This is a very awesome project! Really love the tools you have made so far. This has inspired me to make my own River City hack as I've always been a fan of the game. My freetime is rather limited so hopefully I'll be able to finish it one day. I had a couple of questions for you denzquix if you had the time.
1) About the gang dialog found in npc_dialog.txt, specifically lines 58 thru 88. Example -> 86:{name}: "BARF!"
Off the top of your head, do you know if any of these lines are specific to any certain gangs? Or is it that any gang member in any gang will randomly say these any of these lines from 58 thru 88? This is probably something I can playtest and figure for myself, It's just with the random appearance of the gangs in the different areas; it may take a few playthroughs to figure out. I was hoping some would be gang or gang member specific so that I could give them dialog pertaining to them. If you don't know right off, no worries.
2) It looks like some things are commented out of places.txt. Like start_point and exits. Is this something that is not ready in the current build? These features interest me because it would be very cool to change the order of the locations. That seems like it would be a cool way to make the game more "new".
That's about all the questions I have at the moment. Again, thanks for making your Barf! tools. You da man denzquix.
