While travelling between the areas east of Nashkel with my 2-3 level party, I've got ambushed by 'nothing'. No one showed up. I didn't have neither BG Spawn nor BGT Spawn mods installed - just BGT 1.23.1.

 

Which data files control random encounters ?

I seem to remember such a bug from years past, but I never reported it myself and it seems it was never properly investigated.

I would remember, that the last time this happened to me(haven't played BGT-weidu for a long time), the monsters showed up after a while. Wolves or something.


Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

areas east of Nashkel

Could you be more specific, please? It would definitely help to know between which areas and what time of the day. Maybe there's a gap hour we need to find in one of the encounter scripts:

  • AR4700     Random Encounter Area: Plains
  • AR4701     Random Encounter Area: Plains
  • AR4800     Random Encounter Area: Canyon
  • AR4801     Random Encounter Area: Canyon
  • AR4900     Random Encounter Area: Cliff
  • AR4901     Random Encounter Area: Cliff
  • AR5100     Random Encounter Area: Grassland
  • AR5101     Random Encounter Area: Grassland
  • AR5300     Random Encounter Area: Forest
  • AR5301     Random Encounter Area: Forest
  • AR5400     Random Encounter Area: Road

I checked those areas and found two BGT scripts with a one hour gap.

 

AR4901.BAF:

 


TimeGT(2) 
TimeLT(4)

 

should be:

 

TimeGT(2) 
TimeLT(5)

 

and AR5100.BAF:

 


TimeGT(4) 
TimeLT(DAWN_START)

 

should be:

 

 TimeGT(4)
 TimeLT(DAWN_END)

Thanks, Salk! Done. And thank you, Azdul, for reporting that :)
