Quick Question

[MidrealmDM]

when adding description entries in my modmain lua for the playable character Maxwell

should I list it as

"STRINGS.CHARACTERS.WAXWELL.DESCRIBE..."

or

"STRINGS.CHARACTERS.MAXWELL.DESCRIBE..."

Never thought about that, but I believe it's probably WAXWELL since that's how Maxwell's lua file was called (Waxwell.lua). Maxwell is probably how he's listed in the game. For example Wigrfrid, according to the program is Wathgrith.

The confusion comes with the speech file, which is called "maxwell_speech.lua". Just try it out, I guess. (unless you aren't good/patient enough to do AM and don't wanna cheat, like me )

Waxwell is the playable character, Maxwell refers to the NPC.

The problem is I haven't unlocked Maxwell as a playable character.

so it makes testing problematical.

Yes I know.

But the speech file for 'Waxwell' is labeled as 'speech_maxwell'

leaving me to wonder which I should use.

There is a mod that unlocks all characters (unlock all released characters I think it is called). Easiest way to test and play maxwell quickly.

[DeathDisciple]

you can always just force unlock it

    GetPlayer().profile:UnlockCharacter("waxwell")    GetPlayer().profile.dirty = true    GetPlayer().profile:Save()

but to answer the original question, one has to take a peek at strings.lua

STRINGS.CHARACTERS ={    WAXWELL = require "speech_maxwell",

so obviously WAXWELL
