Hello,

I just did my first bout of arena battles and Drizzts mentioned that he needs to goto Arlax to find his friends. I can see Arlax on the map but it is greyed out right now. How does it become accesible? Is there an area code that I can use to teleport there?

CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("??????")

Thanks for your help!

I have already visited the City Gates and other areas outside Amn on the map, but Arlax was still greyed out. It's alright now though, I found the area code in the RoT\worldmap folder and CLUA'd there.

When I went to the city gates a mage came up and said "you should really check this place out" and worldmap was updated. Didn't even have Drizzt and Wulfgar in party. Haven't gone there yet though, have to go and pick them up.

Same problem, can't reach Arlax. It's just greyed out. I've traveled to and from city gates as well as to the outside areas (Watcher's Keep, Academy at Kuldin) and Arlax never becomes a place I can travel to.

For me, I had an encounter in the Slums District: a genie appeared and told Drizzt to go to Arlax.

This happened after I finished the Slavers quest and entered the Slums area, so the encounter must be time-triggered.

I still can't get to Arlax. I remember the djinni appearing and world map was updated but I have had Drizzt and Wulfie for a while now. I completed all of the quests in Westchar. I did notice after looking at areas and CLUAing to some RAxxxx's, RA4900 allowed me to go to Arlax. I am trying not to ruin any surprises so I was just looking at other areas and where I can get to Arlax. Can anyone tell me what RA4900 is related to (questwise) because maybe I can do that and then go to Arlax? Really trying to avoid the CLUA approach and accomplish the quests normally.

Hmmmmm.... I think it must be an incompatibility issue with the Worldmap 6.6 or something don't know for sure though, but I got the exact same problem with Westchar and now its completely greyed and I can never go there unless I clua. Many days passed btw and its supposed to be selectable by now.

anyone can tell me the Westchar Area code?

Did you try from an area outside of Athkatla? Maybe De'Arnise or windspear. Try and create creature (ryonn) again and that might spawn the quest. Obviously you got the dialog from Ryon that asks for your help but maybe if you spawn him again you will update your map properly. I had to do this repeat technique once to get to Purskal (TDD). When I bought the map , worldmap was updated but no Purskal. I respawned him and bought the map again and Voila! I think I have the same major installation as you with the exception of some small stuff and Westchar works fine. I am trying to find workarounds (in game bugfixes) and not relying on CLUA too much as I know you are too, Radagast ;) I think the area is RA3900 in case you don't want the BS. BTW can you get to Arlax??

edit: Just had to play a bit longer. It opened up from Talavan Castle. Sorry for being impatient.

Okz thanx for the suggestions I havent gone yet to Windspear or Dearnise but maybe ill try respawing Ryonn I guess /sigh.

As for Arlax ye i got there fast and perfectly no problems at all on that part. Dont know why u can't get there :S I went to Arlax from city gates if im not mistaken.

I'm working with an older build of the mega-install (from last year), but had the same problems. It was a worldmap problem that was bypassed with a lot of cluaing around. Thought that these problems were solved with the new worldmap, better check with erebusant to be sure though.

It may not be one mod, but the problems may happen from globals not being updated or whatever controls the updating of the worldmap. Arlax freed up after I got the dialog in the Government dist. at 1mill XP and rep at 13. That is the check to get the Talavan castle help quest. Everything has been peachy since then. I suggested spawning again because that helped me a couple times. The first time it says the worldmap is updated but got nothing. Respawn and then that triggers it.
I like that better than CLUAing to the upper armpit corner of the mapsquare

Yes that's true. Some of the quests and access to areas are level based. The Arena and Icewind Dale are, as well as Talavan 's castle. Maybe Arlax is too, I'll try respawning to double check next time it crops up.
