I'm still modding Stalker... need a wee bit of help :o)

[ket]

I don't know how many of us are left, but I'm hoping enough to help me solve a problem I've hit For anyone that might of forgotten I'm developing the TK mod, or as its been called for a while now "SIN". The mod has come a long way but I've still not finished it yet, if you want you can check it out here; https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-singularity

Anyway, to my woes. Testing the most recent additions and improvements I stumbled upon a dialog CTD with Nimble if hes in the wounded state; No available phrase to say, dialog[escape_shustryi_start]. Can anyone remember how to fix this type of CTD? I've checked him in character_desc_escape.xml and he already has <actor_dialog>dm_help_wounded_medkit_dialog</actor_dialog> so this CTD must be specific to prior to the player speaking to him to get the flash drive, can anyone remember what I'm forgetting here to fix this?

Good to see you KET. It might take a minute but I'm sure someone will come along with your answer

I'm always around rock, just not with always the time As one of the "whippersnappers" back in the day of SoC modding its almost my turn to be the "old guard" now I think I might have found a solution to the CTD, giving Nimble the same tutorial dialog Tolik has.

My theory is if Tolik dies the player never gets the tutorial infoportion for healing NPCs, and so Nimble also being an "important" NPC if he gets wounded before you get to speak to him about the flash drive the game just sees you don't have the infoportion for the wounded dialog and just goes "Wow! WTF is going on here!?! Imma spaz out!!" I need to test this band aid fix but in theory giving Nimble <start_dialog>tutorial_wounded_give_medkit</start_dialog> in character_desc_escape.xml just like Tolik has should work the only difference is either Tolik or Nimble will trigger the tutorial now.

If anyone else has a better idea or solution then by all means let me know I like my fixes to be as neat, tidy, and simple as possible.

Hey Ket, good to see you continuing with the spirit of SoC
You may be on the right track to identify the problem that you've come to face there.
I'll try to test your thinking and replicate and see if I can be of any help.
You may need to be a bit patient I'm afraid though, as this month I hardly find time to sleep and eat, uncomfortably demanding month, I'll do my best though.
