Possible problem with Delon fixes

[Guest Silly Dan]

I posted this over on the BioWare forums http://forums.bioware.com/viewtopic.html?t...48&forum=18, and the other users suggested I note my problem over here too.

 

I've run into a problem with the ranger stronghold quest. Clearing the Temple Ruins and completing the first quest (with Mairyn the forest spirit and Lord Igen Tomblethen) went without a hitch.

Afterwards, I went to Athkatla for some shopping and adventuring. Twice now, Delon was spawned to try and tell me something. Instead of initiating a conversation, however, the words "I have an offer for you, if you wish to hear it" appeared over his head, and he ran away.

 

The first time, I didn't realize who it was, couldn't find him anywhere in the Docks, went through the Unseeing Eye quest, and came back to the Umar Hills only to have the Mayor tell me I'd been fired. The second time, after restarting from my last save in the Umar Hills, I did a few short quests in the city. Delon spawned again outside the Copper Coronet after a few hours in the city, but the game wouldn't let me talk to him and had him leave the area. Again, I returned to the hills to find that I had lost the stronghold.

 

I ended up removing the "Delon fixes" files from my override directory, replaying from an older save, and waiting for Delon to reappear. Without the fixed files, he would either come directly to me or wait for me to talk to him, with the "I have an offer for you, if you wish to hear it" appearing over his head in the meantime. During the conversation, he gave the quest properly, and I ran into no further problems. It appears that the fixed Delon files I downloaded, by stopping him from giving the initial Umar Hills quest twice, had been inadvertently making him disappear as soon as he spawned. The game interpreted this as equivalent to my telling him to go away.

 

It's possible that there's something wrong with the version 6 of the fixpack I downloaded: the halberd+2 in Watcher's Keep is still flagged as stolen, even though gorsta09.cre appears in my override directory.

 

For diagnostics, here's my WeiDU.log file, though only the fixpack claims in the documentation to modify Delon at all. I'm running SoA+ToB, with the latest official patch as well.

If you'd like me to attach the possibly broken files as well, I can do that as soon as I work out how that's done on this board.

I believe I can answer this, at least.

Fixpack makes two changes to that halberd. For one, it changes it to a generic +2 halberd (halb07) instead of the unique +2 halberd (halb03) the creature was carrying before.

 

The fix to remove the 'stolen' flag checks if the halberd is halb03 and only patches if that's the case.
