boobooed on a low lantern quest(possible spoiler, don't read if you haven't reached baldur's gate)

Gilgalahad

I made a booboo with a quest(it's been ages since I'd played BG1 & this is my 1st full play through of BG1:EE finally after having it forever). I messed up in the low lantern(possible spoiler & I can't remember how to hide it)with the entropy sisters and lost out on a lot of good loot. Is there a way to reset the encounter so that I can revisit it and make the right choices this time? Please advise with my thanks.

You could just use the console to summon them both. That should let you repeat the encounter (and if it doesn't at the very least it'll let you kill them).

I'm somewhat familiar with the clua system and read how to do it(as the process is completely different for EE than old vanilla, but how do I summon them? I've read a bunch of stuff on the forums, but the bloody topics have become so long it would take days to read all of them, much less find the specific command I need. Not sure if "create creature" (name of the 2 chars done twice, once for each will work, or is the clua command "summon soandso"? That's the part I can't remember. I know a very long time ago I had found a complete list of every code for everything in bg1(long time ago and I can't for the life remember where).

C:CreateCreature("Desret")
C:CreateCreature("Vayya")

I believe Desreta is the one that talks to you (if you want to try your luck with their dialogue instead of just outright killing them).

Thanks, that helps a lot, now i'm embroiled in a battle of getting the damned info to stay saved as it seems to revert. I've read something on that in the original clua post so i'll re-read it. I tried everything i know to do, so there may be something there i haven't tried to get the info to stay.

Wait do you mean the changes made to the baldur.ini file aren't remaining? Have you tried looking to see if the file itself or the folder they are in is marked as read-only?

late posting, I got it stop reverting to vanilla by using Context so all good. I wanted that encounter for spoiler reasons as 1 of the lasses has a rather useful item. Done and done with thnx.
