[(BG1) Bug] Dalton & Therella

CamDawg

As mentioned in a few places, Therella doesn't always realize that Dalton gets killed at Durlag's Tower. The main bug is that Therella's dialogue is checking the wrong DV; however I also found an incorrect journal entry if Dalton is dead. One other change is that Dalton would have nothing to say if you spoke to him prior to killing the demon knight; he now says his 'stay away' line and exits dialogue until you kill the demon knight.

A couple of folks in the open forum have talked about Dalton's corpse, but no such item exists in BG/BGEE.

d code:

APPEND dalton
  IF ~True()~ THEN BEGIN DeathKnightNotDead SAY #22697
    IF ~~ THEN EXIT
  END
END
REPLACE_TRIGGER_TEXT ~therel~ ~Dead("Daltan")~ ~Dead("Dalton")~ // fix DV check
ALTER_TRANS therel BEGIN 15 END BEGIN 0 END BEGIN ~SOLVED_JOURNAL~ ~#26111~ END

Just noticed the Daltan/ Dalton mixup... *sigh* Could've just read it here first...

Also a BG1 issue:

******************************************************
OBSERVED:
DALTON.CRE has:
Alignment: Neutral Evil -35
Race: Lycanthrope (shows up as blank for CTRL-Q)
Class: Innocent - 155
Natural AC = -7AC
MaxHP = 290HP

Somehow this is just... wrong- though it's the same in vBG1. Unless this is a plot twist with the Werewolf Island story that I'm not aware of...? Perhaps the AC and HP are intended to keep him alive in case the demonknight chases the party up to near Dalton and does its Fireball routine, but if the player is that careless, so be it. For sure Dalton is of Neutral alliance, so nothing will attack him otherwise. All his saves are set to 2 also... I tried Algernon's Cloak on him to get him killed, but he saved against it for 20 tries... so I tired of it...

EXPECTED:
Alignment: Chaotic Good - 49
Race: Human - 1
Class: Fighter - 2
Natural AC = 10
Effective AC = 10

I doubt it is a plot twist. But radiocarbon... eh... messed up fields date its creation to the same time as the werewolves.

Not sure how this has been missed for so long, but the fixes are in now

lansounet

The fixes have been applied BUT

String 26111 is "Paralyze". Correct string is probably 27484 in current build.

Therella's missing son
Therella was distraught to hear of her son's death, as one might expect.

ALTER_TRANS therel BEGIN 15 END BEGIN 0 END BEGIN ~SOLVED_JOURNAL~ ~#27484~ END

@SethDavis

String target needs to be changed.

SethDavis

Potentially fixed - The journal entry now makes sense

Avenger_teambg

Ok, so the last outstanding issue was the journal.

@AndreaColombo
#23508 needs the title : "Dalton rescued"
#23509 too

Avenger_teambg

A question though: why therella sets a GLOBAL:DALTAN variable?

It seems unused, dltcep says: Variable GLOBALDALTAN is referenced only 1 times.

Tanthalas

@AndreaColombo, @Jalily

Could one of you check if those strings that @Avenger_teambg mentions above have the "Dalton rescued" titles?

Jalily

Just added them.

Tanthalas

Ok, moving this one to Found and Fixed so the journal entries can be checked in the next build.

Tanthalas

Journal entries have titles now. Confirmed Fixed in Build 2003
