Actually I'm an idiot lacking reading comprehension and feel quite embarrassed. I just saw the textfile and assumed that the game was patched. Please forgive me for being such a noob. Now I'll go stand in the corner.

The new fix works fine. No one turns hostile when training with Jondalar. Thank you once again! Yes, during installation and during uninstallation. It was one of those "Couldn't find a disk in drive. Retry / Abort / Some other option". I installed the fixpack and had to click abort several times when prompted for a CD. This made me a bit nervous so I uninstalled, clicked abort some more and then edited my message here. Then some time later I reinstalled the fixpack and wasn't prompted, turns out I had forgotten an Audio CD in the drive. Anyway it's probably not important. Hmm, maybe patching was the culprit behind the strange bug after all. There have also been lots of crashes, but I just thought they were due BG being old and not particularly compatible with Vista. I'm sorry, but I feel I need the WSM, so I'm kinda forced to use EasyTutu now.

Well, it took some time. I was a bit busy... but to be honest, I was procastrinating quite a bit, I wasn't looking forward to reinstalling BG1. But today I took my time and went ahead with it. I'm not sure if this was what causing the bug that made items disappear, but it turns out the last time I installed the game I had installed the patch onto a game that was already patched. Maybe this caused some sort of corruption. Now to my stupid question: The BG1Fixpack wants me to put a CD in the drive when installing it, can I safely ignore this? --------- Eh, I'll just go ahead and ignore it, I'm sure it'll be fine. -------- Apparently my prepatched BGmain2.exe and dialog.tlk have nonstandard filesizes and such the widescreen refuses to believe that the game is patched. So I'll have to install the patch anyway. --------- Ok, now I've tested the fix you posted and it only works half the way. *Jondalar iniates dialogue when hit and then they leave. This is good! *But Reevor still turns hostile and attacks... not good! I'm gonna continue playing, but I guess I'll avoid Jondalar.

Hey thanks! Sorry for not getting back to you but I was a bit busy. I'll try this solution as soon as I have time!

1. I approach Jondalar and talk to him, going through his dialogue. 2. I press "End dialogue" and he turns red and attacks, Erik appears, also red, and fires arrows at me. 3. I attack Jondalar. 4a. When an attack actually hits Jondalar, instead of triggering dialogue, Reevor turns red and attacks. 4b. Hitting Erik instead triggers the dialogue, turns both Erik and Jondalar neutral and they start walking away. Going to look more into it tomorrow, maybe I need to reinstall...

Hello! First I'd like to extend a great thank you to plainab for working on the BG1Fixpack and to grogerson for working on the BG1Tweaks! I'm very grateful that people like you who keeps the original BG alive! I've tried both EasyTutu and BGTrilogy, but they just aren't the same as the real game... But of course, I have a strange and rare problem. As many people do I like to store items in containers, so that I don't have carry it around. While I was unloading things in the barrel in Feldepost's Inn, I encountered a bug: the items I put into the barrel disappeared... and the items I removed from the barrel was still remaining, in other words duplicated (i.e. both in the barrel and in my inventory). I don't know what triggered this bug and it didn't happen every time I entered the Inn. But then the bug spread and I started encountering the bug at another place in the game, which made me give up. I have vague memories of reading about someone else having this bug but I can't find anything about this using google. At the time I was using the old version of the fixpack (0.14 or whatever it was), since then I've restored BG from a backup och installed the new version. Sorry, I don't have the saves with the bug anymore. What do you think caused it? Incompatibility with Vista? I have cache size set to 1024, could that be a problem? I'm going to startover BG again, I hope I won't encounter this bug again. But if I do, I'll come back and post my Weidu.log here. Once again, thanks for keeping the game alive! Regards, spukrian ---------------------------------------------- Added much later: I've started a new game with the latest fixpack and there's a strange bug. In Candlekeep Jondalar and Erik teaches the Bhaalspawn about combat and they're supposed to stop and talk when you get a hit in. Erik works exaclty the way he should, but getting a hit on Jondalar turns everyone nearby (Reevor and any passing guards) hostile. I guess I must've done something wrong. weidu.log:
