Default Re: Self replication

Are you still working on this?

Of the 5 glitches you mentioned:

1-3) No clue what's causing those.

4) I'm really not sure, but it may be that a page can't lead directly back to itself. Have you tried making page 9 say WISH -1 8? That might work, and should still retain the functionality you were looking for.

5) Pretty certain you can do this with user variables. Have your first quest set to event, the second to always. On the first one, include a user variable via the SVAR command. On the second quest you include a CONDITION that requires a particular setting of that variable in order for anything to happen. Just make sure that something in your mod (either of those two quests, or a late-game entry in the GAME_BRASS etc files) sets it back to the default starting variable (otherwise you could often end up with items in the second quest triggering because you'd met their requirements in a previous game). I have something very similar in a mod I'm working on now, and it seems to work fine.
