Can you have identically named dialogs if they exist in different files? That is, can Keldorn, Imoen, and Korgan all have a dialog called "MRDialog" in their respective banter files or does it have to have a unique name in each script?
Thanks.

Identical dialogue file names in different folders is fine. You just can't traify it.
Must. Write. Faster.

Uh, I've read the question as whetherwill work or not - which will.
Correction - you can't autotraify it. You'd have to --traify# and then load it manually before compiling (or put into master tra).
keldorn.d said:
BEGIN mrdialog
imoen.d said:
APPEND mrdialog END

Actually, Ardanis, you might have interpreted the question correctly. I thought she was talking about mod packaging file structure. Because Keldorn, Imoen, etc. already have banter files identified by INTERDIA.2da, and while it is possible to call dialogue from a non-2da file using StartDialogue(), that would be a bit of a nuissance. The answer is still yes, but it would get messy.
Must. Write. Faster.

Heh. At first glance, I interpreted the question as state rather than dialog, so I saw
Keldorn's dialog file :
IF ~condition~ THEN BEGIN MRDialog
Mazzy's dialog file :
IF ~condition~ THEN BEGIN MRDialog
etc. - in which case, I'm pretty sure the answer is no - the statenames need to be different, as weidu loads 'em all up and compares them.
Serves me right for skimming the question too fast!
