Where should I put run_dialog(1)?

Right after reset_dialog() or somewhere else?

I think there is a rule for that somewhere in the articles. About not making noise around your unborn scenario, I think.

Actually, someone could make a site with anonymous scenarios. I'm thinking about someone who has a rather large amount of space - some scenarios take serious MBs.

It could be done with aa upload form or just by mailig the maker of the site, and he'd do the putting manually.

As for the anonymousity and the contest, people could add a hidden signature somewhere in the scenario. Like, say, an encoded chunk of text somewhere in the readme which, if he/she wanted to reveal, he/she could just post a decoding mechanism.

Was I clear? Say something if I wasn't, I can't tell really.

That doesn't seem to fix it all the way. I now get a completely different error. Something about wrong numbers.

Anyway thanks.

PS: Do you have BoA bitmaps for those giant blue chickens? I could probably use them.

EDIT: I've noticed I missed a few ',0'. I placed them where they should be, now there is no error. It only works in a strange way -- no messages!

I want this to be an outdoor get_me_something_or_other quest. But something's wrong. I don't know where, because I have the error line number problem, but I know this: When I walk into the area it gives me the quest, when I return with the item it shows an error. It shows no messages.

Help me? Please?

Another idea for naming creatures is defining it in the your_scenariodata.txt. Although it uses a creature slot, so I wouldn't recommend it for every day uses. Though bosses or the such could be defined like this.

Wait one moment.

Now it doesn't show the second option at all. We're making progress but I'm still confused.

EDIT: I am even a bigger moron, forgot to undo my previous ideas and it didin't show because of them.

Here is my code:

begintalknode 4;
state = 2;
personality = 1;
nextstate = -1;
condition = get_flag(0,1) == 0;
question = "Ok.";
text1 = "Stuff1";
code =
set_flag(1,0,1);
toggle_quest(0,1);
change_coins(50);
break;

begintalknode 5;
state = 2;
personality = 1;
nextstate = -1;
condition = get_flag(0,1) == 0;
question = "No.";
text1 = "Stuff2";
code =
set_flag(1,0,1);
toggle_quest(0,1);
change_coins(20);
break;

I wish to make a dialogue with the choice to accept a quest or not. If you dissagree, you still get the quest, but with a lower budget. The problem is that when testing I could click both options, one after other.
Simulation:

Ok.->Stuff1->No.->Stuff2->End

I wanted it to be:

Ok.->Stuff1->End

or

No.->Stuff2->End

What's wrong with this picture? What am I doing wrong?

Say this is Vokhoh's castle.

X - marks the door. If we speak of the same door then where is Vokhohs? He ISN'T in the rest of the castle.
