After managing SoA+ToB with my non-romantic half-orc I started a new game to have romance.So I chose a female fighter,picked up Anomen,did some Quests and waited. but up to now nothing happend.one time he wanted to know why I did not asked him for his adventures.I was realy friendly and let him tell my about his big fights and how brave he was. I thougth"Cool,it`s gonna work with us",cause he never said this when Iwas the male half-orc. But this was the last time he talked to me... I`m already in the third chapter and anomen has already become SIR Anomen: so isn`t it time for another talk? (once he left my party short cause he was turned to stone,but I get him out of the stone immidiatly and took him in my party again ...don`t know wether this might be important)
what am I doing wrong , ordoes it always go slow like this?


Talk about your Anomen-experience and help the helpless Bunny.Please!

Hi Easter Bunny,

The romance will most likely have ended when Anomen was petrified. Most romances in the game end if the character leaves the group for any reason, with the exception of a few scripted events.

If you can, you might want to go back to a savegame before Anomen got turned to stone and carry on from there.

(sigh) so I have to restart the whole game,I didn`t leave any save file before this... will miss my old character
Is there any chance to save him?



However, thanks Mr Flibble

You don't have to restart. Here's exactky what you do.

You'll have to have CLUAConsole enabled for this, though.

SetGlobal(“CheckAnomenMatch”,”GLOBAL”,1)
SetGlobal(“AnomenMatch”,”GLOBAL”,1)
SetGlobal(“AnomenRomanceActive”,”GLOBAL”,1)
SetGlobal(“AnomenJoined”,”GLOBAL”,1)
SetGlobal(“AnomenRomance”,”GLOBAL”,1)
SetGlobal(“LoveTalk”,”LOCALS”,1) – you have to select Anomen with pointer for this

Since you're doing a female, you can skip the first two.

GetGlobal("AnomenRomanceActive","GLOBAL")
That should say it's listed as 3, meaing romance dead.
Use SetGlobal to set it to 1, meaning the romance is beginning.

Then just follow all the other commands and you'll have your romance back in no time.

Hey,that`s cool! I already feared that I have to beginn a third time.The only problem is that I have not the faintest idea of things like that,and altough this is a good step-by-step describe
I don`t now how to start. "SetGlobal" sounds good,but where can I find this stuff and- ...you see it isn`t easy to teach me

O.K. this is based on win 95/98 OS so, go into your BGII directory without the game started. the default directory is C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA. Go to a file called "baldur.ini", double click on it ( a single click on the files gives you the name of the file as well as its extension i.e. .ini, .exe, etc..)this will open the file. Under the program options heading type in a new line, "debug mode=1" without the quotes. ( you may want to back up your .ini file before you do this to be safe. ) save the file then start your game. during the game hit ctrl-spacebar at the same time, this will open a "command line" at the bottom of the screen, type in the commands listed in this thread and hit enter. Any more questions please feel free to post them.

Uhm,yes,I would like to know wether I can destroy anything or cause other catastrophes that are irreparable.

you'll want to back up the file, just in case. but this command was used by the programmers to assist in debugging the game, so it is not an "outside" command. so you should not have any problems. Again back up your file to be sure.

edit: I should note that you need to type in the commands one at a time and hit enter.

Uhm,yes,I would like to know wether I can destroy anything or cause other catastrophes that are irreparable.

well, if you give CLUA a good command then you obviously know what you're doing. If you give it a bad command, then you either know what you're doing and can therefore set it back, or don't know what you're doing in which case you will probably have written something unintelligable to the console and it will give you a polite (if garbled) message telling you that your syntax is bad or something.
It is very difficult to do anything bad with CLUA by accident and impossible to do anything irreversable. Have fun

OK,I tried all this and it worked(hurray!),I can open this little window down the screen,but when I started to type in the text I realized that there`s another problem: the( ") for example look like(@) it is maybe because of my german keyboard(?)
Do Ihave to go on with this (@)or do I have to look for the(")-key?

Look for the " key because they are different. At least as far as I remember, my german is a bit rusty

So i`m gonna try it again.


Aber auch hier schon ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle,die sich die Mühe machen mir hier zu helfen!

(just for practise...)

I think I`m still doing something wrong at typing.That is what was written when I entered the text:

****************************************************
SetGlobal("CheckAnomenMatch","GLOBAL",1)
lua:call expression not a function
Active stack
Active stack

****************************************************
and this does not mean it was succesfull,does it?
Maybe anyone can tell me my mistake?

Since you have a female char, you don't have to do the CheckAnomenMatch, because it was already checked and saw to be valid.

Skip the first two commands, then follow the rest. You should be fine.

oops, forgot to list this...

easterbunny, all commands in the console box should be entered like this...

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CheckAnomenMatch","GLOBAL",1)

all commands must be preceeded by CLUAConsole, and all commands are case sensative, except for what is in quotes...

it`s me again:
I thought I did everything right now,but Anomen didn`t talk to my.I did some quests,waited in slept in different areas,and now I don`t know how to go on.After entering CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AnomenRomance","1) for example was written:
*********************************************
CLUAConsole("AnomenRomance","GLOBAL",1)
*********************************************
It has to be like this,hasn´t it?

HELP PLEASE !!!

It should be typed in as:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CheckAnomenMatch","GLOBAL",1)
(as UserUnfriendly stated)
and it has to be exactly like this or else it won't work.

It can be a bit confusing, I know but if you continue to have problems, just post. The people here are extremely knowledgable and friendly and will make sure that you are up and running how you want.

Mhm,it´s just that I think I entered everything corectly (cause if I wouldn´t have done so the text had not appeared in this way after press enter (like in the beginning: when the text was wrong,was written that it wouldn´t have a function)),but it doesn´t start a new romance .

After all,in the meantime I started a new game and was really happy cause Anomen started a romance and everything was good (I wouldn´t have thought that they´re talking that often to you, but I like it!) but since the last days we didn´t talk at each other, and i´am feared I did something wrong again
So I hope that I will get some help with this console
