lightside way to leave vrook in the cave

[rocky348]

Ok, the mod i started on now deals with rescuing Master vrook from the cave on dantooine. I never liked the way he gives you crap for rescuinng him when you're lightsided. So, I modified the dialog with the merc captain, so that i can trick her into letting me near the cage so he can leave. (note: you dont actually see him leave, but when you go back to talk to the administrator, he is there with her) Problem i am having, is that the journal acts as if i picked the darkside option of leaving him in the cave. I turned off all the scripts used by this portion of the dialog, but it still adds the entry. This tells me that it is being triggered in the "604DAN_s.rim" file. How do i fix this so that the journal entry doesn't get added?

Mod note: Moved to Holowan labs since it's a modding question and not a modding request. ~M

Ok, i figured it out. What im going to do is modify the dialog.tlk to add a journal entry that says i tricked the mercinary captain into freeing master vrook. More details when i do it and get it to work

ciao for now

You don't need to modify the dialog.tlk file in order to add new quests or quest stages to the journal. Those are set in global.jrl using standard ExoLocString fields, meaning you can just add the text directly to the global.jrl file instead.
