On a tutu game skeletons also gets ie gooseberries. Can this be avoided somehow?

Agreed - skeletons shouldn't be getting any treasures. I should recode that whole routine (along with most of the rest of the mod, sigh). One option I was considering was to to provide the option to have the randomisation done by a) code or b) script - I guess Item Randomiser does something like this.

Couldn't you just avoid undeads or so?

Not really, because some undead (liches for example) should have a chance to spawn some of the items (probably not berries). But skeletons should have nil treasure per PnP so we can exclude them and other zero-treasure creatures at least.

That means that:

75% of the time, the user will feel the effects of Lesser Restoration
10% of the time, the user will experience a 25% increase in fatigue

[Miloch]

That is correct IIRC, meaning 15% of the time nothing happens (it is not intended to add up to 100%).

Now I am looking for Karaea. Will I meet her in Westgate?

Yes. She is out in the open at a table, not hard to find. Though she goes home to her cellar at night, that might be somewhat more difficult to find (but isn't far from where she is in the daytime).

Except the animation of the stirge. It is mutated to a half-goblin.

I don't think CA implemented the whole Infinty Animations scheme yet, plus it also uses some PST animations we haven't converted yet (like stirge/vargouille) so it might be a relic of that.

Met her, but I have to look for the cellar hideout soon. Fixed some bugs I made so far. I am looking for the right words. The special dialog options with pick pocketing within Aurora's Shoes didn't show up here in CA. I am going to install Aurora on BG2 for further proofreading. Do I need an other mod to see these thieving dialogs in BG2 or is this an special issue of CA?

The cellar should be just south of where her booth is in Westgate. It's in the back of some building, so you can't see the door unless you cursor over it.

The pickpocketing dialogue is a component from Rogue Rebalancing (which I think is also compatible with CA). But you should see it for the Aurora merchants even if you don't have RR installed - at least I think so. If you have RR you'll see it for other merchants too. Let me know if it doesn't work that way. Actually, now that I think about it, it isn't for pickpocketing but stealing from the store - and then only if the merchant catches you, you get a chance to talk your way out of it.

I'm not sure if you're referring to the RR component, but if you are - it works for pickpocketing from NPC's as well as stealing from stores.

I'm not sure if our version does that - will have to check (or someone could test it). We adopted the stealing code for Aurora shortly after aVENGER wrote it initially.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not played CA, but I can consider putting her somewhere else if that makes more sense. IIRC, it was Sir BillyBob himself who recommended putting her in the dungeon, heh. His reasoning was that chars don't have a lot of merchants to buy/sell stuff at that point, so it would be useful to encounter a merchant there. Also, you should meet her later, because she will be in Westgate later with the same store (including anything you sold her). At least I think Westgate is later? That's what SBB seemed to be saying. Anyway, you may want to post that in the CA forum to get feedback from other folks more familiar with CA.

Translation finished. Now it is time to search for proofreaders. But there is one question about this: should I wait for the next release, adding new translations, or should I bother someone with the version 5 proofreading?

Great work ! We will have new strings for v6, but I don't think we'll be changing any existing strings, or very few at least. So you could start trying to get the proofreading, as I know it is a lot of work. That way when the v6 starts to reach release, it will just be a matter of translating and proofing the new strings. (Also, the next release will be truly multi-lingual, as we now have Italian, Russian and German to add .)

After so many people have gone to the trouble of translating them? I should think not!
