I like the updated version of SOA.  But, I cannot enter the necromancer's cave.  I have the other four Talismans. Talking to Aranor or Cearwin gives nothing new.  All I can tell them is I am still looking.

 

Is the cave located on another area other than Tradeway South (AR3200)?  If yes, I will search again.

 

The only related problem is that many areas do not have names on my map and this is one of the areas without a name.

Yes, Cave is in Tradeway South (AR3200, x 1625 y 3500).

It should be said also that it's not in the vanilla BGT game... some other mod adds it.

I have highlighted the SOA data in red.  From the NI data, entrances 0 to 3 are where the roads meet the area edge.  Entrance 4 is the DSotSC cave.  Entrance 5 is the SOA cave.  Entrance 6 is another cave, but I do not know from which mod.  I assume it is from BG1NPC.  I can get into Entrance 4 and Entrance 6 as they show the icon for the entrance.  I do not get that icon for the SOA cave, but the entrance is clearly seen.

 

How can I make the icon appear?  Do I need to CLUA into the cave?  If I need to CLUA into the cave, I will have to find its area code.  I saw a warning that using CLUA to move from area to area can cause problems with the game so I am trying to find another way into the cave.  I realize there may not be another way.  But if there is, I assume that would be a better option.

 

I also assume the NI x,y numbers are for the lower right corner of the tile the entrances are in.

Hi Tom.

 

Chech that AR3200.BCS has these blocks:

IF
    GlobalLT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",FALSE)
        Continue()
END

IF
    GlobalGT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",TRUE)
        Continue()
END

Then check that global "CearwinQuest" is GREATER that 1 aka 2 or more.

[tomkaz]

Hi micbaldur:

 

Global "CearwinQuest" is 2.  The following code is missing.

 

IF
    GlobalGT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",TRUE)
        Continue()
END

 

I am assuming I am beyound the point where this code shoud have opened the cave.  I will try changing "CearwinQuest" to 1 and see what happens.

 

Tom

 

Changed "CearwinQuest" to 1.  It did not open the cave.

If you set that global to 1 exit is DISABLED so you can't enter.

 

Block:

IF
    GlobalLT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",FALSE)
        Continue()
END

disables entrance so you can't enter.

 

Block:

IF
    GlobalGT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",TRUE)
        Continue()
END

enables entance so that you can enter it.

 

You need to add missing block:

IF
    GlobalGT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",TRUE)
        Continue()
END

to AR3200.BCS then reload save and then you can enter it. Don't put that global to 1 let it be 2.

Hi micbaldur:

 

AR3200.BCS is a large file.  Where does the code go?  Do you have a line number?

Actually that doesn't matter much but put it after normal SOA blocks aka at line 22:

IF
    Global("TeldornMessSpawn","GLOBAL",0)
    GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        CreateCreature("TELMESS1",[2142.1648], // Teldorn Messenger
        CreateCreature("TELMESS2",[1960.1487],2) // Teldorn Messenger
        CreateCreature("TELAGENT",[2072.1603],10) // Teldorn Agent
        CreateCreature("HARPMESS",[2030.1620],2) // Harper Scout
        CreateCreature("TELFGHT1",[2080.1640],10) // Teldorn Fighter
        CreateCreature("STONEGOL",[2080.1580],10) // Stone golem
        SetGlobal("TeldornMessSpawn","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
    GlobalLT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",FALSE)
        Continue()
END

IF
    GlobalGT("CearwinQuest","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        TriggerActivation("DoorS001",TRUE)
        Continue()
END

IF
    Global("DROWITEMCHECKDONE","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        ClearAllActions()
        StartCutSceneMode()
        MultiPlayerSync()
        SetInterrupt(FALSE)
        Wait(1)
        Continue()
END

Hi micbaldur:

 

Thanks for your help.  Hope this helps others who also have this version.
