I hope that posting 3 questions at once doesn't break the rules. So:
1) Is there a direct way to make a new SoA game start in an area other than AR0602 (say, ToB isn't installed)?
I've tried to simply change STARTARE.2DA and STARTPOS.2DA files, but it crashes the game.
An obvious solution is to EXTEND_TOP of the area script AR0602, but people tend to have several
mods installed at once, so this may cause problems.
2) There's an oddity in the original AR0602 script. The third block looks like
IF
Global ("IrenTeleport","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal ("IrenTeleport","GLOBAL",1)
blah blah blah
END
But where the hell is "IrenTeleport" assigned 2? I've failed to find out.
3) Some romance opportunities allowed by BioWare are idiotic, such as Jaheira romancing a hobbit.
But who am I to judge, though?
Anyway, I have a question about Charname's races available. Methinks as if it is possible to add more
to the 7 originally set (if so, Tiefling is the first obvious race) (not that I intend to do it, but I'd like to
take it into account in a mod I'm working on, where an NPC's reactions strongly depend on
Charname's race). So, if I am not mistaken and the list of Charname's races can really be extended,
can anybody give me a hint how far can it go?
