Posted March 27, 2019 Hi, there all you Modders. How would you like to be the Mod Developer that created the best NPC Interaction Mod ever for Wurm Unlimited? This request allows NPCs to have Actual two-way conversations? with a built-in Quest Management System. I can't do it because I am not very skilled a Java and I have no clue how to get started writing a Mod. However, I have come up with an idea for an XML document for the conversation. I imagine a Mod that would interpret the dialog.xml document and present it to the player to interact with in a new client-side custom Dialog Box. It would require both server and client mods. Here is an example of what the dialog.xml document might look. It isn't perfect, but I think it conveys my idea. Spoiler <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <npcs> <npc name="Rachel Long"> <!-- Conditional Starting Dialoges must come before the Default Starting Dialog --> <!-- Starting Dialog if PC is currently on the NPC's Find Ring Quest --> <dialogue id="100"> <condition Quest="Rachel_Long_Find_Ring" QuestState="GT0.0 AND LT100.0"></condition> <text>"Hey, have you found my ring yet??"</text> <options> <option text="Yes I did.

Posted March 28, 2019 if the answers are just multiple choice you can easily do that without needing client side mod, the game already handles each answer you make to the pop up questions. Think of the GMtool as an example, you can choose to look at a players skills, at their mails, at their friends, at their inventory, all from the 1 window popup. I said can be done easily, I mean can be done with many many many hours work though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah it could be a ton of popup dialogs with multiple choice options all server side. Wouldn't look very pretty but wouldn't need a client mod either. I made one once where it was just multiple choice kingdom selection and teleporting you to the kingdoms spawnpoint, but you could make it do other stuff like what you want.
