only 75 more .D files to go. (Note: I'm finding very few typos compared to the spellchecks I performed in past years. There are obviously many uses of poor grammer and spelling that are intentional within the game dialog and I attempt to screen as many of these as i can before reporting them as typos. It is very reasonable to assume that some of what I report is still intentional and should not be reported but alas my ability to screen intentional verse unintentional is imperfect .

The volume of dialog has grown significantly over the years. Job well done to all involved.)

finished the Vault of Ages, did run into the broken dialog which refers to Amber, but otherwise it went well.
love the new Westgate map. I do find the encounters on this map challenging. tough with so little equipment.

Quick overview of my progress: Sunless citadel, Saltmarsh, Haunted house, Lizardmen, Sauguan, Bane dungeon, Silver princess (I pickpocketed the wardstone on map 1), Mistmoor, Vault of Ages and have begun Westgate.

Did I miss any major maps/quests so far?

I had the same problem. I think there's a bug in TCSALTCA.D that means you can only do the Fletcher's Quest if you have followed the UK2 / UK3 path. Otherwise the dialog block beginning:

IF ~Global("TCBattleReport","TC0030",1)~ THEN BEGIN LastThing1

will take precedence over the one that allows the fletcher quest to go forward.

Playing CA 053a

I struggled to get the Bane cleric quest to start. No bugs to report, but I would have missed it had i not known that it was there. Would suggest some more dialog from additional sources to direct the PC toward this quest. I go upstairs and all of the adepts, initiates,... just direct me back downstairs. Couldn't get them to exchange any dialog at all. Couldn't even talk them into hostility.

I still have difficulty finding places to sleep when I go to the saguahan map. In fact this is a basic problem I have with traveling between many maps. There is often a travel time of 8, 12, 16 or more hours between maps. I arrive exhausted, often have an immediate encounter ( not unreasonable) but then have no opportunity to rest before continuing with the map.

I also missed the Bane quest the 1st time I played through, and only got it when I found out how on these fora.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT:

As for the Sahaugin .... there is a way to rest on the surface map before heading into the actual dungeon, it's just not that obvious. However, a bigger issue may be that it is easy to exploit resting inside the dungeon itself. Absolutely every time you rest you get woken by a single Sahaugin. Kill him for whatever (600 ish I think) xp and rest again for another 600 and again for another etc. etc.. I stopped after 100 myself, by which time the engine was REALLY struggling to render all the bodies!

Rest encounters should be a bit more variable than this, with some chance of something really dangerous or they are way to easy to exploit. The Silver Princess dungeon is also readily exploitable, but more for the items than the xp. Try for long enough and every character can have a 25 stat in everything!

You could have done the UK series instead of the U series if you wanted (or bent the rules and done both ). It explains how in Chapter 2 of the walkthrough. You can check out the cover art of the modules here if you want to see which module is which. The G series (Giants) is in the works now. There may be a teaser map for them in the game, but I don't remember for sure.

still another 20 .D files to spellcheck and then a few other text files like the setup files to check.

this complete my review of the .D files included in 0.53 and 0.53a

[MythrylEagle]

a few comments as I play through 053a:

Catharandamus sues for peace but dies before I can stop all party members from completing ongoing attacks. Probably had arrows in flight that cause damage that exceeds the margin between cath dialog and death.

TERRA biography:
Cromyr > Cormyr
fulfil > fulfill

Urquant dialog: tried to assailed > tried to assail

map west of Piney Bluff crashes regularly, If I continually save and reload I can complete map.

I have not been able to play through the UK series. I can visit Piney Bluff and the 1 map to the west with the gargoyle tower but that is all. There must be more but I cannot find the proper game path.

Played silver princess through several times. Once with Caarna in party, everything works and completes properly, although the end dialogs have awkward delays. Also played silver princess without caarna, (picked her pocket for wardstone) in this scenario the module ending dialogs do not occur (no Caarna) and I'm left with figuring out where the dwarves are for delivering the gem. I wonder if I have same problem if i drop Caarna prior to completing module?

TC1044 encounter map has no encounter contrary to message given entering map

Mistmoor map: Ril comments on statue missing from pedestal, there is no bare pedestal just the remaining statue.

ICAR dialog:
My I touch > May I touch
but you family > but your family
show me you face > show me your face

Dirbert dialog:
I'm going deck > I'm going to deck

The walkthrough gives no real info about the UK series other than how to start. I can get to Piney bluff and 1 map to its west but can get no farther in this series.

I think there may be a bug with Bergon's dialogue. He is the one who can open the first main UK2 map, but he will only do it the first time you speak to him, and then only if you have the global TCKurstSaidTalktoBergon set to 1. I don't know how this flag is supposed to be set .... I used ShadowKeeper. With this global set he will allow an additional dialogue reply option:

"Kurst talked of two skulks. Can you tell me more?"

You must make this reply the first time you talk to him or you are stuck forever, unless, of course, like me, you get in and edit TCBERGON.D to make him repeat his intro dialogue.

It's worth the effort tho .... the UK dungeons are really fun!

[melkor_morgoth75]

Please, say that the mod is still alive...i've been waiting for years waiting for it to be fully playable and I avoided spoiling it until its final version ...

I know it's a big work ... just hope it's still in developing

Keep it up!

After the 3.11 earthquake in Japan, I got very busy with the real world. I still have a ton of material to sort through, I am unsure about SirBillyBob but I will start working on CA again soon.

In Vildamyr-Dirbert banter, Dirbert says, 'Gee, that is so kind of you'  Gee? They don't know Jesus Christ in Faerun (nor elsewhere in FR either)

Of course!  In the Forgotten Realms, the expression "Gee" is an invocation of the gnomish god Garl Glittergold, whose domain is trickery, and is worshipped by practical jokers.  That's why when someone uses the expression, you know they're being sarcastic.
