I have a bug with Haiass:

When I try to resurrect him, the game crashes. But not always. It usually functions two or three, maybe even five times, then the next time *poof* -> game end. It's not tied to the Vampiric Wolf transformation, since I got that two or three times "successfully". Also, if I reload the save after a crash and try again immediately, the game *always* crashes again, but if I play on and try some time later, it may work again. Or not.

Any insight into this?

This is a BWP installation with almost all of the Tactical mods installed, as well as two or three of the Expert group.

With the dog bone, if I remember anything about the test I made back in the day. The bone should be left behind if Haiass gets it good(aka, dies).

So i cannot ressurect him? is that what you are saying? I have the bone and have identified it.

Well, look at the bone(the identified description), you need to have a Cleric or a Druid that is able to use it(or any multi-class of them, as long as it doesn't have a barbarian heritage)... in the belt slot(just like any potion, scrolls etc misc items).

Yey, let's screw up another test install for this...

Does haiass give you away when you are a thief hiding in the shadows? Can i make him stay still he just follows me all the time. Sometimes i dont want him too.

I think you can tell him to "stay" (as you would a dog) via initiated dialogue, but it's been a while since I've tested this.

I'd think someone (*cough* *Jarno* *cough*) could've said this, but as with any crash, post the contents of your baldur.err file. Offhand, I can't think of anything that would cause an erratic crash unless some spell mod messed with the resurrect spell animations or something.

Would it be related to this block in HAIASS.bcs??

Yes, it should probably be EVILCUTOFF instead (i.e. non-party members). I didn't touch the script, or even look at it closely .

Edit: and actually, he shouldn't go Enemy() either, which makes him hostile to the PC, but attack the LastAttackerOf(). I suppose maybe he could yelp or bark if he's attacked by the party, unless he's attacked several times, at which point, being a wolf, he would probably bite.

Just fiddling around with this to get the script working on my PC, as it doesn't look like it ever got patched. I'm not much of a IE scripter though. As was mentioned back in April, this is the bit that's causing the problem.

IF
        AttackedBy([GOODCUTOFF],DEFAULT)
        !Allegiance(Myself,ENEMY)
THEN
        RESPONSE #100
                Enemy()
END

From what Miloch said regarding that, I've changed it to

IF
  AttackedBy([EVILCUTOFF],DEFAULT)
  !Allegiance(Myself,ENEMY)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    AttackReevaluate(LastAttackerOf(Myself),30)
END

Will that have the desired effect of stopping him attacking the party, or is it all going to go horribly wrong in a different way?

Very cool mod, btw. I love my new wolfie pal!

It should work, though you don't even really need the ENEMY check. If by some rare chance he's an enemy to the party and the party's enemy attacked him, you think he'd still go after the latter first.

I suppose I should update this mod, sigh. There's this script, a Russian translation and a check to see if you can have him wait for you (which I think is already in). The resurrection thing just seems to be user error (it works if you do it correctly). If there's anything else buried up in this thread or elsewhere, I'd appreciate letting me know.

For an update please use new updated russian tra.

Ok, but can you translate the actual readme (which isn't long)? The Readme-rus.txt is only 4 lines of text or so. I guess I could link it anyway (the README %language% command needs something to link to), but it seems like more of an advertisement for your modding community than a description of the mod (Not that I can read DOS-based or any other form of Russian ).

Edit: Also, the new setup.tra still contains English strings, but the old one does not... are you sure you got them right?

There's ... a check to see if you can have him wait for you (which I think is already in).

This must also be in there already, since there is this line in the .tra:

@23 = ~Haiass, I want you to remain here patiently. I will return for you.~

And also, you might be able to get him to sneak by using this:

@30 = ~I want you to hide as soon as you see enemies.~

Though I have not really tested that - has anyone? I could also set it so the wolf auto-sneaks if the PC does so. (Wolves ought to be able to sneak since they can stalk deer and such well enough, no?)

Anyway, I guess I will just be adding these two items to the readme (need translated into German and French):

2.3
- Revised Haiass's script
- Added Russian translation

[prowler]

Miloch, all work is done. Russian readme translated + translation of mod. Please, use this archive.
As for some lines in English, don't bother. It's component's names. We prefer english weidu.log - so it's better to recieve feedback when problem appearing. With russian weidu log only a few people can help. But with english weidu log - all shs can help

Well I haven't heard back from Immortality, but I'll attach the new version here for now. She can just upload it (here) when she gets to it.

2.3 - Revised Haiass's script
- Added Russian translation by Arcanecoast.ru

Haiass will now also auto-sneak when the main character is hidden/invis. I figure a good hunting dog should be at least able to do that (stalking its prey, as it were).

The wolf shouldn't turn hostile if hit by the party either. It might bite whoever hit it, but usually it'll just growl or run off a bit and whine . Of course, it could still get charmed by an enemy and used against the party potentially - didn't change that.

Thank you for the update!

I modified the first post to mention this update.

I'm not in a position to test (and probably won't be for some time, particularly not on Wine) but why does it work on Windows but not Wine? Are you using just Haiass or any other mod?

I doubt this is Haiass alone but any mod that uses the PartyHasItem() trigger, because it checks all bags. And a whole lot of mods use that - try grepping all the .d and .baf files in your mod folder for the trigger and you'll see what I mean. So I imagine the same test with any such mod would return the same results. It could be recoded (rather clumsily) to avoid checking bags, but I wouldn't want to overhaul that without more testing.

Edit: tack Generalised Biffing onto your install if you haven't - most folks report this goes away or diminishes at least with biffing.

Some freakiness going on here

Also, while looking at that, I noticed something that might cause... things

HAI1.BAF:

IF
  See("Haiass")
  OR(2)
    Global("HaiassLevel","GLOBAL",1)
    Global("HaiassLevel","GLOBAL",2)
  AreaCheck("AR7900")
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    ClearAllActions()
    StartCutSceneMode()
    StartCutScene("hai3")
    SetGlobal("HaiassLevel","GLOBAL",3)
    EscapeAreaNoSee()
END

... so if that script fires Haiass becomes lvl3 if she gets to AR7900 irrespective of whether she's lvl1 or 2
and JUGUE.baf:

IF
  See(Protagonist)
  NumTimesTalkedTo(0)
  Global("HaiassLevel","GLOBAL",3)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    MakeGlobal()
    SetGlobal("HaiassSeUne","GLOBAL",1)
    SetGlobal("HaiassQuieto","GLOBAL",0)
    SetGlobal("HaiassJumpOn","GLOBAL",1)
    SetGlobal("HaiassDesdeBg","GLOBAL",0)
    Dialogue(Protagonist)
    TakePartyItem("jugue2")
    DestroyItem("jugue2") 
    TakePartyItem("jugue3")
    DestroyItem("jugue3") 
    GiveItemCreate("jugue3",Player1,0,0,0)
END

... just the script that gives CHARNAME the chewtoy for her current level Everything fine...

... except notice how it doesn't TakePartyItem("JUGUE1") <- Haiass' lvl1 Chewtoy

So, to summarize, in the extremely improbable case that someone manages to get a lvl1 Haiass to AR7900, they get a lvl3 Haiass - but the lvl1 chewtoy still remains in the inventory along with the lvl3 chewtoy! 1 slot less for imba itamz (the script pattern is similar for lvls 3, 4 & 5)

Checks for all the bottom level JUGUE.ITMs in those GiveItemCreate blocks in JUGUE.baf should help I guess

So... you should be able to fix it, eh? My mod maintenance time is virtually nil lately (especially for other people's mods, though I make exceptions when I do find time...)

[Lollorian]

I haven't tested this but I guess it should work... theoretically Attaching it here as well...

Btw, any clue what's happening in the other thread I linked in my last post? Can they fire simultaneously even?

Hi, I missed a point when Haiass should get another stage. ( Stage 3 ). I think he was dead or invisible at the time. How to fix ot ?
Tx

[Miloch]

If he was dead, you have to resurrect him by means of the bone. Invisibility shouldn't matter (but if it does, let me know). I think the readme file has the locations where you take him through to level him up. So just take him through again, alive preferably.

Edit: eh, probably missed your last post Lollorian - let me know if it's still an issue .
