V2(Beta) Call for beta-testers

[Domi]

Heya, I am looking for a few people to give a quick spin to V2 of the IWD2NPC before it goes public. Life has been hectic of late, so I hope I integrated all the corrections, but if not - I need to know. Obviously, there is the new stuff too. Anyway, the issues I want looked at are:

 

-You have conflict banters with Jaemal, Rizdaer, Nord and Salomeya.

-Tree-talk happens.

-If you agree to marry etc Diriel at the tree - the romance continues; if not - stops.

-You do not get the 'pre Tree talks' after the Tree.

-Flirts and PIDs work normally.

 

 

First Lines for Diriel's romance (cut to avoid too too many spoilers):

 

Chapter 1:

 

LT1: You cause a peculiar anomaly in my perceptions, <CHARNAME>.

LT2: Our lives are minute... etc

 

Chapter 2:

 

LT3: <CHARNAME>, will you consent to join me... etc

LT4: I overlooked this part of the world... etc

 

Chapter 3:

 

LT5: I wish to inquire your opinion... etc

LT6: I registered a number... etc

 

Chapter 4:

 

LT7: I wish to express... etc

LT8: I have come to the conclusion that... etc

 

Chapter 5 (post Tree):

 

LT9 = The Tree

 

LT10: I would like you to clarify... etc

LT11: You appear to be... etc

LT12: (He plays... etc //At waking

 

Chapter 6:

 

LT13: I believe... etc

I for one would love to help thrash the bugs out of this. For whatever reason, my e-mail is being stupid and won't let me register here, but my e-mail address is thebassistsgirlfriend @ yahoo.com . I do have some small amount of coding experience so I may be able to help track down any bugs should they arise . . . and then I guess my only other qualifier would be that I just found this module last week, I think it's fantastic, and I really would like to help you get the rest of it out there. Not the most awe-inspiring list of references, but hey! I'd love to help (and love to love Diriel) if you'd let me.

[Domi]

Thank you for volounteering, I've sent the info to your e-mail. The bugs can be reported on the forum, just add spoilers tag. I will alert Cam to you having problems with registering, it's handy to have an account sometimes

So far so good. Just a couple small things.

 

Valeero's portrait didn't show up when I started up the party, and if you don't do the love talks for chapters 1 and 2 before enterig chapter 3, the romance ends, or at least the force talk options don't come up any more.

 

Now if you'll excuse me...

 

*swoons over Diriel*

ok, I have the same thing: when I didn't get the lt for diriel, the romance ended. Another thing: The game got really slow, I'm trying to figure out if it's because of the mod or the laptop.

[Domi]

The mod will cause the slowdowns of the game on the less powerful machines, because it has to run off one huge script.

 

I'll see if I can fix the conditions so the options will still show up in Chapter 3, but yeah, I am making check there for the romance being set to 1. I think it shouldn't break the main romance though. Try sleeping a few times to get the next talks and let me know if it fixes the problem

[Guest Jali]

Teeny-tiny little bug. I haven't gotten as far as the others yet because I've been running around a lot this week, but for whatever reason on Diriel's second talk in chapter 1, Sir Nord said the lines instead of Diriel. Caused me no end of confusion -- frightened confusion. I had to reload anyway, so I forced the dialogue again, and this time it all went fine. Must have been me. Playing some more tonight, and it's looking really good. If I find anything else, I'll let you know, but so far everything's looking pretty neatly put together.

[Guest Guest]

Hmmm... not so much a bug, but the Diriel Initiated Flirts trigger... rarely. I got three up until chapter five. Which makes me sad. So you might wanna increase how often they trigger.

 

Gods... I love that man. He is a brick wall right behind you ^_^ Ad the flirt with him carving the wooden toys... He may be evil, but MAN! He is going to be a good and loving father ^_^

[Silver]

The game crashed for me today. I'm still confused to what happened - no message no nothing, it simply crashed and exited game. I'll try to swap the saves into my PC when I get home, because there's a probability it's just this laptop (though as far as memory is concerned it's better than PC...)

 

other than that - Domi, you're a god, I'm loving it so far.

Oh, before I forget, at LT 3, are there any interjections? I had Rizdaer, Nord, Prachi, Diriel, Jaemal and myself it the party and nothing showed up.

[wayfareangel]

That was me before, forgot to log on.

 

And something horrible happened! I went to tickle Diriel, and the game crashed to the desktop! *cries* WHY?! WHY, CRUEL FATE?! WHY?!?!?!

 

...

 

 

Happens every time I click Tickle Diriel.

[Domi]

-The early flirts have 50% probability for triggering, so you are just having a bit of an unlucky stretch.

 

I am looking into the triggers for the interjections in LT1-LT3, there should be interjections. Did the additional banter trigger (mainly Jaemal in that party?)

 

Here is a quick fix for the tickling woes:

 

Upload this file:

 

http://www.members.shaw.ca/gorion/P%23PID.D

 

into your

 

Program Files\Black Isle\Icewind Dale II\IWD2NPC\d3

 

and re-run the IWD2NPC.exe and let me know if Diriel responds to tickling in less drammatic way.

[Silver]

in lovetalks or overally? Jemal's lovetalks work properly, he just didn't speak when Diriel's lovetalks took place.

[Domi]

I meant separate banters between Diriel and Jaemal that deal with the romantic tensions. Are they coming up?

[Silver]

I think one of those did. To be sure I started again:

 

I tried re-starting and I got to chapter one, now the bump-ins from others show up.

The game got very slow lately, so I'll continue on on my PC at home!

[Domi]

Heh, I suppose one more reason to try to recreate the game in NWN2, these slow-downs. Anyways, thank you for letting me know.

 

Also, ladies, could anyone tell me if the 'NPC X is falling in love with you' had ben fixed, or are they still the Jaemal robe descriptions kind?
