Edwin's trying to get fixed up *spoilers*

daan · 09-21-2002, 09:10 AM

I've had some problems with edwin, since he finished the Nether-scroll qyest.
The quest is allready completely done, but the restored version of Edwin is known to have some bugs.

So i install the bug-fix from baldurdash, put the files in my override-folder and see if it works. Well, .. i didnt work.
So i read the ReadMe, and it says:

************************************************** *****************************
To use:

Simply extract the files EDWINJ.DLG, EDWIN.BCS, SPIN661.SPL, SPIN662.SPL and SPIN664.SPL contained in this archive to your Baldur's Gate 2 Override folder, and quit/restart BG2 if it's already running.

*** Note: This fix will prevent the stalled quest error from occurring, but if it has already occurred and the quest is stalled, do the following:

Quit BG2. Edit BALDUR.INI in the BG2 folder (Notepad works for this) and put the line
Debug Mode=1
under the [Program Options] line. Run BG2. Load the savegame. Press Ctrl-Space for a console. Put the pointer over Edwin so that his circle shimmers, then type EXACTLY into the console:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("ScrollStudy","LOCALS",1)
and press Enter. This should set the variable properly. Save the game (it's recommended to use a new save slot in case something went wrong.) Quit BG2 and edit BALDUR.INI to remove the line that was just added. Then rerun BG2 and load the save and play normally.

************************************************** *****************************

I allready did all that, but still edwin wont speed up while wearing the Boots of Speed. Im guessing what the global does is rearrange a meeting with
-Degardan- ( the mage who helps Edwin ). Only, Im in spellhold, and its going to be a while before i get back to athkatla and Degardan.
I really want that bug fixed -now-....

So ...
1. Is it indeed so that the global resets the script for Degardan appearing and changing edwina to edwin, thereyby removing the bugs.
2. Is that not the case, and if so, .. why doesnt it work even if i do set that Global ?

Thx for any help [img]smile.gif[/img]

Try setting it to 0.
From what I can tell, this is the variable to do with what effect the Nether Scroll has had on Edwin; 0 should maybe set it so it has had no effect. (This is only a hunch though, so don`t quote me on it [img]smile.gif[/img] )

daan · 09-21-2002, 09:44 AM

Tried setting it to -0- and restarting, no effect. Tried setting it to -0- and then -1- ... even tried setting it to -6- and to -9984733-
( that last one was out of sheer frustration actually).
Newayz, no effects to be had just yet ...

Well,.. I seem to be having a rather unique problem here.
But nothing is lost yet, If Edwin cant use the Boots of speed, I'll just manually crank up his walking-speed with shadowkeeper
( he'll be wearing the boots of speed all the time anywayz).

So, 2 questions:

1. Boots of Speed double the base-walkspeed right ?

2. Is there some way i can give my Main the look of a Tannarii, but the volume of a regular character ? A Tannarii cant fit through most doors, but i thought that it might be possible to adjust his height and widht somehow ...
Is that kind of adjustment achievable with shadowkeeper ?

I dont know any of the other jargan these people are going on about (

) but i know when i tried using my boots of speed while wearing something that gave free action the haste didnt work.

daan · 09-22-2002, 07:37 AM

Nope, I allready know that, it has nothinh to do with item-combo's.
Unfortunately i just found out that manually raising movement-speed with Shadowkeeper doesnt work either.
I guess its because the way the bug works, what it does.. is continuously change edwin in edwin. ( instead of doing it once, to turn edwina to edwin, he continually creates a new edwin, according to the readme)
This means that setting movement-speed wont work either, since the -new- edwin wont have it.

I'll try reinstalling the patch .. again .. but didnt anyone have a problem with this ?

daan · 09-22-2002, 07:50 AM

Nope, reinstalling doesnt work.

If anyone had his bug and the patch fixed it, could he/she describe exactly what he/she did and the effects of it ( Degardan showing up again, or the problem just immediatly vanishing etc. )
