I have s and h patch 3 installed. Shar challenges me to a duel. I fight her with my main character and beat her. She dies and is ressurected and reluctantly agrees to join my band because she has been beat. I accept, she joins for a brief instant and then departs. If im fast enough I can take a look at her inventory or stats. After leaving she approaches and starts in with the dialog I would expect if I asked her to come back to the group. If I ask her to join again, I get the same results (joins and promptly leaves). I have noticed that I have her armor in my inventory and that all her gear is on the ground. I didnt pick her armor up (actually I remember this being unremoveable), so I must have received it when I killed her.

I do have a reputation of 18 so that could be an issue (although I have vicky and have had no problems with her leaving yet). And, I did start this game with s and h patch 1, but installed patch 3 well before I entered the area with shar-teel and initiated her dialog.

Seems like I read that s and h patch one was supposed to address this issue, but cant remember.

she will not stay in your group if your reputation is greater than 17. see script
IF
	InParty(Myself)
	ReputationGT(Player1,17)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
  SetGlobal("KickedOut","LOCALS",2)
  LeaveParty()
END

so go for killing some innocent :vbat:

Pop open "Happy.2da" in your editor of choice--DLTCEP works great.  There's a column for each alignment, with the values representing the happiness of the NPCs with that alignment.  Negative numbers are bad, and positive numbers mean that they're happy.  This not only controls whether or not they leave the party, but the occasional sounds they make.  All you really need to do is change the negative numbers to 0, and noone will ever leave your group due to reputation.  You could change the negative values to 80 too, so that everyone is always happy. :)

Ok. Im going to try adding her with a lower rep. However, if that turns out to be the issue, it still seems like a bug. I mean, shouldnt she init some dialog explaining why she is leaving? I dont remember in the past, but it seems like she does.

Also, whats the deal with her armor ending up in my inventory after she is bested?

Chev, did you see that also? Anyway, it all seems a bit buggy.

I thought her armor was fixed in the S&H patch.

I thought I read something similar, but Im sure this occured. I have not been able to rerun the encounter since posting this (at work and all), can anyone confirm or refute?

OK, finally got a chance to rerun this. Lowered rep and was able to add shar-teel and without her loosing her armor. Although, Im still pretty sure it ended up in my inventory when I battled her with a high rep (18).

I ran into the same problems, so I gave up on even talking with her. Her armor definitely appears in my inventory and is not removable. I have patch 3 installed, so that patch didn't correct that bug.

My experience on this was, if Shar can be added and stay with your party (ie your rep is <=17), you wont see this problem with her armor. If you have a higher rep, she will do the join/unjoin thing and you will see this bug expressed.

I have a different kind of bug. When I challange Shar Teel she fights and when I do her enough damage instead of initiating a dialogue the circle under her just go from blue to red and she starts fighting. I've noticed that she is invincible and I cannot kill her.

My wiedu log is in spoiler, a bit long so I cut it short for some it can be annoying. :P



Spoiler


I don't really plan on joining her. But in future I may consider making of an evil party, so it would be useful for someone who actually needs Shar Teel in his/her team.

Might want to start a new topic for something this old. I started reading back a bit, then I noticed the date when folks were talking about the "S&H patch" (something obsolete I believe).

Try running a weidu --change-log on sharte.cre, sharteel.bcs, etc.

Edit: there are instructions for that in Jarno's pinned megamod FAQ.

I think it's the same bug I got some time ago: when I hit her, she got hostile instead of surrendering.
Have you tried reloading and repeating the fight for some times?
In my case, after some time (and quite many posts with accusations to apparently innocent mods :whistling: ), the bug disappeared quite misteriously, and I've never really found out where it came from
