Repair Faction Database

[cptscrimshaw]

Is there a way to repair the Faction Database? Somehow the factionIDs aren't matching up with the names. It looks right in the inspector, but when I call something like

Code: Select all

.GetComponent<FactionMember>().faction

it is returning another NPCs faction instead of the one that's shown in the faction manager on that NPC.

I've noticed this happens after saving the game many times... there shouldn't be anything that'd changing the faction ids/names in the saving/loading process, right?

Hi,

Are you using a PersistentFactionMember or FactionMemberSaver to save faction member data in saved games?

If you're using PersistentFactionMember, please update to the latest Love/Hate version and import the included Dialogue System Support package. (If you can't update, let me know and I'll post a patch.)

If you're using FactionMemberSaver, make sure the Key is a unique value.

Thanks Tony!

I updated to the current version (I am using the PersistentFactionMember class) and will let you know if I run into any weird id/name reassigning.

I'm getting this error on a couple of my NPCs that have a FactionMember class. They appear to be set up the same as all the others.

Code: Select all

Any thoughts on what to check?

Is this from an old save, or from a saved game made after updating and importing the Dialogue System Support package? This will help determine if the problem is with the old saved game or with the new PersistentFactionMember component.

I forgot to apply the Dialogue System Support package Everything seems to be ok now. Thanks!
