    This happened yesterday and was just curious if it has happened to anybody else. After completing all the quests for the fire,earth, water and air temples, in such a way that I ended up killing everyone except Kelno (air temple.... felt sorry for him) I got Kelno to take me to see Hedrack. When I got there Hedrack's dialogue indicated that it was Arem who had taken me there and not Kelno (Arem by this time was very dead). A similar thing happened when I killed everyone except for the water temple leader, who gives you directions to go see Hedrack yourself. I was instantly attacked by Hedrack and co. Its as if it only recognises Arem (or Kelno as Arem) taking you to him (or possibly Remag.. I didn't try with him).... Maybe this is a well known problem? I'm not sure.... I am using patches 1 and 2 plus Liv's mod, and temple zip.

    I have had this happen as well. I always just assumed that the game uses the first High Priest you completed all quests for as the one that takes you to Hedrack. This is usually Alrem, since his quests do not involve killing other High Priests.

    Yup, I figured it must be something like that. Out of curiosity I might try killing off Alrem next time before finishing all his quests and see what happens... (wonder if Hedrack dialogue is the same just with different name inserted?)

    Liv has specifically added scripting in Hedrack's file (00174) to deal with this. Either you haven't installed it properly or its not working.

    Time for u to do some bugtesting for the good of humanity! Go to Program Files\Atari\Temple of Elemental Evil\data\scr and open file py000174Hedrack.py (NOT .pyc if it is there). It will open in Notepad. Does it have a bunch of stuff that says "## added by Livonya"? Specifically, the section
    This was added to make the Kenso dialogue werk. If it is not there, you have not installed Liv's thing properly.

    If it IS there, congrat's (of sorts) you've found a bug! You r now a Co8 modder, glory and cookies shall b yours. Post a thing on the thread 'Liv's Beta 1.5 Mod', the sticky at the top, and/or send her a personal message letting her know, she's a perfectionist and will appreciate it.

    Good for you <gives cookie>

    Now for bonus points (and choc chips) could you please see if there is a py000174Hedrack.pyc file in the same folder (should be right next to the py000174Hedrack.py file)? U can't open it in any meaningful way, it just indicates the scripts have been activated. It was missing from mine - though I haven't been near Hedrack since installing Liv's mod - and if its missing in yours, then thats the problem: for some reason, Liv's scripts haven't actually executed.

    <eats cookie>

    <whishes it had chocolate chips>

    Had a look and couldn't see it at first, but rearranged icons and py000174Hedrack.pyc was there beside the .py one. Then (just to make sure)went back to a save game I have that is just before Kelno takes me to Hedrack. Same thing happens still, Hedrack's dialogue is the one for Allrem not Kelno. So I guess must be something else...

    Ahhh ok, well Liv's dialogue is presumably executing, just not working. She'll fix it, thanks for letting us know. <gives fresh cookie with choc chips, still warm from oven>
