Fixing NPC directions

Post by klausandhelmut »

I'm super new to modding DFU but I'm interested in making a mod to clean up the garbled dialog you see when asking NPCs for directions. Talking about this situation:

I've been looking at a dump of the text tokens from here viewtopic.php?t=1047 and it seems like it should be possible to rewrite them in such a way that they form more coherent sentences when they get concatenated. I imagine it will take me some time to get to a point where I even know where to begin, but before I dig deeper I thought I'd check if it's even possible.

It seems like such an obvious and glaring issue to me that it makes me think it may simply be impossible, otherwise someone surely would have tried before. Is it possible to just overwrite one or more text tokens somehow?

It's a real bummer to feel like every person I ask for directions is having a stroke.
