    Do you mean the slave traders, specifically (as opposed to Rannos and Gremag)? You don't have to talk to anybody else. They are out there, somehwere, in a desolate place. (Incidentally, there will be more methods for discovering their location in the next release, as well as other commonly sought info.)

    Sorry to keep asking questions but I updated to 6.1.0 but when I load it I have no players or saved games?

    I clicked on restore saves and takes me to a folder and asks me what file to restore but I have no idea which file to actually restore?

    Thanks

    You can't bridge saves and characters between modules. (Actually you could copy over your characters folder manually to the new installation, but saves are a definite no-no). The function you describe in TFE-X is for when/if you went back to the former module; then you could restore those saves and use them with that module again.

    Just took on the Slavers. After three tries, I took out the whole lot of them with 4.5 16th level characters (my rogue died early on and came back). Ticked that I lost one innocent, though. Hafta agree with some who observed that one "no save" situation. It's easy to work around, but it's far more 1ed or even 2ed than 3ed. Still, this was a lot of fun that was heavily influenced by one's initiative order and saves (which against certain spells is HUGELY important). I approve of the suggestions that the "fissures" are something important. Nice foreshadowing (if that's what it is).

    Another great job, guys!

    Hey crhalen,

    I got your private message and replied to it, but this has me confused. Do you mean the traders from Hommlett or the slavers? If the latter, I gave you the clue, but if the Traders, I am not sure what you mean. Could you clarify my slow mind? :)

    Hello,

    I have found the answer to solve the problemof "monster mash" quest. Type on the console game.global_vars[949] = 3. It gives the option of dialog with canon Ramses.

    Thank for the forums , however :pelvicthr

    I tried to buy the castle of lords originally but I was short on funds. So I went out killed some baddies came back and tried to buy it again. Maurice asks me how I want to pay and I tell him all of it then my only reply is I have to go or something to that effect and nothing happens. I keep the money and the barricade is still there.

    So I tried the payment option and the same thing occurred. Has this happened to anybody else and is there a way to get out of it?

    Thanks

    Can you explain that a little more precisely, as in step-by-step, with exact quotes of what's being said?

    Thanks, I'll check it out later ...

    [Later ...]

    Wacky. I don't see anything wrong with the code at all - it's just 'you have enough gold or you don't.' The only thing I can think is that for some reason the game doesn't like your platinum. I seem to recall someone reporting something similar a while back. :shrug:

    This is one of those things that makes ToEE such a shame ... nothing is really ever certain. There are actually lots of circumstances where in testing I see flags or variables being recognized one time but not the next, code randomly being ignored or lines skipped over without explanation, etc. Errors account for a lot of that but there are times when there simply are none (having gone over it all letter by letter) and it still doesn't work, just because. But then maybe it will work later. Or maybe it won't. Or maybe it will work later but then go back to not working after that.

    It's really, really hard to do anything comprehensive when you're trying to play by 'rules' like that - e.g., there are no rules, just your vain hope that things will work. :blegh:

    Anyway, there's nothing I can do about this. Take comfort in the knowledge that it works for most people, just not you. ;)

    Not sure if this has been tried or will be of any help, but have you tried to leave Verbobanc. Rest a day or week, and then go back and see if you can purchase the castle. Maybe as Gaear said that variables can play out differently for others or at different times, it may work.

    Can't he just reset the global flag about meeting the banker? I don't know which one it is, but surely the author would.
