Repeat last statement

[Da_Kaos_Child]

Would be nice (espcially when the server goes down after getting quest info)

If you could implement a NPC feature
say the chat command "repeat last response"

so we could get the quest info again for the last step we started with them.

You can find your entire chat with an NPC in your logs.

If the server crashes before they're done speaking, I don't think you can, can you?

ok for everyone else on windows

Documents and Settings / User Name / application data / planeshift / logs / charactername.txt

What he's saying is, if you're in a quest where the NPC says 3 things as separate dialog entries before requiring player input, and you crash after the 1st one and miss the 2nd two, you're effectively boned

[Mythryndel]

To my understanding, the only thing you can do from there is either:

1. /petition a GM
2. PM a GM on the forums (usually Rizin IIRC)
3. Find a GM on irc

There is no automated process for getting this back right now that I am aware of. However, certain NPCs (as long as I have not received an item or already been dismissed by them for whatever reason) allow me to use the same key phrase to get them to start over. I usually have to do this when I get frustrated with them, get attacked by a rogue, then have to go back to talking to the NPC. So, for instance, "Jayose sent me." being the key phrase, if I say it again in the middle of their rambling speech on clacker reproduction or whatever, should start it over if I haven't already received the book on clacker lifecycle.

We are working on updated old quests to avoid these long dialog issues like this before data is recorded. If something like this happens come find me on IRC or leave a petition for me in game and I can take a look and either get the quest fixed if it's quick or get the character fixed if it's quicker.

Personally, I think this is a great idea.  I'll see what I can do to convince Settings about it.

Back to the topic:

@Vengeance, I think that's a great idea. Perhaps every quest step could have a fixed trigger saying "repeat last statement", even when engaged separately. The only issue I see is with a player talking to an NPC which is involved in two or more different quests. So basically, which "repeat last statement" will he answer to?

 When new system for quests is in game, do not think this sort of thing will be much of a problem, as when window opens a option can be added to repeat. [[Suggest new window opens on choosing this option, you then add quest name]].

Does this count as a spoiler?
