Find
Code:

Replace all with
Code:

Npc(n).Name = Parse(2)
Npc(n).Say = Parse(3)
Npc(n).PlayerResponse = Parse(4)
Npc(n).NpcResponse = Parse(5)

Npc(n).MAGI = Val(Parse(16))
In Type NpcRec Replace AttackSay with
Code:
Say As String * 200
PlayerResponse As String * 100
NpcResponse As String * 200
Now ClientSide::Replace Sub NpcEditorInit with
Code:
Public Sub NpcEditorInit()
On Error Resume Next
frmNpcEditor.picSprites.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\sprites.bmp")
frmNpcEditor.txtName.Text = Trim(Npc(EditorIndex).Name)
frmNpcEditor.txtSay.Text = Trim(Npc(EditorIndex).Say)
frmNpcEditor.txtPlayerResponse.Text = Trim(Npc(EditorIndex).PlayerResponse)
frmNpcEditor.txtNPCResponse.Text = Trim(Npc(EditorIndex).NpcResponse)
frmNpcEditor.scrlSprite.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).Sprite
frmNpcEditor.txtSpawnSecs.Text = STR(Npc(EditorIndex).SpawnSecs)
frmNpcEditor.cmbBehavior.ListIndex = Npc(EditorIndex).Behavior
frmNpcEditor.scrlRange.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).Range
frmNpcEditor.txtChance.Text = STR(Npc(EditorIndex).DropChance)
frmNpcEditor.scrlNum.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).DropItem
frmNpcEditor.scrlValue.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).DropItemValue
frmNpcEditor.scrlSTR.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).STR
frmNpcEditor.scrlDEF.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).DEF
frmNpcEditor.scrlSPEED.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).SPEED
frmNpcEditor.scrlMAGI.Value = Npc(EditorIndex).MAGI
frmNpcEditor.Show vbModal
End Sub
Public Sub NpcEditorOk()
Npc(EditorIndex).Name = frmNpcEditor.txtName.Text
Npc(EditorIndex).Say = frmNpcEditor.txtSay.Text
Npc(EditorIndex).PlayerResponse = frmNpcEditor.txtPlayerResponse.Text
Npc(EditorIndex).NpcResponse = frmNpcEditor.txtNPCResponse.Text
Npc(EditorIndex).Sprite = frmNpcEditor.scrlSprite.Value
Npc(EditorIndex).SpawnSecs = Val(frmNpcEditor.txtSpawnSecs.Text)
Npc(EditorIndex).Behavior = frmNpcEditor.cmbBehavior.ListIndex
Npc(EditorIndex).Range = frmNpcEditor.scrlRange.Value
Npc(EditorIndex).DropChance = Val(frmNpcEditor.txtChance.Text)
Npc(EditorIndex).DropItem = frmNpcEditor.scrlNum.Value
Npc(EditorIndex).DropItemValue = frmNpcEditor.scrlValue.Value
Npc(EditorIndex).STR = frmNpcEditor.scrlSTR.Value
Npc(EditorIndex).DEF = frmNpcEditor.scrlDEF.Value

Npc(EditorIndex).MAGI = frmNpcEditor.scrlMAGI.Value
Call SendSaveNpc(EditorIndex)
InNpcEditor = False
Unload frmNpcEditor
End Sub
Now setup 2 textboxes, 1 as txtPlayerResponse and the other NPCResponse. Set NPCResponse's multiline = true in properties. Now Rename txtAttackSay with txtSay. Change to multiline = true and then enlargen size of textbox.
Find the sub
Sub CheckAttack(), Above that add
Code:
Sub CheckNPCTalk()
If Trim(MyText) = "" Then
Call SendData("npctalk" & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR)
End If
End Sub
Now Find
Code:
If GetKeyState(VK_RETURN) < 0 Then
Call CheckMapGetItem
below that add
Code:
Call CheckNPCTalk
Now Find
Code:
If KeyState = 1 Then
If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then
Call CheckMapGetItem
Below Add
Code:
Call CheckNPCTalk
Replace Sub SendSaveNpc with
Code:
Sub SendSaveNpc(ByVal NpcNum As Long)
Dim Packet As String
Packet = "SAVENPC" & SEP_CHAR & NpcNum & SEP_CHAR & Trim(Npc(NpcNum).Name) & SEP_CHAR & Trim(Npc(NpcNum).Say) & SEP_CHAR & Trim(Npc(NpcNum).PlayerResponse) & SEP_CHAR & Trim(Npc(NpcNum).NpcResponse) & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Sprite & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).SpawnSecs & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Behavior & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).Range & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).DropChance & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).DropItem & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).DropItemValue & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).STR & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).DEF & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).SPEED & SEP_CHAR & Npc(NpcNum).MAGI & SEP_CHAR & END_CHAR
Call SendData(Packet)
End Sub
Add this to Sub HandleData
Code:
' ::::::::::::::
' :: NPC TALK ::
' ::::::::::::::
If LCase(Parse(0)) = "npctalk" Then
frmChatNPC.Visible = True
frmChatNPC.txtNPCResponse.Visible = False
frmChatNPC.txtNPCSay.Visible = True
'put all the data into the correct area
frmChatNPC.Caption = "Talking With " & Trim(Parse(2))
frmChatNPC.txtNPCSay.Text = Trim(Parse(3))
frmChatNPC.lblPlayerResponse.Caption = Trim(Parse(4))
frmChatNPC.txtNPCResponse.Text = Trim(Parse(5))
frmChatNPC.txtSprite.Text = Trim(Parse(6))
Exit Sub
End If
Create a new form called frmChatNPC and Setup textboxes. Name a textbox txtNPCSay, one txtNPCResponse, and txtSprite(Visible = false). Make the all visible = false. Now create a label called lblPlayerResponse. Create a picturebox called picSpriteLoader (Set AutoRedraw and AutoSize = true) and picNPC(
DO NOT make AutoReDraw and AutoSize = true). Now add a timer and call it tmrNPC and set the interval to 50 Enabled = true. Double click the form and replace everything with
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
picSpriteLoader.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\sprites.bmp")
End Sub
Private Sub lblPlayerResponse_Click()
If txtNPCResponse.Visible = True Then
frmChatNPC.Visible = False
End If
txtNPCSay.Visible = False
txtNPCResponse.Visible = True
lblPlayerResponse.Caption = "Farewell."
End Sub
Private Sub tmrNPC_Timer()
Dim Cap As Integer
Cap = txtSprite.Text
Call TransparentBlt(picNPC.hdc, 0, 0, 32, 64, picSpriteLoader.hdc, 128, Cap * PIC_Y, 32, 64, RGB(0, 0, 0))
End Sub
