*warning brainfart* stupid question, I forgot something

[ket]

Can someone tell me which file dishes out the rewards barkeep gives? I just can't remember the filename for the life of me

Not quetie sure that I've understood the question, but do you mean this:

Code: Select all

[barmen_kill_stalker_1]
type = kill_stalker
community = actor
text = barmen_kill_stalker_1_text
description = barmen_kill_stalker_1_descr
parent = barman
target = agr_ratcatcher
reward_reputation = +15
;reward_relation = dolg, -5
reward_rank = 5
reward_item = af_ameba_slug
time = 86400
prior = 1

This is from task_manager.ltx from gamedata\config\misc and barman gives af_ameba_slug for the completed job of barmen_kill_stalker_1

I mean the file in general that dishes out the rewards barkeep gives whenever u complete a task he gives you. more specifically, the tasks like the x16/18 missions, what file holds the info on what rewards he gives for those?

Though not all, but (many) some are governed by XML dialog files calling an "action" order which corresponds/calls to relevant script files for related "functions." I'm not on a PC right now, but posting the notes with (rather innovative but still cumbersome) mobile phone. When I've got back at my PC tonight (I'm in UK, too), I'll post an example from the vanilla files.

------------------------------
Edit/Add:

OK....

Now I can try to give an example:

Returning to the Bar after Dark Valley

When looking at the game as if the game playing, first let's see how the relevant dialog goes:

In config\text\eng folder, stable_dialogs.xml

<string id="bar_bar_barmen_start_171">
<text>So, Marked One, you brought the documents from X18?</text>
</string>
<string id="bar_bar_barmen_start_172">
<text>Yeah. Here.</text>
</string>

Action point will be set at bar_bar_barmen_start_172 when actor says "Yeah. Here."

We go to config\gameplay folder and find dialogs_bar.xml

<phrase id="172">
<text>bar_bar_barmen_start_172</text>
<action>bar_dialogs.give_darklab_documents</action>
<action>bar_dialogs.give_darklab_reward</action>
<give_info>bar_darklab_document_done</give_info>
<next>1721</next>

This file governs the process, when the phrase id="172" is called, it activates/calls the text lines and also initiates the action order which in turn points to the "function give_darklab_reward" in bar_dialogs.script

Like this, (from bar_dialogs.script) :

function give_darklab_reward(first_speaker, second_speaker)
dialogs.relocate_money(second_speaker, 10000, "in")
end

Hope it helps

People who are not experienced in modding should not try at all, or if in case of some experience, then they should exercise extreme caution as any simple misspelling, missing or added comma, dot or absolutely anything that you can produce with your keyboard, even misalignment WILL prove FATAL... then CTD...

Thanks nightwatch that triggered my brain back into life the file I was trying to think of is the bar_dialogs script file
