Problem with Kagain's Quest

[meat axe]

Hey, first off I'll just say that this mod is awesome. It really adds to the bg1 playing experience, since interactions was one of my favourite things in bg2.

 

But now to the problem at hand. I am having some problems. I'm trying to finish Kagain's quest, but when i go to talk to Lady Silvershield, I get no option to give her Eddard's fibula thing. Is it possible that some variable didn't get activated? The guards downstairs still get the relevant dialogue option, so I'm thinking that might not be the case. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers.

[cmorgan]

Sorry, not sure how I missed this... sorry for the slow response.

 

is the fibula in a container, or is it in party inventory? I will take a look, and may just move this darned thing to variable settings instead of PartyHasItem, as there seems to be some trouble with it firing. The relevant code is:

[berelinde]

I hope you're coming back to this.

 

Are you waiting for the scantily clad assistant with the envelope?

 

"And the relevant code is..."

Hmmm... this is from the workroom. I will check at home and make sure everything is ok. There should have been an "automatic response" if the party has the fibula. If the guards respoded appropriately, and Brilla didn't, then there is probably some miscoding or a typo somewhere. I will check tonight for anything really obvious, and put it on the list for full revisit this weekend right after Jastey's Coran check.

OK, I don't see what is holding up the works... if the House Guard sees you and passes you on with the thing, then you should be good to go, since the same call starts the CHAIN. It literally should hijack the whole discussion and send Brilla away without further ado. Unless some other interjection has also hijacked the thing.

 

I do see a problem with the Escape Area, though: _BRILLA.cre has dialogue set as _BRILLA, and race script set as _BRILLA, but no DV. That means we have to patch her before she will actually leave the area. Otherwise, you could talk to her again and get another conversation. Her override script is one I am not familiar with (_EAVECH7), so I will have to investigate this weekend.

 

Could you please send me a save so I can try it out and see what is up? svowles at comcast dot net.

[Gorilym]

Her override script is one I am not familiar with (_EAVECH7), so I will have to investigate this weekend.

 

I believe that script is used for all the NPCs that shouldn't be around for Chapter 7, which makes good sense for Brilla.

[cmorgan]

Hey, I am patching in Brilla's DV (both Tutu and BGT) right now - does anyone have a savegame/install where they can replicate this bug, to make sure we have isolated the option? You may even be able to CLUAConsole your party w/item into the place and test, I just need to make sure that Beta3 code actually is skipping this (or if somehow this is happening on the second time round on conversation). On my install, the thing works but she doesn't leave (because we don't assign the DV). Unfortunately, my install is a testbed one with changes, so I need someone to confirm it on plain BGT or (preferably) Tutu Beta3

[cmorgan]

I may have found a dificulty here... or I may not have. We may need to look at the interactions between the various I_C_Ts and this dialogue. Perhaps some of our own code is hijacking the EXTEND_BOTTOM state? I think this one is fine, but I am not sure. It looks like you can't have both this and the Kagain Quest response. Unless we do a quick recode.

Can someone indicate if they have seen this while Coran is in the party and Kagain's Quest has been completed?

[Wormwood]

I had Coran in the party when first trying to complete Kagain's quest, and when initiating dialogue with Brilla got the Coran dialogue. After that Brilla left the room, and I didn't find her anywhere again. I reloaded and went to second floor without Coran, but didn't get the Kagain's quest dialogue this time either.

[cmorgan]

ok, rechecking code!

[Guest Guest]

hmmm, I've got the same problem...

 

when i get to talk with lady brilla sivershield, i don't get a dialogue option to tell her about her step-son, and i have the fibula.

 

funny thing is that the guard downstairs let me pass if I tell I have news about eddard silvershild, and show him the fibbula.

 

had this been solved yet?

Do you have Coran in the party? If so, Kagain's quest is unsolvable.

yes... I'll try to go back there without him

[Darth Slaughter]

I've just tried... went to brilla without coran...

 

the problem was still there... wasn't solved.
