help with NPC chat

[sunhear]

i am on where the couer went quest and have gotten to barros's taver and need to give him a detal to get information. i know it aout the cloke she wore and the dagger. but i cant seem to get the phrasing right so can have some hellp with it.

[Rigwyn]

Right click on the NPC and you will see a list things that you can say.
Click the choice that you want from the list.

Easy squeezy

i do but when it wants me to enter the answer and try to say something like the 'she had a black cloak'  several times even rephrasing it and all i get is 'are you sure' and 'could you clarify" can some help what it can except seems the program for it can't recognize my answer.

[Rigwyn]

Sorry, I left out a step.
You should not need to type anything in. ( Except for a few rare cases )

1. Right click the npc
2. Click on the MOUTH icon ( looks like lips )

You will see a list of things that you can say.

3. Click on one of these lines.

You do not get this menu with a list of things to say then the quest may be broken.

Sorry Rig. i belive the is one of them 

[lilura]

for the few quests that you do have to type something in you follow the steps that rig described first (there should be a <enter text> option)  and when typing it in the simplest phrasing is usually the best

three questions

dose extra words through it off?

and dose it need to be a complete phrase?

dose it do simanions such as dark to black?

[bilbous]

It ought to be some combination of the exact words used in the quest dialogs. Spelling things correctly is very important. Look over your log files and see what you were told.

[sunhear]

how do i get to the log?

[bilbous]

it will be in the PlaneShift\logs\  subdirectory in windows you should be able to find it by putting %APPDATA% in the location bar of the file manager. in linux it will be in a hidden directory .PlaneShift/logs/ in your home, note that the period is part of that name and not a typo.

Not sure where you'd find it on a mac.

 Hi

will i know if i am geting close and how do i know when i get it right?

[Sarva]

On the Mac you find the chat logs at

user/library/application support/planeshift/logs

[Shoraal]

I know which quest you mean, I had the same issue...

following hints (not spoilers, just helping along, as you did it right so far):
1. Brado might want to hear a different detail (where you got the cloak info, some other feature was described as well);
2. if that fails to work as well, there is another NPC in Oja that can actually tell you more anyways. Just try your luck...
