Meleny sells stuff I give her even though I told her not to.

Well, I did a search as you suggested and I found this thread:

http://www.co8.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1497&highlight=meleny+equipment

I'm having similar problems as Mike B.

Meleny sells stuff I give her even though I told her not to. She won't give up the stuff I equipped her with except a ring of protection +1 (for some odd reason I can get that from her). I could give her better equipment but her STR is like an 8 so it will just weigh her down.

Is there way to edit her STR with a console command or something? I want to keep her in the party but at this point I'm thinking I'm gonna have to send her home.

Yes, there are console commands to set attributes, experience, etc.

For your purposes, try:

game.party[x].stat_base_set(stat_[attribute you want to change],#)

x is the party member number. Starting from the farthest left PC, which is 0, and count forward. (Ex: Meleny is the 4th character from the left, her party # would be 3)

To edit Meleny's strength, it would look like this:

game.party[4].stat_base_set(stat_strength,18) Then hit enter.

You'll need patch 2 for the console commands. To open, press shift + tilde key.

Somewhere here is a HUGE list of all the console commands. You could probably find more concise lists on some other sites, that's where I found mine, BEFORE I discovered the joys of this group!! :thumbsup: :joy:


Damn, I'm stupid!! :doh:
The console commands thread is on this very section, just a threads down!! mg:


BTW, this may not be the place to discuss these things, Geaer made it pretty clear that this was for bug listings only. Not 100% sure, but let's be safe. It's not wise to upset the Co8 lords! *looks around in paranoid fear* aranoid:

 

Do the numbers for items change depending on the mod used?

I attempted to console in a archmagi's robe (of the correct color) for my mage from an online list of number that I found somewhere (don't know where now), and it crashed my game. I think it was from 4.0 - but that's a guess.

I lost the save (deleted it) but didn't seem to hurt the rest. I saved right before I tried it, so didn't lose anything.

I was feeling guilty about it even before I tried it. I really don't know why doing something like that makes me feel guilty, but it does.

Thanks ETC

:doh:

I must remember to put more ranks in the Thread Awareness Skill.

Ok. I'll do that.

Is there a way to implement the Humble NPC but have it where they still take a cut of gold? I don't mind the gold so much. But, lately, Ronald the Cleric has been getting frisky and swiping up magic items.

 

I might not even mind if they sell their equipment as long as it appears in the merchant's inventory. I had to reload because Spugnoir sold the Extraplanar Chest. Interesting though to see what it was like before Co8!

Edit: Ah, I did find some of Spugnoir's stuff in Rannos' inventory. Really is a PITA!

 

Who plays without Humble NPCs?

Let me get this straight. The way to play without this option and still keep your sanity is to:
1. buy everything from the NPC,
2. equip them as you like,
3. tell them not to sell anything,
4. don't use them as mules (or they will keep the gold),
5. go adventuring and let them loot,
REPEAT

Is there a workable set of "looting instructions" for protos.tab?
I think it has Meleny for all_arcane

 

You can allways do what I do;
just have no NPCs.

 

I just did a fresh install because of crashes. i forgot to humble NPCs and Spunga (spelling) the mage nabbed some stuff and i couldn't get him to sell his funky outfit ( i tried to have him change his outfit).
I restarted and turned on humble NPC but he still would not part with his original items.

I did this before i had interacted with many NPCs as party members. Somehow, the character got a "memory" that did not allow him to drop certain items.

no biggie. the gambler became cannon fodder.

 

Apparently, NPCs can be started as Humble, but then if you un-humble them and tell them not to sell anything, you then cannot Humble them again. This is a drag if, for example, you want to upgrade Meleny's purchased bark armor for troll armor.

Edit: So, it appears you can easily add stuff, either permanently or temporarily, but you can't get rid of it....unless....

Does the console offer any solutions to this medium-level drawback?

Also, it is interesting that I haven't heard Fruella complain about being loaded up (medium) and she hasn't tossed anything.

 

Thanks for the clear explanation. Too bad switching on/off Humble NPCs doesn't do the trick. Now Meleny has to meet with an accident. Killing her outright (knocking out doesn't work) gets me her stuff but gets the whole town angry, or at least Jaroo when I tried to get him to reincarnate her.

Edit: Interesting that Filliken doesn't go crazy anymore about raising his daughter from the dead.

Fruella is not bugged. You can load her up, tell her not to sell stuff, and she won't "toss" that stuff; however, if you mule her with other stuff she will complain and drop those items.

 

Really? I don't remember that somethings like this could happen. :suprised:

I wanted to enhance Elmo's armor and axe recently, but Humble NPC was not enabled. I enabled it, but he wanted to keep his stuff, so I had to kill him. I immediately ressurected him with a scroll and he was happy to get his bigger axe and armor. No one turned hostile...
