Laf. Such an old topic now. I don't see this as being too hard to implement.

One such thing:

• Greet [NPC] returns: You greet [NPC,] (checks race/charisma/random reactions predified by the code) [NPC] greets/sneers/grunts/snuffs (at) you.

Another thing:

• Ask [NPC] about [topic] returns: [NPC] looks confused/gives some other info.

How many actual NPCs are of any major signifigance to the conversing right now? Not too many, i should think. Tolnedra is a great place to test such a feature.

Further example:

• "greet brax" - Brax's eyes gleam as he eyes your purse. random2 Brax notions [target] to ask him about deposits and withdrawals and interest.
  • "ask Brax about depositing" - Brax points to the sign. random2 Brax tells [target] (an actual target only message (great for questing to do it this way also) (room seems [Player] asks Brax something. And Brax tells [Player] something/confused look at them.) [message]/gives [target] a confused look.

Could have a list of different personality types, each type having it's own selection of replies, and we could give mobs several personality types to work with?

What about antisocial shop keepers? I.E. Horrace, Butch.

%META:TOPICINFO{author="EmbeR" date="1059531220" format="1.0" version="1.1"}% %META:TOPICPARENT{name="WebHome"}% Yeah, couldn't find a place for this to go so I just made a new topic.

Anyways. I was thinking that we should make a modual or something for monsters to chat with. So if you say "hello Brax". "Brax says: Hello 'player'"

Of course this would work for like birds and such but we should atleast have it for shop keepers and such.
