Problem with Valinor


Guest Chris

Recommended Posts

Guest Chris

Okay, so Auren's just been approached by Valinor and Arianna after coming out of the Windspear Hills dungeon. Valinor says that he's been searching for her for months and has something to discuss with her. And then...nothing. The dialogue just ends and he stands there (well, and Reviane appears, but I can't see why that could be causing problems). Trying to talk to him or Arianna just elicits a "Goodnight ladies, ladies goodnight". What the...? I can tell them to rejoin the party (even though they were never in it to start with, and their lack of portraits makes it clear that they aren't ever meant to be) or to go away. This is my first time through the mod, so I don't know what they're actually supposed to say, but this can't be right.

 

Here's my WeiDU log, though I'm not sure which of these mods, if any, could be causing a problem.

Any help would be appreciated - apart from this problem I've really enjoyed the mod so far. Unlike most mod NPCs (with a few exceptions), she seems to fit into the game pretty seamlessly, although the one thing that does jar a bit is her habit of replying to some characters (I recall Firkraag, and I think there were others) just before you do, making it look like you're responding to her. Maybe giving the characters in question another line between Auren and Charname's responses would sound better?

I ran into this problem, too, then reloaded a pre-travel autosave. The encounter was triggered when I entered the Temple District from outside Athkatla (IIRC) and I encountered this problem even after reloading twice and repeating my steps. The actual dialogue code looked fine when I glanced at it, but I didn't do a full-fledged exam. Finally, I tried going to a different area and the full talk ran smoothly. If possible, that's what I'd try as a workaround.

 

The only mods I had installed in common with the above other than Auren when I observed this behavior were Ascension, Song and Silence and UB.

Ive run through that dlg code hundreds of times and it didnt really matter where I was when the talk started, sometimes the talk just wouldnt work. Reloading or CLUAing to another area always worked for me...though it did take a number of times sometimes.

Okay, my only idea on this is that Valinor might be talking before Arianna (the next speaker) has spawned. I imagine if your party is close to the edge of the screen, the moment Valinor appears he'll immediately speak but Arianna might not have spawned yet. However, if you're further away from the edge, there's the delay when Valinor walks towards Auren and obviously in that time Arianna will have spawned and everything will be fine.

 

So my suggestion is taking the following block in K#Valin.baf

 

IF
Global("ValinorAriannaTalk","GLOBAL",0) 
See("K#Auren")
InParty("K#Auren")
THEN
RESPONSE #100
Dialogue("K#Auren")
END

 

And adding an extra check to make sure that Arianna has also spawned. This could be Exists("K#Arianna") (if that's her death variable) or See("K#Arianna"). The later would be if you want to make sure that both of them are close enough (to make it slightly more realistic). Though Exists might be a slightly more solid fix, if I'm right that is.

 

However, theacefes might want to test this first.

I don't think that's it - when I ran into the problem, both Valinor and Arianna had spawned well before the dialogue started (and subsequently aborted).

That's very odd. The only reason the second line wouldn't show is if for some reason the next speaker is unable to speak. However, given that they won't have any odd effects on them (because they're just spawned) the only reason I can think of for why they can't speak is that they don't actually exist yet.

Well, it turns out I had a save left over just before I ran into this, so I tested it a few more times, and Arianna always spawns before dialogue starts, so that can't be the problem. As far as I can tell, the times it doesn't work are those when Arianna reaches you (and stops walking) before Valinor gets to you and initiates dialogue, whereas if Valinor gets there first and Arianna is still on her way then it works properly. It appears that for some reason the game thinks she's unable to speak if she's stopped. I don't know anything about coding, so I can't really tell why this might happen, but it does seem fairly odd.

Link to comment
Yeah, that seems to have worked - I CLUA'd into another area and the encounter ran properly. Thanks.

 

First off I would thank like to thank you for emailing me the link for this site. <redneck_1st> I really appreciate it.

 

Now I'll admit that we met up with Valinor and Arianna in the Docks area we were in a battle fighting some Cowled wizards<chickens> :( Now it was mentioned the conversation about them trying to get her to work for them as a mercenery< I think this is what it was it's been a bit since that came up> Now when she told him "NO" he mentioned that she owed him. Also he mentioned that she would see him again. Or something along these lines.

 

Now since than I've been through everything including the underdark and haven't seen hide nor hair of them. All I've got left to do is the Druids grove and the three areas that are added after you emerge from the underdark. Not to mention that I've still got the keep if I decided to do that before I kick ole Irenicuses tail for the last time.

 

Also did you tweak the Druid grove with this mod? That are now has some more things added like shambling mounds and a Golem I think it was earth.

 

Not to mention that the one you challange the first time is a reall butt kicker. Having a hell of a time with her and I've got 9th lvl spells.<G>

 

Wonder if I might have a mod conflict going on here some where Cause like I said not seen that pair and theres not been much chatting to show that Auren and Natalie have a relationship going on.

 

Hope you can understand this and give me some help. Any questions just ask.

Auren and Nalia's banters should kick in every couples of game days. Make sure you don't rush through the game because otherwise you won't get to see the completion of the SoA Romance.

 

As for right now, the only encounter in the mod is what you experienced with Valinor and Arianna. There are plans to bring them back in ToB.

 

I didn't do any tweaking with the Grove, so I'm no sure why you are seeing new creatures unless you have another mod installed that put them there or they were there to begin with.

 

Thanks for your interest in the mod though. It's good to see that people are playing it.

 

If you really want to see more of the relationship talks, try resting a lot to make time pass.

Well now will have to admit that I've got over a 100 game days racked up so far. So I don't believe that I'm playing it to fast to be honest with you there. Sleep on a regular basis on account of re-memorizing spells.

Don't have a cleric in the party never felt a need for one to be honest with you there. Especially with so many healing potions in the game.

 

Now not many talks in regards to Auren. And just a small handful of love talks. One I do love is when Auren calls Bodhi an "Ugly Bitch" in the graveyard area after the underdark. :p

 

Guess it might have been another mod I added that modified the druid grove. That things going to go it's a real bitch to do now. :( Especially when all you've got is a normal staff and she immune to everything including most spells

 

Will have to admit that so far the mod is pretty good and would love to see you expand more on it as well as for the love talks between Nalia and Auren.

I have nothing more constructive to offer than the possibility of a conflict with Reviane as to who should be doing the talking.

Are you sure you haven't installed Tactics' Tougher Druid Grove?

Grim asked me to take a peek at this. Both Valinor and Arianna have dplayer3.bcs assigned--presumably they were made from character files in a multi-player game? :blush: The problem is that dplayer3.bcs contains this gem:

 

IF
!InParty(Myself)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
	Dialogue(Player1)
	ChangeAIScript("",DEFAULT)
	SetDialog("multig")
END

 

Arianna, not being a party member, is having her dialogue file swapped for multig, leaving Valinor without a valid link after his first state. Valinor has valid blocks that always return true above this, never giving it a chance to fire before his dialogue. Arianna has true blocks until she reaches Player1, consistent with the observed behavior. Unassigning the dplayer3 script for both Valinor and Arianna should eliminate the issue.
