Hi, folks. I'm having trouble getting into Rayic Gethras' house in the docks for the Mae'Var's treachery quest in chapter 2. After speaking to Edwin, my journal says his door is supposed to be open when he's home -- but it's never open. I've tried waiting for weeks (with Ctrl-T) in front of his door, going off and doing other quests, changing party members... He's never home, or, at least, his door is never open.

Posting here about it because I've never had trouble with this in previous times through the game, and this is the first time I've installed BP. Any ideas?

Thanks

BP doesn't change that area that I can think of. What other mods did you install, i.e. UB, CtB, etc?

[Covaithe]

Didn't install any mods besides BP. My install is, as far as I can tell, word for word with the BP manual install instructions excepting that I used the patch version 7 instead of 5.

Anyway, I did CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("dcowl1") to spawn him outdoors and kill him, which still doesn't get me into his house, but gets me past that step of the quest.

i've never ever had, nor heard, of this problem in BP - so the logical question is 'what other mods do you have installed?', as i'm guessing some other mod has badly altered the area yr trying to enter (or possibly the docks area).

the workaround is to remove all .bcs, .are and .wed files in yr override folder that refer to these areas (AR0300 - the docks, and AR0315 - ground floor, reyric's house)

Yes, but removing this script will also remove TDD elements such as Robillard.

The safest way is to make sure these two global variables are set to these values:

 Global("EdwinJob","GLOBAL",1)
  Global("CowledDoor","GLOBAL",0)

This will cause the door to unlock and open, plus set the CowledDoor variable to 1.

You can do this with either NearInfinity, or with the CLUA console in-game.

yeah, true. i think i might have misread the post - i thought the area was crashing, not simply inaccessible. if it's crashing, it's usually easiest - tho you lose all the BP goodness - to remove the corrupted files. if the door simply isn't opening, then yes, all that is needed are a few changed globals.

  Global("CowledDoor","GLOBAL",0)

This doesn't seem to work for me. After talking to Edwin to get the quest, I look at the global vars list in ShadowKeeper (can't seem to figure this out in NI) and see that EDWINJOB is 1 and there's no CowledDoor. Setting CowledDoor with CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CowledDoor","GLOBAL",0) doesn't seem to do anything; the door stays locked.
