Here's some more detailed info on the Dialogue bug. This bug will occur if you have a third party patch like the Baldurdash English Language Game Text Update OR if you have installed any custom items after May 23rd, your game will have NO dialogue in the dialogue boxes whatsoever.
Here's the way to fix.
It appears that if you either:
- Installed my DIALOG.TLK English Language Game Text Update, or,
- Installed ANY custom items with descriptions (ie .TBG items) after May 23rd
then the DIALOG.TLK in your BG2 folder will have a newer Last Modification date than the one in the Throne Of Bhaal. The Throne Of Bhaal installer will then not overwrite it.
Simple solution: go into your BG2 folder...
If you installed my text update, find DIALOG.TLK.OLD. If it's there, delete DIALOG.TLK, and then rename DIALOG.TLK.OLD to DIALOG.TLK.
If you installed MOD items with descriptions, then rename DIALOG.TLK to anything else (like DIALOG.BAK ... your choice as long as it's not DIALOG.TLK anymore.)
Then install Throne Of Bhaal.
I've already updated the one I'm serving so that the DIALOG.TLK file has a creation/last modification date in 1995. This should be sufficient. I would have preferred the Baroque period (in-joke for Kevin M.) but this will do.
Please advise if this fails to fix the problem.
As always, post more issues and solutions here please, try not to create new threads if possible.
