Speaking with the old guy at the village easier.(question)

[Dudro]

I was wondering if anybody could tell me, or direct me to a guide on how to put an option in the village menus to speak directly to the elder.
I'd really appreciate help so please do.

I believe somebody posted code for this a while ago since I integrated it in my mod.  Unfortunately, I don't remember who to give credit to, but if you add the blue text below into module_game_menus.py I think this should work.

       ,"Manage this village.",
       [
           (assign, "$g_next_menu", "mnu_village"),
           (jump_to_menu, "mnu_center_manage"),
        ]),

#SW - Talk to village elder START     
      ("village_elder_talk",[(neg|party_slot_eq, "$current_town", slot_village_state, svs_looted),
                         (neg|party_slot_eq, "$current_town", slot_village_state, svs_being_raided),
                         (neg|party_slot_ge, "$current_town", slot_village_infested_by_bandits, 1),]
       ,"Speak with the Village Elder.",
       [
         (try_begin),
           (call_script, "script_cf_enter_center_location_bandit_check"),

Anyways, thanks for that Hokie, and whoever it was that wrote that code in the first place. I think I'll be borrowing that for my mod as well. And I think I could find this thread a spot in my little guide, too.

Joy!

Thanks a bunch HOKIEBT
