Ogre in Illithid compound in the Underdark doesn't come

[Ishad Nha]

"What exactly is a gemrb specific problem here? It would be cool to have a bug more described and reproducible"

People don't appear when they are supposed to, people summoned by scripts. Gaelan Boyle when you have the 15,000 for instance. This is a rare error.

 

"Use ctrl-x shows area/location."

You need to remind people that output will be on the command line, not the screen as per BG2.

 

"Use ... the same savegame in the original game to confirm the bug is gemrb specific."

That normally leads to a freeze of the original game. In the original game I used the console with a new BG2 party to test the Illithid City. After a fair bit of pacing around the cell the ogre does come. It takes a minute or two of real time.

 

"The ogre doesn't come"

That is the problem, once he comes things work normally.

 

"also 3 of my 6 people remains unconscious."

That went away eventually. You will need to select the entire party and walk them somewhere, in order to get them up and about.

[Avenger]

No, they don't wake up even after 24 hours resting. And of course i tried to walk them.

By the way, if you kill the elder brain, you get the blood automatically.

At least in my version.

Any problems with junk accumulating in your cache? I noticed that problem recently on June 14 version.

[Avenger]

There are 3-4 bugs just when you enter the illithid area.

 

1.

The ogre doesn't come because it becomes idle (its script won't run).

If i teleport a pc near it then teleport it back to the cell, it works.

So, one of the problems is about the idling rules.

 

2.

I also noticed that sometimes the ambush cutscene doesn't teleport all of my PC's in the cell.

 

3.

Also, i see the psionic drain targeting the same PC twice (these actors stay unconscious too), even though the casting target is correct.

 

4.

There is a random encounter trigger which can be triggered the same time as the ambush cutscene. This may affect the original game too?

Sorry I didn't make any reply recently. I'm about to test all your solutions in a few moments.

 

Can I use these codes in console (as cheatcodes) to open the door etc?:

 

GiveItemCreate("MISCBV",Player1,0,0,0) // ~Elder Brain Blood~
DisplayStringHead(Player1,58111) // ~You have killed the master illithid brain. You feel a psychic backlash, a sharp pain that jabs into your mind like a knife. Your vision goes white, then slowly returns to normal. You are certain that all of the doors controlled by the brain are now open.~

OpenDoor("Door08")
SetGlobal("openTheDoor","AR2400",1))

my previous bugs fixed:

1. I fixed the ogre in a recent commit for sure.

2. not sure if i fixed this, but likely.

3. this is not a bug, actually spin802 is applied in two places. 3 of my actors were immune to the 'unconscious' text due to being elf and fixpack messing with spin802.

4. didn't fix this yet.

 

Bonus fix:

5. fixed the knock spell to target doors correctly.

 

More bugs:

1. elder brain drops some items in inaccessible place.

2. illithid serum has 0 count (still usable).
