Ajantis BG1 Expansion Modifikation Diskussion

[Kulyok]

I'm playing and enjoying Ajantis's friendship now, however, I've got a slight issue I thought I might report:

 

Pre-story: I started a true neutral human female character(upon reading in the BG1 NPC romance guide that Ajantis wouldn't romance her), however I forgot that romance guide was incorrect and Ajantis indeed romances true neutral females with a high reputation. I realized it too late, however, and was able to switch off the romance just in time, after LT10(variable value=21).

 

So, I switched to friendship and Ajantis's dialogues have begun. But instead of going to C#AjantisPCTalk=25, as variable transfer file would suggest, I started receiving talks from the very beginning of the friendship, i.e. we got the talk about Helm again, the talk about paladin order's structure again and so on. Which is probably not what should happen, because it looks like Ajantis's got a slight memory loss.

 

I couldn't find anything wrong with the scripts, though: they are complicated, but they look fine. So I can't exactly pinpoint the source of the problem. Using BG1 NPC v18(sure of it) and Ajantis BG1 v4(I think).

Thank you for this report! Although it's rather depressing. I spent so much effort in preventing exactly this, and now it's not working! Do you remember after/ at which dialogue you told him that you are not interested?

And you are right about the wrong documentation. Funny thing is, I thought I only included druids as neutral characters. Well, guess he is not as picky as I thought!

[Kulyok]

I know it can be annoying. Sorry! I told him after "caring family dialogue"(with variable value set to 21, as I wrote above). Exact quote from .tra "Talking about our homes has made me once again realize how lucky I was to be born into such a caring family".

[jastey]

Thank you! I will investigate. I would be very happy if you might keep one savegame so I could check on the variables, but this won't happen before next week. EDIT. And yes, you already wrote after which LT it was. I was in a hurry, as it seems, not reading properly.

Okay, sent the save to @web.de address I saw in Ajantis's .tp2.

[jastey]

Received. Thank you very much!

[jastey]

OK, now this is really weird... I had a look at the variables, and as much as I can see, the variable C#AjanFP_NoPCTalks is at 1, which means that theoretically, Ajantis shouldn't talk at all - why this variable was set I don't know, as all the trigger variables from the BG1NPC Project (including the LoveTalk number) do not fulfill the criteria. This might have prevented the right Ajantis friendship talk variable to be set (the one that would have spared you the repetitions).

But, as I said, actually you shouldn't have had any friendship talks, as there is a check for the C#AjanFP_NoPCTalks variable in every trigger block (and considering there is no OR in BG1 there are many).

 

So, a variable was set and I don't know why, this might have prevented the correct variable from being set, and all dialogues trigered but I don't know why.

I have to admit I don't know what to do with this. You don't happen to have a savegame before you killed the romance, do you? EDIT: And you would do me a great favor to look whether you really have version 4.

Alas, as I've said, I only have one save file - I overwrite all the time. I think I had v4: at least it's in my BG2 mods directory with lots of other mods and versions - but it's not installed now because I've completed the game and gone to finish my Planescape:Torment run.

 

I'm sorry that I can't explain it, either: I can only relay what happened in my playthrough. I guess not many people stopped the romance so late(after LT10, anyway). If I may guess, it may have something to do with OUTER_SPRINT variables(never trusted those, anyway), so the installed files would look different from the ones in the mod. But it's just a guess.

[jastey]

To actually have a look at the compiled files is a good idea. I trust the OUTER_SPRINT, though, made good experience with it in BGQE and also here. The variables in question are not compiled via OUTER_SPRINT anyway, it's only the things that differ in BG1 and BGII engines (like no real timers in BG1, and no StartDialogNoSet() I like to use for Tutu/BGT).

I will have to investigate this further by installing and playing, I guess. If I look at the bafs I can't explain what happened. Thank you again for the report!

jastey,

On Rosenranken it says "Download: Version 5 ~0 Byte", and while the actually downloaded file is 502kB - it seems to be corrupt (can't open it natively in W7 or with any extractor).

[jastey]

Sorry, I updated the download with, ahem, updated readme. It should work now. Thank you for the report, though!

[Dakk]

Sure does! Seems I snuck in too early

 

Thanks!

Looked through the tra-files for v5 and found the following typos. Some errors in Ajantis_friendship_d.tra was already corrected in AjantisLTs.tra and I have used those corrections below.

 

Ajantis_friendship_d.tra:

 

@133 = ~I agree with "you will never rule a country". The rest I didn't listen carefully enough.~

 

listen carefully -> listen to carefully

 

@284 = ~You mean because I'm a thief?! Do you think I am not a <PRO_MANWOMAN> of honor just because I'm a thief?! Ajantis, we've spent some time together, and you've seen me working; havn't you noticed I only use my talents to *avoid* fights and to solve conflicts without bloodshed?!~

 

havn't -> haven't

 

@393 = ~At this time and for an age afterwards, many battles were fought. Orcs, trolls and other fell beasts threatened the human settlements. It was around 950 in Dale Reckoning when a mage called Ahghairon became special advisor to Waterdeep's Warlord of that time. It was Ahghairon's magic that lead to a great victory over the assailants.~

@395 = ~From that time, on we have had a different way of counting the years than elsewhere in the North. It is called Northreckoning, and it starts with Ahghairon becoming the first Open Lord of Waterdeep. In Dale Reckoning, this would be the year 1032.~

 

time, on we -> time on we

 

@396 = ~Once, when the Guild masters have taken over the city by brutally killing the majority of the Lords. It had only been ninety-five years since the surviving Lords beat them back. Waterdeep has been guided by their collective will ever since.~

@465 = ~Would you take a look at my family shield, <CHARNAME>? This is our coat of arms: a dragon with metallic green body and orange eyes, on a golden field. You might think that this belongs to a proud knight's family, and it was made to terrify Ilvastarrs' foes in battle. And yet it is the result of the artistic aspirations of my great-grandfather.~

@466 = ~ Would you take a look at my family coat of arms here on my surcoat: a dragon with metallic green body and orange eyes, on a golden field.

@558 = ~As you wish. Thinking about it, I had little contact with the kids of my own age, except for Imoen. But there were nice people around: Dreppin, the stable master, Fuller, the commander of Candlekeep Guard, and Hull, one of the guards.

Phylidia -> Phlydia

 

@617 = ~Have a look at my sword, <CHARNAME>. It is maintained properly, as I take great care for it. What use will our weapons be if we do not maintain them properly? I am keeping to Helm's dogma: 'Care for your weapons, so they may perform their duties when called upon'.~

@70 = ~My love... <CHARNAME>, is it really your wish to wear this strange belt, with it's... consequences? How should I call you now, is "my lady" still appropriate? This is confusing me to no end... If I may say so, I would prefer you get it removed as soon as possible.~

@179 = ~*Ajantis helps you to take off your back pack and starts massaging your shoulders and back firmly.* I will try to ease your pain, my lady. Let me start... Where is it hurting, here? Your muscles are very tense, my lady. I am sure it will be better shortly.~
