Breaks the avian priest's portrait. (I forget his name)

After a few days testing my codes.I find that it is the "behavior" that determine whether npcs display their chatPortrait in chatbubble.
For example,npc will show the portrait by the code:

/spawnnpc human tutorial 1 1 '{"scriptConfig" : {"behavior" : "tutorial","chatPortrait" : "/interface/chatbubbles/grandprotector.png:talk.<frame>"}}

whereas won't show the portrait by the code:

/spawnnpc human tutorial 1 1 '{"scriptConfig" : {"behavior" : "villager","chatPortrait" : "/interface/chatbubbles/grandprotector.png:talk.<frame>"}}

The only difference is behavior.I found that behavior of "tutorial" and "base" allow npcs display their chatPortrait and others don't allow. Nuru,Baron,Koichi and Lana do not show their chatPortrait in outpost because their behavior turned into ""villager" in outpost rather than "base" in their mission.
I hope that will be helpful.

@1941302614: Can you post a link to the whole .npctype file, by putting it on pastebin? I may be able to pinpoint the problem.

Why the NPCs I spawned with codes" "scriptConfig" : {
"chatPortrait" : "/interface/chatbubbles/<portrait>.png:<frame>"} " do not display portraits when they talking please?Is this related to the code "behavior'?
I found that it is the npcs who have chatPortrait inherent in game,such as Koichi and Baron, that can code and display their chatPortrait. Other npcs,without chatPortrait in the intact game,will not have chatPortrait even though I code their chatPortrait.
Looking forward your receive,thank you very much!

ok much reasons to like dis, gud work meng!

Oh, and obviously, it only works if the NPC you're talking to actually has a portrait, so a custom NPC programmed with this mod in mind. It won't work with Starbound's standard NPCs!

It only modifies dialog.lua, so it's incompatible with anything else that alters dialog.lua. I don't know any mods that do that, so your guess is as good as mine.

this doesn't seem to work for me. any incompatible mods you know of?

Tenant responds: Is... this something other than a hole in the ground? ;)

(Couldn't help meself, sorry!)

The inkling race mod affects diolog for florans

@warmainiac: What do you mean? Is there an incompatibility there? Because I'm not giving NPCs from other mods portraits. It's very tedious and their respective creators can do it themselves.

could you make this compatable with OTHER race mods plz?

Yay. I Cant wait. F*CKING MAKE THEM RIGHT NOW

She's part of my Gem race mod, or at least she will be, once I've polished the tenant feature.

Get it? Polished?

(PS: Lapis will be available as a tenant too)

I Want that Tenant. How do i get it

Regarding the generated portrait, I don't think that'd be feasible... If it is, it's far above my modding skill.
The NPC name? Not sure, I might look into it.

Also... Would it be possible to also show the npc's name?

I wonder if it would be difficult to make a mod that creates a NPC portrait the first time one talks with a NPC based on their character traits (race, gender, skin colour, hair style, hair colour, attitude, head gear...)

classic peridot

Peridot's an upcoming feature of my race mod ;) Be patient, and she'll land soon enough.

give me the peridot

how did u get peridot?

Finally, a way to explain those ruddy muddy clods always giving seeds and dirt as "Payment" for Rent....

clods

Sounds cool, now all we need is a portrait of each race and their individual NPC types and we'd have a much more awesome starbound. There would be 5 portraits of each race in the end, not including unique NPCs native to specific biomes or tied to furniture sets. That's 40 portraits minimum... hmm... that's a hell of alot for Chucklefish... guess this will remain a modder's resource you made... and used for mods... still... this is AWESOME!

Upcoming feature of my race mod ;)
