In my game she was only beaten not killed. Then she talks to me and quest continues.

There's likelihood that something altered the damage output of those thugs and could change the result or something.

 There's likelihood that something altered the damage output of those thugs and could change the result or something.

They are unarmed thugs so they beat her unconscious in my game.

So i don't know what's wrong with Sergios game. Maybe it's bugged small BWS install not bug-free BIG BWP expert-install like mine.

FfT: Minor problem in Maredudd Bengoch (YSBENGCH.DLG) dialogue. Response triggers 2, 3, 6 and 7 doesn't work.

 

Changed:

CheckStatLT(Myself,15,CHR)

and

CheckStatGT(Myself,14,CHR)

 

to:

CheckStatLT(Player1,15,CHR)

and

CheckStatGT(Player1,14,CHR)

 

Why "Myself" doesn't work and "Player1" works is beyond me as usual.

 

Sad that Lollorian is MIA.

[The Imp]

Why "Myself" doesn't work and "Player1" works is beyond me as usual.

It's because the script trigger wants an object instead of an identifier to be placed on the spot. Staring the iesdp gave me this.
How did it even compile in the first place... you think we give a whisker about how. You are so wrong.

Well staring IESDP didn't give me anything.  But copy/paste from working script trigger did.

 

Then it's probably bug.

How did it compile well just fine i think.

I meant the original... cause the .bcs files are compiled from a .baf files(well unless it's already in game file, which are notorious bad too) using the games own libraries, wrongly made .baf doesn't compile into a .bcs file, but throws a fit (and error report), so it shouldn't compile because trigger.ids file doesn't have the entry to compile it.

Watcher's Keep: When i enter first time to Watcher's Keep (AR3000.ARE) i get info that quest is done and all entrances are sealed. Cause is "SpellCastInnateRES("SPIN592",[ANYONE])" but i don't know when and where i suppose to have used Helm Ritual Scroll. Fixed by removing that block.

The Knights would enter the Keep and perform a ritual to fix those seals, but cannot as they are too weak to bypass the traps and monsters within.  Odren suggests that I, too, am not yet ready to enter the Keep just yet.  I shall return another time when my experience is greater.

I have accepted the task of entering the Keep and fixing the seal that keeps this evil imprisoned.

Removing this block means that Ritual Scroll is useless but it doesn't matter i always kill Demogorgon anyway.

This is a BP bug. Happened to me as well few months ago.

[micbaldur]

Well i encountered this Watcher's Keep problem first time couple years ago in one of my earlier BWPs.

 

Fixed locally.

 

At AR3000.BCS changed:

SpellCastInnateRES("SPIN592",[ANYONE])

 

to:

SpellCastInnate([ANYONE],HELM_RITUAL_SCROLL)

 

Fix is copy/paste from vanilla BG2 and now Ritual Scroll works ok. But still i'm going to kill Demogorgon.

Encountered problems at Watcher's Keep Level 1 (AR3001).

BP: Problems with Statues (GORSTA01.CRE, GORSTA02.CRE, GORSTA03.CRE, GORSTA04.CRE, GORSTA05.CRE, GORSTA07.CRE, GORSTA09.CRE and GORSTA10.CRE). Component "Watchers Keep Improvements" removes equip items (Foebane +3, Usuno's Blade +4 and some generic items) from Weapon 1 slot.

Don't know what these blocks do in BP_TOB.TPH:

 

COPY_EXISTING ~gorsta03.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
                                ~gorsta04.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
  PATCH_IF SOURCE_SIZE > 0x2d3 BEGIN
    WRITE_ASCII 0x250 ~humansht~ #8
    WRITE_ASCII 0x268 ~bpccle2b~ #8 // Default (was WTASIGHT)
    REMOVE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER1~
    REPLACE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER01~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~WEAPON1~ EQUIP
  END
BUT_ONLY

COPY_EXISTING ~gorsta09.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
                                ~gorsta07.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
                                ~gorsta05.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
                               ~gorsta02.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
                               ~gorsta01.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
  PATCH_IF SOURCE_SIZE > 0x2d3 BEGIN
    WRITE_ASCII 0x250 ~humansht~ #8
    WRITE_ASCII 0x268 ~bpcfig2b~ #8 // Default (was WTASIGHT)
    REMOVE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER1~
    REPLACE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER01~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~WEAPON1~ EQUIP
  END
BUT_ONLY

COPY_EXISTING ~gorsta10.cre~ ~override~ //Statue
  PATCH_IF SOURCE_SIZE > 0x2d3 BEGIN
    WRITE_ASCII 0x250 ~creshout~ #8
    WRITE_ASCII 0x268 ~bpwdasgt~ #8 // Default (was WTASIGHT)
    REMOVE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER1~
    REPLACE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER01~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~WEAPON1~ EQUIP
  END
BUT_ONLY

 

Stratagems: Component "Slightly Improved Watcher's Keep" changes Statues (GORSTA06.CRE) script name to mage20b. Area script AR3001.BCS doesn't remove HOLDRING.ITM from Statue so Statue is unkillable and doesn't attack.

 

Fixed locally.

Don't know what these blocks do in BP_TOB.TPH:

They try to replace the statue's possible weapon with another weapon(the umber1.itm with umber01.itm). The later line is longer cause it equips the item. The "umber1.itm" doesn't actually need to exist in the game, the umber01.itm is the originally 3d4 melee weapon.

Well i though it would be that but wasn't sure.

 

Checked all REMOVE_CRE_ITEM at BP_TOB.TPH and made fixes locally.

One question from weidu documentation:

REPLACE_CRE_ITEM If there’s an item in the slot position, replace it; otherwise, process ADD_CRE_ITEM

 

Does REPLACE_CRE_ITEM put existing item to inventory or should i use ADD_CRE_ITEM instead?

[The Imp]

Does REPLACE_CRE_ITEM put existing item to inventory or should i use ADD_CRE_ITEM instead?

I believe the function places the other item to the creatures inventory to an unused slot, while the ADD_ functions does the opposite(and thus places the ADD_'ed item to the inventory if the slot is in use already). Now, neither of them remove either item, as the REMOVE_ does exactly that.

Thanks. Then i only remove "REMOVE_CRE_ITEM ~UMBER1~" from BP_TOB.TPH.

Back    at BWP after some RL issues    past couple weeks.

 

TS: Area Fighting Pit 7 (TT0307.ARE) at Kara-Tur is broken (area is too small,    actors, area exits and some containers are missing), don't know why, as usual.

 

Fixed by copying TT0307.ARE, TT0307.MOS, TT0307.TIS, TT0307.WED, TT0307HT.BMP, TT0307LM.BMP and TT0307SR.BMP to override from vanilla TS.

 

Update:

Only TT0307.ARE needs to be copied to override.

Would you please --change-log the file ? No need to rush or anything... just for kicks.
