This hotfix is necessary for ANY version of Gavin for BG2 (ToB beta or v20) and also for the Keldorn Romance, as they both use this area. It prevents a crash-to-desktop if the mod area is accessed at night. Because I am an idiot, I made an error while making the area for one of Gavin's BG2 talks. It is also the area for Keldorn's quest resolution, if you are playing the Keldorn Romance. Nothing bad happens if Gavin leads you to this area or you do Keldorn's quest during daylight hours (most people do), but if you attempt it at night, CTD. This hotfix addresses that. To use the hotfix, just extract the archive in your override directory, replacing the file that already exists. This hotfix is needed for both Gavin for BG2 and the Keldorn Romance, since they share this area. Naturally, you only need to apply the fix once. [link removed] I apologize for any inconvenience.

Gavin got the 'missing persons in Beregost' quest from the Morninglord in the Beregost Temple. I am given directions to where the persons went missing from Penny, yet the door to the house I need to be is locked. I didn't have a thief at that time in my party, so I recruited Tiax, got his Open Locks up to 101 with buffs, yet still I failed to pick the door. I went to an old BG Tutu game where I solved this quest, to check if it was the proper house I tried and how I solved it back then. I found out in Tutu, running Gavin v7, I didn't need to pick the lock at all, the door could just be opened, it was unlocked. Now, running BGEE v2.3.67.3 and Gavin v11, I'm stuck with an unpickable lock and the quest remaining incompletable. Can anyone tell me what's going wrong and how I can proceed the quest? Thanks in advance to anyone able to help, I attach the WeiDu log of this installation just in case. WeiDU.log

Hello, I tried to install Gavin NPC v9. But the setup is automatically choosing French as language, but I want to have English. Does anyone know how to change that?

Greetings, I'm playing BG:EE on Steam and use Gavin mod. Until now eveything was fine, but yesterday they was an update of the game for the release of Siege of DragonSpear,and now Gavin has no portrait, he's called "invalid 34053" and all he says is "invalid", well you get the idea. Anyone with this problem ? Anyone with an idea ? (Ps: I'm using game with text in french and french translation of Gavin.)

After a year and a half of conscientious procrastination development, Gavin is ready for Throne of Bhaal beta-testing. All primary dialogue is in place and both sequential and plot-related dialogue is alpha-tested. While there is still a small bit of writing to do for the mod, I am ready to start recruiting beta testers. To avoid creating more work for the forum admins, we'll use this pinned thread for beta-testing findings. I am looking for three groups of beta-testers. Romance - Players should run the ToB romance with Gavin. Apart from a single romance-kill for Anomen that occurs in dialogue, there are no romance kill scripts in place. For your beta playthrough, at least, please don't multi-romance. The Master Wraith encounter and other romance-specific dialogues typically occur for only one NPC. Apart from that, have fun. Please be aware that NPC-initiated flirts aren't implemented yet and place-holders replace player-initiated pillow talk (hopefully, these are at least marginally amusing). The PID menu is still under construction, but it's functional. Full-length NPC-initiated night talks are in place. Friendship - Players should run through ToB with Gavin in the party as it suits them. Leaving/rejoining dialogues should work, and if Gavin is kicked from the party, he shouldn't comment on events he didn't witness. If he does, it's a bug. Others - Players should install the mod and not recruit Gavin. Several bugs in BG2 Gavin occurred because I got sloppy with the code for instances when Gavin isn't in the party. I want to avoid that happening again, so I'm looking for players who will install the mod and never recruit the guy. If you go this route, please drop in once your have completed your playthrough to report your success. One SoA-only player to test-install the mod. It should install OK. General Beta-Testing instructions: Gavin ToB is a complete mod! Do not attempt to install Gavin ToB without first uninstalling and deleting all previous versions of Gavin for BG2! This is a beta. Principal dialogues have been alpha-tested, but I have not pursued every route through every dialogue. I need to know about dialogue loops, illogical conversation flow, and the dreaded NO VALID REPLIES OR LINKS. Please report all stutter, even if you don't think it's Gavin's fault. By stutter, I mean that one NPC turns to face the PC or moves toward the NPC. To see if you have stutter, direct the NPC to walk some distance away. If the NPC makes it to the destination, there is no stutter. If the NPC halts before the destination is reached, there is stutter. I have a post-installation mod to diagnose stutter, but there isn't any reason to play with that on all the time. Stutter is NOT the same as lag. Lag is where EVERYBODY slows down and movements are jerky. Lag is usually caused by trying to install too many mods. Because this is a beta, I do not recommend installing it on a mega. Mega-mods take ages to build and rely on installation order extensively. Let's not go there until Gavin's ToB content is out of beta. You may be asked to update your installation to a new version at some point. Keeping Gavin at the end of your installation will minimize headaches. At the very least, romance players have the updated PID and PC-initiated night talks to look forward to. Download Gavin ToB Beta
