Delin conversation bugged?

[Jhonny]

I'm sorry to bother all of you.
I've talked to everybody in fawn's area(fellowship members included)
I can't inquire delin about batlin.
The dialogue option is missing..
How can i fix this?

[Jhonny]

Oh dont' bother i saw that is a unused dialogue and it has to be set
Sorry

[Knight Captain]

The Cutting Room Floor (https://tcrf.net/Ultima_VII_Part_Two:_S ... _On_Batlin) says that Flag 342 (0x156) has to be set for the conversation option to come up.

It's not listed on the StrategyWiki SI Flag list (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Ultima_VII ... /Flag_List) nor in the si_gflags.uc file in the SIfixes code, but it does work.

Is there a central repository for SI global flags?

[Jhonny]

It's the same site that i mentioned.
So is not flag 156(set or unset wasn working) but 342?
Again thank you my friend

Yes, the flags in the game code and some lists are in hexadecimal, which uses 0-9 and then A-F for 10-15, giving you a base 16 count. So any flags you see with letters or otherwise don't work for you can be converted by:

Using the older Windows Calculator program in Scientific Mode. Set the radio button to Hex, put in the code, and click the radio button for Dec for decimal.

Ask Google: 0x156 to decimal
The 0x is to indicate hexadecimal.

You're welcome Jhonny.

From the other flags in the list, it would seem this should have been set by Jendon. It might have also been part of some lost cut of the Fawn Trial scene, where asking about the accursed Fellowship is brought up.

Otherwise, Delphynia may also be a reasonable NPC to have set it. She does direct the Avatar to Delin if Batlin comes up.

From my flag notes:
339 153 (not-in-usecode) Beta: jendonsaidfellowship
340 154 (not-in-usecode) Beta: jendonsaidgoblins
341 155 Asked_Jendon_About_Gwenno Checked during the Trial scene, jendonsaidlady
342 156 CanAskDelinAboutBatlin "Allows you to ask Delin about Batlin. Never set."
343 157 KnowAboutMoonShade "Asked Jendon about Moonshade. Can then ask Delin about it."
344 158 AskedAboutDaemonArtifacts "Asked Jendon about daemon artifacts. This will now be brought up during the Fawn trial."
345 159 (not-in-usecode) Beta: jendonsaidsailors
346 15A (not-in-usecode) Beta: jendonsaidstorms

Unfortunately, Jendon's original code is 1152 lines long, so reimplementing him to fix this (and perhaps the Breastplate flag bug) would be a lot of work for not much payoff. Delphynia is only 379 lines in comparison.

This code, which I hope makes it into SIfixes, allows you to ask Delin about Batlin if Jendon has told you about the two of them meeting, and then after you ask about the Daemon Artifacts (the next conversation item).

The same concept allows for Edrin to change his response about Siranush once the Dream Realm is completed.

 *  There is a very minor flag, only checked by Edrin, that changes his
 *  response when asked about Siranush. It should have been set once he
 *  sees her for the last time, prior to the Dream Crystal being broken.
 *  This code checks if the Dream Realm has been completed, and if so it
 *  sets flag 531 (0x213). In testing you must ask about his dreams twice
 *  as he checks and sets flag 243 (0xF3) when he first speaks of her.
