The Battalion

Does the game say the Rikti fought the Battalion 1000 or 100 years ago? I thought it was 100.--GreyDog 11:28, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

I don't have the screenshot handy at the moment, but when I get home I'll double-check that.--Eabrace 12:16, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
100 it is. I hit the '0' one too many times.  :) --Eabrace 22:04, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

In-Game Errors

In mission #5 (Fight back Rikti attacks), the boss's name is "Ga'Emmon" in the objectives, but "Ga'Emnon" on the mob. --Eabrace 22:00, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Chatterbox

I'm sure Fusionette's picture is next to the definition of the word in the dictionary. . . --Eabrace 19:03, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

Notes

C'Kelkah (Chief Mentalist?)

This Rikti dignitary seems quite open-minded. From what you've heard, she's been instrumental in the peace talks.


General Aarons

Though General Aarons retired shortly after the Rikti War, he has since become a presence in the world community, negotiating cease-fires and peace treaties all around the world.

Uses pistol in both melee and at range.

Ah, General Z and C'Kelkah have reappeared. :D - Snorii 10:21, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Aha! I knew those two seemed familiar. Good catch. --Eabrace 10:28, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

Dialogue vs. Briefing

I've been distinguishing between plain 'ol dialogue and briefings this way:

  • Dialogue - shows up as text in your chat box and is not part of a cutscene
  • Briefing - shows in a separate window and is accessed either by clicking directly on a character/contact or calling them through the Contacts Window

For Dialogue, I've been noting the text like so:

NPC: I say important and/or witty things.

For Briefings, I've been using the briefing template.

That being said, I'm not usually one to revert anything anyone else changes, but the Conference Attendee dialogue shows in my chat box and I've never been able to get them to say their lines by clicking on them, so I changed that back from a briefing to regular dialogue. --Eabrace 01:38, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

Faultline Contact Link (Fixed)

Clicking on Faultline's name below his picture takes you to the Zone's page, not the guy's (in the Conference Security part). Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix it. Replacing the contact's name with something "Faultline (Ally)" results in a broken picture. Felderburg 15:58, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Nice work Eabrace! Felderburg 16:48, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Was going to post a note here to let you know I made the change, but apparently only hit preview and didn't realize until just now that I didn't submit it.
I added a parameter to the Briefing template (ContactLink) to allow the link to be overridden. --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 17:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
