Is there anyway to export NPC characters?

Post by FatLink »

I tried exporting imoen with sword coast keeper (like gate keeper) as a creature file then just changing the extension to chr. that didnt work and i didnt expect it to. anyways, i got to the end of the game and there is this glitch on my save that makes the cinema repeat and repeat when i enter the temple of bhaal, so i want to import my party into a multiplayer mission pack save. any ideas on how to export NPCs?

I have not tried this but it might work. Get Near Infinity (http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~joh/ni/) and edit the savegame. Specifically, edit the CREs of the other party members and make them exportable.

Well not a know bug, but your not the first person to have had this problem.
You have to disable the movies to continue.
Will do a search to see if i can find how to do that.

Found it

You can disable the movies in the game by editing your baldur.ini file.
Go the the section labled "Program Options" and add a line saying "Disable Movies=1" anywhere in that section.
I recommand making a backup first in case something goes wrong.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

i tried putting Disable Movies=1 under the program options and it didnt work so i tried the game options and that didnt work either. so i looked it up on the internet and i found out that it was only for BG2 that you can do that command.

sorry about the ouble post, i figured out how to fix it. i used sword coast keeper (like gate keeper) to edit the global variables. there is a variable that is supposed to be added everytime to enter somewhere with i cinema i guess, and i tested this with my working missionpack save. the variable is called ENTEREDTEMPLEBHAAL and when you have seen the cinema, it should get set to 1. i found it on my mission pack save and put it into my save and now the cinema doesnt repeat. im so happy. thanks for your help guys.

Weird it should have worked, had the same problem myself once on my old PC.
Have you checked the correct spelling (capital letters etc.)?

Luckily your problem is already solved. Good luck in the final battle!
