#508823 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 20 February 2011 - 05:56 AM in Classic Adventures

Rivian is a dual class fighter/mage. That would be why no one ever called out the "bug".

Durnn has no proficiencies, just like about 99% of other monsters in the game. I have been giving some Bioware creatures proficiencies just to make them harder. No rule saying I have to not not have to.

Morale codes? They are the settings that the NPC had when it was created as a player character and then converted to a CRE file. So that would be the same morale setting your character has.

Cath - don't know what happened there. 32 in Mace proficiency? Very strange but now corrected to 4. 2 in dual weld.

Nothing wrong with Mistmoor Inn - I hide the mage items in that room (this area is from IWD if you don't know). Later after the slaver quests, Fala'stra will be able to show you the items or you may find them yourself. But for now you can't access the room.

Althon's sword - corrected.

TCSCEPT2 - corrected.

Jak - corrected.



#509109 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 23 February 2011 - 02:30 PM in Classic Adventures

Mistmoor - okay, now I understand what you are talking about. Fixed.

Candella and thieves - Don't know that to tell you. Normally a party starts off with Shadow and can add Candella (or replace Shadow with her). Fala'stra is our third thief and we didn't see a need to add another one. There is Buranta but she is an assasin and not found until after Westgate. So while in Sembia for the first 2 chapters, you could get Ned from the haunted house but he was never supposed to stay with the party or have any banters outside of the house. You could always respawn Candella by creating TCCANDE.

Leaving coordinates are usually from cut-and-paste without modifying for a new location. Most leaving dialogs need to be updated to handle Chapter 3 in Westgate and Chapter 4 in Selgaunt. Most of the original characters haven't been updated for that.

Priest scrolls - I thought that was just me doing something wrong. So you see it also? Something to try to track down.

Rivian - dual class because we couldn't create a good multi-class that we liked.

Week vs. tenday - I went ahead and updated the lizard king but that also required updating the minister and Saltmarsh captain. I'm sure you will see this term used elsewhere in the mod as well. BTW, there is no game timer for this dialog, you can really take as long as you want. No penalties for taking longer.



#509269 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 25 February 2011 - 06:50 AM in Classic Adventures

Masterwork arrows - okay you lost me here. What proficiency penalty? It is just an arrow with a +1 THAC0, same as in IWD where it comes from.
Bullets - not sure when that was added. BG2Fix actually removes this from the magical bullets but not from the normal one. So I removed the BULL01.ITM file out of our install. As far as I know, the sling is what lets you add strength, not the ammo.

Rurik's wand of hard knocks - I think I have this fixed now but I will need to test.
Bathis dialog - where does it break? There was an older problem with Paraway in the party but that was fixed awhile ago. Who is in your party and who was the last person talking?

Priest healing scrolls work fine for me. Some attack ones do as well but not all. Need further digging.
Barford - always attacked me but I do see a bug in the dialog that could be why he isn't always attacking. Fixed.

Rescuing Saltmarsh Kids - Journal should update to remove active quest and post completed quest. I think I fixed this several months ago but you all don't have that version yet. No XP for this quest and nothing really for seeing the barrels of wine/spirits in the mayor's home. What? You plan to feed it to the starving refugees? I guess that would take away their troubles but not much of a proper food - unless it was Guiness. We do have some small areas where the story just ends. The idea was to leave hooks for future modders to add their stories. Consider it as Unfinished Business for Classic Adventures.



#509876 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 04 March 2011 - 02:13 PM in Classic Adventures

Or you could use Global("FAALT","LOCALS",1) trigger and SetGlobal("FAALT","LOCALS",2) action instead, since in the previous banter between Fala and Althon the value of local variable FAALT is set to 1


Okay, I'm going to use the LOCALS of 2 for the second dialog. Otherwise, there is a risk of the dialogs running out of order.

Rivian moves to 1201 in the next version.

Capt Beril issue isn't major. This is to remove him from the area if he is standing out on the docks. Fixed for next version.

Sharp Eye's dialog was corrected a few weeks ago due to her and Saltmarsh Captain conflicts. Global now only goes to 5, so dialog will allow you to purchase items even if you decline the quest.

Kessa actually has 2 dialogs here. So both needed to be updated. They will now only trigger if she is in the party and can detect the PC.



#510237 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 09 March 2011 - 06:28 AM in Classic Adventures

Dialog option 2 and 3 (I have been tasked...) both go to the same dialog block where he says "we shall see" so there is no difference in how the dialog runs the fight. You have probably just encountered the same problem for why Aleigha doesn't always parlay with you but Cath seems to every time. Oh, Sanbalt and Icar do it some times as well. For now, all I can say is save your game before those fights.

I have tested the idea that their scripts don't always get a chance to check their HP amount to then jump to the next dialog. I haven't found a solution yet that is consistantly working.



#510412 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 11 March 2011 - 08:23 AM in Classic Adventures

You can't kill Calcryx. He wears an item like Imoen's belt in SoA. Once he talks to you about giving up, you have an option to continue trying to kill him. Otherwise, he surrenders. This was the only way to keep the party from killing him before the cutscene. If you ever say you plan to kill him, he "should" drop the item that makes him unkillable.

Sir Braford will not attach due to a bug in Belak's dialog (I thought we covered this already?). Just frag him with a fireball/potion of explosions. It will be corrected in version 0.54.



#510596 Screenshots

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 13 March 2011 - 12:25 PM in Classic Adventures

Future mods we are working on are the Giants series, G-1-2-3. The first is with Hill Giants. So, in version 0.54, we plan to add some of the first maps for this area. It won't be finished but it should give some of you another area or two to explore. Be prepared for some serious fights.

#511729 Another bug ?

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 26 March 2011 - 04:03 PM in Classic Adventures

Hmm, the mayor should have already been arrested at this point. You did clear out the haunted house, correct? You should be talking to the militia captain now, not the mayor.

For the lizardmen, you have to have them give you the quest, go to the captain and tell her. She will give you an update in 24 hours. Go back to the Lizardman King. He opens your map to the area where the battle for their home is. You can then go there to help them fight.

If TCCouncilAgrees2Liz doesn't exist, the captain hasn't gotten approval yet. She asked you to give her 1 day. So wait.



#511975 Another bug ?

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 30 March 2011 - 03:25 PM in Classic Adventures

Not sure how the quest got so buggered. The only thing to do at this point is fix your Globals by using the CLUAConsole.

Global("TCLizTellCouncil","GLOBAL",1) - this sets up the dialog to tell her what happened with the lizardmen.
Global("TCLizTellCouncil","GLOBAL",2) - this is what she should set so you can't repeat the dialog. She will also set:
Global("TCCouncilAgrees2Liz","GLOBAL",1) - this runs the timer for 1 day before you can talk to her again about the lizardmen.
Global("TCCouncilAgrees2Liz","GLOBAL",3) - this is her dialog option to say the council agrees to help the lizardmen. So set this to fix your bug.



#514521 Plan for an update?

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 06 May 2011 - 08:14 AM in Classic Adventures

Working on it. Probably still another month or two out. We have a couple more maps to build for Castle Amber. Once I can do a full run through that mod, I'll see about getting this out to everyone.



#515040 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 13 May 2011 - 04:07 PM in Classic Adventures

Stalker - fixed (should have been fixed before)
Quest - have to look at
TC3300 - fixed in 0.54
TC3706 - didn't know those arrows even existed, not sure what they are for - fixed
TC3052 - fixed in 0.54 by using Infinity Animations now



#515189 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 16 May 2011 - 04:41 AM in Classic Adventures

The Glab is actually that way in the original game, nothing we have changed. In fact, of the three versions of the Glabrezu, only the summoned version has XP. Which is reverse of logic because usually summoned creatures don't have XP and regular creatures do. So I may have to fix all of them.

In the original mod, Elmo dies. We added an option to save him if Candella is in the party. She will beg for Rurik or Blush to heal him. We may expand it later but for now, she needs to be in the party for you to continue that story line.



#515508 Help

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 22 May 2011 - 04:49 PM in Classic Adventures

You didn't do a full install of SoA or ToB. Both have to be fully installed because we use some area graphics from the original game.



#523006 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 19 September 2011 - 04:57 AM in Classic Adventures

Depending on other globals, you may be successfully setting TellCouncil to 1, but something else then sets it to 2. To verify, use the console to GetGlobal("TCLizTellCouncil","GLOBAL") and this should show you what the global is currently at or if it even exists.

Lu -
IDS file corrected. Never noticed this before but since I don't use that command, never had a problem. Corrected now just in case. Thanks.



#524191 Secret of BoneHill v2.75b

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 05 October 2011 - 04:05 PM in Secret of Bone Hill

Graoumf and his coworkers have updated this mod to include a French translation. They have also included a few bug fixes based on issues reported here. I have uploaded for everyone, however, I am not the person to contact for support. Sorry folks but I still need to get the next CA version.

Here is the link : SOBH v.275b

Here are some of the updates they included:

Apart from the French translation, here are the change we made:
1. inclusion of fixes provided in the BiG Fixpack v10.1 various fixes to tra files (invalid keywords and stuff) fixes for three small problems mentioned in the Bonehill v275 bug report thread
2. a complete rewrite of the readme (english and spanish), using the latest SHS model.
3. BH0111.ARE, both for BGT and Tutu: changed the charge of RNDTRE01.ITM in the container to 0 (it seems this value is used elsewhere for random items)
4. BHQUENEX.d: added a text reply before EXIT in the unconditionnal reply of the first state. The text used is not optimal but avoids adding a new text (reused text for the exit case in state 12)
5. BHMARTIN.d, both for BGT and Tutu: added a reply when "BHGnollQuest" is 1. I reused a reply for when it is 0, which is not optimal either (but the ogre mage is not dead yet anywhere, so the task is not finished).
6. Finally, I changed the readme handling in the tp2 file, aside from adding the French language. They used to be copies of the English readme in other directories, so that the AT_EXIT command would work with the %LANGUAGE% variable. Instead I used the README command, which allows to set a name with %LANGUAGE%, with a fallback if the file is not found, in this case it will display the English version. Additionally, this means the readme will be proposed at the beginning of the installation. I checked the behaviour will all languages.



#524770 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 13 October 2011 - 05:35 AM in Classic Adventures



Captain Girana (TCSLGIR.dlg) in area TC1007 - tavern in Westgate docks will never turn hostile if you have
certain persons in your party. Can't remember exactly who those people are, but it surely is a bug.
You need to fix blocks 36, 37, and 38

I also ran into this problem, and I don't see anything in Sir B's reply addressing it. In TCSLGIR.D, I see:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN FinalScenePara1.1
SAY ~We shall see about that, wild elf!~
IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN FinalSceneAesd1.1
SAY ~*smirks* Blame it on your foolishness in following a dumb leader.~
IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN FinalSceneRiv1.1
SAY ~Your pathetic blade skill is no match against mine. I shall show you what true sword fighting is!~
IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

Note that the statements "SetGlobal("TCSlaverTalk","TC1007",2) SHOUT(ALERT_79) Enemy()" which occur with other characters are missing for these three.


Fixed.



#524772 Bug Report for 0.53

Posted by Sir BillyBob on 13 October 2011 - 05:43 AM in Classic Adventures


Thanks for info guys. Now for other strange things I noticed: when I massacred kobold clan ( poor Meepo ) I get my hands on key for barred door. Behind it I encountered Jot ( very nice xp ) and Dragon priest. After each blow I delivered to priest there was message in blue: Dragon priest use a scroll. After he goes down I pelted him with six or seven acid arrows before he finally goes for good. Then I went second route and I finished Silver princess quest. No journal entry, I refused to take gem and let go of Chaarna ( she goes of her own ), no xp reward, nothing. Is it supossed to be like this or I missed something important?

I encountered the same issue with the Dragon Priest. In addition I got ".... uses a potion" over and over in many different parts of the game. For example, I kicked Paraway out of the party when he was injured (told him to wait so he didn't go anywhere). I think he still had the healing potion he starts the game with. Every time I was on the same screen as Paraway I kept getting "Paraway uses a potion" until I finally took him back into the party .... and hey, waddayano, he still had the healing potion and was still injured.


The priest has a scroll of healing. He will attempt to use it, and usually does.

Being a jerk to the ghost and not helping gives you no experience. Hey, you didn't do anything, why get XP for it? There are several cases of this throughout the game. Deciding not to do something doesn't mean it won't get done, but it also means you may not get any XP. Your decision.

Potion/scroll bugs seem to be a problem with the game engine. Usually, an NPC will consume a potion if their HP is below a percentage. It should not happen otherwise. However, for some strange reason, they use it but the potion doesn't go away. Therefore, they think they can use it again and again. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it will continuously. Also, there are some potions that actors will try to use even though they don't meet the requirements to use it. You may find some orcs will try to use potions of Intelligence even though the requirement is that they must have INT > 14. Orc don't but they try to use it anyway. It is as if the game engine runs through scripts for some creatures and not for others, or ignores conditions for some and not for others.
