Ok, I can confirm the problem - I had him tripping humans and attacking snakes, but against undead he won't move.

More testing needed! I found a bug at the end of the dlg file for training - that shouldn't be the problem but those sort of bugs have funny results. I'll check the latest version of the file (dust off the modding laptop) and see if it works any better.

EDIT: Still not sure, it doesn't seem to just be the default 'you can't attack unnatural things" kicking back in, or there would be an appropriate floatline. <sigh> A LOT of testing needed for what works and what doesn't. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

Just confirming this is bugged, I have a wolf just standing there when it is supposed to be attacking a goblin. A freaking GOBLIN. <sigh>

The floatline does seem to work, but will prevent combat if there is anything unnatural in range even if not involved in the combat, eg the chests on the starting map (and possibly undead followers). I will adjust this.

EDIT: I am thinking this may have been broken when I tweaked it to stop summonses being affected? Because I swear this used to work.

 

Ok, bad news Arius - I tested the current version in my one-day-to-be-finished KotB 2.0 and it works fine. In fact, works beautifully whether the animal is untrained, partially trained or a fully trained killing machine (in this one, the wolf charged the goblin, injured him, and then finished him off with an AoO, all in one round, with no-one else having to lift a finger).

BUT, I can't see any difference between the current and old versions (no difference that explains the problem) and when I transfer the files over, it doesn't make it work in the current 1.1 (1.0.1?) release. I am thus thinking it might be a change to the proto, because all the summonable animal protos got overhauled for the next release to fix various factional and other issues. I can't post the current protos.tab because it has any number of changes re heartbeats and such that could screw up a game.

So unless I have a brainwave or other epiphany, I'm going to have to just consider this a 'known issue' of the current release, which sucks, but I need to focus on things I can actually fix atm.

 

More content for sure - the Orc Caves finally have Orcs for one thing - but mostly alignment oriented. So, an LG party will finish by dealing with Lord Axer, not in the Caves, while an LE party will trash the Church in the Keep (and face the consequences). But not 'higher level' per se, actually trying to balance it so players don't level to the point that its a cakewalk.

 

They're working last I checked

 

Actually, no, you can't ever just walk up to the Castellan like that. I'm surprised you got in! Have fun in the Inner Keep but don't be surprised if you get challenged and thrown out.

The end of that quest is just to go back to Axer and tell him what happened.

 

Well, you said you haven't been to the Caves - you need to go there to complete this.
