[Mod] All Things Mazzy, v: 1.027. Parts playable (but still in progress)

Hello all. Ratatoskr and I are working on an expansion mod for Mazzy which includes various conversations with NPC's, and will also include a romance. There will be some friendship talks as well, but not a huge number since we're assuming if you want a chatty Mazzy you already have the Mazzy Friendship Mod.

We made the decision to try to release the mod in parts rather than try to write and edit everything and then code it both because at the beginning of this I knew nothing about coding (so I wanted to space it out to help my learning process) and because this way if something happens and we stop making the mod we'll actually have part of it finished (instead of it ending up in the mod graveyard with so many others). And if we ever disappear for more than a year this is up for grabs. Take it and run with it. Also if you want to use any part of this mod in another mod the answer is probably yes, just ask us.

Completed so far:
- Mazzy now correctly attacks you if your reputation gets too low (it was coded but seemed to be bugged).
- Other characters now choose sides (or stay out of it) if Mazzy and Player 1 fight. Every character should talk, so if one doesn't (and it's in BG2:EE) then it's a bug.
- Mazzy comments and/or reacts during the conversation with Lady Delcia Cain in Nalia's keep.
- Restcheck: coding to prevent the rest scenes in this mod from triggering on the same rest as those in game or in any other mod and for 2 minutes of real time after (give me a few days and I'll modify restcheck and post it in a thread so any modder can add it to their mod to do the same thing for them).
- Two in-game conversations with Korgan were moved, 1 longer one and a shorter one have been added.
The first conversation takes place after 4 days with them in your party, the 2nd 6 days after that, the 3rd when you rest in an inn, and the 4th when they're both in your party and able to talk again.


Known bugs that I don't know how to fix:
Mazzy and Player 1 fighting:
Cernd and Jan go neutral during the fight and the little circles around them start pulsing with four little triangles. When they come back this stays and I don't know how to turn it off.


Partial to do list:
- Add one conversation with Mazzy and Jan
- Add four with/about Edwin and Mazzy
- Add two more with Korgan and Mazzy
- Add some friendship/romance conversations and make modifications to the Mazzy Friendship Mod that will show if both are installed (so the mods match).

Installation and Compatibility
This mod should be generally compatible with all other mods. We've worked hard to make it like that. In addition we have tried (and will continue to try) to make it fully compatible with BG2:EE and the following mods (meaning that our rest scenes don't trigger the same rest as their rest scenes, and we use their triggers sometimes for additional dialogues, for example Imoen might react differently in a reaction if she's in love with Player 1): Mazzy Friendship, Viconia Friendship, the IEP Banter Project (as of March 25th, 2017), Haer'Dalis Romance, Sarevok Romance, Imoen Romance, and the Yoshimo Romance.

After you install the mod it will ask you if you want to install the restcheck tool. There's no reason to install this other than to test the mod. I use it to test to make sure the coding that prevents our mod's rest scenes from triggering with other rest scenes is working.

Like all mods if you want to install a later version of this mod you should uninstall the old one, delete the folder, and then put in the folder containing the later version of All Things Mazzy.

This thread is primarily for questions, bug-reporting, and for telling us that we're horrible people who have ruined Baldur's Gate II and thus your life.

Thank you.
