There's a compatibility issue between Expanded Thief Stronghold and the G3 Fixpack and UB. The problem is described here.

[Leomar]

From the BG2 Fixpack thread:

Ah, you found the problem agris. Expanded Thief Stronghold makes docsol02 deactivate himself when you are supposed to fight the guards. Consequently he's not there if you enter the baracks at that time, but since docsol03 is still there, he'll fire off his dialogue endlessly.

Assuming my opinion counts, I agree with devSin that this guard restoration thing should be retired from the Fixpack. This will still be a clash between UB and Expanded Thief Stronghold, though.

So, BG2 Fixpack has done its work with the v9.01:

Version 9 - March 14, 2010

◦Deprecated the restoration of the Guard Captain to the Barracks in the Docks District

We have the problem between Expanded Thief Stronghold and BG2UB, now. Was there a follow up of the problem? If not, have we enough information of agris to fix this compatibility issue?

If I were to fix it, I'd probably do it by adding this to the bottom of the Stronghold tp2 (it's a self-contained action so it can go "anywhere")

EXTEND_TOP docsol03.bcs "gbthfkp/scripts/tsdkgdgo.baf"

That way docsol03 should deactivate himself under the same conditions as docsol02, if he's present. I don't recall if I tested it back when, but it should be straightforward to do so regardless.

You might also want to revise the UB fix in this manner since the BG2 Fixpack no longer restores the relevant creature.

EXTEND_TOP docsol03.bcs "gbthfkp/scripts/tsdkgdgo.baf"

There's some similar code, so would this block at the end do??

ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS ~override/docsol03.bcs~ THEN BEGIN
  EXTEND_TOP docsol03.bcs ~gbthfkp/scripts/tsdkgdgo.baf~ END

I was afraid there would be errors if it didn't find docsol03.bcs (for installs without UB )See following posts for new file

Could someone please check if the attached setup-ub.tp2 is correctly modified?? (I didn't understand what the fix was for, so I just followed instructions )

docsol03.bcs is a vanilla resource and is not added by UB.
(Also, using FILE_EXISTS like that doesn't work as you would want it to. You want e.g. FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME docsol03.bcs instead.)

Ok cool then So, that line goes in exactly like you said

About the ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS, there are some other lines in the same .tp2 that look like that

ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS ~override/AR1005.bcs~ THEN BEGIN
  EXTEND_TOP ~AR1005.bcs~  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR1005.baf~ END ELSE BEGIN
  COMPILE  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR1005.baf~ END
  /* Guard House Assault */
ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS ~override/AR0332.bcs~ THEN BEGIN   // pseudo game file (*)
  EXTEND_TOP ~AR0332.bcs~  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR0332.baf~ END ELSE BEGIN
  COMPILE  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR0332.baf~ END
ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS ~override/AR0333.bcs~ THEN BEGIN   // pseudo game file (*)
  EXTEND_TOP ~AR0333.bcs~  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR0333.baf~ END ELSE BEGIN
  COMPILE  ~GBThfKp/Scripts/AR0333.baf~ END

... but I understand that the concerned .bcs might be in one of the bifs
