Jaheira/Aerie Romance Bug *spoiler*

brucepickett · Post by **brucepickett** » Thu May 17, 2001 5:56 am

I've completed the Jaheira romance through killing Dermin. At each "lovetalk" event (it's the one where I ask about last night except I don't remember anything special happening last night) no matter what I do Jaheira and Aerie experience movement issues. If I click on a spot for them to move they may or may not move or only go part of the way. It makes it impossible to play. If I kick Aerie out of the party then Jaheira's fine but if I pick Aerie back up the problem recurs. I've found that this bug happens whenever the jaheiraromanceactive variable switches to 2 from 1. I have both the official patch and the latest Baldurdash. Anyone have a solution? My interim plan is just to increment the variable back to 1 after lovetalk but aside from being a pain it means I will never successfully complete the jaheira romance...

My patch corrects many problems that are not corrected by Baldurdash patch, so try to install it and reload game before you asked her about last night. My website : [url="http://www.worldzone.net/games/manveru"]www.worldzone.net/games/manveru[/url] on Jaheira's page.

event (it's the one where I ask about last night except I don't remember anything special happening last night)

I assume that she didn't asked you if you want to spend the night with her - it is one still unresolved problem not necessary connected with her romance script files but rather with used method of dialogue starting : Their appearance could be easily interrupted what causes that some variables are not changed properly and game does some strange things.

There is only one solution so far : Install my patch , load savegame before you asked about last time and try to play - condition for last dialogue in Jaheira's romance was choosing "rest party" button.

good luck.

Thanks. I took a look at your site and there's some interesting stuff there. Great analysis of the various romance variables. I think I definitely had a problem with maybe geting to high lovetalk numbers too fast. But, I don't think your patch would fix the movement problems I have gotten.

BP,
I"ve had the same problem and i've got Jaheira and Viconia in the party. They both won't move where you want them to. And i've noticed this happened after i put in Manveru's patch. Not sure if there is a connection. Since this only just started happening recently.

Hmm, I will have to look into this.. Today I have assesment from maths but tommorow I will spend some time for my customization, so we will see.

The problem you have is due to having 2 active romances at once. The best way to correct this, if you want to finish the Jaheira romance, is to set the AerieRomanceActive to 3, ending that romance. After doing that both of them should move normally. I hope this helps.

Thanks. I actually already tried setting the Aerieromanceactive variable to 3. Guess what? It switched back to 1 on it's own!

So, here's what I did. I copied my latest saved game into the multiplayer save game folder then started the game in multiplayer mode. I made Aerie drop ALL of her equipment on the ground and then dismissed her from the party. I then saved, quit, and restarted. Since I had an open character slot the game let me create a new character to fill it. I created "Earie", an exact replica of Aerie except she started as a half-elf mage/cleric, level 6/6. I then had her pick up and equip all of Aerie's stuff then saved and closed. I then used shadowkeeper to edit Earie's remaining stats (levels, experience, hit points, THACO, etc.) to be exactly like dear departed Aerie, saved again and copied back to the single-player save folder. So, I have the same party except that instead of Aerie screwing up my romance with Jaheira and making annoying comments ("Faster than Chiquita Fastpaws", etc.) I have a nice loyal servant. Cheating? No, since I didn't give myself anything I didn't already have and just fixed a bug...

Before I forget: anyone know the various Jaheira lovetalks? I have to reset mine but don't know where to put it. 59 is the "last battle" with Dermin one, 70 is hte "about last night" talk. Need to know what's in the middle...

Manveru · Post by **Manveru** » Fri May 18, 2001 7:26 am

Last battle is lovetalk=52 not 59 .

If you have such a value then your romance is messed up.

from later and more important there are :

lv=53 "Is this an inconvenient "
lv=55 "Dawning our day"
lv=57 fight with dermin
lv=59 starts when you choose rest party option
lv=61 don't remember
lv=63 ----//----
lv=65 don't remember
lv=67 ----//---- jaheira's offer
lv=69 ----//---b "about last night"
lv=70 2nd terminsels appearance

@For everyone that have these movement problems with my patch :

Please, send me your savegame with this problem, so I could find more details.

I checked it yesterday : Joined Viconia to the group when Jaheira had lovetalk=41 and forced Viconia's dialogues one after another - but I wasn't able to cause any movement problems in case of eighter Viconia or Jaheira or both of them.

So, again I would be grateful if you could send me savegame with this bug so I will have the possibility to analyzse it.

The same thing about Aerie..

I had a similar problem, concerning movement... it had to with equipment if I recall. I believe it was the Staff of the Magi.. it (being the game) would cast Protection from Evil every couple of seconds, truncating movement.

Just thought that I'd share a similar situation; perhaps it will shed some light on this odd bug.

Hmm.. I really don't know where is the problem so far : I've checked scripts of Jaheira, Aerie and Viconia, but I didn't find anything that could cause strange loops or anything else that may cause movement problems. With some savegame with this bug I will be able to do more.

Manveru: I can send you the bugged save game file. What address should I send to? -BP
