In the joy of the Beregost bug being fixed I thought I would finally do a new playthrough of the Baldur's Gate series. I have now reached Baldur's Gate and thought I would report some small problems I have noticed along the way in the hope they might be fixed in the future. Some of the problems might be introduced by the mods I have installed and in that case I apologize for blaming BGT...

1. Candlekeep - Battle in storage cellars - "Oil of speed" from illusionary Deder isn't removed when leaving cellar.

2. Candlekeep - "Find a Potion of Antidote for Dreppin" - He doesn't just take one potion, he takes the entire stack if you have several Antidote potions.

3. Journal Entry - Done Quests - "To mug a bard, or to mug a mug." - "We were been hired by a woman named Silke to protect her from some thugs hired out by a man named Feldepost." should be something like "We were hired by a woman named Silke to protect her from some thugs hired by a man named Feldepost." for a bit better English (although English isn't my native language so please correct me if you disagree).

4. When you remove Garrick from the party he immediately wants to rejoin instead of making a goodbye speech.

5. Eastern Cloud Peak Mountains - Both Zal and Vax had double Bandit Scalps on them. Raiken in Peldvale and Taugosz and Credus in the Bandit Camp also had double scalps.

6. If you talk to Emerson , the mine foreman, after leaving the Nashkel Mine you get a journal entry about seeing the mayor for a reward even if you have already collected the reward making the entry permanent.

7. The Long Sword "The Vampire's Revenge" has "Proficiency Type: Large Sword" in its description.

8. Spelling - Journal Entry - Done Quests - "Find the scroll of wisdom." - Should be essence instead of eseence.

9. Gerde's quest - She never thinks I have killed enough Ankhegs. Is this a BG1NPC or BGT bug? Reported earlier here and the workaround at the end helped: http://www.shsforums...-quest-bgt-109/

10. Spelling - Journal Entry - Done Quests - "In want of bandit scalps." - to make a report on a matter of eliminating bandits threat -> to make a report on the matter of eliminating the bandits threat.

11. The Two Handed Sword "Spider's Bane" has "Proficiency Type: Large Sword" in its description.

12. Lucky Aello's Discount Store sells a cursed scroll named "Short Sword of Backstabbing: 'The Shadow's Blade'.

That's all so far... A big thank you to all involved in the past, present and future for making BGT such a great experience.

Thanks for the heads up. Please do keep in mind that your mod combination may be involved in some of these, so that some are not strictly BGT bugs.

10. Spelling - Journal Entry - Done Quests - "In want of bandit scalps." - to make a report on a matter of eliminating bandits threat -> to make a report on the matter of eliminating the bandits threat.

Hi!

I would suggest:

" - to make a report on matter of eliminating the bandit threat."

Thanks!

Hi!

I would suggest:

" - to make a report on matter of eliminating the bandit threat."

Thanks!

And I'd call your suggestion and raise it with "to make a report on the matter of eliminating the bandit threat"


In effect, just changing "bandits" -> "bandit" in hook's original suggestion.

Some "cosmetic" errors in BGT:
Arkion takes among other bodies MISC79, Raissa's skin, which is found in AR7326 and AR7324. It should be BGMISC79, female body, in all three cases.

Moreover I don't see how you could get the following script block to run, as that timer is only set within the response:

IF
	Time(DUSK_END)
	GlobalTimerExpired("A6Sunset","GLOBAL")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		StartMovie("BGSUNSET")
		SetGlobalTimer("A6Sunset","GLOBAL",FIVE_TURNS)
END

This

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("laola","GLOBAL",1)
	Global("LaolaSpawn","GLOBAL",0)
	GlobalLT("Chapter","GLOBAL",<img src='http://www.shsforums.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />
	!Exists("LAOLA")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("LAOLA",[3656.1458],0) // Laola Axehand
		SetGlobal("LaolaSpawn","GLOBAL",1)
		Continue()
END

will not execute when you exit the Seven Suns. It will only execute when you return from an area where an autosave is created. Removing OnCreation() enables Laola Axehand immediately after exiting the Seven Suns and makes her appearance more believable than before.

Fixed the other bugs except these:

4. When you remove Garrick from the party he immediately wants to rejoin instead of making a goodbye speech.

Not BGT, although it could be a sporadic bug where the KickedOut variable isn't set properly.

5. Eastern Cloud Peak Mountains - Both Zal and Vax had double Bandit Scalps on them. Raiken in Peldvale and Taugosz and Credus in the Bandit Camp also had double scalps.

Compatibility issue not involving BGT. In vanilla BGT, none of these fellow have scalps at all.

6. If you talk to Emerson , the mine foreman, after leaving the Nashkel Mine you get a journal entry about seeing the mayor for a reward even if you have already collected the reward making the entry permanent.

Not BGT. In BGT, Emerson does not give you such journal entry

9. Gerde's quest - She never thinks I have killed enough Ankhegs. Is this a BG1NPC or BGT bug? Reported earlier here and the workaround at the end helped: http://www.shsforums...-quest-bgt-109/

I don't think this is BGT anymore - tested under vanilla. Does any other mod modify this quest?

12. Lucky Aello's Discount Store sells a cursed scroll named "Short Sword of Backstabbing: 'The Shadow's Blade'.

Compatibility issue.

13. Arkion takes among other bodies MISC79, Raissa's skin, which is found in AR7326 and AR7324. It should be BGMISC79, female body, in all three cases.

Not BGT. Funnily enough, in BGT vanilla Arkion takes only MISC80.

Moreover I don't see how you could get the following script block to run, as that timer is only set within the response:

Timer runs because on first check, the timer is expired (i.e. not set). The FIVE_TURNS is only to prevent the movie from running back-to-back.

Laola

Reluctant to change this one. This script was in BG:TotSC. Making it more believable would be a tweak in my opinion.

Did a change-log on arkion.dlg

00000: /* from game biffs */ ~SETUP-BGT.TP2~ 0 0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core: 1.09 (8 May 10)
00001: /* from game biffs */ ~BG1NPC.TP2~ 0 1 // The BG1 NPC Project: Banters, Quests, and Interjections: v18 BWP Fix
00002: ~BG1UB/SETUP-BG1UB.TP2~ 0 11 // Scar and the Sashenstar's Daughter: v12 BWP Tweak

If I understand the code of BG1UB correctly it takes different versions of ubscar.d depending on the game your installing it on (BG1,BGT,UB).

bg1ub\scar\BGT\ubscar.d

has %tutu_var%'s, as those won't be present in BGT, the following code

APPEND %tutu_var%ARKION
IF WEIGHT #0 ~Global("HelpArkion","GLOBAL",0)
PartyHasItem("%tutu_var%MISC79")~ THEN BEGIN EitherBody
 SAY @0
 IF ~PartyHasItem("%tutu_var%MISC79")~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("HelpArkion","GLOBAL",1) TakePartyItem("%tutu_var%MISC79") GivePartyGold(250) AddexperienceParty(1800)~ EXIT
END

will evaluate to

APPEND ARKION
IF WEIGHT #0 ~Global("HelpArkion","GLOBAL",0)
PartyHasItem("MISC79")~ THEN BEGIN EitherBody
 SAY @0
 IF ~PartyHasItem("MISC79")~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("HelpArkion","GLOBAL",1) TakePartyItem("MISC79") GivePartyGold(250) AddexperienceParty(1800)~ EXIT
END

thus using Raissa's skin.

Lines 1640 and 1697 from setup-bg1ub.tp2
WRITE_EVALUATED_ASCII myItmOff ~%tutu_var%MISC79~ #8 // Female body
insert Raissa's skin in a BGT installation in the sewer areas.

Possibly from BGT Tweaks' "More Bandit Scalps" component?

Here we are. I don't maintain these mods anymore, but if someone adds code for cross-detection to BGT Tweak, I can upload the new version.

A bit confused by this one. It's in EMERS2.DLG and if I do a change-log on it I only get BGT.

Arkion takes among other bodies MISC79, Raissa's skin, which is found in AR7326 and AR7324. It should be BGMISC79, female body, in all three cases.

Very good catch, this will be changed in the next version of BG1UB.

This is already included in v12.

I would be very happy if things like this would be posted into the original mod's forum, too, in the future. I usually don't read (every) "my BGT playthrough" thread. Thank you, Salk for pointing me to this!
