I have scanned back through multiple pages of posts, but have not seen any ask the question of 'Is there an estimated return date for NPC dialog?' I am unable to accomplish several tasks and it is slightly more than annoying. I am unable to receive healing from my medic, I am unable to gain XP by 'training' with my brawlers, I am unable to purchase items at shops to name a few.
If there is a way to accomplish these tasks still, please clue me in. If not, when may we start to look for the return of NPC dialog so that we may accomplish these tasks again?
The lack of scripts are annoying. Newbies can't rent vehicles and buy basic items. You can't use the NPC Shuttle service either, that is a bumber. I think is was mentioned in the Sim News, but I can't remember....Why were the origenal scripts removed?
I also have anothers question, It might be a little off topic but I thought I might ask. What is with this SoonTM?
The scripts were removed because they are implementing a new system for NPC scripts that would allow custom NPCs to be used effectively as well as allow for greater options in the future.
Well, as Clarr said, the actions should be available from the Actions menu for now. I'm working on re-writing all the scripts for the NPCs at the moment, so once I'm done with that and the coders have re-inserted the code for the special effects (brawling, pickpockets etc) they will be brought back.
