Cool.

blech! even that's not working! it just does NOT want to do anything on the garthan homeworld. I changed them to neutral in their race file to match the centauri, and all landing on gartha does is the default actions for a race encounter (hostile=fight, neutral=choose, friendly=trade).

i'm starting to run out of walls to bang my head up against

Attach the file and I will take the time to review it.

seems like i was having a problem w. 'endquest' stalling things from happening. got it fixed now, though i occassionally get the non-homeworld event popup twice in a row; but i can live with that

Look at your Condition 4:
CONDITION 4
TYPE notfriendly
STR0 garthanian
END CONDITION

Change the STR0 to garthan, instead of garthanian.
Everything else looks fine.

Make sure it doesn't conflict with the 'home_gar.ini' file.

luckily nothing's using condition4. i thought perhaps the garthans had some hard-coded stuff that was interfering with my pages (turns out it was just me), so i changed all the garthan stuff to garthanian; then converted it back.

I suspect your problem is actually with the mantle_gar quest. During the preenc stage, mantle_gar checks, Page 1 sees that you don't have babulon's mantle, and it makes the garthans your enemy.

The fix is to alter mantle_gar so that once the Garthans think you're Babulon, they'll always be your friend. Takes a bit of their personality away, but it solves your issue.

By the way, the non-homeworld quest occurring twice is probably because the game checks your quest and makes them friendly, then checks the mantle and makes them enemies, then for some reason checks your quest again.

That's my 2 cents.
