Update, for anyone similarly stuck: 'Boo's Scraps' is the culprit, didn't get removed properly at the end of the quest. Needs to be edited out. Kudos for the hilarious mod, though! Best laugh of BG2. :)

After having finished the Boo quest, Minsc's rejoin dialogue is messed up. He won't force talk the PC on being kicked out, and subsequently can't rejoin ('Minsc has nothing to say').

If there're any outstanding bugs with Suna Seni, please, report them now in the bug thread, before v20 is released. I will look into Minsc's voiceset in the meantime.

Please, report all issues in the pinned bug thread.

Yeah, this is one of two components in UB that I regularly skip due to a combination of bugginess and poor implementation of various elements/writing (the other being suna seni).

the Jade Hound vs Boolets thing is silly; I'd imagine most players that know about this would be tempted to intentionally get a riddle wrong for the clearly better reward

boo scraps remaining is clearly an annoying bug, and can cause you to lose items if you have SCS' 'move boo out of quickslot' component installed

minsc's voiceset when it gets restored has the wrong string/sound file for when he gets fatigued.


more subjective, but I think the writing and characterization throughout this mod is rather sub par; I winced a few times at some of the lines the first couple of times I saw them.

Hello! Thank you for your report!

I am going to tell you that v20 is ready and just needs jcompton's approval and:
- Ooops wrong spell has been corrected;
- 100/1000 gold issue has been corrected(no relation to SCS, when you say 10000, it just means you're lying);
- The issue with the guys from the Sea's Bounty has been corrected.

Great!

- The question about stones will probably not be changed. I've played this quest for the first time three weeks ago, and that question didn't seem like an issue or a glaring bug to me. Just a question out of the blue, but they're all out of the blue, a little.

It's not a bug, I'm just providing a report on my experiences with v19 to people who might be reading this thread.

Thank you, I will look into fixing Boo's Scraps. As for Jade's figurine and summon boolet ability, I am not sure I can judge(since I'm just a maintainer who fixes bugs), but I will take a look.

Boolet is just a novelty ability, right? There's basically no actual use for it, whereas the figurine is actually legitimately powerful, since it drains levels on hit or something, IIRC.

Minsc still gets 19 STR as a reward, but the THAC0 bug is gone.

I don't quite understand what needs fixing here, exactly, so I might need an explanation. Minsc has a THAC0 bug, and you *don't* want it to be fixed? You want Minsc both to have 19 str and a THAC0 bug post-quest? RELATED: If Minsc has a THAC0 bug, doesn't BG2 Fixpack fix that already?

Like I said, I'm not listing bugs, just reports of what's been fixed and what's still problematic. Basically I was reporting that the THAC0 bug mentioned multiple times in this thread has been fixed.

Also, this is to everyone: PLEASE REPORT YOUR ISSUES IN THE PINNED V19(later v20, or v21, or v29) BUG THREAD! Otherwise they will be lost, buried in old threads and no one will ever correct them.

Well, necroing a bit to update on what this quest looks like as of v19:

Pet monger still says "Oops wrong spell" but you're correctly teleported to the government district.
Gems have been removed as rewards, and therefore the third question doesn't matter.
Getting one question wrong gets you the jade hound figurine, which is way more powerful than the reward for getting no questions wrong (the summon boolet ability--which appears to have been nerfed to a novelty ability in recent versions).
Minsc still gets 19 STR as a reward, but the THAC0 bug is gone.
Boo's Scraps are undroppable and remain in Minsc's inventory after quest completion, need to be SK'd out (did they ever serve a purpose?)
If you have already purchased a license, the Cowled Wizards decide to reimburse you 1,000 gold (impressively you can tell them you paid 10k if you installed the SCS component to increase the license cost, I see DavidW did some work here), but you only get 100.
If you happened to mess with the guys in the Sea's Bounty before the quest started you have probably ruined the quest for yourself. They should only spawn when you follow Billy into the inn.

All in all, the fact that this mod was abandoned by cliffette 7 years ago clearly shows.

Problem I struck with the latest version of Unfinished Business was due to a flaw in the script for AR0314.BCS: if you go there before Boo goes missing you crash the entire Boo quest. There is only one trigger, it does not check if Boo has gone missing:

IF
   Global("WWThugsExist","AR0314",0)
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
      SetGlobal("WWThugsExist","AR0314",1)
      CreateCreature("WWDelag",[698.271],11) // Delag
      CreateCreature("WWSten",[745.253],0) // Sten
      CreateCreature("WWEff",[633.324],5) // Eforf
      CreateCreature("WWVivi",[788.285],2) // Vivick
END

This means that the guys only appear once. Cut scene wwcut.bcs will crash if they are not there.
Solution is to use the Console and reset the global variable:
CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("WWThugsExist","AR0314",0)

Console instructions below are from the IESDP resource:

"Activating the Console (BG2 / BG2:ToB)
Enable
Open the Baldur.ini file (located in the BG2 installaion directory).
Find the line [Program Options] and add the text Debug Mode=1 underneath.
Access
Create a new game / load a save game.
Press Ctrl and Space together.
CLUA commands can be entered in the editing area that appears at the bottom of the screen.
Commands must be prefixed with CLUAConsole: "

Cheats=1 may also be needed in the Baldur.ini file.

You may need to undo the death of the guys above. Near Infinity shows their death variables as: WWDel,WWSten,WWEff,WWVivi.

Hello!

I've been playing UB v19 and ran into a problem in the Boo's disappearance quest. The current situation is as follows:

 - Minsc complained that Boo is missing and is currently debilitated (Str 10)
 - We've met Billy at the docks and he ran inside when Minsc recognized him
 - Inside the tavern, all Billy says is "I didn't do anything!" (something like that) over and over again, no matter who starts the talk

I've learned that Billy is supposed to run to the back of the tavern (toward 4 thugs). However, the thugs aren't there. Err... In fact, I'm pretty sure CHARNAME killed them earlier... (oops...) So, it seems that this might be the problem.

Question: is it possible to somehow jump directly to the next step of the quest? Or, perhaps, spawn those four bandits and re-start the situation?

Please, any help is much appreciated. I've never messed with BG2's scripting but if you have any ideas that I can try, toss 'em my way and I'll try to figure it out.

I managed to get to Eleanya, but when the last riddle triggers, and Minsc and Nalia cut in, the conversation ends abruptly. I can pick up from that place, but it happens again. I'll try reloading to pre-quest save. Maybe that will work.

Hopefully these bugs are fixed in v18, so I'll unpin the thread.

I do hope you can find someone.

I thought that Icelus was already half way with v17, having collected quite some UB tp2 code from Nythrun but I guess it was not enough...

I know this topic is a little old, and Cliffette seems to be busy and without a computer, but here's a bug I haven't seen reported. I assume it's because everyone hates Aerie and doesn't have her in the party, but you can't complete the Boo quest with her in your group! If you don't have Nalia in your group, when it comes time for her line, it shows Aerie instead and it says something like "I stand here looking helpless and innocent and that seems to be ok with me."  ??? Anyway, what happens is you get the first two riddles, then she asks her third question. Minsc pitches in, Nalia pitches in (if she's in the party) and then... nothing. If you try to talk to her again, it just goes through the last question again, but you never get a chance to respond. This had me baffled until I finally replaced Aerie with Jan, then everything went fine! I know Aerie can be a wretched beast, but perhaps you should be able to finish the quest without kicking her out.  ;)
