I dont know where to write this, I wanted to start a thread where one could discuss creating NPC.

And I need help with this script.

There seem to be mistakes left in the script.
I don't know how to slove them. The message is:
"Übrge nicht gepaste Gesprächbedinung" in line 95 and
"No parser semms to know what to do with this line." in line 107 and 108

If you know a better translation for the english the ghost-NPC uses, if there are odds words etc., please tell me,
i'm no nativ speaker and i'm not sure how ghost talk in english.

Thanks!

-- Cycle Texts - Messages spoken automatically in random intervals.
-- Every NPC should contain at least 10 of those messages.
-- Emotes are possible also starting with "#me ....".

cycletext "Huuu...", "Buhuu...", "Where did I put them?","#me schwebt hektisch duch den Raum.","#me seem to be looking for something."
cycletext "Huuu...", "Buhuu...", "Wo habe ich sie nur hingetan?", "#me flyes throug the room in a hurry.", "#me scheint etwas zu suchen."

That's easy .

Miriam wrote:"Du dumm", "dummer geist", -> "#me schmollt", "Buhuu, verfluchst seist duhuu!"

There is a comma behind "dummer geist". Delete it.

cycletext "Huuu...", "Buhuu...", "Where did I put them?","#me schwebt hektisch duch den Raum.","#me seem to be looking for something."
cycletext "Huuu...", "Buhuu...", "Wo habe ich sie nur hingetan?", "#me flyes throug the room in a hurry.", "#me scheint etwas zu suchen."

One line, one cycletext. Do it like this:

Thank you!
Now it seems to work.

Maybe I'm asking for to much, but:
Can I use Paperdolling on the NPC?
And can I make the ghost look like a girl?

And where can I find information about using the easyQuest Editor?
Does anyone know? ^^"

Well, yes.

hairID = 2
beardID = 5
colorHair = 0, 0, 220
colorSkin = 0, 0, 225
itemHead = 0
itemChest = 181
itemCoat = 0
itemMainHand = 0
itemSecondHand = 0
itemHands = 48
itemTrousers = 34
itemShoes = 53

Here you can paperdoll your NPC. The numbers represent item IDs. You should be able to find a list of item IDs somewhere. Keep in mind that a human looks like a human, not like a ghost. With the settings you have chosen, your ghost would be a female human with this skin colour. The setting "female" for sex makes her a her, but an adult. There are no child avatars.

The easyQuestEditor has a help file afaik. If you have specific questions, you can ask vilarion. However, just play around with it, you cannot break anything .

Why didn't I see this? xD
Start learning is not alway easy, I guess.

I'll play around with the easyQuesteditor as well as the NPCsettings.

Thanks for your help!
