Which version did you play? Because this should be fixed in 0.2.19.

In case you encounter the line again or can reproduce it, let me know!

 

Which version did you play the new beginnings romance with? Did you have the wrong Douglas encounter after the Underdark? (Sorry if you wrote this already somewhere, here is still hope this bug is fixed..)

Thank you for the kind words!

 

Ankhesenpaaten: was it:

@152 = ~I am sure you will do the right thing, Lady <CHARNAME>. There is no way such a wonderful person could ever be wrong (ahem).~

 

That is supposed to be a flirt.

Thank you for the kind words and the report!

The recognition of killing Firkraag should be separated from saving Garren's child. I will have a look agan. Do you might have a save game still, from before you speak to the prelate?

 

The "his" is corrected. Thank you!

All I can offer right now is an update:

 

Version is being updated to beta 0.2.19.

 

-various bugfixes

-German version editings

-all guides and readmes are now in a folder called "documentation"

-Thieving for Mae'Var from a temple can now solved differently. Just go and talk to the relevant highest priest/ess

-the spell Detect Invisibility now has an actual effect if thrown at the right place to find the invisible quest item.

-new portrait choice from Senka: Have a look at the portrait here.

 

I haven't forgotten about the other suggestions: rearranging the installer, morning after dialogues and reactions to the Zcar quest will be addressed in a later version.

Thank you!

Right now, both romances should run simultaneously, yes. As far as I know, Edwin is not included in the CBP, so unless the mod gets updated it will stay so.

Thank you, Leomar.

Also, Ajantis and Edwin romances should play both, since Ajantis mod doesn't check for any other romances (will be covered by Crossmod Banter Pack once I applied for it), and Ajantis is too new to be included in the Edwin romance, I guess.

Ankhesenpaaten: I am glad I could make you laugh, that's a good thing, I think.

I heard that some version of the Edwin romance overwrites Edwin's script file, so order of installation is important. All Ajantis mod does to Edwin is add some banters, nothing else, so I wouldn't know it's the culprit for your problems.

 

Eleima, Ankhesenpaaten: Thank you for reporting this, it was a mixed "or" that allowed the dialogue to fire during day no matter where. Fixed locally.

What Domi said. And, in a former version, Ajantis was speaking up in front of Adalon, having a great monolog.. which didn't fit to game flow. At all. So now he is more complaining about it to the PC, which also fits, I think. She is a Silver Lady, after all.

Red illusion, who is evil. But Silver is LG! As Ajantis... And she ask for help. If he cannot see the difference he is really fanatic

Fanatic, in a way, yes. I understood paladins in (A)D&D to be like that: Always march in through the front door, never sneak in from behind, even if it means it gets the paladin killed. Go the straight and honorable way, only.

BGII is wrong for this in so many places already, the thief quests, to be forced to side with the thieves, etc.

 

So, yes of course he wants to help her, and he knows that going the straight way into the Drow city would get them all killed, probably. But still it is against his believes to play a false game, even if it's for good. So that is why he cannot keep quiet in front of her, although he doesn't dare to directly confront her.

Ankhesenpaaten: Why didn't you get the choice? Did you start with a save game in the Dungeon? If you started a new game, the choice should have been there, or your PC doesn't fulfill the romance criteria?

If you install into a running game, there should be Squire Roman in the Order, in the Prelate's office. Walk straight in and talk to him before talking to anybody else, and you can trigger the romance path. Glad you enjoy it, btw.

 

Senka: I don't figure Ajantis as the stay silent type. Especially not after he just suffered from a Wyrm's illusion.

Thank you for your feed back and comments!

 

I'd like to ask. Ajantis reacton in Underdark. I believe that Adalon quest - typical Damsell-in-Distress. And don't understand Ajantis complaining. Absolutely. She is LG too, btw

What exactly do you mean? His complaining if they are supposed to go disguised as Drow into the Drow city? Well, as a paladin, Ajantis is no fond of having to play a false game, even if he knows that anything else would be siucidal.

 

And I got a weird text . It gave me a Text not found or reply ...something like that . It was just before Ajantis parent show up for the 1st time . I was in Umar Hills..he said he was nervous...I finished the quest as fast as I could....when he said that he was nervous...that's when I got that weird text in red...all BIG letters like...but it didn't bug or anything . And when I went back to the city....a runner came and Ajantis parent were waiting for us .

Thanks, that seems to be a "no valid links or reply" (NVLOR) bug. I'll have a look at it.

 

Hum about that wedding , can I go get Imeon and all then come back and get married ?? or will the priest dissapear if I do that ?

No, the priest should be still there after the Underdark.

 

eSqr: I didn't see your post .. You were quicker!

The morning after after the wedding night is a nice idea. Maybe also after the first night (if that's not the wedding night).

 

Ankhesenpaaten: Speeding up is difficult, as there are so many different conditions for some of the events. How far into the romance are you, i.e. what was the last LT about? btw: PC and Ajantis don't have to be married at that point, it can all be done after Underdar, too.

Thank you, Ardanis, for your information.

 

Of course you may

Thank you, that is great!

 

It say Beta version , does that mean us player can't download the mod ? does Beta mean for tester only or can I download the mod and play it ? or it's playable but I'm better to wait for final release ?

You can download and play, but beta means beta so there are still bugs in it. Some are already fixed locally and will be with the next update, which I'll hopefully will provide soon.

 

I know there are (I think) 2mods outta there for romances for BG1

It's only one romance (from me), but different mods to play this romance depending on whether you play original BG1 or a BG1 to BGII engine conversion (Tutu / BGT).

 

Another question : Can I start the romance with '' charname and ajantis broke their relationship in BG 1'' and have a romance in BG 2 ? or do I have to start with '' we were fiancee and we continue from there in BG 2 '' ?

Have a look at the readme: The first choice will kill any romanctic content. The second one is for the case that Ajantis and PC romanced and got engaged in BG1. Additionally, there is also the case of a new beginnings romance for BGII.

 

Is Ajantis mod compatible with Dungeon be gone or other mods like Ease of Use ? what about those addon to make Evil charachter stay in the party like Edwin and Viconia ?

It should be compatible with those mods, yeah.

 

Oh another thing , when I install the mod . How do I choose the portrait if I don't like the default one ? or does it ask me that when I install ? (cose so far I didn't install it , still have to re-install BG 2 first )

You have the choice upon install.

Some years ago I slightly edited the original portrait of Ajantis. That is... may be you like it

http://s42.radikal.ru/i096/0905/06/817d2a28f546.jpg

Indeed I do! He looks so much younger. Very nice! May I use it as an alternate portrait for both my BG1 and BGII mods?

 

 

Ever heard about roleplaying? If you do one thing, then you can't do another.

Are you referring to me? As I said, I don't care about Zcar/Montaron neither Jaheira, so that quest was always one I did wondering why I bother.

Can anyone tell me what happens in the Jaheira romance after / during that quest?

Wellyn was murdered by that thief. Keldorn goes for a murderer in that trading city (happenes while the PC walks by), too.

 

I don#t think the Zxar quest is that important anyway.

It's important for Jaheira' Romance. And if you play friendship path...

Yeah, I realized my remark was totally biased. I'll have to have a look at that quest again.

Ajantis' behavior should be consistent both in Mae'Var's quest and in Harpers Hold.

I am adding a way to not steal yet receive the temple items, so making this possible for the Zcar quest seems in line. I have to think about it; I don#t think the Zxar quest is that important anyway.

 

 

The Quest Pack does something to the Harpers quest

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.

I'd like to ask: why Ajantis doesn't make any comment about stealing in Harper Hold?

Very good question: Because I forgot about this quest. Hm, would Ajantis tolerate the theft, if it is about to save someone? I might change this quest so that the PC can talk to the Harpers instead. Wasn't there a mod that already makes this possible?

 

 

There is something in the Underdark I find odd:

Yes, one of the lines is not supposed to show. Thank you for reporting!

 

Will Ajantis say something nice about <Charname> instead? That Jahaboam is right and she is his beloved bride/wife or something like that? That would be nice.

I am not sure he would, actually. Not that he isn't proud about her, but it's not his style to tell everyone. But it's a nice idea. I'll have a look at the situation again.

 

 

my character Divi has selected the ring, how do I make them(or how long should I wait before) they get married. Right now I'm just running around

The ring take about two days. She did tell her choice to Ajantis resp. the ringsmith, yes? Ajantis will say when it's all prepared, then they can go to the temple.

 

BTW Eila's fiancee won't spawn

I don't understand, do you wait for the first spawn in the Government District, of doesn't he show in the prison? How far did the quest proceed so far, did Ajantis talk to Eila, and did they meet in the city?

Thank you for the kind words, Kulyok, and dalarosa.

 

ToB part is not forgotten: Romance for ToB is designed, two lovetalks are written, basic package with call by spirits in pocketplane is coded - but don't expect anything soon.

Sounds like a mess. I'll have a look at it...

 

Yep, there was the EscapeAreaMove, but without any setting of a kickedout variable. No, that's not supposed to be there, he will stay. Fixed locally. Good catch!

Evaine Dian: Cool, thank you for the report. That line wasn't supposed to show for the engaged path, obviously, I forgot to negate the check. Fixed locally.

Saw your edit: That is nonsense, of course. He leaves when they are married, but he shouldn't say otherwise first. Did you chose the PID after the marriage for the breakup?

 

 

sisterpatrick: Thank you for the kind words. It would be great if you could tell me the dialogue in which he refers to her as "love". Your PC chose Anomen? Did you start from the engegd path for the Ajantis romance, and went everything well?

About the quickslot - I am not sure what you mean about items having the note in their description. Could you give an example? Of course I would like to add such a line, to make things easier.

 

 

Ankhesenpaaten: I am gald the quest works for you now.

 

 

Senka: Cool, have fun!

Thank you for your ideas and the discussion.

 

Others ideas that came up were:

-invent a spell that creates an relistic image of the object that could be used to make the copy

-bribe a temple priest to give the item fo some time so a duplicate could be made

-go the straight way and talk to the high priest of the temple, explain the situation and get their help in having a copy made.

 

I really like the last idea. It has so absolutely nothing to do with stealing any more, and is very much paladin-like.

 

About your first idea, Uncle Bertie: I also think that Ajantis wouldn't agree the item to be stolen by somebody else. But getting Renal's help for the copy is a realistic idea.

 

About the other quests: Of course Ajantis objects to killing someone for the Shadow Thieves. If the other quests (killing the mage and killing the thief) are given, he objects and stresses his interest that the PC first talks to these persons. The mage will instantly attack, and he is evil, and the thief, well, is a thief. If the PC lets him go, Ajantis is not sure whether it was good thing to do or not. It's an awkward situation.

 

While designing Ajantis, I had a good look at Keldorn's reaction. In some cases, they don't go far enough in my opinion. Of course I want to blend into the game, yet for an NPC with X+ dialogues and PID, the level of the original BioWare NPC is left behind anyway. I wanted him to be believable, as a paladin in the D&D world. Now, BGII is not good for this at all, since the PC has to side with one of two evil sides for the game to continue. So, of course Ajantis will accept that the PC sides with Aran Linvail, because otherwise I could have stopped developping the NPC. But yes, the thief quest was one of the first things I did for this mod (after the reaction to Sir Sarles), so the reaction might be a bit stronger than in other situations. Yet still not unappropriate.

 

I wouldn't know there is such a bad case for a paladin in BG1. There, it is mainly look for your main enemy - now look for the boss of this main enemy - now look for the boss of this boss, etc.

 

Engine limitations is the reason Ajantis won't react to thefts done in houses, looting tombs, etc. But in my head I see him complaining about that, and I would have implemented it if it would be feasible with an appropriate amount of effort.

 

 

Evaine Dian: Oops, could well be that I made a romance talk available for the friendship track, and forgot to eliminate all love talk references. Thank you for the report. Thank you very much also for the proof reading, it is very much appreciated. Yeah, I can't believe how much different reply options and parallel dialogue paths I am offering the player and wrote reactions to things probably no-one will ever play.

Thank you for the reports, Evaine Dian! The banters between Ajantis and Yoshimo are random banters, that get triggered by the engine. It is coincidence that two dialogues were triggered directly after the other (or, maybe they enjoyed talking so much.).

To the messenger: Hm, I don't see why he would be created and the engaged romance talk would fire in case of the new beginnings romance. Do you have a save game from shortly before it happened? EDIT: No, wait, I think I know at least why the second dialogue would fire, but nor why Douglas would be created a second time. I added some more checks, so hopefully that's solved locally. Thanks again!

 

The NVLOR is fixed locally.

 

AkashaCatBat: Yes, the messenger comes after the Underdark.

Thank you for the kind words!

 

And please, post any bugs or issues here. Don't bother finding the text in the tras, if you can give me the sentence or the misspelled word, I will search for it myself.

 

Proof-readings are always welcome, of course!
