    I'll look into GKR... funny, just did him with a male character, didn't notice that. What bugs me is he is flagged to wander, like the rats in the top of the moathouse who go strolling by, but does he wander? Nooooooo... :yawn:

    Meleny's stuff is in there normally, but can only be triggered by a low (<7) intelligence character of low charisma who follows specific dlg options - as if you are going to have them talking to her!!! Its one of those 'always in there, will never be seen' options.

    I am going to do a blog about the 'low intelligence' response issue - some of them are very funny and take you off on long and somewhat pointless dlg threads unavailable normally.

    I'd love to see more of those responses made available regardless of INT and CHA. :D

    I did as you asked and behold, Calmert is selling a bless scroll. Don't ask me why it didn't work with the first game, but the problem appears to be on my end, not in your mod.

    1) IIRC it was C08 3.x that started giving you whatever weapon you chose for MWP, EWP of WF feats on starting the game. I think.

    2) Fruella's dialogue when another of my characters (not the one married to Fruella) married Melleny whas hilarious. I can't wait to see if there is more at the brothel.

    Bug Alert

    Thanks for the feedback dude! :thumbsup:

    POSSIBLE BUG ALERT: There has been a problem with item creation reported, to the effect that the item_creation.mes is missing some lines. If anyone has this issue, please report here in detail what happened, and try the file posted further down by Allyx as a temporary fix.

    Thanks for all the feedback I have received, If I'd known the upload was going to be this troublesome I would have beta-tested.

    Major Bug Alert

    Ok, i can only apologise for this but looks like there is a GARGANTUAN screw-up in my mod.

    The MWP issue was indeed fixed by a Co8 mod (thanks Cujo, Cerulean, Old Book for feedback) and that mod was Moebius' .dll. Thats right, whatever the heck it was I patched with Drifter's fixes and uploaded, wasn't Moebius'. Dunno where it came from. Patch 2, probably. :shrug:

    Anyways, here is the Moebius one straight from Liv's mod, patched with all Drifter's fixes, and I have tested it, all my guys got their proficient weapons no problem. Put this in place of the other one, in the main Temple of Elemental Evil folder. Of course, if u r not using FrontEnd and u have patched with PC_Counter, MaxHP etc, you will have to do that again. Sorry!!!

    Major patch to follow, probably tomorrow.

    Re: Bug Alert

    Hmm. OK, tested Create Item without this file. No problems.

    Added this file. Massive errors and a CTD.

    This file may be naughty. Will revert and try again.

    Re: Bug Alert

    Put back my old 2.9kb item_reation.mes instead of the above 45kb item_creation.mes, and it worked fine. So, I'm not seeing the bug the new file is meant to fix, and the new file is giving me a bug.

    Ted I found that with the unpatched game or patch 2 I would get say a greatsword if I chose that weapon focus, and the Co8 patch broke it and livs mod fixed it, if you read hi im new and lost i complain about it then (that was just before livs mod came out).

    Re: Bug Alert

    It just seems like you've updated the wrong "item_creation.mes". There are *two* such files in the game, one in the "MES" and one in the "RULES" folder. Make sure you update the one in "RULES", NOT the one in "MES"!

    Re: Major Bug Alert

    Do me a favour Ted? I finally figured out how to make wild shape a prerequisite to craft the Druid's Vestiments could you replace "SAnimal Growth" in line 12653 of item_creation.mes with "Ffeat wild shape" (including quotation marks) before you reupload your mod?

    Thanks Agetian, I thought I said something about the rules folder.

    So there is NOT a problem with item creation? I haven't seen it myself, but got a bug report over in the General Modding section (in my 'huge news' thread). I noticed I had a newer file than the one in the mod and assumed i'd stuffed up.

    Haven't heard back from the bug reporterer, and he didn't detail just WHAT the bug was (just that it said there was a line missing from item_creation.mes) so lets put this on hold for the moment - just ignore item_creation.mes until I can get to the bottom of this. And thanks for the effort Old Book.

    Cujo - Liv's mod contains Meobius' .dll stuff, which was previously seperate to the Co8 patch. Sorry if I was ambiguous. But it doesn't matter, that's certainly a Moebius-Drifter.dll I uploaded this time and it fixes the MWP issue.

    Allyx - that major patch is looking further and further away (but then atm the mod should be running fine other than this possible item_creation issue). Probably day after tomorrow, when I am only rostered on 2 hours. But yes I will add that line. :)

    As for the sounds thing - noting is ever easy I tell ya... Death rattles worked fine, but can't get Near-Death complaints to work at all, and Enter Combat Comment only works as a floating txt line, not as a voice. Figure that out!

    I'll keep on it ;)

    @ Shiningted: the new item_creation.mes is causing massive problems for me, probably because there are those lines like "Cure Moderate Wounds P4 R4" or whatever, and they are definitely not found, and they cause almost all healing spell prerequisites in the craft wondrous item list to be shown as "SPELL_NONE", and........

    Well, I revert to ther old item_creation.mes. You may want to do so, too, Shiningted. :)

    OK, used the new Item Creation Mes in the Rules folder.

    Again, I had no problems with the old one.

    Again, the new one is causing errors.

    I'm going back to the old one. ;)
