    Alright, so far 3.0.4 is going amazingly well and almost bug free. :yes: Thanks for all the good work, guys.

    In fact, certain things are working much better here in 3.0.4 compared to the later ones (e.g the Jayfie dialogue which is broken in some later ones, the meleny quest seems to be broken in 5.7.2, and there is a chance that a dialogue with the carpenter's brother would turn into an infinite loop in 5.7.2))

    Anyway, I have jumped through all the hoops in Hommlet, and I have finally obtained Meleny as a reward !

    Her voice is so upbeat that it's hilarious when you die and she says "goodbye my love" in the most perky voice you could imagine.

    I once read somewhere that if you have meleny, selena, and her sister in the same party, you get a special love triangle dialogue or meleny becomes jealous or soemthing like that. Is this true? Has anyone else heard of this? I think it would be cool. Is it like a hidden dialogue that needs to be unlocked or something ? I know that there are certain dialogues that only pop up if you have certain npc's in your party e.g. Elmo plus his brother.

    Could you be more specific about these please?

    In 5.7.0 and 5.7.1, you couldn't get past Rik Linkin (the Leatherworker) to advance the Bing thing, which ultimately stopped you from getting into Meleny's pan - uh, good graces, but that was fixed in 5.7.2. And the only carpenter's brother issue I'm aware of was in 5.6 but it's since fixed.

    If there are still problems, we need to know. That's the reason for the whole 'beta' thing.

    Oops, I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. At first I had activated 5.7.2 and these were the bugs I got with the Meleny quest:

    1. If you talk to Marek (carpenter's brother), and the very very very FIRST thing you do is say that you have "other questions," and then ask about bandits in the area, that will close down every other possible conversation option in the future, and you get this weird infinite loop between asking for "other questions" and then talking about bandits.

    I managed to get around that bug, by not asking him "other questions" and not talking about bandits.

    2. However, once I paid for the new barn, reported to the father, got approval from Jaroo for him to re-marry, and I go talk to Meleny, there is no dialogue option for her to join you in the adventure. So I got permanently stuck there. My charisma was high enough (16), my diplomacy was 7, but I still never saw any option to ask her to join me or to marry me or anything like that.

    Maybe I should send the .tfs would that help ?

    After I de-activated 5.7.2 , and then activated 3.0.4 (and restarted the Meleny rigmarole from scratch), all the above bugs disappeared.

    Marek's control files in 5.7.2 are functionally identical to those in 3.0.4 (and indeed those in vanilla), so the two modpacks should be no different. I do see that you can gety stuck in the other questions/bandits loop you decribe though, but it's presumably always been that way.

    I also tested Meleny in 5.7.2. If you've gotten permission from her dad, her join dialog is automatic. There are no skill checks.

    well, i don't know about this version. but if you marry melons
    then drop her off where ever
    then marry frooella
    then go back and pick up melony
    if you talk with melony or something then fruella starts bitching about something
    i can't remember the specifics
    but she doesn't drone on and on every time, just once or twice.

    I've never seen anything other than flirting suggestions between the to rogue sisters.

    Hmm...I see.

    I thought I read soemwhere that there was some kind of hidden dialogue between meleny and the rogue sisters that the co8 team unlocked or something.

    Maybe it was just my crazy imagination :twitch:
