To let you know:

If one is teleported after SoBH (part 1) back on the mainland in the temple, one becomes - one leaves the temple - from a magician appealed who wants to have the staff of the dragon's cult (which one has found not far from the Beholder) absolutely. He sends then his mercenaries on me, remains self reflected neutrally and tries, to flee and to leave the blood work to his mercenaries. Unfortunately, were fine 2 skull traps, a fireball and a death cloud too much for him, so that also he dies.

Later in Baldurs Gate (part of town A) I was demanded once more by him (he lives again) and again he send his mercenaries on me. This time he fled - once more neutrally minded - successfully.

I've heard this magician shows up three times. For this it sound like, the magician needs unkillable until his third real fight?

Sounds like the gamer has some really high powered weaponry on hand for that 1st encounter that a level 5-6 party might normally not have at this point in the game. Sounds like a fairly rare occurence that you can even kill Shargrailar the 1st meeting. I'll look at perhaps having a minhp item installed on him if it occurs regularly. I'm usually lucky to get an arrow off at him when I meet him before he is gone.

In a megamod you don't know really when the gamer get to the confrontation and what powers he have at this time (or it is only luck ). So it looks like it is a good idea you mentioned for such encounters.

A gamer reports:

In SoBH v231FullWM7/235 is the same error again, that Sirius (the thief in the lighthouse) has a wrong named override script. This causes in BG2, that Gaal is immediately hostile and one can't play the beholderquest regulary.

In file BHSIRIUS.CRE must be entered the BHSHOUT2.BCS for the override script. The script BHSHOUT.BCS is a script for BG2. I've played often the game with these changes and have no problems with that anymore.

A gamer reports:

The west exit from ?waste-wood? to the bonehill moved to the south. However, in the map view still the old exit is indicated in the west.

Another gamer reports:

If I go to the ranger in the ?waste wood?, comes as soon as I to him has said "why I am there" as an answer possibility only
"No Valid Replies or Links"

I hope this additional information from a gamer helps:

With me the answer possibility "No valid replies or links!" also came with Martin, the ranger in the ?waste wood? (in German Ödenwald) and with Almax, the druid to Restenfurt.
I have looked the dialogue possibilities with Martin by IE. The player ordinarily had to go, if he has already made this, can say that he has defeated the ogre's magician. On it news with which Martin sends the group to Almax will create.
The answer possibility concerning the dead ogre's magician never appeared with me, nevertheless, but only above.

Additional informations: The gamers played SoBH v231FullWM7/235 in German. Could be an error of the German translation?

I'll take a closer look at this when I get to that point in the game I'm just beginning. In the meantime, here is how the dialog begins in the English version:
BEGIN ~BHMARTIN~

IF ~NumberOfTimesTalkedTo(0)~ THEN BEGIN 0 // from:
  SAY @1 /* ~I trust you have a good reason to be here!~ #155936 */ 
  IF ~GlobalGT("BHDruidQuest","GLOBAL",0)~ THEN REPLY @2 /* ~Yes, Almax sent us.~ #155937 */ GOTO 1
  IF ~~ THEN REPLY @3 /* ~Not really, are you playing with rocks?~ #155938 */ GOTO 2
  IF ~~ THEN REPLY @4 /* ~Sigh. Another idiot that wants to die. So be it. Draw steel, fool!~ #155939 */ GOTO 3
END

1. Martin initiates dialog with SAY @1.
2. If you got the quest to search for Martin from Almax, you should have the option given by the 1st IF statement, as well as the 2nd and 3rd.
3. If you haven't spoken to Almax about Martin yet, you should still get the options to reply with the 2nd and 3rd IF statements.

Can you check your dialog and see if the options are there?

I'll look into it and ask the gamer, too.

UUps. Sorry for the wrong posting.

BEGIN ~BHMARTIN~

Here the additional report of the gamer:

The conversation entrance properly functioned, because I had already spoken with Almax, all three conversation options came.

I: "Yes, Almax sent us!" (response 0)
Martin: "Almax, well then you have come from Restenfurth.... (phrase 1)
I: "Almax mentioned that he the connection with You lost... (response 3)
Martin: "Humph, well possibly, we need..." (phrase 5)
And now only: "No valid links or replies!"
There I had already defeated the Gnolls and the ogre's magician, now I would have had to get a conversation option which also says this. (response 15)

I see just, prerau's settlement for responses 15 is "BHGnollQuest""Global",1!

Because I was before my conversation with Martin once again in Restenfurth, I had already reported to my principals (Peltar and Yalta) my victory over the Gnolls and the ogre's magician. Maybe it is thereby changed variable and Martin does not recognise therefore any more that I have already solved the quest?!?

Like it exactly with Almax was I cannot say any more. Though I have just looked the dialogues with Almax, but I cannot construct the exact expiry any more. It was approximate in such a way:
1. Conversation with Almax: Everything normally, Quest to find Martin accepted.
2. Conversation: The conversation option that I have found Martin does not appear, but "no valid links or replies".

Hi erebusant,

in our German forum the gamers played all your ressurected mods and wrote overviews and tell about bugs. I think it will be helpfull for all, if I let you know, what the German gamers wrotes, so you can see what they think and which bugs they have found, etc.. I'll start with SoBH today:

I have to announce a small error in SoBH part 2 once more. If one is from Garotten back and announces Pelltar the result, he takes away both documents. Without Qualtons letter one cannot talk with him about that and the Quest firmly hangs.

Moreover, I still have the "Attacks of the Gnolls" and "The theft from the warehouse" Quests in the journal, although are processed and finished.

I'm not sure if this was said before but I'll just post it here .

Part 1

When you talk with Almax over surrounding areas and he has nothing more to say about them but you ask anyway a NVLOR comes up. Also when you find out about the spy (can't remember his name) and then you kill him and want to give his journal to Pelltar the NVLOR comes up. However if you take the journal to Pelltar before you kill him all goes well. Hope this helps in some way. As usual weidu, first post .

[Ascalon]

I did everything in the first part of the, well, first part of Bonehill, Gelpas appears, accuses me to have stolen the pearl, I went north, fought the bandits, searched the books for a clue, went into the Sewers, found the stuff, but the Lighthouse didn't open. So I went looking for the Corpse of the Lighthouse Guard, found him, Lighthouse still not open. Went to Pellvar and he just sent me back. I didn't enter the Lighthouse at all but everybody celebrates me as the Hero.
