Greta's upgrade from Khyryk (solved?)

Author	Topic: Greta's upgrade from Khyryk (solved?)
Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, May 4 2005 11:51 Profile #0 I've tried Seletine's cheat code 'sdf 101 27 2' to correct the Khyryk-upgrade-Greta bug. But I'm not noticing anything different in Greta's attack now. It still seems to be a searer, and it doesn't seem to do much more damage. What is the Khyryk upgrade supposed to do? Is that code really effective? [ Thursday, May 05, 2005 10:33: Message edited by: Student of Trinity ] -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

I wonder if it's just ineffectual (or doesn't improve you beyond the previous purchased upgrade)? -------------------- "Mongo only pawn in game of life" -- Mongo Posts: 75 | Registered: Monday, August 5 2002 07:00

There is supposed to be a bug that prevents it from happening, and it definitely happened to me. Kept clicking on the appropriate dialog, kept getting the response about her training being effective, but never lost the money and never got anything. After seeing Seletine's idea, I checked through the script for Greta's previous upgrade, from Gretchen. Sure enough, there seem to be a few lines missing from the Khyryk dialog script, in comparison. Problem is that this is not the whole problem. I can edit the script so that it sets the appropriate flag and drops me 3000 coins, and those things both work. Seletine's cheat code also works to set the flag, since it does remove the Greta-training dialog option from Khyryk's dialog. None of these things actually upgrades Greta's attack any. Her Searer doesn't get any better, and it certainly doesn't change into an Ice Lance (as Khyryk's words about teaching her a new spell strongly suggest). So the bug appears to be in how the engine responds to the stuff done flag, not just in the failure of the script to set the flag. Looks like we will just have to wait for G3 1.0.2 or so. Which means, I guess, that I have to put this game on hold for a while, since I've done just about all I can do without killing Khyryk.

She ended up with a pretty powerful essence orbs attack if I recall correctly - at the very least it was blue instead of green and didn't do acid damage any more.

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Thursday, May 5 2005 10:37 Profile #4 Yeah, now it worked for me too, and Greta has a nifty multi-strike blue attack. What I seem to have done differently this time was (a) use the sdf in Khyryk's Tower (actually I used my modified script that took my 3000 too), instead of somewhere else, and (b) then leave the zone before trying Greta's attack. The last time I had Greta attack Khyryk right away, and a plain old Searer came out. This time I took a little jaunt back and forth to Stonespire, and when we came back she had blue rays. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

eztaren Apprentice Member # 3115	written Friday, May 6 2005 05:32 Profile #5 The sdf thing didn't work for me either, and Greta is supposedly upgraded, though (even though I'm using 1.0.1) there was no change. Of course Khyryk is dead now, so if that stops the game from correcting the upgrade... oh well. -------------------- Consciousness (n): That annoying period between naps.
