Enhanced Relationship Instructions - TIO Version
The same complete relationship engine, packaged for worlds running the TIO intents system. WHAT IT DOES Identical engine to the standalone release: seven bond depths from sworn enemy to devoted companion, prices that scale with depth, cheap gestures that fade as bonds deepen, harm that outweighs help, catastrophic betrayals that turn love into enmity, earned defining moments that can vault a bond in a single scene, witnessed acts and rumors, promises and debts, jealousy, fear versus real affection, and rails against every known way to cheese a relationship score. WHY A SEPARATE EDITION TIO already teaches characters to act their relationship stage: the dial is built into the TIO intents instructions and expects this ladder. So this edition ships the engine and the ladder, and adds nothing to the intents task: installing the standalone edition on a TIO world would double the dial. WHAT IT ADDS, AND WHERE - The 15-stage relationship ladder, Nemesis to Devoted, that TIO's dial reads. - NPC Updates instructions (generateNPCUpdates): 4 sections, about 13,600 characters of the 24,000 budget. Your world needs roughly 13,600 characters free in this task. - NPC Intents instructions: nothing. REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALL ORDER - The TIO intents system installed. - Install this mod BEFORE defining any relationship stages of your own: the world must have no custom relationshipStages when this applies (stage lists combine on merge). If you installed the ladder by hand already, do not apply this mod. - If you rename the ladder's stages, rename them in TIO's dial map as well: the dial lists stage names literally. - Roughly 13,600 characters free in the NPC Updates task.
