Quest tutorial not working

Post » Mon Nov 19, 2012 12:46 pm

I am going through the official tutorial for creating a quest and have run into a problem.
in the dialogue section of the tut i have done everything up to where it says to test in-game, but when i go into the game the npc does not have dialogue options. trying to talk to him just gives me the generic phrases ("Hey"/ "what do you what"/etc.).
also in the quest dialogue views section the main branch topic shows no text in the orange box where the ID and topic text should be, however when i go to edit it, the information is all there and correct.

Anyone have any ideas what i have done wrong?

Game bug. Save and reload the game.

Not sure how you did it, but try

Load game with mod enabled
Go to NPC
Save the game
Load that save
Talk to NPC

If that doesn't work your dialogue is set up wrong and it's not the bug.

Likely the dialog bug. Adding custom dialog to an existing quest doesn't show up. A reload may or may not work.

Glad it works now mate.

I find that sometimes, the box looks blank. Try moving it about and resizing it. Usually fixes it.
