Dialogue not working

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:58 pm

I'm adding an additional branch to a vanilla NPC's original dialogue (left window) via the Player Dialogue tab (I didn't use the new dialogue view), but for some reason its not appearing in the game. I marked it as toplevel just like the original, and the starting topic is set to the corrrect topic. When I switched to the Dialogue View tab, the new stuff is not being reflected there. What I'm expecting to see is the topic starter for each branch when I activate the NPC.

Is there something I'm not doing correctly?

EDIT:
OK, I went back and added the new dialogue branch, only this time directly using the new Dialogue View. No luck. :shakehead:
In the white space I added the new branch, and topic info. Made sure its set to toplevel. I can't see what else would be required to make the new topic appear. Scripting shouldn't be necessary as the original branch doesn't need it. I can't see any blocking dialogue preventing it (which shows up green).
Confused! Nonplused! Discombobulated ! = help! :obliviongate:

Is there at least one valid info in your new branch? A topic won't be displayed if there is not a valid info behind it. If you have done that, why don't you post a screenshot of the Player Dialogue tab with your new topic shown, so we can have a better chance of seeing what is going wrong.

Will do, when I get back to my home PC, I'll post.

I made another plugin with my own NPC, just to simplify and clarify the problem... and upload the pics. Only it worked as expected. Maybe its the conditions on the responses are preventing anything from happening. Also I'm using aliases, which I'm trying to get used to. Or maybe there is an issue with adding new topics to vanilla NPC's dialogue. At least the dialogue method I was using is working.
