Found the banter glitch bugger I think... We're setting the wrong locals!
Good catch.

IF ~CombatCounter(0)
!See([ENEMY])
Detect([PC])
!StateCheck([PC],CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
!StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
Global("CANPC","LOCALS",0)~ THEN BEGIN CandellaPC
SAY ~<CHARNAME>, tell me about your family?~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Only if you tell me about yours first.~ DO ~SetGlobal("TCCANPC","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO CandellaPC2
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Quit asking about my family! They are dead, alright!~ DO ~SetGlobal("TCCANPC","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO CandellaPC1
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~You sure have a good sense of timing, Candella. I just lost my family and you had to ask about it now?~ DO ~SetGlobal("TCCANPC","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO CandellaPC1
END

Most of the romance options are fairly incomplete or as yet not implemented, and lordy do they take awhile to write.
Currently the ratio is way in favour of the male PCs by terms of quantity and completion, in fact I think only two of them are actually in the game proper so far.

Current in-game male romances are: (Also spoiler tags for those who wish it.)

Spoiler

Aleigha, Chaarna, Ilhara, Fala'stra, Rivian.

Might've missed someone, but there you go.

Candella bug already found and correct for next version. My latest test with her has several banters now working as they should.

I believe that list of romances is correct. I can't think of anyone else. Several are much further along than others.

The dragon priest holds a healing scroll, so he knows how to use it if he can.

Not helping the Silver Princess is going to net you nothing (why should you get XP for not helping?). However, I can't remember if we give XP for helping. So you may not get any either way. I'll have to see and give some XP for doing the right thing.

BTW, if I recall the ghost doesn't reappear to attack you even though she says he will. Something else I need to look at.

[Sir BillyBob]

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.

That last post reminded me that I've also had troubles with casting holy spells from scrolls. Notably I noticed this with the vanilla spell Animate Dead. Neither Rurik (at level 4 cleric) nor Erky (also at level 4) was able to cast this. The scroll just disappears from the quickslot with no action, and no message indicating failure.

Not a bug, but... The Lizardman asks you to return from Saltmarsh within a week. Yes, 'a week' is what he says. But they don't have weeks in FR, they only have tendays

That's one of the older dialogues in the project, and may be subject to review changes should it prove really necessary, and even then only in cosmetic terms - only otherwise in the cases of much needed expansion. That said, one could try and argue that a tenday counts as a week to the FR people, but the magic timer says no.

Either way for the time being old content doesn't have the highest priority unless something gets broken along the way. It will be worked upon when possible, until then we can only ask for patience regarding the various quirks you'll see along the way (most particular for the advocates of evil PCs).

I found bunch of things but the thing that most bugs me is Aleigha. Man, I tryed every possible thing but that girl need a serious work up. Lets see, two dwarves gone first, check, one and only critical hit on Cath worth 44 damage after he wet his pants and decided to become blue, check, ( BTW, that hit should have killed him which means your item works for him ) then Dirbert goes critical on her, then one more arrow, her circle started to change but noo, she mutters some nonsense about honorable combat, I healed her then again all from the start, her circle started to change AND finally... she informed me she need healing. Then I charmed her, reverted her to human form, tryed to talk to her, nada. Then I had Shadow to slowly practice archery on her, couple of times her circle started to change but to my huge disappointment she continued to throw rubbish like barb slinger and so on. About 10 or so games I played the result is always the same: priest joins me and she feeds the earth. What's the catch?

Way that thing's scripted seems that there's a specific order to how the fight should proceed. Knock out honourable wearbear, she joins, follow up with priest McGuffin and then the two dwarves. Alternatively the dwarves, then them in the same order - this could lead to some running around.

Personally not a fan of such things, but not my field of expertise so I'll pass that on.

Would agree it goes by a little too quickly thanks to Robin Blondie, then again last thing we'd want is a useless archer.

3. Miscellaneous
You get nothing for rescuing Saltmarsh kids. True, journal entry recorded it in finished quests but also remained in active quests and you get nothing, not even simbolic reward. Also, what is with the key you recive from mayor after he is arrested? You just open secret door, find a bunch of barrels and two potions and that it? Nobody mention it again, nothing like bravo PC we will sell it and feed the poor or something like that. Also I'm surprised that Shadow has nothing to say after we butchered that bounty hunters who were after her ( tough fight I tell you, these guys aren't normal, every other hit was critical ). And finally when you send Erky and Paraway to wait in Saltmarsh inn when you return you will find them in same spot under one blue circle. Weird and unimpractical.
Wow, this was the longest post I ever send. Except Aleigha thing I immenesly enjoy in this mod.

For some strange reason, Paraway and Erky appear to share the same coordinates for leaving.

Like what was said before, not much of Classic Adventures has been fully expanded upon yet, though it is being worked on, later sections of the game, and characterization, still take greater precedence for the time being.

Keep the reports coming everyone, we really appreciate it.

[Sir BillyBob]

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.

[Sir BillyBob]

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.
