    In the BG1NPC-added Coran quest: if choosing to decline Amelia, he leaves the party to run into the dungeon, but is then gone from the game. This is possibly related to issues with EET/More Banters that happened with Tweaks Anthology's "Send to Inn" component sending EE companions to wrong places when they were meant to go to an inn (See resolution of that on G3 Discord). 

    If it is this dialog:

    Spoiler

    Amelia: Oh, it's quite noble of you, my good elf. Forgive me kindly for breaking up your small fellowship. Take these roses to the temple in Beregost; ask the priest to restore them to life and once you are in the dungeon give them to Natan.  He is... he was a rogue. I am afraid, however, that he is angry with me for my rejecting his love, and he may try to tell you some nonsense about me... please, do not believe him!

    Coran: 'Twill be my pleas- Ow! Auw! They certainly kept their thorns!

    Then Coran should be found at...

    Spoiler

    ...the Beregost Temple (AR3400)

    His entry into the dungeon is a function of the "EscapeAreaMove()" action that is used to have him leave. Characters always leave via the nearest enabled travel trigger. In this case, that's the entry to Firewine.

  2. In general, no. Given the way saved games work, changes made by mods to areas you have already visited will NOT be reflected in your saved game. So, if a mod adds NPCs to an area, loot to a container, items to a store, etc.., you wouldn’t see those additions in your saved game (assuming you’d visited the area/store in question). This can break quests (e.g., a crucial NPC or item isn’t where it’s supposed to be).

    I found out that a banter Faldorn should have with Kagain, actually takes place between Faldorn and Imoen:

    So obviously these strings are accidentally connected with BIMOEN.DLG instead of BKAGAI.DLG.

    This bug was already fixed by Jastey in v26. If you use an updated version (most recent version is v30), the banter will occur correctly.

     

    Thanks for the bug report!

    Edwin doesn't suggest a reward after Dynaheir's death. Everything works fine before proceeding the diary quest. Is there a way to let him know further that his mission accomplished? Also would be cool to return his dialog state to the moment, when he can be persuaded to do it insensibly atfer party resting.

    There is a dialog that triggers if you kill Dynaheir, but if you take Edwin and Dynaheir into your party together at some point, that blocks the trigger in BGEE. This is not an added BG1NPC dialog. It is part of the base game. This dialog should still fire if you accepted Edwin's quest and never had Edwin and Dynaheir together in the party.

    So the witch Dynaheir is dead! I would have thought her more formidable to be so far from her homeland. Why then was she here? 
    Her demise is not the checkmate I had hoped for, merely the check. What? What do you want?! (Oh yes, the matter of payment, although 
    I begin to doubt whether their input was all that vital. Still, something for their trouble is in order, if only to appease them.) As 
    we never fixed a price, your payment shall be one year of my services as a wizard. I am sure you agree that my guidance will be far 
    more valuable than any monetary sum.

    I meant enginewise in the commit message, but there's a 80 char limit which is displayed nicely there. I'd doublecheck the Xzar quest and take a look at https://github.com/Gibberlings3/BG1NPC/issues/104 before a new release though.

    Regarding the Gerde ankheg quest. There was a solution by @Turambar back in 2010. It was from before I started working on BG1NPC. I guess the solution was never adapted into BG1NPC's code.

    It's worth a look to see how it could be adapted to fix the issue for BG1NPC and BGT

    BG:SoD v2.5 Standalone
    Cloakwood Mines aren't showing up on my map after clearing the bandit camp and trying to use the Cloakwood Wyverns east border. Is it a mod conflict or a v23.3 issue? (And since the save game is being streamed: will I have to use the lua console to get into the Cloakwood Mines map now that I've accessed Cloakwood Wyverns?)

    With BGEE v2.5, the scripting for the Chapter 3->4 transition changed, breaking the "Open Cloakwood Early" component of BG1NPC. Use the Tweaks Anthology component instead.

  7. Happy New Year!

    I have a new version of BG1NPC finally ready. I'm tagging it as a prerelease on GitHub because I have not done testing with game versions other than BGEEv2.5. I've installed it on Tutu, but no gameplay testing on that platform. I'll remove the prerelease tag on GitHub once I'm more confident that it works on Tutu, BGT, and BGEE versions pre-2.5.

    The version is updated to v24.1 as an official release. Please post your bug reports here.

    https://github.com/Gibberlings3/BG1NPC/releases

    I've made edits to accommodate the new content in BGEE v2.5. I've also made some edits under the hood to ease installation (no more command prompts for selecting romance timers, it uses subcomponents now). There's a few general bug fixes as well. A few components have been moved to Tweaks Anthology and Camdawg's new Continuous Portraits mod. 

    Finally, there's a couple additions. First, I've revised the Non-Joinable NPC Portraits component. This one only adds portraits for NPCs added by BG1NPC and uses sourced artwork from WotC D&D games and artwork tagged for reuse on the NWN Vault. It is designed to be used in conjunction with another mod like PPE. Second, since many of the portrait components moved to Continuous Portraits, I added a Coran portrait component using his portraits from the Murder in Baldur's Gate PnP adventure module.

    Additional changes in v24.1:

    Spoiler
    • Russian translation added by Aerie Team & Arcanecoast Team

    • Slime transformation and spawning of the 4 Zizis should now work as intended (corrected inconsidtency between the tracking variable which Zizi is talked to).
    • Xzar's Quest: druids should all walk towards him and not talk while still outside the visual range (changed MoveToObject("blackberry) to MoveToObject"Xzar") in their scripts.
    • FIx Minsc checks in INGOT interjection

    • Link to Kerzenburgforum added to readme.

     

  8. The modmerge archive distributes the modmerge binary for macOS without the execute bit set.

     

    I'd recommend using DLC Merger instead of modmerge.

     

    You can download the latest version here: https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger/releases/latest

     

    You need to run DLC Merger (or modmerge) *before* installing any other mods, including mods for BGEE.

     

    Also, BG1NPC Project is not yet fully compatible with BGEE v2.5. Do not install the "Open Cloakwood" components. It will screw up your game.

  9. Does Rogue Rebalancing restrict swashbucklers from using the Short Sword of Backstabbing? I know it is changed to give a boost to backstab multiplier (so a restriction would make sense), but I can't remember if it alters the usability. If it does, that's the only item I can think would need to be handled specially for swashbucklers.

     

    #2 certainly sounds simpler.

  10. Not want to be rude, but I am personally against about the current implementation of the poisonous dagger, because:

     

    1. Tactical-wise, If the purpose was to bring more tactical challenge by beefing up kobolds, the undroppable version should do it well. Making it droppable empowers players with increased combat power and/or monetary gain, therefore reducing the tactical challenge.

     

    2. RP-wise, I think a permanent enchantment like secondary damage is not trivial task, and the kobold tribe has to mass-produce it, which looks unrealistic to me. The "normal dagger plus applied venom" rationale looks more natural and achievable.

     

    3. Undroppable items are indeed immersion-breaking, because it is just a shortcut for implementing a combat ability (in this case, it mimics Assassin's poison weapon skill. We can surely use an alternate but more complex approach, say, create a SPL that do the trick, and set their script to use the trick, yet I am not sure if it really worth all the hassle.

     

    The player would never notice, so why is it immersion breaking? It's a trick used by the game quite often. Flinds carry undroppable weapons that have similar effects to a "flind bar" as described in the 2E Monstrous Manual, but they also carry swords in their inventory (and the animation wields a sword). So, when you kill one, it drops a sword. Every undead gets its "undead immunities" (e.g., sleep, charm, etc..) from a ring it wears. It's an easy way for the game programmers to give a group of creatures abilities/immunities en masse by just adding the item, rather than editing each CRE individually (and tweaking those abilities/immunities en masse). And unless you crack open the CREs in DLTCEP or NI you'd never know.

  11.  

     

    1) Dark-Side-based kobold upgrade:

    Kobold Guards are equipped with a special droppable dagger that can poison them or their target ----> this dagger should probably be undroppable since SCS is not supposed to add new items......

    This. I suppose it is the same story as the special flame arrow added to Kobolds by SCS. In my last game experience the party was getting rich really fast by just selling these daggers... IMO the poison should be coming from some venom applied by kobolds, which vaporize soon after battle. Not sure if it is possible to have kobolds still use the poisonous dagger but drop the normal version.

    Sure. Make the poisonous dagger undroppable and put a normal dagger in the kobolds inventory. The game does that quite often (e.g., flinds).

  12. Hello.

    Im not sure it is bug, maybe i just dont understand something.

    After i take letters from chest in bandits camp chapter 4 doesnt start.

    I use BGEE.

    That problem appear after i install BG1UB and UB, im my last playthrough without them, all was normal.

     

    I've tested this with BG1UB loaded. No problems.

     

    What versions of BGEE and BG1UB are you running? Also, are you running any other mods? You only mention BG1UB and UB. So, does that mean an EET install with only BG1UB and UB (for BG2) installed?

  13. Anyway, I tried second option and it worked like the charm! Thank you for your explanations and help. :beer:

     

     

    Hi Greenhorn.

     

    Sorry, for the issues with the 64-bit WeiDU. There are mods that require 64-bit WeiDU now (e.g., DLC Merger), so I figured using the x64 WeiDU was the best bet. I also wasn't aware Windows was still doing a 32-bit-only version; MacOS went 64-bit over 10 years ago.

     

    I'll have to create a new workflow to also create 32-bit WeiDU archives.
