After Saerk says a few opening words, nothing happens. I think that Surayah is supposed to answer, but she is not present in the area. I tried to CLUA her in, but she just disappears. Any solutions?

I managed to solve it. The problem was in CBSURAYW.BCS, which caused Surayah to autodestruct.

1. Snowflake mountains - when attempting to transition from the 1st to the 2nd area the game crashes, with an assertion failed error message. The only way for a player to circumvent this is to move to the wanted area using cluaconsole.
2. "Silenced Melinda" quest - there are errors in Melinda's .dlg file. There are more than a few dialog options that should trigger on CBMelindaSilenced=1, instead they trigger on CBMelindaSilenced=0, hence they never trigger, resulting in a "Melinda has nothing to say to you" annoying bug. Replacing CBMelindaSilenced=0 with CBMelindaSilenced=1 in her .dlg file will fix the problem.

Also Ryberg: after speaking with the uncle, Ryberg got stuck in a dialog loop, because a variable that should have been incremented (I can't remember which one exactly, but opening Ryberg's .dlg file will show the variable that is supposed to be incremented after uncle's vanishing effects) when the uncle vanished. I solved it by incrementing the variable before uncle's vanishing effects.

I've just completed the quest, but not before encountering and circumventing some game-breaking bugs:
1. An animation of the fight between Elenor and Khaddyr halts, because Khaddyr kills Elenor with Cone of Cold, or Incendiary Cloud or Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting. This is a consequence of having a Spell-50 mode installed, making those spells more powerful when cast by Khaddyr, who is a high level mage. Solution is to edit these spells out of the animation script.
2. If your character has a fake crown of thorns, but fails to convince Khaddyr, Khaddyr "has nothing to say to you". Khaddyr's dialog file needs to be edited to prevent that.
3. Problems with Cromwell's .dlg and .bcs concerning the destruction of the crown. Currently, the only way the crown destruction dialog options can be activated if the main character has never talked to Cromwell before. Additional triggers need to be added to wsmith01.dlg to enable the quest to complete. However, this is not all. Cromwell takes the crown, destroys it and proceeds to do so in an infinite loop. This is due to a faulty wsmith01.bcs file. Adding additional variable checks and increments to wsmith01.bcs fixes this problem.

Hello, I'm french and fan of BG2.
I installed BG-BP with Check The Bodies, but i have already encountered some problems.
First some items are bugging, often causing the game to crash if they are used : The Ring of Dragons, found with Compagny of Eight and the Blast Scepter found on Khaddyr. The Ice Necklace of The Ulutium doesn't work very well too, i'm afraid.
I encountered some crashes when loading some areas of CtB, but when reloading it worked.
For the quests now :
I bought my property in the "snowy mountain" but nothing happened when i went here (except a crash, of course
)
In "Of elves and artifacts", The Elve die fighting Khaddyr after i meet her in the temple. I don't know where to find the crown, and Cromwell can't make it (i have the items, but the crown is missing, but where is it ???). If i don't talk to Khaddyr and that my creatures kill him and his boduguard, i can load the map again and kill him again (and again, and again i imagine). Nothing force the dialogue when creatures attacks.
Melynda remains speakless, even if i bought items... And i speak Cowled Wizards after meeting her for the first time...
That's not all and that's not least...
More to following but not much more i hope...

All the maps in Academy of Kuldin(sp?) have script to adjust monsters based on party level. They mistake LevelParty as returning the sum of all levels of party members, but instead it returns the highest level of party members, so the higher level flags don't ever get set. A full party of 6 will almost always get Iron Golems spawning, and never the demons. Also, the code to do this is at the top of most area scripts and don't have any mechanism to prevent them from constantly being set, so none of the area specific codes ever get triggered.

CtB's SPIN518.SPL overwrites NeJ version (an innate for Priest of Sylanis kit). I renamed CtB's version:
CtB.TP2
search for 'SPIN518', change this line:
Change the Halberd line:
If there are other files that need changing, let us know.
CtB.TP2
search for 'SPIN518', change this line:
\CtB\2da\copy\CBCWTHE4.2DACOPY ~CtB/spells/translate/SPIN518.SPL~ ~override/CBIN518.SPL~
Change the Halberd line:
ADV_ENCHANT_HALBERD CBIN518 3
If there are other files that need changing, let us know.

Which DestroySelf() is wrong?
(First Attempt at NI, sorry if i say something useless)
I've seen two, erasing the second one didn't change anything, but it went alright when i deleted the first one, somehow related with anomen's quest. (I already had done anomen's quest, ended it up in the "good" way, but didn't have Anomen in my party when I went to Saerk's Mansion.
There's a workaround, without NI, but it needs a good timing:
Pause the game in the doorway of the diner room (ytou should'nt see saerk). CLUA his daughter in, and order one of your character to talk to her before pausing off. If you don't go talk to her, she will disappear immediatly. While then, get your main character to talk to saerk...

Hi, I am just installing CtB 1.8 on a clean patched BGFixpacked Tob and although the installation went smoothly, it displayed approximately twenty instances of a typo error during the installation- is that known/OK?

"This expression has a typo in ..." - you'll see this happen in a lot of mods (see the DEBUG files in your game folder).
This is known, and it is not a problem.

Yes, I saw it during the installation of most of the mods I was installing. One of these days, I will have to learn myself to code

And Zannaster is unkillable.I had the same problem with the DeArnise Trolls, and I managed to get through thanks to the mindflayer cheat described here , but it doesn't seems to work on zannaster, due to his protections. Is there something i could do to see him dead ?

Hi everyone
I've recently installed Check the Bodies and I'm getting a couple of problems. They may well have nothing to do with CtB as I have a few other mods installed, but I thought it couldn't hurt to post them here and see if they're problems that anyone else has encountered.
Basically I'm having problems completing the normal BG2 quests. I've killed the Unseeing Eye, as per usual, but upon reaching the surface the Tallosians all attack me for "working with the fiend" or something to that effect. I wouldn't mind, but I'm a priest so thats my stronghold quest. Killing everyone involved and moving on doesn't seem to be a particularly good option. Also the Planar Sphere never actually moves to Hell now, which means no Demon Heart and no completed quest.
As I say, these may have nothing whatsoever to do with CtB. Do these issues seem familiar to anyone?
Thanks!
