Make liasons say what they REALLY think
« on: December 09, 2008, 07:41:03 am »
Change their text file and make them say "Screw you guys, I'm going home" in the part where they leave.

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

Fix up the elves too.  Elven liason: Right you cow humping midgits, If you even wave your beards above ground in a fashion that upsets the delicate ecological balance we'll sneak back here at one night and it will be *wooden arrow* splinters where the sun dont shine for the lot of you.

C'mon, give us the lovely, lovely mugs.

I like to change the threat text from "Prepare to die!" to "You killed my father! Prepare to die!" Go ahead. Do it.

Bonus points if you make the name files only capable of a combination of Inigo and Montoya. Although the Rng will screw you over everytime, you'll always get Montoya Inigo says: You killed my father! Prepare to die!.

Edit the text files in /data/speech.

Incidentally, does anybody know if the usage of the speech files is hardcoded or what?  If you mod in new entities, how can you give them speech files?

In the creature data (not entities) there's a line [SPEECH:blah.txt] that determines what files a species uses in conversation.

Oh, interesting.  Does it automatically infer stuff like human_male.txt from that?

Unfortunately, the files that determine the liason/trader's responses appear to be in the 'dipscript' folder, and cannot be opened in notepad. Shame, this would've been a nice modding opportunity.

The OP must bring this to the Suggestions forum.

It must be done!

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

 That was uncalled for. Apologize to Impending Doom.

 But yes, the text there already is very nice. Particularly the taunts.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.
