[Repaired] 2 Problems / bugs

[Guest Fennek]

I noticed two things: The Imoen in Candlekeep still has her Bg1-portrait even if one installs the component that she gets her Bg2-portrait. When one meets her outside, everything is correct. So I guess one .cre was forgotten.

 

I also got a minor problem with Kagain. I went with him to the attacked wagon where one should look for Entar Silvershild's son, killed the bandits and Kagain started his dialoge that he now would be some sort of outcast. At the end one had to choose "no vaild replies" to finish the dialogue (after one accepted him in the party). So nothing really problematic happend, but either an answer-text was forgotten or there's a glitch in the code.

For Kagain, i think it is a glitch that sometimes appears with this block, which is supposed to give a certain amount of gold per person:

END

 

I think this might need to be set up on NumInParty() checks instead, as this particular implementation seems to flake out on some installs/in some settings.

 

a recode for v19, this summer -

 

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN X#KAQUREWARDParty
 SAY @45
 IF ~NumInParty(6)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(75) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
 IF ~NumInParty(5)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(60) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
 IF ~NumInParty(4)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(45) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
 IF ~NumInParty(3)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(30) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
 IF ~NumInParty(2)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(15) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
 IF ~NumInParty(1)~ THEN DO ~EraseJournalEntry(@33) EraseJournalEntry(@44) GiveGoldForce(15) JoinParty()~ JOURNAL @35 EXIT
END

 

The Imoen portrait may be another mod - but there is more robust code that will make sure all of her incarnations are picked up with a declared set of files submitted already, so i will triple check before release.

 

Thanks for reporting these!

The Kagain-problem (no valid replies) seems still to exist (if it doesn't come from Unfinished Business).

For installed UB in a clean Tutu game, I don't see a NVROL problem in _kagaij.dlg, so I don't think it's UB:

I am pretty sure it is the use of the bg1npc (my) logic grid

 

InParty(Player1) InParty(Player2) InParty(Player3) InParty(Player4) InParty(Player5) InParty(Player6)

 

only rotating the NOT condition. It looks logical to just have the subtraction of players work like this:

 

InParty(Player1) InParty(Player2) InParty(Player3) InParty(Player4) InParty(Player5) InParty(Player6)

InParty(Player1) InParty(Player2) InParty(Player3) InParty(Player4) InParty(Player5) !InParty(Player6)

InParty(Player1) InParty(Player2) InParty(Player3) InParty(Player4) !InParty(Player5) !InParty(Player6)

InParty(Player1) InParty(Player2) InParty(Player3) !InParty(Player4) !InParty(Player5) !InParty(Player6)

etc, ...

 

until you remember that partyslot and the designation of player (object) might not be quite so straightforward. I thought you could only have Player1 + Player2 + Player3, but from playing around with this, it seems that sometimes you can have Player1 + Player3 + Player4. I am still researching, as that really does not make any sense to me, but for whatever reason using this grid seems to allow a NVROL. The easy way out is to just use NumInParty, and then ask the Gurus why

 

IP1 IP2 IP3 IP4 IP5 IP6

IP1 IP2 IP3 IP4 IP5 -IP6

IP1 IP2 IP3 IP4 -IP5 -IP6

IP1 IP2 IP3 -IP4 -IP5 -IP6

IP1 IP2 -IP3 -IP4 -IP5 -IP6

IP1 -IP2 -IP3 -IP4 -IP5 -IP6

 

doesn't work as expected.

What if Player2 is in the party but dead at the moment?

 

Shouldn't you be using InPartyAllowDead?

[cmorgan]

Good point - and one I can correct immediately. But the NVROL that I replicated had PC + 4 NPCs, all alive, kicking, and unhampered by anything. Which sure puzzles the heck out of me.

[jastey]

The easiest explanation would be once player 2(3..6) always player2(3..6)? Meaning, if Player2 gets kicked out, there would be no player2, until a new NPC (or the old one) joins the party. If I recall correctly from a multiplayer game I once played with self-created NPCs, they remained at the same slot for the whole game (which drove me kind of crazy since I wanted them to march in a different order so I had to switch it manually after every loading in the game).

confirmed repaired in v19 09.17.2011

 

using NumInParty() instead of the grid.
