Laughing/talking book cases... Options

[larrienne]

I know Vlad is away but thought I'd post to see if anyone else sees the text when clicking on the bookcases in Lavallin's room:
(*Laughs*) A wise precaution in deed Lorien. (Lorien being CHARNAME/main character in my game).
Talking bookcases?!

Also on opening Lavallin's chest when searching for Bartlemy's ring, mages teleport in, attack the party and the following text appears:
*A Ring of Might.
I was not prepared for what I was to meet when I finally encountered Delrysia...etc...etc*
This chest should contain a letter for Bartlemy from Delrysia. Without this letter, the quest cannot be continued. Nor may any other quests as killing these mages turns the academy hostile towards my party
Please, I would like to know if anyone else has this happen so's I can eliminate the possibility of it being specific to my game. Thanks guys.

I think it's okay that mages appear if you try to unlock Lavallin's table. The string should be:

~A magical ward has detected your theft! You see a guard is teleporting to this area!~

If Lavallin stands behind then:

~How dare you are to steal my stuff!~
~A magical ward has detected your theft! You see a guard is teleporting to this area!~

Also appearance of Lavallin is dependent on two factors:

1. Daytime
2. Your progress in his quest.

The strings are messed because of two reasons:

1. After update you reload the saved game where you have already visited that area.
2. I didn't properly make a WeiDU update but just copied the corrected scripts and/or areas which already contain custom strings referred to your previous dialog.tlk.

I'm working on all these issues right now. Thank you for these reports!
