IA and Improved Ilyich, this is very painful Options

[Vardaman]

I did a quick search of the forums and didn't see a thread like this yet.

I thought I'd kill some time until 4.3 is ready and I'm having an awful time with this mod.

I've cleared out everything (including the 2nd map) except anything past the library. I wanted to turn my party invisible and go past them all to the Sword of Chaos room but the Glabrezu keeps following me. Then if I lead the glabrezu away and kill it, I save and then the next second Ilyich and Co. rush into the room and I get slaughtered. I might be able to take them all on individually but I'm having no luck separating them. The help in the readme basically consists of spamming traps and closing doors. You can't close the dungeon doors in IA.

Does anybody have any tips? Where's thetruth when you need him?

Improved Ilyich itself sticks the doors open to prevent cheese. From the changelog:

Release 17:
* Doors on CI Level 1 stick open once opened.

I've managed to separate different members of the Ilyich party myself, usually luring them out of the library into the Otyugh room one at a time, but always found it very difficult - I play with the "Slightly Improved Ilyich" mod now instead, which I find a bit more manageable

Ah, so it's II that's sticking the doors.

I guess I'll have to try Slightly Improved Ilyich for my next run-through. Is it 100% compatible with IA?

Thanks, coaster.
