Rjali Romance, The latest readme Options

[nullset]

@Predatel Are you using the Beamdog Client with the Beamdog direct download? Or are you using Steam or GOG? The BitCheck trigger is there in Beamdog, but Steam and GOG have been known to leave stuff out of their installs. If it is Steam/GOG, you'll have to address your concern to them, as I have no control over what they do and do not choose to include. I have had users who had problems because Steam/GOG left the Sirene animation out of their packages. Also, what operating system are you using? Are you installing the mod yourself or using BWS?

[Predatel]

It's the GOG version and I'm running on win10 64 prof.

[nullset]

I, also, am running on win10 64 pro. I suggest you get in contact with GOG and request that they reinstate the BitCheck trigger into their package. I cannot remove it from the Rjali mod without leaving bugs behind. You could try putting 0x40F7 BitCheck(S:Name*,S:Area*,I:Bit*Bits) into the trigger.ids (using Near Infinity), but I cannot guarantee that that would be sufficient.

[Predatel]

I'll give the edit a try.

Update: the install went ok this time, I'll check how is it in game these days and post if everything seems ok.

Thanks for the extremely to the point assistance!

Da nada, Predatel. Good to know that it worked. I was afraid that they also might have altered the engine. Seems that nearly everyone is trying to take over the internet world these days. That's why I stick with Beamdog who still have some scruples.

It might be due to me not being an English native speaker but...what does "making girls parkable" mean?

Just in case...is it just the "multiple romances at the same time allowed" option or I missed something there?

And if so then to use the multiple romances I must specifically ask Horace to activate it, right?

Hi Abdelan,
After a girl has been "scouted" by Rjali ("Do you want to stay with us?") and the deArnise Keep has been rescued, you may "park" her in the Keep. This means that, when you drop her from your party, you are given the option to have her wait for you at the Keep where you can pick her up later if you wish, or just chat with her for a bit. Now, Saerileth and Ninde cannot be parked until ToB after their plot lines have reached a certain point. And Yvette cannot be parked at all due to the nature of her plot and character.
No, multiple romances at the same time is ON from the start; that's what this mod is all about. You can ask Horace to speed-up the process of advancing girls to the point of being parkable, but they will get there anyway...eventually.

I have a question where have you found a nalia romance v6 all i can find is v5? or Fade Romance v7.3b when the sphs website has 5.1

I can't seem to find the de'Arnise v6 either. Use the v5, as the v6 was primarily there to be compatible with EET.
As to the Fade, the developer was not scrupulous about updating the documentation. The latest Fade download (regardless of shown version) should give you v7.3b.

Hello, I have a question regarding the version numbers of the various mods that Rjali interacts with. I noticed in the latest readme it lists the version numbers of the other mods, but many of them are... off. In some cases the reason is clear, as with Fade or Ninde - version numbers on the website don't match the actual version downloaded. In others, I have no idea what's going on - for instance, Saerileth most recent version is v18, but the mod wants v20? Where did you get v20? Similarly, Yvette has the version requested at 3.0 but the most recent version is 4.0 - should I find and use the older version? Do you plan on updating Rjali to use the newer version? Isra Romance has a similar version mismatch, where the most recent one seems to be not the one you are using in Rjali. Tyris as well is at v8, while the readme wants v7. Amber wants 5.1, but I can only find 5.

So basically - are all of the supported mods at their most recent version in Rjali? If not, would it be possible to let us know via the readme or some other form which mods Rjali has/will not be updated alongside so we can know definitively which mods should use older versions? And how do we find versions that are "from the future", like Saerileth v20?

[nullset]

@KronoKinesis I have noticed some of these and was planning to check them out. This will take quite a while. Meanwhile, Saerileth V20 and d'Arnise V6 can be found at http://eetcompatiblemods.baldursextendedworld.com/ which lists all EET compatible mods. I believe that my mod will work with all (or most) versions (including Saerileth v18) but, if you run into problems with one while I am still putzing around, let me know. Understand that any changes I make will be to v10.3 and up; the v8.5 (which I made available for BWS and they modify for EET compatibility) will not be updated. (FYI: after V8.5, I added an epilogue which EET does NOT like.)

[KronoKinesis]

Thank you for the speedy reply! That clarifies everything, I appreciate it. I think I'll wait for now for the update while I work through BG1 - unless I end up speeding through it, haha.

Hi, I have a problem in the game where I cannot trigger the final choice in the Throne of Baal. Solar appears, then the companions make their comments and after that the dialogue returns to Solar, it says “(Solar looks at you intently, anticipating your decision.)”. If I press to continue the conversation, it ends abruptly, without the possibility to proceed and after a couple of seconds Melissan’s health bar returns and the she can be attacked ( but not killed), even thought I already won the fight. I tried the C:SetGlobal("LRTMad","GLOBAL",1) command that you recommended for another user with a similar problem, but it didn’t work. I have installed all the suggested mods, except AmberEET Romance v5.1, because Rjali wouldn’t install with it for some reason. I tried changing my party to see if the problem would be fized, but even if I only have Rjali in my party, the bug still happens.
Thank you for whatever help you can give.

On what platform are you playing? Which release of Rjali are you playing? Who is in your party? It would also be useful to have a list of all your variable settings.

Do you have Imoen Romance mod installed?

I'm playing on PC. The version I'm using is 10.4 and i tried different part combinations and still got the same result( even tried to trigger the endgame with only Rjali in my party and it still didn’t work)
And about the variables, do you want the Global ones from the Keeper or is there a file in the game directory with them?(I'm sorry about my ignorance. It is the first time I'm playing the game modded.)

The GLOBAL variables from Keeper is what I need. And I would like to know who was in your party when you first encounterred the problem. I recall having this problem a long time ago. I will just have to try to track it down again.

My email is nullset@sympatico.ca, which would be more convenient for me for receipt of the variable list.

Do you have Imoen Romance mod installed?

Yes, I do.

Those symptoms are very similar to what I've encountered with Imoen romance but without Rjali. Some conditions break the Solar dialogue even if Imoen isn't even there. I've also seen many reports from other players about this on the net.
I no longer have the game where I failed and can't recall the exact circumstances but maybe with your globals at hand they can find out.
