I am also trying to get the yack pack into turoial.base as it would save me heaps of time. So i have a 2 questions.

1. Why isn't my yack pack working?
2. How do i get it in tutorial.base

Oh and if possible can someone who has succesfully implented the yack pack please send me the changed files from the engine folder. I have never made any changes to my engine before so it will probaly work on my torque. My email is bishop.alexander@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

You will need to compile Yack Pack changes into the engine to use yackpack. This is the link that should walk you step by step how to compile your engine.

It is definatley the engine that has stuffed it up. Im going to delete the game folder in the engine folder and get another one.

Also can someone please send me there game folder that they have used to put the yack pack in there game.

Alexander,

Please refer to the user guide in the documentation, under the heading "Attaching Dialogue to Actors."

I looked at it but im still unsure. I spawn an npc using this code in the console:

new AIPlayer(Bob) { datablock = "PlayerBody"; position = LocalClientConnection.camera.getPosition(); };

I can't actually talk to the npc i just spawned.

Alexander,

In the PlayerBody datablock, did you add the required parameters specified by the documentation?

I read the docs it never said anything about the PlayerBody datablock. It would really help if i could talk to you over msn.

I still can't get it working. I have redone it 4 times. I need live support. Alex stone are you able to provide live support?

Alexander,

I can't provide you with free live support. Everything you need to know is in the provided documentation. Open docs/index.html. Then click the User Guide link, and finally choose the "Attaching Dialogue to Actors" shortcut. If the documentation seems confusing to you, you may want to get more practice with developing Torque mods first by working on other aspects of your game, and then come back to dialogue.

It never says how to spawn the npc. I am using the dls that came with the yack pack. So my question is how do i get an npc in game taht uses that dialog?
