- Line 101: The keyword registrations in data-otservbr-global/npc/baxter.lua
lines 101-101 and data-otservbr-global/npc/donald_mcronald.lua lines 71-71 use
overly short substring matches. In the Baxter NPC’s keywordHandler:addKeyword
entry, replace or remove “our”; likewise replace or remove “here” in Donald
McRonald’s corresponding keyword entry to prevent unrelated input from
triggering responses.
In `@data-otservbr-global/npc/rotem_valos.lua`:
- Around line 82-86: The map-state topics registered with StdModule.say in Rotem
Valos’s keyword handler must be removed and routed through dedicated map-work
logic instead. Update the handlers for “list”, “lost”, and “map” to validate the
player’s map progress, granting or replacing the map only when appropriate;
leave non-state dialogue such as “work” and “job” unchanged.

… map-state answers) - baxter.lua: "our", donald_mcronald.lua: "here" — both fire inside "your"/"there"/"where" because checkMessage uses plain string.find. Both were aliases of "job", so no response becomes unreachable. - rotem_valos.lua: "list", "lost", "map" — all three assert map-work state that StdModule.say cannot verify. Fixed in the generator, not by hand: both are classes, and the whole batch was regenerated.

If the remaining Thais NPC changes follow the same pattern as this PR, I think it would be better to add them directly here instead of opening additional PRs. This work is mostly repetitive and additive dialogue data, with no complex logic that would make a larger review significantly harder. Splitting it into multiple PRs adds unnecessary maintenance overhead, fragments the history, and requires separate CI/review cycles for changes that belong to the same scope. If parts 2 and 3 use the same approach and validation, consolidating the remaining NPCs into this PR would keep the change easier to track and maintain. |

Description
Most Thais NPCs answer only a small part of the dialogue they answer on the official
server. This PR restores the missing flavour keywords for 11 more of them, taken
from real transcripts, as a purely additive diff.
This is the third batch of the effort described in #4076 (Carlin was #4077, Thais
part 1 was #4082 — both merged). Thais is split in three PRs — this is part 2 of 3,
the next 11 NPCs by missing dialogue.
NPCs in this PR: Walter The Guard, Wyat, Trimegis, Miles The Guard, Baxter,
Albinius, Marvik, Robin, Sam, Donald McRonald, Rotem Valos.
Every entry is a
keywordHandler:addKeyword(...)appended beforenpcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new(), ...). No existing line is modified orremoved —
+409 / −0.Behaviour
Actual: talking to these NPCs about topics the real NPC answers gets you their
default "I don't understand" reply. The Thais castle guards, whose entire purpose is
pointing newcomers around, answer nothing about the shops, the guilds or the army;
Wyat, the sheriff, cannot even tell you about the TBI.
Expected: they answer as they do on the official server.
Samples to spot-check against TibiaWiki:
donald_mcronald.luatimeWho cares?wyat.luatbiThe Tibian Bureau of Investigation. If you want to know more, ask Chester Kahs about it, but I doubt you'll get any vital information.baxter.luabattlegroupThere are the Dogs of War, the Red Guards, and the Silver Guards.trimegis.luacourtmageThe last courtmage was killed by Ferumbras in one of his attacks.robin.luaelaneA master, or better mistress, of the bow. But with her big feet she just chases all game away.Walter The Guard and Miles The Guard share most of their lines verbatim — that is how
the official castle guards behave, so the duplication is intentional. Typos and odd
punctuation in the responses are intentional too: they are what the official NPCs say
(
a malovent god, Albinius;lacks the understandig, Marvik), so they are reproducedverbatim rather than corrected.
What was deliberately left out
The generator that produces these blocks is conservative on purpose — a static
StdModule.saycannot depend on player state, so anything that would turn into a lieor a dead end is dropped rather than guessed:
the
creatureSayCallback(npc_handler.lua), so it would swallow the message and stopthe script's flow. Albinius is the clearest case here: his script runs the imbuement
tome trade, so
death,earthandenergyare excluded.the player already holds a permission (
I guess Ivalisse gave you the permission to pass this portal..., Albinius) — said unconditionally, they lie to everyone who doesnot.
glue a topic and its confirmation into one keyword (
spider yes, Donald McRonald).Nobody types that phrase, and the response belongs to a stateful flow this PR does not
create, so they are dropped.
Do you have any with you?— Donald McRonald'soffer to buy dead spiders) — the
yeswould go nowhere. Rhetorical questions are kept.yes,no, …), which would hijack every topic.server (
Take this!). The mild triggers (idiot,lunatic,stupid,tyrant,scum) are included, so the line is preserved; the explicit words are not, on purpose.Verified with a checker that re-reads the patched tree and fails if any added keyword
shadows a phrase the script handles: 0 problems on these 11 files. Lua syntax checked
under LuaJIT (5.1) on all 11.
Source of the dialogue
Same as #4077 and #4082: the wording comes from publicly available transcripts of the
official NPCs. No third-party file is copied — only the dialogue itself, which is
CipSoft content this datapack already replicates.
