Good to see you active once again

Well, what can I say. I wasn't really sure what exactly was wrong back then (supposedly TS was mentioned just because the thread was dedicated to it), so it's my speculations mostly now.
I've checked G3Fixpack's documentation and found the following in there

QUOTE

Scripted Banters Could Prompt Wrong Banter
Five banter triggers were trying to check if they were outside (verified from dialogue trigger). Since the script and dialogue triggers were different, this could lead to either the wrong banter or none at all (best case) or a stutter (worst case).

Files altered: aerie.bcs, anomen.bcs, minsc.bcs, nalia.bcs, yoshimo.bcs

and in tp2 -

// alter missing areatype check to match banter trigger

REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~AreaType(0)~ ~AreaType(OUTDOOR)~ // for Minsc Umar Hills reminder, Nalia-Edwina banter
COMPILE_BAF_TO_BCS
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

Which does look to be the case, as the posted script had 'AreaType(0)' in it.

Yes, this is a known problem of AreaType(0). If I am not mistaken, Baldurdash fixes said problem, as well. I am more interested in Renal-Yoshimo interaction. I have never encountered any problem with this. Always, when you enter Docks for the first time, Yoshimo says that he needs to visit Renal. Then, if you don't visit him for quite some time, Yoshimo reminds you about this matter. The block that you posted at Aerie forums has no connection to any other event in the game, so it cannot affect Yoshimo's course of action, or make him stuttering. I can remove this block from Yoshimo's script without any prejudice. But first, I'd like to know a reason for this.

It's no good asking me for a reason, as I don't know it myself

The problem was initially brought up in 'questions and anwsers' thread, where they've attached their yoshimo.bcs (from which I've posted that block) for inspection.

I can't seem to find it anywhere in v.166's tp2. Are you sure?

Neither have I. OTOH I can't recall ever waiting for as long as two days before going to pay a visit to Renal.
