    Seriously!!!
    [​IMG]

    notice the A/A change edit mode button (I can get to it if I try) in the extreme top right corner.

    discovered the spoiler function by reading the code function (vbulletin?) displayed in the editor when using the quote' function.

    btw - filesize for screen image capture wiith Windows 7 snipping tool = 218 kb for entire screen when reading co8/ToEE threads on this website (200 site upload max). Sigh. Hence photobucket image wrap above. Sigh*. FML

    Note: when hovering over the location where the spoiler and youtube functions are supposed to be, I get a small blue highlighted box with 'wrap text with spoiler' or 'wrap text with youtube' tiny one line pop up.

    Edit:
    <- iza fool. shoulda read what you actually typed in the editor before capturing. I just been e-ninja'd. :(

    Does anyone else have any problems with the vendors, like they do not renew their inventory?

    Whit my first run Jinnerth and Jakk stopped at some point to re-stock. With my second run it spread to Ah Fong too. I am just wondering whether this is a glich or problem caused by corrupt save file. I like to craft all the possible wondrous items as soon as possible and to finance that require a lot of pick pocketing, which in turn requires hectic save and load routine. Maybe that routine causes saves to corrupt?

    Could those suffering from the lack of spoiler and youtube buttons in the editor try clearing your cookies, internet cache, and temporary files? Note that clearing your cookies will make you have to log in again next time (probably with other sites you may be auto-logged on too).

    The trick is to crop that down to what we really need to see. (We don't need to see your entire screen.) That will reduce the data size, as would reducing the resolution.

    Sitra Achara, thank you for looking into this and coming up with a solution.

    I had a save stored before talking with Alrrem for both instances so I was able to test. My console returned a 4 for the game.global_vars[14] when I had killed Oolhgrist. It returned a 10 when I had killed the ogres.

    I also applied the 2 files that you posted and it fixed both instances of conversing with Alrrem. So everything got fixed with those files. Thank you again!

    I just installed the anthology version of the game (BG1/2, IWD 1/2, PT, ToEE) and it appears that that version of the game is not compatible with the Co8 mod? Will this be corrected anytime soon, or should I just go ahead and play through the game unmodded?

    If you try to play the game unmodded, you won't get very far before it crashes.

    Why do you say that it appears it's not compatible?

    Be glad to - so I installed the games from the CD, then I downloaded the second patch because I couldnt be sure if my version was patched. That didn't install either (No ToEE found - I launched it from ToEE's directory). Then I downloaded Co8 anyway, and also, from the game directory, it starts to install, and then about 2 seconds later I get a 'MovieFile' error, 'Code5'

    Let me know if there's something more specific you need
