New Quest Dialog Not Appearing In Game?

Post » Wed Feb 13, 2013 6:38 am

Having a bit of a problem trying to add in more dialog using a new side quest in Wyrmstooth. Lets say I have Quest1 and Quest 2. Both quests pass dialog to the same NPC, let's call him NPC1. Dialog from Quest1 (an existing quest already included in the mod) is showing up successfully in game, but dialog from Quest2 (a new quest I just created) isn't showing up in-game despite both quests being more or less configured identically aside from giving different dialog options. Both quests initialize the same way (Start Game Enabled) and contain multiple quest stages. If I add papyrus to Quest2 such as 'setstage 10', it successfully sets the stage to 10 in game if I check using getstage.

NPC1 is a new NPC exclusive to my mod and is not referenced as a quest alias by any quests. Both Quest1 and Quest2 use Top Level dialog branches, not blocking and not exclusive. The SEQ file has been rebuilt but is a loose file not part of the BSA yet.

To be honest, I'm using NPC1 as a test subject at the moment. Let's say NPC2 is the NPC I'd really like to give the dialog to but because the dialog isn't working for NPC2 (being a wolf animal companion), I've given the dialog to NPC1 for the time being though the same problem is occurring - the dialog just won't show up in game.

The dialog conditions on both Quest1 and Quest2 are exactly the same: getisid NPC1 == 1 run on the subject in both instances. If I add the dialog from Quest2 to Quest1, the dialog shows up successfully. If I add the dialog from Quest1 to Quest2, the NPC has no dialog whatsoever. I hope there's no hardcoded limitation on the number of quests a mod can incorporate, that would be tragic.

Quest2 does NOT have any quest aliases that need to be filled. If I add NPC1 as a quest alias (not that I need to), the problem persists.

I am stumped. Any ideas?

Is Quest2 running in-game? The stage can be set even if it's not running.

PS: Checked out your mod on Nexus, looks sweet!
