Beats me. It looks like the t74TheRoyalSpiretxt.txt does act as a library for the t74TheRoyalSpiredlg.txt but I can't find where the lines would be called either. The only instance of "Walk into the portal" in the scripts seem to be in textdlogstrs.txt (#15) and it doesn't look like there is room for adding code. You could try just copying the whole code= thing after the semicolon there and see if it works but it probably won't. You could try adding the code= excerpt to all of the weird blank begintalknode;s in the t74TheRoyalSpiredlg.txt and see if that does anything. If you want to search for strings yourself I used Windows Grep to search thru all the scripts at once.

edit: Crap I made a big post then acidentally edited over it. Here is the quick version. Go to your install folder and explore Avernum Files\Scripts. Look for files formatted like this: t[##][area]dlg.txt. The [area] is the name of an indoor area. The [##] are just a couple of irrelevant numbers. Look for a filename where it is an area you have access to on the save you want to use. Make sure it ends in dlg. Make a backup of the file in case this doesnt work and open it in a good text editor like notepad++. Regular notepad makes it hard to read. This is the text box script for all npcs triggers etc in the area. Each dialog is separated by begintalknode;. The question= is what you say or do to trigger it and the text= is what is displayed in response to your question=. Look for a dialog you have access to. Add these lines underneath code = set_spec_item(37,1); break; If it already has code= underneath it, just add set_spec_item(37,1); in there somewhere before the break;. Save the file and close. Now when you select that dialog, you will be given the platinum brooch.

I'm not too far into EFTP, my party is about lvl 14. So I just got dispel barriers 1 and 2 and I have been traveling all around the previous areas looking for barriers to dispel. I had been keeping a list of all barriers I'd seen, but my computer crashed without saving it so it's gone. I am looking for a particular small room with a LOT of barriers inside. Probably at least like 6 or 7 and maybe more. These barriers were just protecting something like a small chest or some drawers. There might have been another chest nearby that was not blocked off. I *think* this room was in a hostile area, but since I have checked pretty much every dungeon looking for it, maybe it isn't. I have explored just about everywhere on the east side of the map. Looking at the world map, you could say that I have explored everything east of Ft Dranlon or Almaria. This includes the northern (Formello) and southern (mertis) areas. I have also been to the swamp city and slith fort near Ft Dranlon, and briefly visited Kyass via the river. I haven't really ventured anywhere too far west of Ft Dranlon or Almaria. Since then I have gone back to just about everywhere I thought the room could be and still haven't found it. I have literally been searching for this place for hours. Was finding this room just a dream? I know its probably not anything important, but it is seriously driving me crazy not knowing where this place is. Please, if you know what room this is, help me out. Thanks. My crappy MSpaint rendition of the room (the brown thing in the corner is a chest or something. Also the actual room is not as square-shaped, more rectangular. Finally its not just a room by itself, it was in a big building, I think.)

Does anyone know if Avernum 2 and 3 are getting remakes as well, or if it is on to new ground for Jeff? I loved the series back when I played it as Exile, and Exile 2 was always my favorite.

How do I set items on the Quick Use bar? Nevermind I am an idiot, I didnt notice the bar under the paper doll and kept trying to drag it down to the actual bar. Carry on.
