Yet another bleeding BG thread *sigh*

[Jamski]

In that case, its possible that Duck didn't install it properly.

at first, it doesn't appear to work, when you buy from shops it seems to buy in stacks of 20 as usual.

Items already in your inventory will have to be manually grouped together to make larger stacks. They don't automatically do it (although after that point, when you buy or pick up items they should stack automatically)

but they should stack when they are placed in your inventory.

When picking up items, sometimes you have to have 2 empty inventory spaces (not just 1) for arrows to stack properly.

[Jamski]

I just realised that in my last game of BG, my party was carrying more than 6,000 arrows and 3,000 stones around with them. Fools. I mean, what exactly would a quiver containing 1,500 arrows look like strapped to your back? It would be a chuffing huge SACK of arrows. You wouldn't fit through doorways

Jamski's entire party is encumbered.

How do I encumber myself with an inmate tag?

* duke is well aware that this is the wrong place to ask and prepares himself for justly-deserved approbation from all comers.

I only played a bit on Friday night, and did the second area of Cloakwood Forest. I got heartily sick of the web traps, because it's impossible to detect them (it seems), and they hold you for ages. Even when I got the Spider Bane sword, it just meant that one character would have to stand there for ages until all the others caught up.

[Jamski]

Well, go to the same screen where you set your sig and avatar etc, and if you've subscribed, then there is a new button to select if you want a badge or not.

As for the web traps. They're another reason to use arrows, yes?

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

Hell, you should be seeking out situations where you can use up some of those arrows.

p1: "Hey, look. A button. Shall I press it?"
p2: "No, lets press it by shooting an arrow into it!"

p1: "We need to mark which caves we have gone down."
p2: "Ok, lets shoot arrows into the ground!"
p1: "We could always use this chalk to dr..."
p2: "Arrows it is! Fire away!"

[Jamski]

Actually I do that in IWD2, dropping arrows on the floor to mark which passages I took in the forest.

Arrows - they're so multifunctional

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

I suppose I should admit I got the "pressing a button with an arrow" trick from Thief II. Good old arrows.

[duke o' york]

But I haven't got eight zillion arrows! That's Jamksi!
Note: one way you can tell us apart is that he's the one with deity under his name

[Jamski]

Yeah, I should get that fixed

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

[duke o' york]

Come one Skanky - you've spent enough time on 'poly to know that the top level playing Civ is diety!

[Skanky Burns]

I still don't understand how that relates to people confusing you with Jam.

News From my Fighter (18/00-18-5-18-7-18 LBow ++++)

Ok, this TuTu BG1 is turning into a picnic party.

After Candlekeep, I took Imoen (Swashbuckler) with me, then Kivan (True class), Branwen and Minsc (True class).
I went almost strait to the NPCs, not avoiding the monsters, but not waisting any time on the maps (except to FriendlyArm, to get that hidden ring...).
We went (level 1-2) directly to the Gnoll fortress and delivered Dynaheir (Sorceress).
On the way back to Nashkell I cleared one of the southern maps (Drienne and her cat).

Did the Nashkell mines and cleared the east southern maps.
Then the Bandit Camp, then Cloakwood (Coran in, Imoen out) and the mines.

I am now Fighter 6 (LBow +++++, LSword +) and I have started clearing the coast.
This is too easy. I haven't really used Dynaheir yet (except for Identify's).

I think I will go on with this game, but only to get the Tomes and Manuals (My goal was/is to make a BG2 character with 19 in some 19 stats, esp. Ch)

[duke o' york]

Which ring?

I think it'd be cheating to go back and grab that ring though. Next game on the other hand........ Not that I know where to find it, hint hint.
