Same - this is the ToB version also.

Something of an odd bug to report.

 

Arath died in combat - I revived him after the fight using Ctrl-R. He now continuously comes up to the PC, initiates dialogue, and says "Why must you waste my time with idle banter?", or something similar.

 

 

Not sure what caused this, but thought you should know.

That's odd! Would you mind zipping up your save directory and emailing it to me at liam.esler@gmail.com?

Here's what I think happened:

 

Your Arath's main script wants a conversation when your ArathRaised variable is at 2. However, your baldur.baf sets ArathRaised to 3 immediately if the timer expired. Hence, Arath wants a conversation, but his dialogue file wants the variable at 2, but it's already at 3! So, Arath is doomed.

 

Solution: in your baldur.baf, edit 

IF
Dead("Arath")
RealGlobalTimerExpired("LK#ArathRaisedTimerThing","GLOBAL")
Global("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",3)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",4)
END

 

Later, in your lk#arath.baf, edit

 

 

// Scenery: On Being Raised... Again
IF
InParty(Myself)
See(Player1)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
CombatCounter(0)
!Detect([ENEMY])
Global("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",4)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",5)
END

IF
InParty(Myself)
See(Player1)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
CombatCounter(0)
!Detect([ENEMY])
Global("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",5)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
MoveToObject(Player1)
Dialogue(Player1)
END

 

Finally, in lk#aratj.d, edit 

 

// Scenery: Raised Again
IF ~Global("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",5)~ a6
SAY ~...it happened again, didn't it? I died? I'm never going to get used to this. (wince)~
++ ~It does get easier.~ DO ~SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",6) SetGlobal("LK#ArathBreak","GLOBAL",1)~ + a6.1
++ ~Bring anything back for me?~ DO ~SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",6) SetGlobal("LK#ArathBreak","GLOBAL",1)~ + a6.2
++ ~Stop whining, we need to go.~ DO ~SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",6) SetGlobal("LK#ArathBreak","GLOBAL",1)~ + a6.3
++ ~I don't get a thank you?~ DO ~SetGlobal("LK#ArathRaised","GLOBAL",6) SetGlobal("LK#ArathBreak","GLOBAL",1)~ + a6.4
END
 

This way, you get two correct 3-variable cycles, not a 3-cycle and a 2-cycle.

Of course! I don't know how I missed that, no wonder. Thanks Kulyok, fixing now!

Just thought you should know about this little issue.  New game on a clean install.  PC Fem CN F/T and in party MInsc, Aran, Yoshimo, Kivan,  First entry into CC Arath did not spawn had not started the slaver quest.  Reloaded previous save and tried again.  Arath spawned, now in party and slaver quest completed.  He had multiple interjections during slaver quest and mentioned his father a couple of times.  Last talk was him asking PC about being the child of a God.  Will let you know if anything else unusal happens but really like what I have seen so far.

I have another game going with a fem Bard PC.  Same party line up as above.  In the CC the guard at the top of the stairs was still alive after Hendak gave us the second part of the slaver quest.  My PC was fighting that guard when Arath started the talk asking about completing the quest.  You might want to put a not in combat check on that talk.

A typo that I saw while playing through the mine quest, was that the Archdruid seems to be named Archmage. I said something in the Minimal Reload Challenge on the BGEE forums, but I figured I should say something here as well, just in case.

[Kaeloree]

Definitely a new game, I'm afraid, sorry!

Had this one happen in two separate games imported from the same SoA file in ToB: Using CLUAConsole: AdvanceRealTime(9999999) a few times in the pocket plane right at the beginning of ToB, Arath will talk about the wraith who taunts him in the grove with Gorion's fake ghost before you've been, as if it were a normal lovetalk. I'd thought I'd missed something about his mom's ghost showing up to yell at him back in his SoA quest.

[crawlkill]

My second playthrough he turned up with no proficiencies! I gather that's a semicommon problem with modded NPCs anyway?

[Kaeloree]

Hey Eibhlin, can you be more specific with your problem? Exactly what is happening?

 

Also, make sure you type the following, as I think you may be typing the variables incorrectly.

 

GetGlobal("LK#ArathRomanceActive","GLOBAL")

GetGlobal("LK#ArathLovetalks","GLOBAL")
