Switching of the Override Script on an NPC between SOA and TOB?

[Domi]

Heh, folks, here is me, rusty as hells, trying to do some BG2 troubleshooting

 

Basically, what happens that a ToB game with the reported bug doesn't recognise the switch between the SoA Override Script and the ToB Override script on Kivan (I placed a test block and it triggers in that game only when placed on the SoA override script).

 

I created a new ToB game and 'cheated' Kivan in via CreateCreature, and that happened as well. But all my old saves in ToB, where Kivan was presumably transferred from SoA work of his ToB Override script just fine.

 

My pdialogue assignment is standard, or was standard 3 years ago or so...

 

//The following is some 2DA appending for Kivan

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~

~P#KIVAN P#KIVP P#KIVJ P#KIVD~

UNLESS ~P#KIVAN~

UNLESS ~25POST~

 

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~

~P#KIVAN P#KIVP P#KIVJ P#KIVD P#KI25P P#KI25J P#KI25D P#KI25~

UNLESS ~P#KIVAN~

IF ~25POST~

 

So, how do I fix it?

You could always stick this in his SoA override, just to be safe.

 

IF

InParty(Myself)

Global("P#ToBSwitch","GLOBAL",0)

AreaCheck("AR4000") //stone heads

THEN

RESPONSE #100

ChangeAIScript("P#Kiv25","OVERRIDE") //ToB override script

SetGlobal("P#ToBSwitch","GLOBAL",1)

END

 

Keep in mind that you can set the 2da for ToB even on an SoA only game. I use

 

/* 2da appending */

//2da appending for dialogues

APPEND ~interdia.2da~ ~b!haldamir bb!hal bb!hal25~

UNLESS ~b!haldamir~

 

APPEND ~pdialog.2da~ ~b!haldamir b!halp b!halj b!hald b!hal25p b!hal25j b!hal25d b!hal25s~

UNLESS ~b!haldamir~
