Viewing initial SoA cutscene

[joehicks3]

I would like to have my character view the SoA initial cutscene. I made the character a few years ago, so I dont remember if I watched it then or delayed it. But I have since run the following from a GM account.
!delmission 12 0 Mycharname
!mission 12 0 Mycharname - delete mission, clear vars, add mission

I cant seem to get the cutscene to trigger again. Also if I use !cs or !cs2 from the GM account is there a way to make the cutscene show on my other character?

Lastly can anyone help me with the cutsceneid for the initial SoA cutscene? and what is the best way to find cutscene ids if I want to locate them? typically I can look through the mission lua files, but I dont know if there is a list of them somewhere I can locate?

A couple of separate things are going on here.

!delmission / !addmission do not reset mission status. Those commands also print that they do not clear or update mission variables. For SoA M1-1, the optional starter-city intro scenes are controlled by bits in the SoA mission status, so deleting and re-adding mission 12 0 can still leave those "seen" bits set.

For the character you want to reset, also clear the SoA mission status:

!setmissionstatus Mycharname 0 12

Then make sure the character is actually on SoA mission 12 0 and zone into the relevant area.

The current event IDs I see in the SoA M1-1 script are:

Lower Jeuno / Darcia mission event: 10117
Northern San d'Oria zone-in intro: 878
Bastok Markets zone-in intro: 22
Windurst Woods zone-in intro: 839

There is one more gate: if NEW_CHARACTER_CUTSCENE is enabled and HQuest[newCharacterCS]notSeen is still 1, SoA M1-1 intentionally waits until the new-character intro is out of the way.

For !cs and !cs2, there is no target argument in the current commands. They call startEvent(...) / startEventString(...) on the player running the command, so using them from your GM account will show the scene to the GM account. To show it on the other character, run it from that character/session or add a target-aware GM helper.

For finding cutscene IDs, the quickest source path is usually:

scripts/missions/soa/*.lua
scripts/zones/<zone>/npcs/*.lua
scripts/zones/<zone>/Zone.lua

Search for progressEvent, startEvent, onZoneIn, and the NPC/zone name. For this specific one, scripts/missions/soa/1_1_Rumors_from_the_West.lua is the file to start with.

Awesome, thank you! I was just missing the setmissionstatus piece. All good now!

As for the list of cutscene ids, yes I usually look through the luas for the missions and stuff and see the progress event calls. It was more just random question like how do the devs who are writing the mission luas know where to find the cutscene ids that they want to call. Is that just .dat reading? or is it in one of the sql tables somehwere. I havent been able to locate it.
