Ah good ol' Shadows Over Soubar lol.  I am surprised that players actually get to this content at all in mega mod install. so there is progress there ;)  I may come out of retirement and give this a lookover since I never really got a chance back in the day.  I'll have to brush up on my skills since I have moved down to noobish status methinks.

 

Not sure about all those additional NPC mod conflicts wow :crying:

@ Lollorian

 

There's couple exp typos in my NEJ fixpack patches.

 

VPCUTT11.BAF.patch has:

ActionOverride("Xan",AddXPObject(Player1,11250))

it should be:

ActionOverride("Xan",AddXPObject(Player1,15000))

 

VPCUTT20.BAF.patch has:

ActionOverride("TuPhin",AddXPObject(Player1,15750))

it should be:

ActionOverride("TuPhin",AddXPObject(Player1,21000))

Those aren't big problem but i don't want to change Vlad's choice for exp (other mods does that :lol: ).

 

Here's fixed fixpack patches:

 

Update:

Ups made little mistake, refixing patches.

 

Update:

Here's refixed fixpack patches:

@micbaldur You could make such simple edits directly throght github.com web interface. I'm sure that you can request access for the https://github.com/B...G-World-Fixpack repo.

Couple Breagar NPC related problems encountered one new and one old.

 

Breagar NPC: Problem with getting Potion of Green Fire at Tower of Anstinus.

At ACVIRGI.DLG changed Action 22:

ActionOverride(LastTalkedToBy(Myself),CreateItem("ACPOTN48",0,0,0))
DestroySelf()

to:

GiveItemCreate("ACPOTN48",LastTalkedToBy,0,0,0)
DestroySelf()

That's ActionOverride looks odd in dlg-file but what do i know about modding, absolutely nothing.

 

I also had this old cutscene problem.

Breagar NPC: Cutscene hangs during Breagar axe quest.  At AC2001.ARE when Breagar takes you there Galthur (ACGAL.CRE) is suppose to talk to you but he takes damage (8) and dies because he has only 1 hitpoint.  Fixed locally by changing "Current HP" from 1 to 93. Don't know why hitpoints can't be full 93 though also don't have any idea why he gets "damage".

 

I have finished almost all vanilla area quest and so on and starting to do mod added arreas. So lot to do before i start chapter 3.

 

Shit 6 party slot slows my game (so many ladies to romance and also other NPCs and their quests and so on). I really could use use extra party slots, maybe 10 sounds about right.

 

Little side project for some ambitious modder,  :whistling:  maybe Lollorian might get interested :P probably not though. :D

 

Well, I can always dream about 10 party member mod though.

Thanks again Lollorian. :coolthumb:

 

Encountered nearly game breaking bug at Planar Sphere.

 

Planar Sphere Mod: At Planar Sphere Tutor says that he gives gold as reward but i get nothing.

Changed Action 1 at PSTUTOR6.DLG:

GivePartyGold(8000)

to:

GiveGoldForce(8000)

Bug is bug. :P

 

Update:

Forgotten to report this.

 

Keto NPC: Keto's (BFWKETO.DLG) banter with Jaheira fires even though she's in party.

 

Banter:

Jaheira, as of late I've been remembering a tale I heard once, one which I think you may find interesting. Would you indulge me a little and listen?

It has odd in party check:

IfValidForPartyDialogue("Keto")
See("Keto")
!StateCheck("Keto",STATE_SLEEPING)

Maybe it should be:

IfValidForPartyDialogue("Jaheira")
See("Jaheira")
!StateCheck("Jaheira",STATE_SLEEPING)

BP Ascension: I think that BP Ascension overwrites AR6200.BCS and wipe out all mod added NPC bioses up to that point only couple remains (installed after BP).

 

At BP_TOP.TPH:

COMPILE ~bp/ascend/snip/ar6200.baf~

Maybe it should be:

EXTEND_TOP ~bp/ascend/snip/ar6200.baf~

or:

EXTEND_BOTTOM ~bp/ascend/snip/ar6200.baf~

Not NPC bios matters much at that point. :P

 

Update:

More bios problems at AR6200.

 

The Undying: Typo at CAR6200.BAF probably causing Ninafer's bios not to show up.

At CAR6200.BAF:

TextScreen("CMNINA1")

maybe it should be:

TextScreen("cmniand1")

Not that bios matters that much :P but bugs are bugs.

 

Update2:

Yet one more bios problem.

 

Kiara-Zaiya NPC: Typo at ZAI6200.baf causing one of the Zaiya's bios not to show up.

At ZAI6200.baf:

TextScreen("ZAIREND3")

maybe it should be:

TextScreen("ZAIEND3")

 

Also there's problem with one of the Aran's bios but didn't bother to check it because i don't care about male NPCs that much. :P

 

TextScreen("C-ARNE24")

Yet again nearly game breaking bug uncountered. :o

 

Tower of Deception: There's Script Name typo at VA#TELEP.BCS.

Changed:

ActionOverride("va#pand1",DestroySelf())

to:

ActionOverride("va#panda",DestroySelf())

Minor totally harmless bug is bug too. :P

BP ToB Improvements:

Not that simple unfortunately :(

The script is indeed a replacement so should not be EXTENDed - so BP #1750 needs to be installed before any NPC that has a ToB epilogue (or adds to AR6200.BCS)

 

The rest however... :cheers:

So BP component 1750 2000 "Ascension for BP" needs to be installed before TS v7.04.

 

I'll make necessary changes to my install notes and to my install bat-file, hopely Leonardo update BWP sometime in future.

 

Thanks yet again. :cheers:

 

Update:

Corrected component number.

Shit! Yeah thanks for correcting the component number - it's BP #2000 (Ascension for BP) Not #1750 (ToB Improvements) :doh:

There's one problem though. :o

 

Is BP component 0 "Big Picture, core component (required for most subcomponents)" needed for component 2000 "Ascension for BP". I don't know. :blink:

 

Luckily i'm not re-installing BWP anytime soon so others solves this issue before that. :P

Gloran NPC: When i kickout Gloran from party he goes to Copper Coronet (AR0406) at Slums but Minsc is same place. So Gloran needs to be moved a little.

At GLORANP.DLG changed Action 3:

EscapeAreaMove("AR0406",1178,1386,0)

to:

EscapeAreaMove("AR0406",1211,1420,0)

Minsc is vanilla NPC so Gloran has to move.

Lester NPC: There's little problem with Lester's kickout dialogue.

In LESTP.DLG i say:

No, you should leave. Go to the Copper Coronet, everyone there is always too drunk to notice your stench.

But he doesn't go to Copper Coronet he just leaves party.

"Fixed" by adding to Action 1:

SetGlobal("LestJoin","GLOBAL",0)
EscapeAreaMove("AR0406",1237,1451,0)
