Stunning Revelations from Orion

Thanks Krunch, but don't single me out for 'numerous testing and fixes' - no telling how many nameless Co8ers who went before us all contributed such things to the versions leading up to and including 3.0.4. I 'll be happy for my named stuff to be recognised (buggered up though it all may be). And he doesn't have to give credit for DH since he has tried, in his own half-assed way, to get rid of it from his mod.

O and 0rion DID send me a protos.tab with Liv's Skeletal Priest changed back so it could be optional. It wouldn't load: I opened it and stuff was garbled, I strongly suspect he modified it in Word or some such place to take advantage of copy-paste etc. (NO EXCUSESS PEOPLE, don't do that! Use ProtoEd or ToEEWB or don't do it!) Anyways, I never posted it on here because posting something broken didn't make much sense (I have referred to it before though, I didn't try to supress it).

Mind u, its not like him to post something without testing it... :errf:

 

He's at it again!!! BLOODY 0rion79.

[EDIT] Hehehe, they deleted the thread...:evil_laug

 

Isn't that page on savefile.com yours Shiningted?

 

Yeah thats the mirror for the voicefiles. I don't know that it works any more, they auto-delete there if stuff doesn't get downloaded for a fortnight or so (and its obsolete now we have the Voice and Portrait pack).

Shame about GameBanshee, I woulda liked to have read that

 

New Game: Where's Orion?

While many of us are wondering where our old pal Orion is hiding, being as he's not making any appearances here, I thought it might be fun to start a new game of the same title to pass the time. Where's Orion?

Rules:

You must select a dialogue tree from Orion's mod that contains original dialogue, plus Orion-modified dialogue. Third party dialogue, such as from Livonya or Ted or somebody, is optional. You must post one sequence of dialogue-tree options that contain original and Orion content. The trick is to see if you can ID the Orion dialogue. Only the most cunning among us will likely be able to do so, as Orion's 'mad skillz' extend well beyond simple hacking of code. Winners will receive a complimentary download of Orion's next update. Here's my offering. (Thanks to Ted for pointing me in this direction.)


Chapter 1: Brother Smyth's Onesies

PC: You said you have Masterwork quality items?

Brother Smyth: Not so fast, sir. I'm not sure you're good enough.

PC: What is that supposed to mean?

Brother Smyth: It is years that I do this job and I learned how to forge every kind of masterwork gear but still the materials that I use to craft my best pieces are so hard to work that I don't want to see my efforts wasted due to the first wanna-be adventurer that gets killed from the first orc that he will meet. So, if you want them, you must proof yourself worthy. Bring me a trophy, something hard to kill... let's say the head of a giant, and I will sell you my one-pieces!


So . . . any brave souls out there care to venture a guess? :icon_chuc

 

Re: Where's Orion?

Ooh, not sure if this exactly follows your game rules Gaear, but here's 100% unaltered 0rion...

Code:

{130}{I.... I.... yes... after all.... YES! DAMN'IT! I can do it! You persuaded me, let's go and show to those temple fanatics who we are!}{I.... I.... yes... after all.... YES! DAMN'IT! I can do it! You persuaded me, let's go and show to those temple fanatics who we are!}{}{}{}{pc.follower_add( npc )}
{131}{Great! it is just a pity that you sentyour men against us, we could have recruited them as well. Well, if they died, probably they were too weak to serve us. Let's go!}{}{8}{}{0}{}
{131}{Good! Go!}{}{-7}{}{0}{}
{150}{Yes?}{Yes?}{}{}{}{}
{150}{I need you to leave the group. Now.}{}{1}{}{160}{pc.follower_remove(npc)}
{151}{Uh, nothing. Bye.}{}{1}{}{0}{}
{160}{Alas, my destiny is really to die alone.... very well, but you will regret it!}{Alas, my destiny is really to die alone.... very well, but you will regret it!}{}{}{}{}
{161}{Yes, yes.. whatever. Farewell.}{}{1}{}{0}{}
{170}{Men, kill this gang of fools that entered our territory! Make their blood to color the snow!}{Men, kill this gang of fools that entered our territory! Make their blood to color the snow!}{}{}{}{npc.attack( pc )}

The NPC? Is Grank, from the water node. Please take a close look at how the lines numbered 131, and 150 (both of each) can not both be displayed simultaneously (so removing Grank as an NPC is not possible), and line 170? I'm not sure if it could cause a CTD (don't fancy testing it either) but it certainly isn't like ANY other npc attacks you response in the game, for 3 reasons...
1) no player responces.
2) no go to line 0 (to end dialogue)
3) because combat is initiated by the npc and can't respond, you probably won't even get the chance to read this line anyway.
Not to mention 0rion's typical bad spelling, grammar etc...

My favourite quote? "Make thier blood to color the snow!"
