Help with The Darkest Day

The Forums on The Darkest Day website don't work, so... Help!

I'm really enjoying the mod, but I'm stuck. When I finished the Hall of Knowledge Quest I teleport out, but I'm caught in an endless loop of teleporting.

I'm using version 1.03 with a full install and the TOB patch.

Thanks!

 

I pointedley avoid the Darkest Day for this very reason, it's filled to overflowing with bugs. I know that wasn't the answer you were looking for but i thiught i'd chime in with my two cents. Sorry i couldn't be any more helpful

 

Thanks!

Unistall it is... Sigh...

 

Wait! You're kidding, right? You uninstalled cuz of the reply of one person, who doesn't even use TDD?

Oh well. Tell me if you still have it installed, and I'll try to help you find a solution. I played all the way through The Darkest Day. I just recently finished it. I did every quest in the walkthrough, using CLUA to workaround any bugs (on a few occasions: to spawn a quest-giving character, and sometimes to teleport to a location when auto-travel didn't work right).

I found it rather easy to fix all the bugs, and thus I found it to be an enjoyable mod for some different quests. If you're up for doing simple workarounds.

 

I would be glad to get some help!

I did uninstall it, but a re-instsall doesn't take long. I still have the saved games.

So far three thing haven't worked for me:

1) When Xzar was killed, he never dimensioned door back in.

2) At the end of the Trollford Quest the teleport didn't work. I re-installed the patch and TDD; then the teleport worked.

3) At the end of the Hall of Knowledge Quest when I picked up the Book of the Dead an endless loop of teleports began. The re-install trick didn't work this time.

I'm not familiar with CLUA, but my daughter can help me with it.

Thanks!

BTW does TeamBG exist anymore? Are they working on the bugs?

 

TeamBG website is currently offline, could be permanant. With their forums gone, there isn't really a support network for TDD.

TDD is no longer supported. The final version was 103A, and it will not be updated again. We have to live with, and work-around, the existing bugs - if you want to play this mod.

You (or daughter) can learn to do CLUA here:
http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/cheats.php

The two CLUA codes which will help you are:
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("creaturecodehere")
CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("ARcode-here")

If a person you need is missing, use CLUA to summon them in. You will need to find the code for that person. This can be done with a web search, or using a program like DLTCEP, or by asking me since I know a lot of the codes now that I have been through TDD.

If a teleport is not working, use CLUA to MoveToArea. Simply move your party to a safe area, and resume the game.

To answer your 1, 2, 3...

1) Go to the location where he should have reappeared, and use this code:
CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("XZAR13")
If that doesn't work then try his other code ("XZAR"), but I think I've told you the correct one above.

2) Sounds like you repaired this already. If it just left you standing there with no way to travel to another map, then use MoveToArea.

3) I did not experience that when I completed Hall Of Knowledge. I guess you could not pause and CLUA out once the loop has started, I don't know. Therefore you might want to MoveToArea before the loop starts. If that means that you have to not-pick-up the Book Of Dead, that kinda sucks cuz you wanted that book, but it's not a huge loss. The book dead does this: (+1 to INT, +1 to saving throw vs. death). You can either try granting yourself these bonuses with ShadowKeeper editor software, or try to use CLUAConsole:CreateItem("--------") but we have to find out the item-code for Book Of Dead. I can find out if you really need it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all of your help!

You are right about the teleport loop in the Hall of Knowledge. I couldn't pause it. I would like the book though if you know what the item code is.

I'll give the mod another shot!
