Snuffy

Thank you both for your advice. After reading it and going back over problem I found what I did wrong and everything's fine. Snuffy

Some neat "cool down the hostiles" stuff. ============================================== 1: Make Vhorr like you. Ref: z55honeycdlg.txt 2: Melanchion's Keep Hostile Fix. Ref: z610Tdragondlg.txt -------------------------------------------------- 1. ===If Vhorr won't talk to you (Fang Clan Elder Honeycomb) And Oramorra won't sell to or train you do this. (no script edit needed). Be sure you received a quest from Korramorr in Highground's Fang Clan Base to Help the Clan. If you have and doing 2 things involving water and shades doesn't clear quest use the following: Open cheat console and type SDF 75 5 1 They'll now speak. You'll get a quest. Shades to kill. If you've already killed the shades type SDF 76 5 1 (you may need to do this twice.) and talk to Vhorr again to finish quest and receive all rewards. ================================================== 2. ===Melanchion's Keep Hostile Fix If Melanchion goes hostile for any reason do this: Get away from area any way possible. Most likely you'll have to use backtostart cheat because you've entered his hoard area and went for the big coin stuff! Open cheat console with shiftD and type: SDF 146 6 0 Hit enter. Go back to the cheat console and type: forgiveme Just for fun. Hit enter. Good ol' Mel is mellow again. Still green and lisps when excited though.

I have covered every inch of the Honeycomb. Somewhere 2 or 3 of my players lost total levels of both health and energy. I think it happened where you have the ramps that go to 4 alters and you fight some tough undead. I think it was called Master of the Pit who put some darkness in you that I lost these stats. And I mean LOST them! Say My Health was 200, it brought the total possible max down to 110 on 2 players. And energy on 2 was nearly cut in half as well. There was no potion or ouchouchouch that would return what I lost. I thought some unseen good presence was suppossed to to restore what I lost but it didn't happen that way. Did I miss something?

How can I get one? Quote: Originally written by catzen: What script do I add this to? Did you get and complete the Lysstak the Beast quest? If the answer is yes try this: Open scripts folder and find, copy it somewhere safe, then open z06blakchasdlg.txt Find begintalknode 6; state = -1; nextstate = -1; condition = 1; question = "special"; text1 = "The sign says:"; text2 = " Storgald's Herbs"; add code = set_spec_item(16,1); break; It'll look like this: begintalknode 6; state = -1; nextstate = -1; condition = 1; question = "special"; text1 = "The sign says:"; text2 = " Storgald's Herbs"; code = set_spec_item(16,1); break; Save file. Open cheat console and type backtostart. Go due west until you come to sign in front of Storgald's Herbs. Click on sign to read it, then check your special items. Just close and you'll have your bracelet. Note: To open cheat console hit shift D at same time and type in cheat.

Didn't see that land mine. Everyone hates to finish a game they enjoy. I just try all different factions. That helps. Then there's threads like this one.

No cheats. Oh. A Purist. I get it. Hey no problem. Big world, big game, big varieties of people and choices. I choose to cheat for fun. You don't. We both have fun. What's the beef? If it upsets you overly much, the title is a good indication you may not like the content. Don't read it. Simple. All better now. Glad to be of service.

1: Thalants Hostile Fix 2: Chitrach Husks Visability Fix ====================================== 1 === Thalants Hostile Fix: If you ever make Thalants hostile for ANY reason, (Killed guards at gate east, then later stole 1 item too many.) this will fix it. Get to portal gateway somehow. I had to use cheat backtostart because I didn't want to kill whole town. I had some quests to finish! OK Before going into the portal type shiftD and at the prompt type SDF 155 2 0 I also did forgiveme to be sure. Teleport back to Vahnatai Lands and it's not hostile anymore. This appears to work for any reason including killing someone important and stealing relics. ============================================== 2 === Chitrach Husks Visability Fix: Can't see husks? I'm a bit color blind so I did this to be able to see whole husks from broken husks. Copy av5itemschars.txt somewhere safe. Open av5itemschars.txt and look for begindefineitem 481; import = 260; it_name = "Chitrach Husk"; it_graphic_template = 51; it_graphic_sheet = 8; it_which_icon_ground = 16; it_which_icon_inven = 16; it_charges = 1; it_graphic_coloradj = 1;//color changed to light blue begindefineitem 482; it_name = "Broken Bit of Husk"; it_graphic_coloradj = 0;// changes color back to tan Just add last line it_graphic_coloradj = x; to item 481 & 482 and you now have light blue and light tan to see differences between them. Also enough contrast difference for color blind people. snuffy

Cheat code iampoor only gives you 500 coins. I saw something interesting the other week. Wait a bit. Ok, something must have changed. Had to do some looking. Does search work? Look for this: 3.

Ahhh. Thank you. Those poor fuzzy turtles may find lean pickings with my sanity.

I'm having a lot of fun!" is, around here, like an invitation to some people to post an insufferable and unfunny meme. So watch out. Sorry to ruin the thread, but I want to get in before they can strike again. It's not that starting a thread like this is intrinsically bad. Others just make it that way. Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll make some changes.

Thanks. I have so far.

I've noticed some items like caches, crystals that seem unreachable. Is this an indicator that I need to look around some more, or are they just teasers, and don't waste time?

This is much better! That would be nice if that's how it worked on my copy. I'm using the Windows version. Still, this is such an easy thing to fix I'm hoping Jeff can do it for the next patch. I was wondering about those posts that said you could but I couldn't. Windows here also.

Kept running into walls *thump-splat* and thought I'd give the forums a try. Tons of info here! After wandering a while thought I'd register. Will probably have more ?'s than answers. Still haven't gotten caught up on all the reading. Snuffy Originally written by John S: Mr. Snuffy, just an FYI: starting a thread whose general gist is "Hey, I'm new!

Sorry to ruin the thread, but I want to get in before they can strike again. You didn't ruin anything. Led to some interesting reading: meem/ n. [coined by analogy with `gene', by Richard Dawkins] An idea considered as a replicator, esp. with the connotation that memes parasitize people into propagating them much as viruses do. Used esp. in the phrase `meme complex' denoting a group of mutually supporting memes that form an organized belief system, such as a religion. This lexicon is an (epidemiological) vector of the `hacker subculture' meme complex; each entry might be considered a meme. However, `meme' is often misused to mean `meme complex'. Use of the term connotes acceptance of the idea that in humans (and presumably other tool- and language-using sophonts) cultural evolution by selection of adaptive ideas has superseded biological evolution by selection of hereditary traits. Hackers find this idea congenial for tolerably obvious reasons. Sounds much like inner city gangs are memes. High School populars, nerds, freaks, geeks, jocks, and so forth are all examples of memes. Conclusion, memes are essentially part of being human. Some are good, some harmful. In this context it sounds kind of Nazi, or elitist to me. Or maybe just immature. Snuffy
