    Scripting Problems: Yep, I was wrong. I just whipped out the old statistics text book and you guys caught me. The easiest way to fix that is to do the 1/n, 1/(n-1), ... method. Basically make the top node a 1 in 6 chance. The second node a 1 in 5, the third a one in 4, and so on. If it ever gets to the last node, that one is automatically selected so a script is not necessary. Remember that if you have 4 nodes, the first one will be 1 in 4, if you have 15 nodes, the first will be 1 in 15, then lower by 1 each node down. Also remember that the order will be important so keep that coordinated with the scripts.

    Conversations: To link, you have to do NPC to PC or PC to NPC. Add a PC to the end of your last NPC and link that.

    Root
    --NPC: Hi
    ----PC: Hello
    ------NPC: I will say Hi again.
    --------PC:
    ----------NPC (link) : Hi

    To get [CONTINUE] or [END DIALOGUE] just leave the text blank. When you create a node it has a default text. That has to be removed so there is no text at all. The [???] is added automatically.

    Servers: The button gets greyed out if it can't connect to gamespy. This means that your server could be behind a fire wall, or that the ports are blocked some how. For more information about which ports to unblock, look at this.

    Spontaneously Casting: You can drag the cure spell from your spell book into the quickbar. If you have no cure spells memorized it will have a small "s" visible which means you are spontaneously casting the spell when you use the quickslot.

    Fog:

    Quote: Edit-> Area Properties-> Visual tab-> Customize Environment

    There you can adjust Sun/Moon Fog Amount and Color as well as the Sun/Moon Ambient & Diffuse colors.

    The fog and lighting effects are some of the key ways to completely change the feel of an area. Sound was implemented quite late in the development of the Toolset and so I am just getting used to have full control over sound and it has the same powerful effect as lighting.
