In which everyone has really long names...

[AkashaCatBat]

I'm fairly certain that this is a Gavin problem, since it seems to be a problem with characters introduced for his quests and with his dialogue.

 

Here's an example of what I have been getting"

 

 

It seems to me that instead of character names or dialogue, I get bits and pieces of conversations with Gavin. It has affected that lady out in front of the temple and a couple of other Gavin-related characters too.

 

I am running 3.1 Gavin on a totally clean install (I had to wipe everything after a problem with the DeGreenifier mod and Nashkel). I have Baldur's Gate Tutu (converted from BGTOS).

 

Here's my weidu log

I'm not really sure what to do to fix it. I've tried hitting the "k" button, telling every single member of my party that their voice sounds weird, to no avail.

 

Help! I get the feeling I'm missing some good storytelling.

[Jarno Mikkola]

The problem is actually that your save game referrers to wrong dialog.tlk, making the name have wrong string as targets. So you either need to start a new game and get them corrected that way, or reinstall every mod in the exact order as they were in the previous game when you saved, bad idea. Or you possibly could rearrange the by editing the save game some how making the strings right, but that's really hard.

 

Make note to never un/install content adding mods in the middle of game, or you will have to start a new game.

Recently Uninstalled: ~GAVIN/GAVIN.TP2~ #0 #3 // Gavin: Check for Tutu-Fix Walking Speeds: v3.1

[berelinde]

Jarno's more or less right.

 

Here's what happens.

 

You install the game and play a bit. You save the game. The saved game contains the line numbers for all the dialogue. You reinstall the game, but you install the mods in a different order. You load your saved game, but the dialogue line numbers now point to different lines. You get really strange names for NPCs.

 

Please note that this can also happen in multiplayer mode where the client computer does not have exactly the same installation as the host computer.

 

So, in order to use an old saved game, you have to use exactly the same installation as your previous one. Sorry.

[AkashaCatBat]

Bleh. I was afraid of that.

 

My computer has not been nice to me this month. It crashed completely at the beginning of the month and I lost everything because the hard drive was completely shot. Now I'm down to half the GB I'm used to. Megaupload won't work, my monitor was being weird up until a few days ago, and now this.

 

Thanks for the help. I'll go start a new game then.

[berelinde]

That should work out fine. New games will use the new dialogue refs. Sorry to hear about your computer!
