Hello there. Anyone knows of a trick to do this? Ctrl selecting many doesn't seem to work, it always links the first and stops. It would save me a lot of time if such a thing existed. Also, is there a keyboard control for this? Like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V for copy pasting them?

I guess you're talking about conversations? Yeah, I don't know of a way. Maybe there's a utility somewhere that'll allow a keyboard macro to be attached to a visual control?

I use ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy conversation nodes all the time, including blocks of nodes, (when pasting, you need to make sure an appropriate type of node is selected to receive it) but I always use the context menu if it's a link instead of a normal node, creating a new link to the original node rather than a copy of an existing link, because I seem to recall inconsistent results with the latter.

Well, copy pasting works, either with crtl-c ctrl-v or right click select of course. It does with many nodes at once, which though might not show copied at once, but they're there. What I'm wondering is links. The grey nodes. Like the ending I have now, which uses around 30 starting conditional nodes. At the end of each one from the top, I need to link the ones below. Progressively it goes faster, since the 1st needs 29 links, 2nd 28 and so on. But I was wondering if I could link all 28 together by some kind of trick, instead of selecting one by one. Ctrl selecting all of them does not work. It only links the first from the top of the selected ones.

Well, if I understand what kind of structure you're talking about, you could create a temporary (or even permanent depending on what you need it for) dummy node above the links that has all of them connected to it, and copy/paste that dummy node to duplicate the whole batch.

On my turn, if I understand what you said , is linking the same node (dummy) to all, and then deleting the link that are not needed from the nodes linked to? I guess it's less time and not so much of an annoying task to do like that.

Yes, that's one thing that I've done before, along with moving blocks of nodes outside of the main trees in order to make it easier to coordinate them, since it doesn't matter where the nodes are if I'm linking to them and have appropriate links back to the main body of nodes.

I've seen official content do that.

Maybe that's where I got the idea.

It depends if this will be NWN 2 or 1. If you use the 1 format then the blank node you connect to will give you a blank on the text box whereas the nwn 2 format falls through the blank node and the player notices nothing.

 

IIRC i have connected multiple links with CTRL select. I need to have a try at it tonight and see what I can do but I think Tchos has the right of it. Put all your answers (grey nodes) after an npc node in another section of the conversation then link to the npc node. It will fall through the blank node to the links but only in cutscene format.

 

I use this a lot for npc conversations.
