Better rumor system - where to find ?
« on: March 13, 2015, 05:53:13 pm »

Could I find anywhere mod that can improve dialogue system and add "slain" tag if I want to tell someone that  I slain dragon (for example)?
(or better - slain and "creature tag" for example "slain human", "slain beast" etc.)
That's so simple and It could be very helpful for me...

No.

EDIT: Wait. That's actually wrong. DFHack can edit keywords.

...you know, after playing with Rum's invoke script, it seems like you can tell it to insert whatever option you want there, with a smarter search option (why oh why does it trim out the "I slew a dragon" for a bunch of "I hear a dragon was at this one place" rumor options?) that perhaps sorted by kills, marching, flight, presence, and so forth... hmmm.

Oh ho ho ho, poking around at the values and seeing which were in my last actions while talking to some zombies was enough to do this:


Again, all credit to the folks who made the API and Rumrusher for putting the script together, I just poked at it to test some of the choices as a proof of concept, I'm sure there is a way to tell it to ask for a keyword/provide search options/summarize what you pick, but I'mma have to poke at it a good while longer to figure out what all the pieces in the action > talk > event and such mean.
Code: [Select]
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].choice.type=11
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].choice.type=118
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].title[0].value=("Inquire about any troubles")
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].keywords[0].value=("Troubles")
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].title[0].value=("Summarize conflict")
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].keywords[0].value=("Conflict fight")

Wait, can you add a little more detail to what you're talking about in modifying Rumrusher's script? If I were, perhaps maybe perhaps, interested in exploring this and needing a starting point?

Rum figured out how to insert the different options and have them respond properly, I took parts of that and entered them manually and got a couple of interesting options from playing with the little bit I posted there. in the code tags. It's kinda hit and miss figuring out what the different values are as far as I can tell, but I'm not quite wizardy enough to figure out how to wrap it in a nice pretty gui with a searchable interface though I get the feeling it would be possible.

Where can I find Rumrusher's original script?

Oh, the invoke.lua was uhhh... hell, here's the one I've got in my hack/scripts atm:
Code: [Select]
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].choice.type=163
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].choice.type=162
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].title[0].value=("Invoke obediance By using The True Name
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[0].keywords[0].value=("Bond")
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].title[0].value=("Banish By using The True Name")
--df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].keywords[0].value=("MEGAMURDER")
df.global.ui_advmode.conversation.choices[1].keywords[0].value=("Banish")
