If Immy dies in Chateau Irenicus, she gets DestroySelf'ed in Spellhold. If I clua her in, pause, force-talk and let her join, everything is all right.
Is this a bug or a feature?
WeiDU.log is the same as here: http://www.shsforums...howtopic=13301#

so, let me guess this straight....

IF you let the game run as it should, it runs as it should.

IF you CLUA in an immy after she's dead, *and* pause the game to stop her script DestroySelf-ing her again *and* force-talk her to force her to use a different script (her joining one) *then* she's not dead?

rather than 'bug' or 'feature', i think it's best called 'cheese'.

[the bigg]

1) Imoen died (A.K.A. leaves the party due to wounds) in Chateau Irenicus (and didn't get the transformation as scripted by tele0700.bcs)
2) I play and get to Spellhold. Bodhi starts the Gauntlet, and Imoen DestroySelf, since a variable didn't get set by tele0700.bcs.

this is where I was curious wheter it was a bug or a feature.

Obviously cluaing her in, force talking etc. is a cheese

That did not happen when I tried it on an install of just ToB + Official Patch, so I'm guessing that this is an issue with a mod.

That sounds like a bug. I don't have the code in front of me, but it shouldn't be too hard to alter Imoen's script so that everything gets set up correctly if she flees in Chateau Irenicus.

Yeah, I know. I was just asking if this was intended or not (I.E. you let her die and/or abandon her in Chateau Irenicus, thus she doesn't want to join with you anymore, or the coder was simply lazy).
Besides, I even got her dreams correct, and her RomanceActive was 1 (and not 4).

[Stone Wolf]

If it was intentional, it wouldn't be a bug. It's probably caused by the newly continuous Imoen stuff.

[hlidskialf]

Hmm, we had that working before the release. I'm not certain if it's an issue for everyone or a single glitchy install I'm afraid. (Still whining about my laptop being in the shop.) Anyone want to investigate?

I'd wager it's a glitchy install. It never happened to me before on any of the 3 machines I have BG2+ToB+patch+Immy Romance on.

Well, I can't see why you're having the problem, so I'll post the script block that should move Imoen to the correct location. It's Cut01.bcs, so just see if the bolded line is the same as in your copy of that file.

It's that last bold line that should move her.

The lines you mention, I've got them only in tele0700.bcs.
Erm, what is the last Imoen Romance version?

[hlidskialf]

v1.21
Main mod install of v1.2 and the v1.21 patch.

[Stone Wolf]

If those lines aren't in Cut01.bcs, then that'll be the problem. The game will destroy the old version of Imoen, but won't create the new version.

[the bigg]

So sayeth my docs.

@ stonewolf: imoen's tp2 doesn't mention cut01.bcs; what you have comes from NEJ or (possibily, I don't have BG1 & cannot check) from BGT. Both these mods add an eternal Immy to your setup.

[Stone Wolf]

Well that's odd. I don't have an install without NEJ at the moment, but I couldn't find anywhere else that did the switch if Imoen isn't in the party when you leave CI. Hlid? You remember where that's supposed to happen?

I just checked out NEJ's setup, and it appears NEJ makes Imoen change in cut01.bcs, while Imoen's Romance makes her change in tele0700.bcs.
Since the two eternal immy codes are exactly the same (as shown off by the hf_ prefix), I guess that Mirrabo had coded intentionally the behaviour I described. Evil me who let her too near the duergars!

[hlidskialf]

Actually the hf_prefix is mine. The behavior is unintentional and is supposed to mimic the NEJ one exactly. (As I believe I did that one too and just borrowed/tweaked the code for the IR.) It either slipped through the cracks or was eaten or something.
