Hi Ascension,

 

This script block from AR0602 is broken:

 

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
	Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetCursorState(TRUE)
		FadeToColor([1.0],0)
		SmallWait(10)
		MoveViewPoint([0.0],INSTANT)
		StartMovie("SOAINTRO")
		SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
		SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
		Continue()
END

 

You should move setting variables to the top before SetCursorState to read:

 

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
	Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
		SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
		SetCursorState(TRUE)
		FadeToColor([1.0],0)
		SmallWait(10)
		MoveViewPoint([0.0],INSTANT)
		StartMovie("SOAINTRO")
		Continue()
END

 

Otherwise, the cutscene starts, and these variables never get updated. As a result, when you make a save in this area and load it, the game becomes locked in the cutscene mode.

Is there anyone that can confirm the necessity of this code change?

I can't confirm anything since im not good enought, but generally if you have a bug, then some1 comes up with a small change like this to fix it, it's just to make a copy of how it was. Then make the change, if the change doesent fix the problem, you just write it back to what it was....

Well, I can confirm there's merit to make the switch upwards for those Set's, is it necessary(for you) though is a different matter, as I believe it should work on a BGT-weidu -only install just fine, even if it leaves the two GLOBALs unset.

if ENDOFBG1 global is not set than there will be a lot of problems, even without any other mods. For example Edwin will speak his BG1 lines in BG2. I think someone would have noticed problem like this in all these years, so I doubt it is a case for normal installation. But such change should not brake this script block, so I don't see a problem with swapping it like Vlad suggested in OP.
