Recently both my father and I expressed dislike at the Vampiric Sword easter egg found in BG1, by giving Ulcaster the Kozah Idol and the Ancient Item. For going through all the trouble to get those two items, you'd think that we'd get something that was actually useful.

Anyway, I have everything all written out and ready to package, but how to I get the AR602 (Chateau Irenicus, Level 1) script that I wrote to append itself BEFORE all the PC's items get destroyed?

EXTEND_TOP thr ar0602 script with your little script segment.

The khazol ideol can be found in the cave, but what is that Ancient Item?

[Creepin]

"Ancient Armour" from dungeon beneath Firewine, one that you loot from ghost or, rather, skeleton of betrayer to return to his comrades.

There is an easter egg if the ancient armour isn't returned to the ghosts but taken elsewhere? We want to design a quest around the armour in the BG1 quest pack (BWL), so could you please tell me more about this as I never heard about it before.

[Creepin]

Are you all kidding? I thought that this EE is known to everyone

There's not much to add, actually - if you bring Idol of Kozah & Ancient Armour to Ulcaster's ghost, he will exchange them for a cursed sword named "Revenge of a Vampire", IIRC. It heals target instead of damaging it and occasionally drain Int from the wielder

P.S. It's Sw1h19, if you need exact description

No, I really didn't know this. Thank you for the information. Well, doesn't sound as if anyone would miss this sword if the armour gets used for something different.

So, BG1 Quest Pack is still alive and kicking? Cool

Well, it's twitching at any rate.

I know about the Big Metal Unit in TOB, but is there something similar to this in SOA?

With DSotSC/NTotSC the sword is part of a quest to stop the haunting of Beregost. This doesn't mean you can't use it too. You might want to look into DSotSC/NTotSC to see what Quests they use and modify. I do hope when the Tutu version is done, a BGT version is made.

I seem to have run into two problems. EDIT: Fixed problem #2

#1. After the whole first scene with Imoen, my character does the "stutter-walk." I think it's because the game is continously checking to see if he has the sword in his inventory. Either way, here's the ar0602.baf code:

IF
	Global("BG1VampSword","GLOBAL",0)
	PartyHasItem("SW1H19") // Vampiric Sword
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("BG1VampSword","GLOBAL",1)
		ActionOverride("Picture1",CreateItem("SW1H19",0,0,0)) // Vampiric Sword
		Continue()
END
