KotB 1.0.1 Bug List

Keys going into your inventory always disappear and show up in the Key section of your log book, which should have an entry saying:

This obviously magical key appeared in your pack after you solved the Mad Wizard's puzzles. Trick-key! (Sneak-key too).

@ Gazra: generally I use description.mes to give a definitive answer on these things: his name is

{20066}{Tarken}

The Bailiff and his eternal 300 gold thing was something I thought was fixed, which leads us to the issue of what version people are using.

I downloaded and installed the full 1.0.1 version yesterday and lo and behold, NO CATS. Not in the Bailey, not in the Spider Woods and not in the area under the Spider Woods where the merchant is (that's all I've tested).

Soooo... some folks are not using the latest version.

Now, that's not really our fault, it's to do with ModDB's mirrors, it would seem. And it's not the player's fault either, I am not emphasising this to be critical of anyone but just to stress that folks should make sure they are playing the latest version so they get the best experience and we get the most efficient way of dealing with extant bugs and not chasing shadows. The removal of the cats, while not plot-critical in most cases, did involve a small change to the Thieves' Guild plot (so you have the encounter when leaving the pub rather than leaving Flay's house, which you may never do after doing his couple quests) and it was the last thing included, so it's an easy gauge to see if you have the latest version and not some earlier place-holder upload that ModDB has mirrored.

Hope that helps. Now I'm confident I have the latest version installed cleanly myself, I'll check the rest of these bugs that are being declared.

 

I think Sitra's working on a fix for that but to show you how contrary the ToEE engine is, compare that (casting CLW makes people go belligerent) with Reynard, where casting a CLW spell on him is how you get in his good books and initiate dialogue, not combat :shrug:

 

Okay, just to let folks know I am (slowly) working through these bugs. Re the issue of guards bailing you up for impersonating a Guardsman if you wear platemail, I can confirm that is still happening, despite the presence of what was meant to be the fix. Interestingly, it seems to be a problem with the 'check the shield' script (long story why). I do sabotage myself with unnecessarily complicated scripts sometimes...

 

That's sounds like an easter egg! Or possibly a typo. But I'll fix it.

 

Success on Son of Liberty's bug! It was the 'Rogue's Enemy' rep you get for murdering the Thieves' Guild, it was putting Geoffrey into combat. I have attached a fix below which should put Geoffrey's (and any other member of the Thieves' Guild you meet, though I can't think of any) reaction very low but not actually tip him over the edge. Note that if you have already antagonised Geoffrey - by refusing to look for his cousins, or finding them and not bringing them back, or you're a Dwarf and you mocked him for being an Elf - then he probably will go KOS but that's a result of your actions :yes:

Solution? Keep your interactions with Geoffrey in his house. The night-time mobs of the merchants in the market place (but NOT the Gypsy or Tattoo gal) are different mobs to the day time ones so as not to break their shop inventories and will react differently, so if you antagonise the Geoffrey-in-the-house mob the Geoffrey-in-the-marketplace mob is none the wiser. Of course Reputations affect everyone you encounter, but otherwise it's all separate. So if you want to annoy Geoffrey always do it in his house, and if he later attacks you there, you can kill him, beat the other two unconscious and next morning, they will be in the marketplace none the wiser (not Geoffrey - he's dead of course ) What happens in the house stays in the house.

To avoid all this I'll just remove Geoffrey from the Thieves' Guild faction in future. Pity. The file below goes in your data/rules folder.
