I cannot teleport into the final confrontation with the 'sorcerer'.  Every time I try BG2 crashes.  I tried looking at ARPSQ02 with both DLTCEP and NI, but neither can load the file.

Any idea why, or what I can do to fix this?

I did CreateCreature and killed him, but it was in the Sphere so whatever was supposed to happen (global changing?) didn't.  The Lady of Pain just keeps up her original dialogue.

Thanks for any help

I'm not offering solutions just want to bitch about having similar problems. my problem was after i'd fried his sorry butt, nothing happened. stuck in a roomwith no doors and no exit apart from Clua. I think people need to be warned about this mod HLID did a great job of converting it but the orginal mod is as buggy as hell and unfortuntealy stil is. I've always had problems with this. the items are all screwed up and don't start me on the spells. Just take a look at the parse errors when you install, 'hello alarm bells ringing'
need i say more. :woot:

The area's .wed file, which contains information about how the area is structured was corrupt. I have no idea how this happened orginally, but I did manage to fix it. I'd advise against trying it yourself unless you like editing files using a hex editor.

And yes, a number of globals were supposed to get set when you entered and exited arpsq02. Some were also set in the Sorcerers script and in his dialog. Unfortunately, I don't remember what they were, and there were quite a few of them. The whole setup was a total mess.

I'm afraid you will just have to wait for the new version to come out. It shouldn't be too much longer, and all of those problems are fixed. (And no more install errors!)

If you really can't wait micswym, I can take a look and see what needs to be set for you to get the final rewards.

Lol, I'm getting good with DLTCEP between this and TDD sin TDD.  I've edited most of the spells, and they seem to work pretty good now.

I won't mind CLUA'ing out, but I wish I could get IN so that I could see what items are available in that area!

There are no items in the area, just the ones on the sorcerer's body :)
The area itself is just a prison, a place for the final confrontation.

Thanks duality, I can wait for an update.  I searched through the 'psq' items, and found a lot that I didn't see so I can just CLUA them to check them out.

I just started using DLTC a couple weeks ago, I'm pretty sure a 'hex editor' would be too far beyond me, hehe.

i should have posted this yesterday: i re-edited the part of the final confrontation with melanthium so that a: you can survive it; b: you can exit once it's finished. it's a cheat: you cary in the celestial cheese, he dies, you get some of the XP and the items, you leave. but at least it works. the link to the post with the attachment is here. it's a baf file, so you need to either place it in the BAF folder of yr Planar Sphere folder and re-install the mod, or compile it with DLTCEP and save it to yr override folder. then you play the final confrontation again and marvel as it actually works.
