Blank.... erm.....

one day, when walking through the docks, Anomen started a converstaion. His picture can up in teh convo box, but no name, no words, nothing else.

It looked like this:
(Anomen's picture)

(Continue)

I pressed randomly in the convo box at this point, snad it said:
Vaealan:

(ano's picture)

(End dialouge)

I think the flirt pack has messed up. Any ideas?

Cheers'

What other mods do you have?

Did you make a backup dialogue.tlk file?

Here are the same instructions I just gave someone in the ToB Forum (his problem was also from the flirt pack):

ok, read through this whole post before you do anything.

Back up these files:

Saved Games
Characters
baldur.ini
chittin
if you've created any items/spells, then go into your override folder, find them, and back them up.

Then uininstall all of your mods.
Then uninstall SoA and ToB.
Then reinstall SoA, then reinstall ToB.
Copy over the files that you backed up, and if you backed up anything from your override folder, put those back in the override folder. That includes an XP cap remover (cuz some go in there)

Then back up your dialogue.txt file. Then install the mods you want (make sure you do them in the correct order. The order can be found in a sticky in the SoA forum about all the mods for BG2).

If that doesn't work, then I guess you should either get rid of the flirt pack or just deal with this dialogue thing (which you can't really do)

Usually the "blank text" bug is not a bug with the mod. It's caused by installing the mod while either the game or an editor (such as ShadowKeeper) is running. If either of these is running, they maintain a lock on the dialog.tlk file so that the mods cannot update them with the new text.

Try closing the game and any editors, and reinstalling the mod.

i have no other mods installed, although there could be part of teh Sola mod lingering around from a while ago. (I have been having a lot of problems with this game.) I have no idea what Shadowkeeper is, and I don't know how to back things up (So no Dundee, I havn't backed it up)

Reinstall the flirtpacks, making sure the game is completely closed before you run the mod.
