Heya there

The Vault seems to overwrite the Bandit Camp Hobgob Archer, Hakt's inventory and replace his LongBow of Marksmanship to a Bastard Sword +1. Not a problem by itself but within the BWP, it causes an incompatibility of sorts with the Thalantyr's item upgrade mod which needs the Bow for a recipe. I dunno if the Bow can be found somewhere else in BGI though

But since Hakt's Weapon2 slot contains a Bastard Sword already, it seems a waste to give him another +1 sword in Weapon1, so I proposed a temporary change in the .tp2 here to preserve the bow AND give him something to become tougher Hope this gets sorted out

Thanks,
Lol

Commented out.

The item BLUNDAG.ITM is reported by Miloch's CRE Fixer as

wilf	blundag	0x12	Item of wrong type 44 in weapon slot

I believe it should be of type 17 as any other club.

[Miloch]

Wielding an item type of "club" will crash the game (found this out the hard way, before I dug around in the IESDP archives and found this was known, even though it's not indicated in the actual IESDP that I recall). So yeah, clubs have to be designated as "maces" (though they can have the club proficiency).

I screwed up the quest with Zernan and the stolen book. After the meeting at Friendly Arm inn I went straight to Naskel mines found nothing there, then finally caught up with him at Nashkell, also find his contract at the carnival, but after all of these events there is nothing at the mines I went though the whole 3-4 times look at every corner!!!!

are the items from this mod supposed to be using the old BG1 proficiencies?

The original mod was built for BG1 & Tutu. I only ported it over for use with BGT. I didn't do a lot of work on the items in the course of doing so.

[AndrewB]

I can go through the weapons in DLTCEP and update the proficiencies for them, if you like. I was going to do it so the weapons made sense on my install anyway. Maybe you can include them as a seperate option or something, so the player can choose which proficiency system they would like the weapons under. If I was to do that, is there anything I need to know in order to keep the descriptions straight?

You need to change the .tra files for the descriptions, not just the .itm files for the proficiencies. I would just make them all BG2 proficiencies. If someone wants to use the BG1 system from Tweaks or whatever, Tweaks can worry about patching descriptions.

Seems there's still a typo in the .tp2 related to the Venkt crash (see here). Around line 2249, this is the culprit:

REPLACE_CRE_ITEM ~DART03~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~QUIVER1~

Well first of all, darts don't go in quivers and second of all, they need at least 1 charge. I'd recommend replacing it with this:

REPLACE_CRE_ITEM ~DART03~ #10 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~WEAPON3~

Also, in places you're specifying #20 charges for darts, I'd put a space after that and the next #0 (might not be strictly necessary, but might as well be safe).

Two things. First, is this mod still compatible with a vanilla BG1 game?

Reading this page, no.

***Possible spoiler***







Secondly, I too always wind up not getting my book back. I get to the Nashkel Mines after Zernan and the Mysterious Man encounters and wipeout all of the enemies at the mines only to find the final level/Mulahay's room empty and no book to be found anywhere. Ive searched the forums for an answer to this problem but I cannot find a solution to the problem. (This includes a "walkthrough" linked in the forum but did not state how to fix this or what I may have done wrong).
Ive run this mod as the only add-on to my BG1 game and still run into the problem with no indication of a problem from WeiDu or error reports.

Thanks.

To answer question #1 - No. The BGT compatible version is compatible with BGT only.
To address question #2, I've completed a run-through for bug-fixing and will be releasing a updated version of the Vault for BGT once I get the other Major Mod updates released. Not sure of a timetable, but most likely sometime this summer.

[The Arcanamach]

Thanks for the replies. Another question. Is the Vault compatible with SCS's 'Harder Red Wizards' component? (The Vault modifies the encounter with them in the spider/ettercap infested map). I'll ask this over at G3 as well if need be.

Hello Erebusant,

I played to the Vault and finish 3 quests without a bug: the vault's quest, the vestibule's quest and the return to nashkel's quest.
In Gullykin's quest, I met Kharaz after visiting Gullykin's village. I've got the dialogue with Kharaz, but no dialogue with Gullykin's mayor; actually I didn't see him. I think I visited all the map, but he's nowhere.
But we know that there's some dialogues with him in the french translation:

Quote

@39 = ~<CHARNAME>! It is a terrible time for Gullykin! We are beset by a tribe of vicious ogres under the command of one ogre magi called Kharaz! They demand that the village be vacated as it will be the site of their new encampment! Already we have sent two couriers to seek help but they have been intercepted and murdered. Please, you must help us! They continue to pour in numbers, maiming the people and destroying our property...~

@41 = ~The village of Gullykin is under siege from a band of ogres led by a magi called Kharaz. The ogres seem to number in the hundreds, with waves and waves and waves of raiding parties laying waste to the village and its inhabitants, but I have told Gandolar that I will see what I can do to remedy the situation.~

@45 = ~This Kharaz you mentioned, Gandolar. Have you seen him?~

Even Kharaz has a special dialogue about this:

Quote

@0 = ~So, the halflings will not bow to my will and have decided to send you, have they? Haha! It matters little for I will crush you cattle and claim Gullykin as my own!~

Do you know how and when does this quest begin ?

There is an issue between BGT and Vault where after you have completed the Firewine ruins Gandolar Luckyfoot uses an EscapeAreaDestroy(90). I probably need to alter the dialog so Gandolar goes to "RandomWalk" instead of escaping. This is a known bug I am aware of.

[Graoumf]

Ok, thanks.

I received this translation pack in my PM to ilot. I think it was another server error so here it is in case someone is looking for it.

'kthxbye', on 29 October 2009 - 10:30 AM, said:

About the traps my thief isn't able to detect: I've encountered other traps which I can detect but can't disarm. I've checked with NI, and no trap should be undetectable and/or permanent. My thief is an illusionist 8/thief 8 with 80 skill points in disarm traps, plus some items that bring that value up to 135. Still, I get the "trap not disarmed" string and the trap fires. I've tried using Imoen's Artifact (from BG1NPC) to give her +1 dexterity, and using a potion of perception (for a grand total of another 25 points of disarm trap if I remember right the bonus from high dexterity), and again I get the "trap not disarmed" string. NearInfinity says that the trap in that area varies from 90 to be detected and 90 to be disarmed, to 100 to be detected and 100 to be disarmed so I can't explain that behavior.
Also, one of the traps I couldn't disarm started triggering every 30 seconds or so, firing a fireball on the trap, while there was no one on there.

Fixed.

Well, I'm having the same problem as kthxbye, and I do have the 7.1 version installed. I installed the game in July, this year, so according to this post of being 'fixed', I probably shouldn't be having this problem. It's getting real frustrating trying to play through the game and constantly setting off these undetectable/non-disarmable traps.

A German gamer reported the following:

With "The Vault" I've a misspelled dialogue with the ghost of Ulcaster.
If I talk with him more then once (that must be do), he said the following:
"What it is with these mines? You cleared it of those little dogs weeks ago and now we've got a spider infestation!"
I think I should get this dialogue from someone in Nashkell...

Greetings Leomar

Fixed locally...run the attached...it's only in english so you'll need to translate it for other language installs...

Quote

I've already updated all of the traified translations in my local package from the portion of @164 that contains it. Once I finish playing through to check for other bugs I'll upload a new version. Players just need to translate the string in the patch until then.

I would like to know if that problem about "Ghost fo Ulcaster" is fixed in the last version (7.1)

Thanks

Finished The Vault, beautiful mod, already seems to play Baldur's II, in Baldur's I!
Just some notes:
Why are there no in-game clues about the new quests introduced by the mod? If nothing shows me that there is a new quest in Gullykin, how the hell ( ) do I know, when I am in the moment in the other side of the world? I can not re-explore the entire map again!

- In "Return to Nashkell" is quite complicated to follow the elf that stole the book and then retrieve it ... the clues are too few, sometimes makes it necessary to re-explore several areas already explored in earlier ...
- "Vestibule" but it is necessary that, with Edwin in group, they attack you immediately?
- In "Gullykin Ogre" is a bug or intentional the huge amount of orcs that attack you? I have a new pc, but although the area was jerky, a clear sign of the huge amount of creatures that were waiting for me ... I think I did something like 100 out of ogres of all types (some even 1300xp ...) and a score of ogre magi, Just to kill the boss and leave the area!
- There should be a quest called "The Vault" but I have not yet found a trace, nor do I know everything about ... (or The Vault is Torqion quest?)

Mini walkthrough for The Vault

How to get the sword Vampire's Revenge:
- Have the idol from the dig site area
- Have the broken armor from beneath the Firewine Bridge or from Castle Daethmac if you have Dark Side of the Sword Coast installed
- complete the quest from Ulcaster's ghost
- speak to Ulcaster's ghost several times
