I noticed I've been encountering more and more NPCs with " in their names such as "Anemone" Tadesha.

When running createpath.lua and pressing keypad 4 or 5 it creates waypoint entries that wont work. For instance;

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC(""Anemone" Tadesha");
player:merchant(""Anemone" Tadesha");

I've been changing them manually like so;

Code: Select all

player:target_NPC('"Anemone" Tadesha');
player:merchant('"Anemone" Tadesha');

but it would be good if createpath.lua used ' by default. I can't see any downside, off the top of my head.

You just need to change lines 29 and 30 of createpath.lua to;

Code: Select all

p_merchant_command = "player:merchant(\'%s\');";
p_targetNPC_command = "player:target_NPC(\'%s\');";

Thank you.

There's a better solution. Edit rom/createpath.lua. Find this:

Code: Select all

				hf_line = hf_line .. "\t\t" .. sprintf(p_merchant_command, v.npc_name) .. "\n";

Change to:

Code: Select all

				hf_line = hf_line .. "\t\t" .. sprintf(p_merchant_command, string.gsub(v.npc_name, "\"", "\\\"")) .. "\n";

You'll have to make that change for both merchant and NPC.

So I take it you'll change it in the next update?

Test it for me and make sure it's working properly. If it does, I'll include it.

Just tested it. It works fine. Thank you.
