In Topic: problems with mega install and imoen romance

05 April 2009 - 10:43 AM

Im playing again and Im having problems in my game with the first dream sequence of the the imoen romance. Im running the classic mega-mod and have had only a few problems that Ive been able to solve. When the dream sequence starts Imoen teleports in (IMDREAM.CRE into AR26MR.ARE) and I get some internal dialog about floating crystals forming some sort of stained glass window, and then some further internal dialog about trying to touch the crystals, but being stopped by a force field. It seems like a problem with my dialog references. Ive inspected the CRE and it seems like the dialog is correct, but I dont pretend to understand the dialog/string reference mechanism, so my guess is that the string references in dialog.tlk? are screwed up. Also, for the life of me I cannot figure out how IMDREAM.CRE is teleporting into AR26MR. AR26MR.ARE has no area script and there is nothing in the baldur.bcs.

So here are my two questions:

a - How does IMDREAM.CRE get teleported in to the area? I mean, what mechanism is used to invoke this action?

and
2 - Can someone please explain or point me to a good reference for how the dialoging/string reference stuff works?

Of course if someone knows precisely what is going on with this specific problem or thinks Im off the mark with my string ref idea, please chime in.

Thanks


I have the same problem. When Imoen attempts to speak to the PC the portal dialogue from NEJ2 area TT0068 plays instead of her dialogue. Did you ever figure out how to fix it? Or did anyone else for that matter?

Which mod is that character from? Just wondering because despite following all advice biffing, etc. that you mentioned there is considerable lag in my game as well. I am pretty sure its some quest trigger or timer for Saerelith or Robillard (TDD) so I'm waiting it out. Of course its also possible its that dude you mentioned... :whistling:


I've almost certainly spelt the guys name wrong but hes part of the Knights of Dark Renown portion of Revised Battles. According to the readme he spawns when you hit level 15 and return to Athkatla.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but I recently had quite a bit of lag on my megamod. I searched the boards and tried dumping all my bags, kicking out every party member, turning off the ambiance, lowering the settings to minimum, even took the plunge and tried editing the baldur.bcs, all to no avail.

I perservered however and soon ran into a quest concerning a Lord Salimdanich who liked to kill children. After a fairly tough battle he went down, and my game went from pausing every other second to running without a hitch. Just something I thought people who encounter similar problems might like to know.

I'm pretty sure this is a problem with the original mod. That item was introduced but never completed.


Do you perhaps know the name of the mod?


I'm afraid its slipped my mind. Though I do remember that the bottle is unconnected to any quest and you can safely ignore the guy selling it.

I bought this bottle from a certain Lord Crawford and when I activate it CTD (not even a loading screen pops up) and does anyone knows what mod this is?.
