In addition to giving quests, the merchant in the refugee center is the guy everyone tells you to trade with. Seems like he would be expected to have at least a decent number of things to trade. However it seems like he only has the equipment he is carrying on his person, so some clothing and a sing…

These are all fine ideas. Take a look at CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/3765602255a903c7668f404c86280ec4608d2e6d/data/json/npcs/TALK_REFUGE_RANCH.json [ { "id": "TALK_RANCH_FOREMAN", "type": "talk_topic", "dynamic_line": { "u_is_wearing": "badge_marshal", "yes": "…

While I am grateful for the suggestions and help. I really wanted to build ideas and not get too in depth with the programming elements again. I gave up on that path a long time ago. Story on the otherhand is always something I can bang out and ask folks to add to it for polish. If anyone wants to …

Again, JSON isn’t coding. Nevertheless, this is not how you intend to contribute. That’s fine - people have different strengths. But in the future, please don’t complain about how improving NPCs are last on everyone’s agenda without mentioning that you didn’t care to make the effort to improve th…

How would one go about adding a new mission? I can see the dialogue options in the json, but it looks like TALK_MISSION_LIST is populated somewhere in the code (looks like npctalk.cpp is involved, but I imagine it’s more than that). Plus there’s the actual mission effects that somehow need to be imp…

In my experience the mission code is pretty messy. The dialogue that initially enables the mission is in JSON. I haven’t found all the mission dialogue in the cpp files yet… Going to have to pretty soon though :-/

Someone who knows the code well enough should really put a quick-builder thread, with details on how to relatively quickly add new stuff. Something like: If you want to add a new mission: Add new mission title in Add new mission dialogue in add new mission goal in etc. If you want to add a ne…

Missions are defined in data/json/npcs/missiondef.json and data/json/npcs/npcs.json. There’s a bunch of hard-coded parsing behind the scenes, but I’m pretty sure you can add a new quests without adding new code. Each type of NPC in npcs.json can have a “mission_offered” string, like "mission_offe…

Thanks for the breakdown! Maybe my next dialogue step then will be to set up some new overmap terrain types and associated NPC quests to go there.

Is there a way to specify a category of items for a retrieval quest? The ones I’ve been noticing so far seem to be for a single specific item. But for the merchant canned food quest I’m working on, I would like any canned food to qualify, as there’s no reason to prefer one over another. Also, how ma…
