Maeson Trueshot bugged?

[Dibalamin]

1: Ally
2: Warmly
3: Kindly
4: Amiably
5: Indifferent
6: Scowls
7: threatenly
8: Dubious
9: Apprehensive

$faction > 4 would require kindly or better to do the quest
$faction => 4 would require amiably or better (most quests take this)
$faction =>5 would require indiff or better

If you are using the other faction levels for a quest, you'd be better off not requring a check.

No, it seems that the operator for the quest was set incorrectly as I showed. Pulling an example from Loremaster Zorik's quest file in Thurgadin:

 if ($faction <= 3) { # Require warmly and greater faction

I wasn't arguing the way that the scale goes (ally factions low, KOS high), but rather the placement of dubious and apprehensive at the high end of the spectrum, as well as scowling and threatening being interchanged. Regardless of those issues, all that was making this quest file incorrect was the fact that it was checking for faction greater than indifferent (4), so it wanted you to be worse off than indifferent.

I'd still like to know about those faction levels =) Those really don't seem correct, but I can't check out the code for myself to know.

Yes, it seems incomprehensible that someone would set the described order with good concious. If the scale is really set as described there must be some historic reason for it.

You got it backwards,

> 4 means 5,6,7...
=> 4 means 4,5,6...
=> 5 means 5,6,7...
