[b36] Anorithil death in fight gives error, breaks save game
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:32 am
After using the Orb of Many Ways to enter the farportal, and ending up in the fight between the orc and the Anorithil, I threw a few alchemist bombs, and, accidentally splashed the Anorithil with the edge of one - becoming hostile, I ended up having to kill the both of them. After killing her, I got a large lua error. Being worried, I ctrl-alt-deleted to close the game without saving, then loaded the autosave.
However, when I loaded the autosave, instead of showing up in the room with the portal and the two fighting, I spawned on the exit to the world map. Mildly concerned, I fought my way back to the right to the portal room, where the dialogue happened apparently as normal, and she sent me on my way to the Gates of Morning - the problem became obvious there. The "wild wild east" quest didn't properly finish when I loaded the autosave as I hadn't gone through the portal, and as such, even though the high paladin told me to talk to the mage, the mage would just tell me to go away, and I had no way of progressing. I couldn't get the orc pride quest either.
The only way I could fix it was to enter cheat mode, warp to the fourth floor of reknor, then enter the portal again, upon which the wild wild east quest would finish, the high paladin would give me the pride quest, and the mage would give me the quest to go to the Vor Armory.
What may or may not be related to this is, when I then hit 30 on cheat mode in Vor Armory, the usual donation popup didn't show up - but, I could not click on anything, type anything, or do anything - mashing random keys made my internet browser pop up with multiple tabs of the donation screen as if I had accepted it, but nothing I did would let me continue playing except for closing the game via right clicking the icon on the task bar, and clicking close, upon which 'save and exit' popped up, which did work, and then loading from the new savegame, after which things worked apparently fine.
