== Bug in AddTopic-Box == | |||
When you add new infos to existing topics (e.g. GREETING) then the AddTopic box only works for the mod that is loaded as the last one (and doesn't get its FormIDs changed.) | |||
I sniffed a bit in the ESP with a Hex-Editor and found out that the entry for the info-line contains the FormID of the topic that is added in the Add-Topic-box. | |||
When a plugin isn't the last in the list, the FormID of this new topic is adapted (e.g. 01001234 to 02001234) | |||
But the FormID that is stored in the Addtopic-data for the new line in the GREETINGS-topic is not changed. The game still looks for a topic with the FormID 01001234 but can't find it and thus the topic isn't displayed. | |||
This doesn't happen for choices, and the AddTopic box works fine with new topics, so I assume the bug is that the routine that changes the AddTopic-entries decides whether to change the entry or not by looking at the FormID of the topic in which the line is spoken, while it should look at the contents of the Add-Topic box. | |||
You can also reproduce this in the Construction Set. Addtopic-entries in GREETINGS or other topics from Oblivion.esm will be gone in the non-active plugin | |||
