A few issues Options

[andargor]

Hi,

First, thanks for the hard work. I've been enjoying NeJ for a couple of days now. There are a few issues I would like to highlight. And I'm also stuck without knowing where to go.

Here goes:

• I thought it was a brand new mod, and not a modified IWD import. The README is in the mod download itself (it should be posted here, or did I miss it?), but unless I'm blind it does not mention this fact. It would have been good to know.
• On Yxunomei's level (TT4005), I was not able to get back to the previous level (CTD when taking the stairs back). I know Vlad said forget CLUA in another post, but I used it to get back up one level (TT4004). I could get out fine after that. I tried with a previous save game and entered Yxunomei's level, and exited right away, which would CTD as well. So it's nothing that happens on that level which makes it crash.
• In the Severed Hand, killing all of Kaylessa's warriors did not make her dialogue change, nor was XP received. I had to kill her without her asking me to.
• I saw some posts about Larrel's dialogue, and I also found it confusing. Hrothgar would interject at whatever option I chose between Kuldahar and the future. I did not see Dorn's Deep as an option. My biggest beef was that all conversations from that point on were railroaded towards getting back to the future, with no "Don't worry Hrothgar, I'm just checking my options at this point. We're here to help you" branch available, and no way to exit the conversation. Also, with Larrel, there were no "Larrel, let's not travel right now, I have to consider what I am going to do carefully" branch. So there was no way to back out. I had to reload a few times to get the options I wanted, and even then the result was... confusing.
• This is where I am stuck: it seems I have no other option at this point to take the portal in Kuldahar or use the Astrolabe. Both of these take me to a point where Tilorn and three other mages confer over my failing life. Tilorn casts a spell, and the game CTDs. I have heard mention of an "Orrick", but I do not know who that is...
• When the party returned from the Hand to Kuldahar, I entered in Urnst the Potter's shop. My party immediately attacked him. Normal?

That's it. I'll try to figure out why I'm stuck...

I really can't imagine how it can interfere with NEJ or TS...

KD, let's start from the fact that people who installed this version of Baldurdash along with my mods reported several problems and once they removed the whole game, and then reinstalled the original v1.12 + TS and/or NeJ according to my recommendations all the related problems have gone. Second, I have never tried to install BDash-WeiDU again after Rene released his first version. Third, I made all my mods on top of original Baldurdash, and I assumed that several files from original Baldurdash would be located in the override folder during installation of TS and NeJ. Eventually, if someone wants to meticulously test compatibility of my mods with BDash-WeiDU and decipher all the related problems this is really up to him/her. Personally I don't see any advantage in converting original Baldurdash to WeiDU. The same approach solicits making the next step and converting the official ToB patch to WeiDU, why don't?

I noticed that MLI2CA.bam in the corresponding animation BAM set belongs to Lizard King animation, not to green Lizardmen.

It's not usable, you may delete it. Green lizardmen don't cast spells, at least in TS and NeJ .
