Well, I'll let you figure out the commands of the Roleplay NPCs yourself, but for those that sell items the following commands should help you.

"Help." Should display a list of helpful commands.

"What do you sell?" Should display a vague list of what the NPC sells.

"List your wares." Should display the precise items that an NPC sells.

"I sell one <insert item name>" To sell item.

"I buy one <insert item name>" To buy item. (I think that's right, others correct me, if I'm wrong)

Of course, there are general commands like:

"Hello."

"Who are you?"

And so forth.

Some NPCs also require that you speak in their native languages, such as the NPC in the dwarf town.

That should be enough for you to figure every other NPC out. The process is fairly logical.

Better use numbers instead of words ... some don't react on words, only on numbers.

"I want to buy a / 1 ...."
"I want to buy 3 ...."

What do you do if you got the second gift for the NPC, but he has forgotten that you already gave him the first? Ok I bought the Gift for the Orc, but intstead the NPC that I bought it of SAM, gave me a hatchet will it do any diffrence?

Also have weather conditions been put into the game?
I noticed that it stopped raining when I entered the game, without even knowing it started.

It is easy.
The NPC reacts on your sentence: I want to sell a sword.
For the NPC, sword is his keyword combined with an item id, let's say 345.
But you are holding a sword with ID 321 in your hand / bag. The NPC checks the IDs, sees, that you haven't got the right one and says: Come back, when you have that.

That is the same reason as to why certain parts of clothing, depending on their shape and color, and some other items, cannot be sold, and the NPC reacts with a "Come back when you have that!".

Exactly why an item shouldn't just be 'trousers' or 'sword'. When clicked on, they should be 'green trousers' or 'cheap sword'.

So you can't sell swords? :?
Shouldn't this be posted on the flyspray site or does everybody already know about it?

If you have the sword with the item ID, Eliza wants, you can sell it to her.
But not each sword is sellable.
Same for other categories.

About the swords—just a guess of mine, but perhaps the NPCs only buy the types that can be smithed, not those that can be found as "item drops" from NPCs or monsters.

Hmmm. I wrote his dialogue, but even I can't remember.

I believe it starts with "greetings" or "hello."

Then he says that he is "Tihgorac the warrior" and then you say "Warrior" or "fighter" and it will take you deeper into his web of commands. All of his commands should be in the preceding sentence or at least obvious after the preceding sentence.

While we're on the subject of 'the magic words' to get an NPC to buy something... Eliza says she buys bows... but I sat for nearly half an hour one night trying variations on names and a/one/1/some, and with an 's' and without... these were crafted items... and she *always* says 'come back when you have that'. So what's the magic word? lol

She only buys short bows. I'm still trying to make one of these. Even with instruction it seems I'm missing something.

I think there is a bug...

The "Hunter's bow" appears when produced as "bow"

The "serinjah-rider's bow" appears as "hunter's bow"

The "bow" cant be sold
