FE-style support conversations #73

Open cooljeanius opened 1 year ago

cooljeanius commented 1 year ago

The fact that this campaign has the large-scale "strategic map" scenarios where you can talk with other characters gives me the idea that this might be the perfect place to try out implementing my idea for FE-style support conversations in Wesnoth. Basically, it would involve adding some support points variables that get incremented whenever two of your heroes fight next to one another, and then when you go to your camp to talk to them (in S13, S18, & S20), if you've built up enough support points with that character, you'd get a new dialogue option with them to have a "support conversation" that would increase their overall support level. The thing that would make these different from the existing conversations you can have with characters at your camp would be the conditionality of them: being able to know how emotionally "close" characters are to one another would allow us to make additional assumptions in the dialogue as to how the characters should interact.

Actually you know what, never mind; the characters talk to each other enough already, and I don't want to create much more extra work for the translators than I've already created...

I've had some new ideas in this direction, so I'm reopening

So, question: When should support conversations be available? During all 3 exploration scenarios (Scouting, Start of the Quest, and Okladia), or just one of them?

...I'm just going to make the decision to limit them to S13, "Scouting", for now, to simplify the macro usage that'll be necessary.

there's some more progress in PR #171

Although, in that, @nemaara said she wanted to rewrite some of them, so, reminder to come back to that...
