Hey Roxanne, could you help me figure out an issue with one of the mods quest?

 

Spoiler

I was requested to go back to the Waterdeep Temple for the Vampire Ship quest (?)

 

After speaking to the npcs at the temple I was directed to the Harbor master, which only responds "Get outa my way, landlubbers!" (CVHARBOR.DLG State = 2).

 

Quest Global is currently at 10 ("Global("SanVampWDQuest","GLOBAL",10)") which should trigger , as perCVHARBOR.DLG, state 6 "Aye, not hard t'figure out who y'are, band of well armed advent'rers, gal lookin' jus' like fine young Khalindra once..." and continue the quest. But that does not happen, he keeps repeating only state 2.

 

I have spoken to him before (back in BG1) while exploring the city. I noticed that the first conversation gives a "SetGlobal("Lanlub","LOCALS",1)

" action. I'm not that familiar with Local values and how they work. But using EEKeeper my current set of characters does not have any "LanLub" Locals.

 

Using console to "SetGlobal("Lanlub","LOCALS",0)" does not work.

 

Any idea? Maybe I messed up speaking to him before the quest or I just missed a step on the quest?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Just a question - when you now talk to the harbormaster, is that in the building where you first met him or are you at the docks south of the very expensive restaurant and south of Elminster's house?

The talk you get should only trigger in the harbormaster building, the other talk triggers when you meet him in the right place,

 

Anyway, thank you for that report. I think to improve the mod, it may be best to deactivate the guy in the building while the vampire quest is ongoing.

 

Yep, that was the problem, I went directly to the Harbor Master Building in the first map (CVROA8).

 

Talking to him outside the fancy restaurant did the trick. Thank you very much!

Ringothal says this when he gives you the quest  "The harbour master will get you on board of the vessel. He will await you at the docks near the *coq*. Good luck. I am content you can shed some light into that matter, <CHARNAME>"

 

Still,,,I think it can be improved,,,

 

Hope you can still enjoy it.

Im stuck in the bookhunt quest, i can't find the treasure in the Isle, maybe it needs to trigger a dialogue?

You are in the large island area (CVPir3)?

Spoiler

You go to the morthern part of the map,and pass behind the mountain with the cave entrance. You cross the river very much in the NW of the area.

This triggers a dialogue about the bees and they will appear and show you the entrance

[icymad]

Maybe the dialogue didn't trigger, i'm gonna test right now to see if it works. Edit: no dialogue happens, i do remember this area crashing once(not related to rest or spells), so maybe it was the dialogue?

The dialogue triggers a spell (insect summoning) and the insects show you the secret entrance. If that spell causes a problem, you may have some deeper issues with your install, it is a vanilla game spell spin689.

 

You can test it by moving to the point indicated on the map (left side of arrow) and set with console

C:SetGlobal("SanSuBH","GLOBAL",28)

It works now, thanks.

Hi Roxanne,

 

Things never get boring...

 

As I said before, I tried an installation of BGEE, BG2EE and EET with BWS and

my question is: isn't BWS meant to install all the mods it downloaded?

 

In my case, mods such as Drizzt Saga, BG1NPC Project, BG1 Romantic Encounters, among others, were downloaded but

not installed. I tried to install them manually to no avail?

 

What is the glitch this time?

 

Many thanks

In principle, BWS is supposed to install the mods it downloaded, provided the download succeeded and they were successfully unpacked into your game folder. Are there any error messages in your log?

 

Maybe you can post a file called BiG World Debug.7z you should find in your BG2EE folder?

[Roxanne]

What I wrote in my previous post was a bit inaccurate.

The mods I referred to were downloaded but not unpacked into the game folder. 

I unpacked them manually but couldn't install them. 

This is still vague. Did you try to install them manually or did you force BWS to install the manually extracted ones?

I tried to install them myself. 

I don't know how to proceed to force BWS to install mods it didn't extract itself.  

The problem might be this:

- Drizzt Saga and BG1NPCs install in BGEE part prior to EET being started in BG2EE. Trying to install them after EET on BG2EE will fail.

I see. What do you think I can do to fix it?

Promise not to kill the messenger, please...

 

Start with a new clean install. If you use BWS, you should have kept the downloaded unpacked mods in some folder. Make sure BWS uses this folder again (it is on the BWS screen where you tell the tool where the BGEE and BG2EE is located, there is also where to put and find the mods).

In case BWS really fails to unpack a mod, it will tell you in the dialogues after downloading or after unpacking. Read the dialogue options carefully to make sure that you have not removed the mods from your selection (as this is one of the options and maybe the one you chose last time?).

 

The other option is to play without them...

The messenger will be kept safe.

It may be that I accidentally delisted one or more mods while trying to resolve the conflicts between them. 

This part of the BWS process took me a lot of time to finalise and was not easy. I am not sure I can control it efficiently. 

This part of BWS is very powerful but I agree it is not too easy to understand. The problem is that you can only put a limited amount of information into those menues and many users do not read that info anyway. It is trying to summerize a readme in a popup message.

One of the main problems of BWS today is, that these things can no longer be changed or improved due to the underlying and outdated software.

[Roxanne]

I  understand what you mean.

The choices should be made having by one's side the readmes of the involved mods; the use would better undestand what he is doing, maybe. 

Here is some hint, maybe it helps:

Once you solved the warnings and errors on the one screen, you can always go back to the screen with the modlist and cross check what impact you made on mod selection. The tool has all the time in the world and you can optimise your settings several times.

My experience is that the time you spend here is not wasted. I always invest my time rather at this stage than chasing errors later on.

There is a weird crash at the beginning of chapter 6 that affected 3 saves, here is the in game message:

 

"Zhalimar Cloudwulfe: Damage Taken (15)

 

Zhalimar Cloudwulfe:The berserk state has ended. The character now loses the 15 points gained and if it reaches zero he will be knocked unconscious"

 

And then the game crashes...
