My Amber issues

[Guest D. U. Bertie]

Hey, thanks for the response!

 

Amber bracelet quest

She didn't comment on receiving her bracelet, no. I didn't play beyond that because I was just trying out some mods and not really playing properly. I'd thought that maybe you hadn't tested the party not having enough money to buy the braclet when talking to the black market thief for the first time. It's probably just due to my mod install order (same goes for the little girl remaining) which is admittedly somewhat random. When I do play the mod properly, I'll be sure to install it in the correct place. Still, I thought I should mention it to you because I imagine a journal entry that's never removed would be quite annoying.

 

"Illegal Magic"

Honestly, that thought hadn't occured to me. Problem is, without your explanation I'd be none the wiser, and assume that I'd missed something or it was a mistake in the mod. How do I know that Nick knows Amber can magically blind people? And at that point in the game, Amber hadn't blinded anyone during her time with the party. Maybe you could just make a simple change so that Nick says something like "And I should have this little redhead of yours put away for being a deviant. She used her powers to blind someone/she blinded someone with her powers, and as you well ought to know, illegal magic is frowned upon in this city".

 

City Guard Protection

When I saw the two almost identical responses and had picked one, I automatically assumed that you'd forced the player to say this because you had a voiced line that said "You protect me?". I thought to myself that if you'd been able to record another Amber response, you wouldn't have two almost identical choices i.e. it seemed to me like you were forcing the player to say something just so they could hear your recorded line.

 

If you do want to have two "You should join the party"-type responses, I'd personally rather have one that didn't end in "...and I could protect you from the city guard", even if Amber's response to that wasn't voiced. Honestly, and I don't want to sound like I'm just being stupid and picky, but I very much like your mod and thought that two almost identical responses jumped out as being silly. Why does Amber's only reason for joining the party have to be protection from the city guard? Is there no other reason she may want to join? Maybe charname thinks she may just like to travel with the group or something. More possible and varied responses would be really nice.

 

Oh, and I'm still working through those Amber voice files for you, but it could be another week (more ).

[Guest D. U. Bertie]

Damn, I always forget something when I reply to a thread.

 

Did I read about some issue with Amber automatically equipping items and potentially destroying what she's already equipped with? If so, when is this likely to happen (so I can try to avoid it) and is there any way to alter the mod (perhaps for a future release) so it doesn't happen?

The journal entry is removed when she thanks you or after she returns to the party in case she goes to seek the bracelet herself.

 

"Illegal Magic"

Honestly, that thought hadn't occurred to me. Problem is, without your explanation I'd be none the wiser, and assume that I'd missed something or it was a mistake in the mod. How do I know that Nick knows Amber can magically blind people?

 

The guard in the prison mentions the blinding during the "Demon in Athkatla" -quest. Even if you miss it, you can assume that Nick knows more than your character. Perhaps there's more than meets the eye in the redhead girl you requited?

 

And at that point in the game, Amber hadn't blinded anyone during her time with the party. Maybe you could just make a simple change so that Nick says something like "And I should have this little redhead of yours put away for being a deviant. She used her powers to blind someone/she blinded someone with her powers, and as you well ought to know, illegal magic is frowned upon in this city".

 

I'm going to have to say no. I dislike when things are over explained. I'm afraid that there is quite lot left to between the lines in this mod. If you don't care for innuendo this mod might not bee right for you, but I recommend that you give Amber a chance. Her story unravels eventually.

 

City Guard Protection

When I saw the two almost identical responses and had picked one, I automatically assumed that you'd forced the player to say this because you had a voiced line that said "You protect me?". I thought to myself that if you'd been able to record another Amber response, you wouldn't have two almost identical choices i.e. it seemed to me like you were forcing the player to say something just so they could hear your recorded line.

 

It's true that I try to make most of the recorded lines because they increase the mod's download size and required intense work to acquire in the first place. At this moment I can't get new lines voiced.

 

If you do want to have two "You should join the party"-type responses, I'd personally rather have one that didn't end in "...and I could protect you from the city guard", even if Amber's response to that wasn't voiced. Honestly, and I don't want to sound like I'm just being stupid and picky, but I very much like your mod and thought that two almost identical responses jumped out as being silly.

Maybe charname thinks she may just like to travel with the group or something. More possible and varied responses would be really nice.

 

One problem in a character with Amber's personality is that - initially - her motivation to join the Protagonist's party is next to nothing. She isn't really a team player and she doesn't trust strangers. Furthermore, even though the PC suggests it, it's unlikely that Amber joins the party because she thinks she needs the PC to protect her. More likely something about the PC picks her interest; curiosity is a driving force in her.

[Meira]

Damn, I always forget something when I reply to a thread.

 

Did I read about some issue with Amber automatically equipping items and potentially destroying what she's already equipped with? If so, when is this likely to happen (so I can try to avoid it) and is there any way to alter the mod (perhaps for a future release) so it doesn't happen?

 

IIRC the bracelet can destroy another pair of gauntlet type item. I believe it's impossible to empty an specific item slot before creating a new item to it. Unless you make a list of every individual bracer item that exists in the game to your script and in this care it doens't really seem like worthwhile practise. If you buy the bracelet off the blackmarket thief you're bound to have a quicksave nearby and if she goes to find the bracelet by herself, your character can assume that she sold the bracers you gave her. She's a thief after all!

 

Other than the bracelet there is no such issue in the mod. Or at least I'm not aware of that. Or I don't remember being. Where did you read about this?

[Guest D. U. Bertie]

Amber bracelet quest

How soon after you buy the bracelet for her does she thank you? I'd assumed it would've been straight away (afterall she's just equipped the thing) but I guess I didn't wait long enough.

 

"Illegal Magic"

I don't personally think the addition of 7-8 words would make things "over explained", but if you do then I suppose that's that. Does my character at least have a chance to question Nick or Amber about this "illegal magic"? If charname (me) isn't clear on what Nick means by this, wouldn't they (I) bother to ask? I suppose I just don't like the fact that it wasn't clear to me what he meant, and the only person I can ask about it is the author of the mod.

 

City Guard Protection

If it's unlikely that Amber joins the party because she thinks she needs the PC to protect her, why can't the PC make her a different offer to join, other than just city guard protection?

 

Amber's Destructive Bracelet

Why instead not simply put it in Amber's/the PC's inventory once you've bought it, rather than in the gauntlet slot? And it must've been just the bracelet I read about when it came to item destruction. I did try to find the topic so I could be more specific, but couldn't.

 

Anyway, thanks a lot for the replies, but I feel like I'm just repeating myself now and am starting to waste your time, so I'll leave it there.

She should thank you and the journal be updated instantly after the bracelet quest is finished. So there was definitely something odd going on if nothing happened.

 

City Guard Protection

If it's unlikely that Amber joins the party because she thinks she needs the PC to protect her, why can't the PC make her a different offer to join, other than just city guard protection?

 

The PC has no way of knowing that it's unlikely. But, yes there could be more reply options, there always could be.

I suppose I just don't like the fact that it wasn't clear to me what he meant, and the only person I can ask about it is the author of the mod.

 

It's true that you can't ask about that specific incident, but there are several talks later (both PC and Amber initiated) that touch the subjects like the nature tieflings and Amber's innate magic. Amber's story takes time to unravel, everything isn't given at once and even by the end of SoA the PC won't know every detail.

 

Amber's Destructive Bracelet

Why instead not simply put it in Amber's/the PC's inventory once you've bought it, rather than in the gauntlet slot? And it must've been just the bracelet I read about when it came to item destruction. I did try to find the topic so I could be more specific, but couldn't.

 

I didn't want the item to be moveable. She's very attached to it, even against her better judgement.

[Tarayani]

I'm also having game crashing issues with the kidnapping quest -- every time I try to go into the house it auto-saves, starts to load, and then crashes. I have a save just before entering the house and just before following the map for the first time, and starting from either of them causes the crash.

[Meira]

Have you re-installed the mod between your games? Or done anything that might lead to the .tis files missing from the override folder?

[Tarayani]

Nope. I did reinstall all mods *since* I started having problems though, because I thought I might have forgotten to install the patch or something, but the problem remains the same as before. What .tis files should I check for in the override folder/might I be able to copy over manually?

[Meira]

Nope. I did reinstall all mods *since* I started having problems though, because I thought I might have forgotten to install the patch or something, but the problem remains the same as before. What .tis files should I check for in the override folder/might I be able to copy over manually?

You should have 6 .tis files with m# prefix (from m#ar01.tis to m#ar06.tis) in your override. If you don't have these in your override when Amber is installed, then most likely something has gone wrong with the unpacking of these files during the install process.

 

When installing a mod you should be cautious of any error messages displayed on the install screen. If the unpack.exe fails to execute and does not unpack the area graphic, sound or music files (any or all) you will see error messages at the end of install process, before you hit enter to close the window.

 

I have no idea why the unpack.exe could fail. It has never failed on my numerous installs. Neither it does fail on most of the users. There does not seem to be any patter on the operating systems or virus programs (which, I suppose, could block an unknown exe from executing). Most users with this issue seem to have got around it by installing the mod again until the get it to install correctly.

[Tarayani]

I have all six .tis files in the override folder, but the game is still crashing on entering Ymmyrt's house. Starting from before entering the custom area (with the battle with Lorraine) doesn't help.

[Meira]

I'm sorry, I misread your initial post. I thought that your game crashed when you tried to enter the first new area. If the first area loads normally you're not missing the tilesets (.tis files).

 

Can you post your weidu log?

Does the game crash on the load screen or do you get a glimpse of the area before it crashes?

Are you sure you are using the latest version of the mod (version 2.5)?

[Tarayani]

Yup, it's 2.5. And the game crashes in the middle of loading - I don't see a glimpse of the area first.

I don't think that this component works with Amber. If removing this component solves the issue, please let me know. (Assuming that you decide to keep Amber over this component.) I haven had time to look into this problem, I but I hope I eventually will. It's kind of embarrassing that Amber won't work with all SCS components.

[Tarayani]

It works now! Thanks a lot.
