Edited Item Data displays cutscene text (IEEP, Shadow Keeper)

04 June 2013 - 10:09 PM

Hey there! Thanks for checking on this, and sorry in advance if this is a common problem that I should know how to fix.

 

My original intent was to make a custom armor for a Fighter/Mage charname that would let him cast spells, and put it into the BGTutu game I'm running. I changed a few things around on some armor in the Item Maker (version 1.2.2) of Infinity Engine Editor Pro (version 1.0.0.9) and stuck the resultant product into the "override" folder of BGTutu.

 

When I looked at it in the Item Browser of Shadow Keeper, though, all I saw for the item name was some of the text from the Candlekeep scrolling text intro scene, about being raised by Gorion, and the item description was just two paragraphs from later in that text block.

 

After messing around with it a bit and trying a few times more, with similar results, I removed the file, and tried again, this time extracting a normal Splint Mail and only editing the description a little bit. I ended up with the same problem, this time with text from the scrolling text scene about Gorion being dead, but only for the item description, not item name. "You will not last long on your own with your meager equipment. Perhaps you can get some help from the friends Gorion mentioned, the ones at the Friendly Arm Inn."

 

When I try to extract the item through Shadow Keeper, I get a pop-up that just says, "Unable to locate the resource in the file." I don't know what's causing this; I haven't put the item in the game in any way, I've only edited it with IEEP and opened it with Shadow Keeper. I've used WinBiff, but not on this item. I've checked that Shadow Keeper is looking at the Tutu directory, and not a different one.

Has anyone had this happen to them, or know what might be going down? Any insight would be heavily appreciated.
