Valygar Not Showing Up

[noah.linden1]

I can't get Valygar or his goons to show up at his cabin.  I didn't install Unfinished Business...I only installed SRR and a few components from the Tweaks Anthology that I don't think have anything to do with his quest.  What gives?

And you have done the preceding things in the quest ?

[Bartimaeus]

I'm fairly certain that SR does not touch Valygar or his ranger friends. So just to be clear, when you walked up the stone stairs by the mimic cave, there was no ranger confrontation? And then when you went into Valygar's cabin and opened the bedroom door, Valygar was not in there?

That's my weidu.log that I just tested with by jumping to AR1100 (Umar Hills) and seeing everything was correct - what's yours?

@Jarno: I just tested with creating a fresh SoA game and immediately CLUAing to the Umar Hills, and Valygar and his pals are still there, so it should be unnecessary?

I did everything I was supposed to do for his quest.  I will note, however, that I did uninstall a previous copy of the game where I had mods that conflicted.  I wonder if my Mac somehow saved those mods, even though the new copy of the game didn't have any of the characters I had created?  That doesn't make sense, so I don't think that's the case.

In case I missed something I was supposed to do, I spoke to Tolgerias, got Valygar's tax notice and read it...and neither he nor his goons are showing up.

Bizarre. I would suggest creating a new game and typing CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("AR1100") into console (google how to enable if necessary) and then looking around to see if that's the case in a brand new save game. Hard for me to troubleshoot your exact setup.

Sorry, I'm bad with technology and would only screw something like that up.  I suspect my Mac somehow saved all the conflicting data, superimposed it onto my fresh copy of BG2, and fucked up this copy as well.  (It has backup data for everything, and I'm not skilled enough to remove it without creating further problems.)  It's the only way to explain why I'm having even more problems with this new copy of the game.  I guess there's nothing I can do but get a brand new computer, or use EE Keeper, which doesn't seem to work (I can't get it to actually modify any of my save files because it says I haven't chosen the correct destination, or something like that).

Uh...I would suggest just reinstalling your game if necessary - a brand new computer would be super overkill, :P.

Ok

The site's database has this info well at hand. For non-EE games, and for EE games.

If/when you reinstall the game, make a backup of the clean install somewhere. Then, if you want to start over, don't waste tome uninstalling mods (which can sometimes cause problems). Just trash your game folder entirely and restore the clean backup.
