The Holy Hand Grenade mod turned my light gem into the Holy Hand Grenade while I was still in the Underdark. As a workaround, you can CLUAConsole in misc9r (the light gem) while paused if you are standing in the transition area for the silver dragon's area (ar2102). Click the area transition while the game is still paused and you will shift areas before the clua'd light gem transforms in the HHG.

Technically, the Light Gem transforms into the HHG when Chapter 6 starts, so that should explain why it transforms in the Surface exit.

But what difference does it make it it transforms before or after the underdark? The only real use for it is to kill rabbits lol ... (for which you get the ... oh-so-special reward )

In my install, it fired immediately after I recieved the light gem from the svirfneblin - so I couldn't even enter into Adalon's lair!

Hmmm, now that you mention it, the script that fires seems to check for Chapter 4 and not 6

IF
PartyHasItem("MISC9R")
GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",4)
Global("hf_GemsForGrenades","Global",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("hf_GemsForGrenades","Global",0)
TakePartyItemAll("MISC9R")
ActionOverride(Player1,GiveItemCreate("hf_HHG2",Player1,1,0,0))
DisplayStringHead(Player1,~Something stirs within the cosmos. The Light Gem you received from the gnomes in the underdark has been quasi-dimensionally changed to something else.~)
END

(asking the other guys around) Are chapter numbers numbered from 0 or 1?? I don't think GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",4) checks for Chapter 6 though

Darpaek, if you could, use NearInfinity and try to edit the Baldur.bcs (export it somewhere first ) and find that block, change that to other chapter numbers and try to see if it works

Another fix for the fixpack then??

Lol

[Darpaek]

Yup. Need another fix! (How could no one else have noticed this? The light gem is plot essential!)

[Lollorian]

But like i said, I dunno if GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",4) really checks for Chapter 4. it may do that after all

Just play around with editing the baldur.bcs (change that to GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",5) and GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",6)) to see if it works as intended

Cheers,
Lol

[Lollorian]

Small bump for someone more knowledgeable in globals to comment and hopefully fix this

Cheers,

GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",4) returns true for any chapter higher than chapter 4.

(Additionally, SetGlobal("hf_GemsForGrenades","Global",0) means it will keep happening if you get a second or third or 37th Light Gem.)
