*sigh* Another Jaheira romance problem

This has probably already been discussed, but..

Ok, I'm now in chapter 6. I've already killed Bodhi, but I haven't spoken to Eldhan (sp?) about it yet. Dermin has already shown up, ending in my killing him. I've already gotten dialouge 56 - the one that starts with "Ah, the dawning of our day", but for some reason I can't get the next dialouge. I've already waited for an hour, if not more, but it hasn't come yet. I've tried resting outside, but that hasn't seemed to work yet. At the moment, my party is standing in the Umar hills, with both Jaheira and my pc fatigued. Are they supposed to be fatigued to get the dialouge, or something else? Hopefully, I haven't done anything wrong.

I've had a problem recently at that point in the romance (the "Dawning of our day" dialogue loops, and it's pretty notorious and well documented on various web sites). I fixed it by incrementing Jaheira's Lovetalk variable by 1 using the Console and everything was fine.

Though, IIRC, you have to rest outside to trigger the next event, so that would be worth a try before you play around with variables and the like.

I've tried resting, but it doesn't work.

Go outside and try pausing the game for a while. When you unpause, it might trigger the next dialog. If not, then I advice you to follow boo's daddy's approach.

I had it paused for a good while yesterday, but it didn't work at all. But it might not have been long enough, maybe, so I'll try again with that today. If it doesn't work, then I'll need to find out what the Console thing is to use.

Consoles are quite easy to use. If it comes to that though, I advice you to use SK (shadowkeeper). It is a really easy and userfriendly tool.

At any rate, if you pause the game, keep it paused for at least 30 minutes and keep the game active. Do not use Alt F4 and, in the meantime, do something else. Keep the game running.

About console - I found it on one site

To enable cheats, open the baldur.ini file with a text editor and under [Program Options] add:
Debug Mode=1

and under [Game Options] add:
Cheats=1

both lines ensure cheats work no matter the version.
Then [in the game] press CTRL+SPACE to open the Console window.


The codes to initiate the next LT:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("JaheiraROMANCE","GLOBAL","1")
[The cursor must be over Jaheira portrait]

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("JaheiraROMANCE","GLOBAL","1") doesn't work, at least not for this particular dialouge. I've used it to get some of her other dialouges, and tried to use it for this one, but hasn't worked at all, for some reason. And have you had to have the curser over her? I never had to. Huh. I'll try pausing again, though.

OK, here's what I did in this situation:

With the mouse over Jahiera's portrait:
CLUAConsole:GetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS")

The Console should tell you what Jahiera's Lovetalk is.

Add 1 to this number. (Let's call it XX now). Again with the mouse over Jaheira:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS",XX)

See if that helps. Hope it does! :)

I got a lot of help from this thread:

I tried CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("LoveTalk","LOCALS",XX), but it keeps saying "too many arguments to function 'getGlobal'."

If the Console thought the function was "getglobal" are you sure you haven't typed GetGlobal by mistake instead of SetGlobal?

Yay! :D Thank you, it worked. :p

One more thing - how long is it usually before Terminster (sp?) shows up? And do you have to be outside, or inside?

Great!

I think there are a few more steps in the dialogue to go. Consult that thread I posted for full details, and if you can't find the answer, a search on "jaheira AND romance AND walkthrough" will find you a full rundown.

The basic rules of thumb are:
1) always rest outside
2) hit pause, go and make yourself a cuppa, clean out your hamster's cage, etc, plenty of times, then come back and unpause: lots of Jaheira's dialogue increments depend on playing time, not game time.
