Hello everyone, i have a question that i think has been asked several years ago. I just can't remember the answer. Actually i have 2 questions;

 

Q1) Is there a way to stop characters from looping their dialogue while you are in the game?

 

Q2) With the first question in mind, is there a way to use ShadowKeeper or some other application to stop a character from looping, or, possibly stop a character's talking? 

 

Q2+) Is there a way to end a conversation?

Please start with the Stutter Debug Tool to identify the offending script block.

Thanks for moving the topic to IE Help, i didn't know there was such a thing. I'll try the Stutter Debug Tool, i've never used it before and we'll see what happens.
 
 
Sorry, but the files that were downloaded seems to be missing something. What i got;
 
setup- stutterbug                           file
setup- Stutterbug.command         COMMAND file
Stutterbug                                     TP2 File
readme-stutterbug.english            text document
readme-stutterbug.french              text document
readme-stutterbug.german            text document
 
It will not install. I get nothing but error messages.
I also got a message from my computer about there being a VIRUS in the Readme.md, which i decided not to download, but i got it anyway after i unzipped the file.
 
However i did find what i couldn't find the first time i looked (stutterbug - file folder), but it didn't make any difference, still can't install.

I've asked about your antivirus software before. If you don't want to say here, please consult with the support of the software to solve your issues with a high rate of false positives.

 

Your AV has blocked setup-stutterdebug.exe (WeiDU setup executable.) You can also download it from the official source:

In this instance, i checked the stutterdebug file folder and it is empty. If there is a problem with WeiDu, that will be a seperate issue.

 

Well, i tried downloading the file a second time and it worked much better. I am currently installing the Debug tool now. Now it says it's finished and also that it was successfull. Wish me luck!

My apologies for the delay in writing. I installed stutterbug debug in the directory and started it up, got the message "this will take time". Waited for it to finish and looked at the DEBUG file. There seemed to be a lot of files that i believe it restored from backups. I assume that to be right, so i tried it. Fired up the game and got the same thing. Alright.

I didn't mention in my original post which characters had the looping problem, so before i continue here is most of the list;

Jaheira and player

Jaheira and Nalia

Jaheira and Aerie

Anomen and Haer Dalis

Anomen and player

Anomen and Aerie

Nalia and player

Haer Dalis and player

Haer Dalis and Nalia

Jan Jansen and Anomen

Yoshimo and Jaheira

Yoshimo and Nalia

There seems to be a pattern in the list. All of the characters are the original ones, there aren't any modded ones. I use the suggestion that after the original install (from disc) that i make a copy of BGMain, dialog talk, override and chitin.key. Then when ever you need to reinstall, you can call up these files and save a lot of time. It appears that the original files have been corrupted somehow or something else, that is still in the game after i reinstall, which i tried, with no affect that i can tell. Still looping.

I did figure out a work around for some of it, but i don't think that i should have the problem in the first place. 

I am thinking about reinstalling from the disc and seeing what happens
