There's a globaldlgflags.2da already, but it's part of the 2da00.bif file. If you're using global dialogue flags in an adventure you're making, you'll need to unbiff the 2da00.bif, add globaldlgflags.2da to your adventure, then edit that file in Djinni.

hey corylea liked your adventure and thanks for the help. this is my first experience with modding one more question if you don't mind if i unbiff the globaldlgflag file to a folder outside of the witcher data folder will it affect the one for the main witcher game and will i have to rename it so there aren't two files with the same name

If you make your own adventure, I'd create a new globalflags.2da just to the module you work on. (just save to the module)Especially since the original adventure contains hundreds of entries, and you prolly lose overview then.

hey corylea liked your adventure

Thanks, I'm very glad to hear that!

I unbiff all the stuff into a different folder because Djinni reads everything in the Data folder every time you start it up, and it slows way down if it has to read all the unbiffed things. Then I copy whatever I want to add to my module to the Data folder in a separate subfolder, one named something like RemoveMeBeforePlaying. To add something to your module, right-click on it in the Resources viewer, and you'll get the option "Add to module."The globaldlgflag file MUST have the same name, or your module won't know to use it. But once you've added it to your module, it's there, and you can delete the copy you put in your Data folder, so it won't affect the main game.Clear as mud?

hey thanks for the help unkreative got a small little test adventure working

 

[mjolnirviking]

thank you also corylea i got a little adventure working. i saved the global file like unkreative said to the module and it worked. what are the advantages of unbiffing the 2da file then moving it to your module other than i guess that way you know what files are available and knowing the correct file to use doesn't hurt either.which brings me to another question if you unbiff the.2da file to use globaldlgflags to you need to repack what you unbiffed when your done

Good to hear you was successful! ^-^You just can shove all unbiffed files into a folder outside the TW Data folder, which you could name - "original files" - or what ever you like. It's sometimes just useful to keep them, as you'll possibly need different other *2da documents (like alchemy_ingre.2da, appearance (in case you do retextures, you can change this here!), talentstable .etc)- depending on what you like to change for your adventure, of course.For YOUR adventure files it's useful to create an "Override" folder in the Datafolder. You can store all the files for your adventure you possibly want to load/or which you have changed in there. In case you don't need some unpacked files, there is no need to repack, you just can delete those, as you easily can unbiff them again from the keyfiles.

hey unkreative can you tell me how to extract animations from the original witcher red box first edition iknow there where some animations there that i didn't see in the e.e. or couldn't find in the djinni

hey unkreative can you tell me how to extract animations from the original witcher red box first edition iknow there where some animations there that i didn't see in the e.e. or couldn't find in the djinni

I wonder, actually there should be more animations coming with the EE... But allright, what do you want to do with the animations?1.) Do you want to use additional anim. in cinematics? (not all show up, which are actually in the game!)If you want to load animations to a cinematic, which now do not appear when you create a new cinematic file, you must create an "animation sets" folder first inside your "Cutscenes" folder. If you do not have the folder, Djinni will crash, if you try to load animation sets.With this done, you must shove all *mda files into that animation sets folder. *mda are all the animation files.You'll find those with the meshes (which are *mdb - what's kinda compiled *mdl fornat). Watch out - the ending of the animationfiles there is *mba ! (like lofty_w1.mba, cr_wraith.mba)I've just copied all *mba files from there to my animation sets folder and renamed them to *mda.When you're done, you can make use of these files in a cinematic.2.) Do you want to add anim. to a character, when the character actually doesn't have this kind of animation?First of all, make a copy of the file you want to change. That can be any cr_*mba file like:

The first thing you see are the animations. Theoretically you could open now some other model (normally all bipeds should carry the same skeleton), which has an animation you'd like to see on this model, and "copy" the animations from the other file. Men of course got typical male animations and women, well female behaviour. But you could try to add a different fighting style. ^-^

unkreativ,thanks for taking the time to help me out .now that i know where to look maybe i'll find the animation file i'm looking for you may know the one from the red box first edition during a conversation cinematic with geralt it seemed to be in most conversations he would always scratch his head like he was either confused or bored

This one actually should not be out - I mean I've seen him randomly scratch in EE. XD
