RestCheck For Mod Scenes (Coding to make your mod's rest scenes yield to those from all other mods.)

If all you want is coding to make your Mod's rest scenes yield to all the dream and rest scenes in Baldur's Gate 2: EE then you want this thread here.

The thread you're currently reading is about making your mod's rest scenes compatible with those of all other mods, and it's a bit more complicated. The normal restcheck in the link above can be downloaded and used by anyone without worry and without affecting anyone else's mod. You don't even have to change the prefix.

However, once the rest scenes in mods start yielding to each other you need to have a priority list or you might have Mod A with a rest scene that yields to all the rest scenes in Mod B, and Mod B with a rest scene that yields to all the rest scenes in Mod A, and then nothing triggers because everything is waiting for the other scene to happen.

So what I've done is created a priority list. My mod's restcheck coding yields to that of every other mod. The next person who wants the coding will get coding that yields to all other mods except mine. The third person will get coding that yields to all other mods except the first two, and so forth. That way you never have two mods both yielding to each other. In addition this coding must use the prefixes for the mod that it's a part of (instead of one prefix for everyone) because otherwise the coding from one mod will affect the other one if both are installed. I'll add your prefix before I send it to you.

Rest Check for Mod Scenes List so far:
1) All Mods by BCaesar (prefix _b). My mods' rest scenes will always yield to everyone else's.
2) No one yet. Post or PM me if you want the coding.

Currently the Rest-Check-For-Mod-Scenes coding I have makes your mod scenes yield to the scenes in the following mods:
Friendships/Banters: Mazzy Friendship, Viconia Friendship, the IEP Banter Project (as of March 25th, 2017)
NPC Romances: De'Arnise Romance, Edwin Romance, Haer'Dalis Romance, Imoen Romance, Keldorn Romance, Sarevok Romance, and the Yoshimo Romance.

I plan to continue adding to it over time until it has coding for yielding to the rest scenes from every mod. If you want the coding for your mod I also request that you send me a copy of the rest scene script files from your mod so I can add them to the restcheck coding for my mods (so my mod's rest scenes will yield to yours as well).

If you have Rest Check for Mod Scenes and I do update it with coding to yield to the rest scenes in more mods I will send you the updated coding as well for your mod. However, if you don't add it to your mod it won't be an issue, since all it's doing is making your mod's scenes yield to those of more other mods.

And if your mod is on the above list, don't worry. I can give you coding that will still work (I'll just remove the coding for your mod from the coding I send you so your mod doesn't yield to itself).

Thank you.

Also for my convenience here's the link to the same thread in the Spellhold forum.
