Bug with Manveru's NPC......read (ToB spoilers)

Post by Edwin »

A few time ago i've downloaded Manveru's BGI NPC.....they're great!!!!!
But yesterday i arrived at the end of ToB and i experienced some dialogue bugs....i explain:
1- when importing my party after the end of SoA and all the movies, i talked to Sarevok and he only said that he was waiting for me, then the dialogue bar said continue but the dialogue ended....so i cannot go on....

2- at the end of Watcher Keep i talked to the ghostly apparition, he explained the different opportunities but i cannot choos ethem....

3- at the very end, after defeating Melissan for the third time, the solar appeared, and something like with sarevok happened, so i couldn't finish the game

So i uninstalled the game, cleared all the overwrited files (all the downloaded NPC) and it was ok...the dialogues with sarevok and solar at the end were ok (i didn't have a saved game in Watcher...)

I decided to post this if some of you have downloaded these NPC in order not to have the same problems i had. And for Manveru, so that he can change his incredibly nice NPC...

I find this bug very strange for 2 reasons:

1.) Manveru to the best of my knowledge did not use any custom dialogs in his NPCs it was straight out of the dialog tlk and did not modify them.Thus the dialog tlk should be fine.

2.)Global Variables used are generic "Kicked out of party" variables and would not overwrite any existing in game ones.

Neverless if you tell me which Npc you are having a problem with I will take a look at it for Manveru since he is probably busy, and notify him (and you) of anything I find.

Very well - I'm here - The main problem with these NPCs for ToB seems to be with editing 2da files that controlls all needed resource files.

Edwin, sorry for this technical mumbling that should be put rather on TeamBG, not here.

All these points that you have mentioned are connected with the fact that my 2da files doesnt contain support for Sarevok or any other ToB resources.

There is also one more thing : if you have used my NPCs you have probably noticed that there were no interactions between party members at all.

I will have to put on my page ToB patch that will eliminate all problems with it.

I managed finally to borrow Polish version of Throne of Bhaal (*sigh* "Tron Bhaala" ). And using my capabilities I have made something that could be named Polish+American hybrid , all texts in English with Polish voices, lol (Polish version sucks). That is why I was busy some time lately (+real life matters, but it doesn't matter here)

Now my customization moves to another stage as well...............
So sayeh
