Vengeance 78: %reg gives a blank space in text [RESOLVED]

[Jay_H]

In 77, the %reg token would display the current region's name. Right now I'm getting a blank from it.

Code: Select all

Thanks for reporting Jay. There's been a bit of an overhaul with these macros in the background in 78. Hazelnut should be able to fix this in short order when he can.

Hi Jay, I changed what %reg does because I thought it was incorrect before since it was just a duplicate of %crn. i made it so:

%reg gives the home region of the last referenced person
%crn gives the current region the player is in

Having looked at existing quest usage of %reg it seems it should be the same as %crn like it was before. Seems odd to have two different macros for the same data, but I have found others since so it seems its just something daggerfall. Anyway I will change it back, and if you feel the home region of people is of use then we can create a new macro for it.

No problem, thank you I didn't know home region was data stored for NPCs. Is it randomly selected, or are all randomly generated NPCs born within the current region? I can understand Aubk-i being from Sentinel and Direnni from Daggerfall, but my assumption is that the other 99.99% of NPCs would just come from the region they're created in.

[Hazelnut]

The person class has a home region stored, but I don't know how that is populated or what the plans are for it in the future. That will have to wait for Interkarma to comment on.

[Jay_H]

No problem. I'd stick with %reg and %crn being synonymous unless I can see some big advantage to it. I could always put it to use in some form of dialogue, but it would be really arbitrary, and never useful to a quest's procedure.
