well he hasnt drop that

The item is dropped during his cutscene mode dying scene, so it can't be interrupted in some way. Since you're playing a heavily modded game it might be a script incompatibility.

Spoiler

Can you open demogor2.bcs in NI (or decompile with WeiDU) and copy&paste the whole script block of his dying sequence? It's the one which includes the string "NO! NOOOOO! THIS CANNOT BE!". I'd like to take a look.

I uploaded the whole script for sure, im blind today.. i cant find that sequence only

The script doesn't show anything unusual on my system and could be successfully modified by the Golem Construction mod.

This may be a long shot, but maybe a mod changed some definitions in the ACTION.IDS. Can you also attach a decompiled version of it (demogor2.baf)?

 

You can decompile the file from a command prompt with the command: weidu.exe demogor2.bcs (It should also be possible to drag the BCS file onto weidu.exe in Windows Explorer if you don't like terminals.)

It looks like the mod doesn't deal with every possible way how the creature can die. Did you battle it inside or outside of WK? (not relevant)

 

Edit: But even in this case the mod should have added the "drop item" code to the script. I don't know why it hasn't (unless another mod has overwritten the script completely.)

ok I can do changelog, which file you need?

It was just about suggesting the same. It's DEMOGOR2.BCS (execute weidu.exe --change-log demogor2.bcs )

Mods affecting DEMOGOR2.BCS:

00000: ~DJINNICOMPANION/SETUP-DJINNICOMPANION.TP2~ 0 0 // Afaaq, the Djinni Companion -> Full Version (includes quests, banters and more): v2.4

00001: ~A7!GOLEMCONSTRUCTION/SETUP-A7!GOLEMCONSTRUCTION.TP2~ 0 0 // Golem Construction Ability for Spellcasters: 2.4

00002: ~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ 0 6510 // Improved fiends -> Fiends have about 50 percent more hit points than normal: v30 BWP fix + K4thos' EET compatibility + kreso's Spell Revisions compatibility

[Argent77]

Djinni Companion should not be the culprit. It's just adding another item to the creature. Since I also don't see it in the script attached to your previous comments there is only the SCS component which might have overwritten or cleaned up the whole script file.

 

My troubleshooting skills aren't very great. Do you know how to find and inspect the script version before SCS was installed?

No, but There are 3 files generated in mine changelog directory, but I guess the 00002 is the current backup before SCS

Thanks! These files helped me a lot.

 

I can see that DEMOGOR2.00001 contains the "drop item" code for the djinni companion and DEMOGOR2.00002 has the "drop item" codes for djinni companion and the golem construction mod. It's pretty certain now that the SCS component overwrites any previous changes in DEMOGOR2.BCS.

[konva]

ok this could be worthy of reporting further to SCS developers, right?

[Argent77]

Yes. I'll let them know over at G3.

[Argent77]

@konva If you still want to create a perfect adamantite golem you can use the console to create the required item:

Spoiler

C:CreateItem("a7!glad2")

 

And if you also need the item dropped for the Djinni Companion mod:

C:CreateItem("a7heart1")

That's intentional: DEMOGOR2 is Demogorgon's primary combat script and SCS rewrites it from scratch.
 
If you want him to drop something, put an instruction in a new script - e.g
 
 

IF
 HPLT(Myself,30)
 Global("DemoEffects","LOCALS",0)
THEN
  DropItem("a7!glad2",[-1.-1])
  DropItem("A7HEART1",[-1.-1])
  Continue()
END

 
 
and assign that script to Demogorgon in one of his unused script slots (e.g., at 0x248)

@Argent77 maybe I would also suggest you to contact Roxanne about compatibility in RTF or ToT mods. Because SandrahRTF adds a lot of content after ToB and probbaly I wont have the opportunity to create them further.

Not sure I understand what is meant, but RtF does not remove anything from the game after ToB (except PC's Bhaal abilities). So if there are any items or whatever left in the game. you can find them. And if Cespenar or someone else is needed to forge items, they can still do it.

Ahh so pocket plane is available still? Or watchers keep?

I will answer that in the Sandrah thread - not hijack Golem mod's topic.

Looks like this code change works quite well - with the slight disadvantage that I have to assume the correct dying conditions for the creature, or the items will either be dropped too soon or never.
