There is also a nicer way to deal with Odren - you can seal Demogorgon in as he suggests, then when you go to speak to Odren, tell him the demon wanted you to trick him but you're not going to do that. Odren and the Helmites walk off to think about what they've done and you get +1 rep. (But you don' get to fight Demogorgon).
I don't know that makes any difference to Jon though!

Haven't done that yet, but that's next on the list I guess. I've got his RC up to 47 right now... apparently, the mod relies upon the presence of certain NPCs... I've done everything the same as before, but because I have Imoen in my party, I got a new dialog that increased his counter by 3 points due to a conversation about dreams and Candlekeep and such. I wonder if I should sub in Jaheira at some point...

[Cal Jones]

I did it without Jaheira. Having Imoen definiely helps though. I believe my party was my PC, Imoen, Sarevok, Edwin (I was playing the Edwin romance), Valygar and Jonny boy. There's a funny exchange between Edwin and Jon if you have them both along.

Yeah, the whole 'chattering macaque... oh!' thing was hysterical, as was mental chess.

Ah well, maybe I did something this time that I forgot and didn't do last time... I've got him up to JRC 49 now, post-Balthazar, so we'll see how it goes. I'm about to fight the Ravager and then go after Melissan, so there isn't much left to do.

[Warrax]

Huh, something DEFINITELY different happened this time in the Throne of Bhaal.

An... unexpected visitor from earlier in the game.

[Warrax]

AUGH!

He STILL wants a Bhaalspawn soul... DAMNIT!

I had a neat little dialog where I showed him empathy and he felt the truth of it and everything, too...

Argh. So frustrating.

[Warrax]

OK, on the topic of Irenicus and Edwin... THAT, I did not see coming.

[Lollorian]

Well, although this section of the forum seems inactive I hope this question can be answered by someone

What exactly does this lone code segment in LR\bcs\TeleportAbaia.baf do?? And does anyone have a clue which areas it should check for??

IF
	Global("AbaiaIn","GLOBAL",1)
	Global("DevaQuestFailed","GLOBAL",0)
	GlobalTimerExpired("DevaDeath","GLOBAL")
	Global("AbaiaNotThere","GLOBAL",0)
	OR(12)
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
	!AreaCheck("")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
         SetGlobal("AbaiaNotThere","GLOBAL",1)
END

EDIT: I found similar OR(12) blocks in some other mods that check for the various SoA Inns, would that have anything to do with this quest??

The block in question:

OR(12)
    AreaCheck("AR0313") // Sea's Bounty
    AreaCheck("AR0406") // Copper Coronet
    AreaCheck("AR0509") // Five Flagons
    AreaCheck("AR0522") // Five Flagons (Stronghold)
    AreaCheck("AR0704") // Mithrest Inn
    AreaCheck("AR1105") // Umar Inn
    AreaCheck("AR1602") // The Vulgar Monkey
    AreaCheck("AR2010") // Vyatri's Pub, Trademeet
    AreaCheck("AR0709") // Den of the Seven Vales 1st Floor
    AreaCheck("AR0513") // Calbor's Inn at Bridge District 1st Floor
    AreaCheck("AR0021") // Crooked Crane 1st Floor
    AreaCheck("AR1602") // Brynnlaw's Inn

I very much doubt that has anything to do with LR, since it looks like something for Aurora's Boots of the Bar or the like.

No clue what the area checks for LR should've been, but I suspect areas specific to LR's Abaia (which I believe is some sort of demon - a bebilith or spider-demon I think). Moreover, a disjunctive set of negations makes no sense. For the non-logic scholars, that means an OR followed by a bunch of ! or NOT conditions. It's checking IF the creature is NOT in area A, OR NOT in area B, OR NOT in area C, etc. Well regardless of which area the creature's in, one of those conditions is always going to be true - indeed most or all of them will be. If the intention is to make sure the creature isn't in a certain area (which seems to be the case) then delete the OR(12).

I don't see that script being used - it doesn't even get compiled from what I can tell (the filename is too long anyway - engine expects 8 characters or less). Moreover, the AbaiaNotThere variable doesn't get used anywhere else in the mod. So I suspect it is a snippet the modder started and either decided not to implement or implemented in some other fashion.

[Lollorian]

Oh yeah, it doesn't get used lol

About the name, I guess that .baf could've been EXTEND_TOP/BOTTOMed Thanks for confirming btw

[rbx4]

First of all I want to say that this is a most impressive Mod indeed!!!

not only the opportunity of having Irenicus in your group, but the cutscenes and the dialogs ate just SUBERB!!!
But I am in need of a hint.

The Deva quest is vital to Jon's redemption, right? I have found 2 of 3 itens, the gem and the water of Elysium. Where is the Chalice of Peace? Is it with someone? is it hidden? I would appreciate any light on this matter.

Thank you, ppl

I also want to congratulate the author for making this excellent mod. I was able to walk through it making choices that seemed logical to me, and it worked wonderfully. There are a few minor things here and there that could be tweaked, but overall this stands next to the best mods ever made for BG2, in my opinion. Great work!

[Toews]

I'm having an issue with the Elysium area loading. I have all the items, and I believe I'm picking the right choices for the good outcome. Once the Bebililth tells me he can port the group to Elysium the screen says loading and then immediately goes black. I haven't waited a long time to see if it will work, but that seems very unlikely.

 

I am using the 1.5 version, and everything has run smoothly untill now.

 

The correct answer would be very much appreciated.

[Kulyok]

Maybe your file got corrupted, and it's worth it to reload the mod again? Or one of the .cre's got corrupted - try installing Miloch's crefixer over your game(it's available here at SHS).

[dorotea]

If anybody is interested in porting LR to Enhanced edition, I will get out of my self exile. I have not touched Infinity Engine for eons , but I can try and join in. By myself I fear I won't get far though.
