The thing is, she IS supposed to be different when hardened -- keep her unhardened, you get all the same dialogs as the vanilla game.  But it's an obvious bug keeping the hardened dialogs out.  The character was written this way.

I was referring mainly to her inclination to turn on the love switch on you anyway despite being told no Posted Image  Wasn't aware of the issues with hardened versions of the conversations, but then i left her the default way in the playthroughs so far.

Just saw Leliana's -100 leaving speech. It's very good. I would feel like a total piece of crap if I got that from someone who works so hard to be forgiving.

Ahhhh, no.  I'm leaving a lot of stuff alone.  I do my fixes based off script notes and very obvious bugs.  The hardened dialog isn't getting in because a flag is used that doesn't have any code attached to it -- it's easy enough to switch the flags (easier than fixing the flag since I avoid changing the .ncs files whenever possible.  

Edit: When I say obvious bugs, I don't mean, "Well ,this doesn't make sense to me.  It must be a bug." It's things like the hardened dialog not making it in.  There are things I know were taken out deliberately by being given a flag that ensures it won't fire -- but those are generally quite easy to figure out as well.

I never push people into even the negative approval region. I find it pretty easy to get along with everyone on most things.

I've fixed quite a few of her bugs. I think I have all the hardened/unhardened ones, the loop in her conversation, her not being in a romance when asking about the marriage, then there's this one. Also, I just fixed (will go in my newest version) an incorrect dialog choice appearing if the romance is cut off. Are there more?

Yes, sadly.

I don't have the toolset open so these are the ones I remember for now.

1.If ther romance is active and she's hardened she will join the threesome at the pearl. The scripting comments in the toolset suggest that she will only join if she is adore or higher. However, the adore flag is missing which means you can get her into the threesome with a very low appoval. If you ask me I would rather have the make_love flag set to true in order for her to join (basically, the same with Alistair).


2. Her dialogue when you ask her if she feels better about what happened with Marjie(you know the one that goes ninja on you) is supposed to be different for each gender. You only hear the female version in vanilla.

3. "Does the hero get his girl" at the coronation for males. This line should only be available if the romance is active. That's what the scripting comments suggest(as if it wasn't obvious already). It appears for everyone.

I have a save before she makes that declaration.

If you want it let me know how to send it to you, since I've never used rapidshare before.

Hmm actually, that LELIANA_MAIN_CHANGED doesn't have any code attached to it is pretty normal -- it is a "main flag", that is the type of switch which gets set/read by dialogue files and possibly scripts, but it's not evaluated every time it is accessed, hence no code is necessary for it (it can be present if setting the flag triggers some additional events like completion of a quest or a cutscene but otherwise it's not required) Only the "defined flags" need to have the code attached to them because it's that code that calculates the state of switch dynamically each time the flag is tested.

Unless by no code you mean the game mistakenly sets the APP_LELIANA_CHANGED but then tests for LELIANA_MAIN_CHANGED? Posted Image

Yeh, I did just fix point 2 though it has an issue if the female is in a romance with her (ugh, I'll look at the flag, but hopefully I can fix it another way).   The other two are actually not in leliana_main.dlg but definitely fixable (I'll put it in my Isabela fix).  I'll also look at the epilogue -- it is an easy fix.

Thank you!

Except the problem is LELIANA_MAIN_CHANGED is used as a condition, but with no code attached and no flag set, there's no actual condition.  I changed the condition to APP_LELIANA_CHANGED as that this the flag that is set if she is changed.

Edit: And yes, that is exactly what I mean.

Looking in the Toolset i don't see anything to this effect -- there's simply a check for APP_IS_CHANGED flag. If it's set Leliana will declare she can't let PC go alone, otherwise she'll protest and Isabela calls it off.

Regarding IS_ADORE check, this is universal scripting for all companions, handled by genpt_approval_follower script.

I think what blademaster7 means is that in the isabela file, in order for Leliana to participate in a 3some, she just has to be changed and in a romance.

Aye, but that's the way it is in default game (in the Toolset code at least) and i can't find any indication this is supposed to work any different (i.e. no mention of adore or higher check... unless i'm missing something)

You are missing something. The script note says she should be at adore or higher. It's where Leliana says, "You're going with her?"

Me, too.  They're only toons but I can't stand the thought of hours of snarky comments.  And from an rpg perspective it is dubious, even if playing an "evil" pc.  You could well end up lying unconscious on the field of battle and need these folks to save you.

Ok, I opened the toolset so I can check it.. :P

Here's the problem

Posted Image

If you want my opinion the I suggest using then "make_love" flag and not the adore one. That's how it works for Alistair and Morrigan(well, she won't join but she will start yelling at you lol).

Ahh indeed, it doesn't show in the line itself so i overlooked that.

Would presume the comment is just remains of something that was eventually changed to the current state, maybe because Leliana is supposed to be more open-minded about this sort of things than Alistair who does have this check implemented. But it's hard to tell.

Sten is pretty easy to get along with I got him past 60 after the first convo. at camp. Besides I get along with most people and they are all awsome. Shale especially in her banter:

Wynne:Why do you call me the elder mage?

SHALE: Because it is purple and a hyena obvouisly.

Alistair does have the "adore or higher" check actually. It's on Isabela's line "Perhaps your friend is feeling left out?"  which opens option to coax him into the whole deal. Without it he just goes to stand in corner, sulking.

edit: there's further condition for make_love too though down the line, yes.

Nah... Leliana won't sleep with you unless you get her approval at 91+(love). To have her join a threesome(or even foursome) when her approval is in the 50ish zone seems wrong to me.

That's why I recommended the make_love flag. You only get it after you bed Leliana(and her approval will be very high by that point).

That makes sense Blade, if she is unwilling to sleep with you, why would she sleep with you and another woman?

There are a lot of outright mistakes of this nature.  This instance is trivial; I don't think it matters either way, but she won't make love to the warden, even changed, unless she's in love, so it makes more sense that she won't participate in a threesome unless she's in love.  Then again, Zevran doesn't even have to be romanced -- and he normally won't go to the tent unless romanced and 26+ -- so you could be right.  But there are many MANY coding errors that are basic data entry errors.  I almost always assume the script note is the correct one, and that deviations are the error.

There's just too many obvious errors to assume that the conditions, not the script notes, are correct.

I think it might work with her because the way her line is worded puts it in context she's doing that out of jealousy someone else will get it on exclusively if she doesn't interfere, and that's pretty strong incentive to do something she otherwise wouldn't (yet) do. I could see the love thing reasoning work too, though.

He does? Seems superfluous when he also has the make_love flag.

Hmmm... maybe both checks are needed just in case you slept with Alistair and then dropped his approval below 70? I don't know.

Actually, no it doesn't.  Alistair doesn't proposition the warden until 91+ (love) even though they can make love at adore.  And you can always turn him down.

The adore check opens the conversation angle where the matter is brought up, the make_love is used to give player option to actually complete the deal.

Oh, and about Leliana's and the threesomes... Zevran has something to say about that:

Leliana: Oh my, what have I got myself into?
Zevran: Ah, that impish smile of yours, Leliana, you little minx... it just gives you away.

she isn't as against the idea as one could think Posted Image
