Talk:A beginner's guide, lesson 6 - Quest Dialogue

Wikifying the guide

Also needs headings, probably needs to be checked for formatting and grammar (honestly haven't looked too closely at that). Since it is a long guide, feel free to do what you can and report here on what was done.

I've done a lot of formatting already, but I haven't read a single word.

--Qazaaq 15:09, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

LOL! That was my response to Lesson 7 when I was formatting the scripts to make them look the same. I didn't read words so much as look for things that weren't the same.

Ok, I'm not sure who edited this lesson, but they have cut out every table/box in the lesson as a result, I don't see how any one could complete this lesson at all. I was asked to remove my byline and effectively surrender my control of these lessons to the 'Wiki' world. I was reluctant to do so but agreed. However, It is important that those who choose to edit these lesson at least have some idea of what is going on in them. It's depressing to read that a lot of formating has occurred without someone reading it. I have little time at the moment to fix the damage done, but I will try to sort it out when I can.

I originally copied the tutorial from the forums here. And the only thing I did was change the formatting to match the other lessons on the Wiki. I didn't do anything else, because I haven't followed it. According to the edit history, not much else has happened since.

I'm not sure what tables/boxes you are referring to, I haven't seen any tables in the forum thread or anything that could resemble a table. I did as well as I could in the limited time I had then, if you tell me what I've broken I will fix it.

If you check the page history, there have never been any tables or boxes as part of the page; no one has removed anything.--Speedo 12:02, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

I think there's something missing here:

Finally in the result script box type the following. Now click the COMPLILE button.--Fstony 18:59, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

You're right, good call. I fixed it. And welcome to the Wiki!

--Qazaaq 20:50, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

There are many more tables and scripts missing that can be found in the RTF documents. Look at all of the topic summary tables in the RTF that are missing on the wiki, for example. --Pyrocow 22:46, 5 October 2009 (EDT)

From a quick glance and the previous discussion, I have removed the Update tag. If an update is required, please tag it and give the reason, as Fstony did.--Haama 15:01, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

Broken Link

I believe the link to the mod files used in this tutorial is broken. When i click on it i get a "this webpage cannot be displayed" error. Could someone link me a download for these files? --Paradox

The link was still pointing to TES Source instead of TES Nexus, it's fixed now. Thanks for reporting!

--Qazaaq 05:14, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

Your very welcome. The links on the lesson 5 article are messed up as well. I would change them myself but im new to Wiki and id rather leave it to a more experienced person.

--Paradox

The link in lesson 5 is fixed as well. Fixing things is a good way to learn how the Wiki works. You don't have to worry that you mess something up, because everything is easily reverted. But of course reporting it on the talk page is fine too if you don't feel comfortable editing article pages.

Possible Error

I've been following this very helpful guide, but I was confused for a bit at this part

QuestStage BGM001==10 GetIsID BGVilanusVilla==1

Should this be

GetStage BGM001==10 GetIsID BGVilanusVilla==1

You are absolutely correct, good call. I'll update this page. Wow, hard to believe that it took this long for someone to notice that...

Question on Forum

This poster claims to have done the tutorial three times, and it doesn't work. I don't know enough about dialog - is there something wrong with the tutorial, or did the poster make a mistake repeatedly? If so, what's wrong with the tutorial that he or she didn't know better?

Missing topic bug

Found a bug, when topics don`t display in dialogue. After adding a topic to "add topics" box on the right side of the topic panel, I`ve added the same topic to the left side. After that I`ve deleted this from the left side and then again tried to add it back. When you select the topic to re-add to the left side, it just do nothing, and in game it wont display even the first topic. To avoid this : Don`t add, delete and add again the same topic to the left side of the topic panel. If you do so, create a new topic on the right side and don`t mess with it anymore like I did.
