IWD

[alx3apps]

Sad, immortal trolls made IWD non completable for me. Maybe someone can point, how can I hack scripts/data files to completely disable trolls special abilities to make this dungeon completable?

You can ctrl-y them a few times.

[alx3apps]

M, sounds interesting, never thought of cheats in IE games before.

Tried it, but unfortunately it didn't work. After ctrl-y many times troll becomes "Almost dead" and stays in that state continueing to attack. Got this in desktop logs:

Any chance for another workaround?

Also googled this http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?f...amp;atid=110122 , but no workaround there.

edit: add ctrl-m info

[lynx]

yeah, you'd have to repeat the kill within a small delay (the death script needs to remove that item that makes them invulnerable). It was a cludgy way to make them only killable with fire/acid. I currently don't have iwd handy to test though.

Have had no luck with current version's Ctrl-Y.

Was forced to hack Ctrl-Y action to make it work on trolls (used old code for this):

Is this issue also in BG* ?

[lynx]

Nope, you can kill trolls in bg2 just fine.

[alx3apps]

Almost all trolls in IWD are normal an can be killed by fire/acid. But there some groups (I found two) of immortal ones I had problems with.
