Change that annoying butler

[Skitty]

this is the butler. ill work on the maid later

here you have 2 files in this folder. you need to know how to make pack files or need to know how to data-pack things.
i will not be guiding you on those things.

there two files are simply laid out
\local\xml\ai_local_butler.english
and
\db\ai\local\aidescdata_pet_partnerhumanmale

ai_local_butler.english is where you can add new chat

aidescdata_pet_partnerhumanmale is what the ai will pull from the ai_local_butler that is text/speech related.

you can see what each one does because of the title of the skill ie.

Code: [Select]

<pattern name="command:call">
<param_decl>
</param_decl>
<sequence>
<cmd name="say_to_all" text="_LT[xml.ai_local_butler.3]" />
<cmd name="wait" min="500" max="1000" />
<cmd name="chase" target="1" />
</sequence>
</pattern>
this means the shout command Come!

if you notice xml.ai_local_butler.3 this is the speech slot that is related to the command.
so when you pull up ai_local_butler.english; you look at line 3 and it says

Code: [Select]

3 Yes, My Lord

so when you say Come! the butler will respond with Yes, My Lord.

Simple

you can edit it from here. i cleaned it out so it will not say anything so go have fun all i left is number 3 best of luck figuring the rest out.


p.s i literally spent all day with trial and error to get things to work properly to make it simple and stream line for you guys. so if you complain. SO HELP ME GOD.

questions are ok though.

[sheomad]

This is much simpler than my way of doing it, thanks for all the work! 

I assume that for the maid, it is a similar situation in that I point to a custom .txt file? If yes I can probably just rename things and it will work.


It works for maid just the same, simply make a copy of both the XML and the TXT then rename them appropriately and voila!

Now I just need to think of cute things for her to say....

[Skitty]

yup. however the maid has other skills then a butler so mine might cause issues.
i actually went out and made my own custom package because it started to delete files from the pack.

*complains*

[ShaggyZE]

I tried doing the same for maid but she ended up just staying still; not performing her actions/skills and xml.ai_local_maid.1/wander ended up showing the default messages.

Do you have a maid you can try this with so I know what I did wrong?

[Skitty]

the maid has different skills you might have to tweek it a bit to get it to work. ill be working on the maid on asap.

[ShaggyZE]

only different skills i noticed was hide and fireball versus ice spear so it didn't take much tweaking, just not sure what i did to cause the skills not to work.

this is what i got and the .txt's are set to blank so you'll have to unpack add some text, find the problem then repack

then i'll compare what you release with this so i can see what i missed.

[Skitty]

my friend has a maid one working that he based off of mine. ill tell him to send it to me and ill post it here.


-edit-
attached is the maid version
credit to darx

also the maid calls on different ani's and what not so when you use the butler AI it goes DERP WHATS THIS THIS IS NOT MY STUFF. so it freezes.

[wakimomo]

Skitty, I used your butler files without changing anything and he is frozen. Not sure what went wrong. I have the files in the correct spots.

Edit: I'm also using the maid files at the same time and she is frozen too, not sure if they are some how conflicting with each other.

Edit 2: This time I only used your butler files and he is frozen so not sure what's going on if it works for you

[ShaggyZE]

hmm there is a lot of changes between what darx did and i did, most are the numbers of say_to_all and placement; so he didn't copy yours exactly like i did and the  xml.ai_local_maid.?? change should not have played a part and since i used the original merged with your butler.
i know the .ani's were not the problem...the placement and change of numbers he did is not something i would think would cause the freezing but i'll test it out later today, and if it works i will probably still have no idea as to why exactly

he moved his numbers around thats about it. elsewise his does work. if you say look at mine not the clean one. 25 and 1 are difference sayings. so it has a less chance of repeating itself. elsewise you can denote the entire thing to saying 1

Out of curiosity, can you share?

[Skitty]

the method? or the package?

[wakimomo]

It started working randomly, not sure what was wrong

[Skitty]

ive noticed that the package will randomly delete the files and randomly restore them.
