Just spotted this in my game. I'm using an older version, but I downloaded 13.1 and it seems the same error is there too.
This code is supposed to add two books to the second dungeon of Durlag's tower. They don't appear however. I think the reason is that "Container 18" and "Container 26" have spaces?

The books are there in my install (I checked for BGT), the spacing is not the problem. I'd assume you have a mod installed that might block the area script of executing the "place books into container"-action.
Or there might be the chance you expected them to be in the wrong places? The IESDP calls this level "Durlag's Tower, third subterranean level (Kiel, Islanne, door maze)" (AR0512, or ARD012 for BGT).

I just did some testing. I'm using the 5CD + TotSC version, and it seems that it is the spacing that's causing the problems. After removing the 2 spaces, the 2 books did appear.
Could it be that BGT doesn't care about the spacing, while BG does?
Here is my area script for reference (before removing spaces). I've highlighted the 2 instances where I removed spaces

So the GLOW code doesn't work, but you can see the 2 instances in the code where spaces where removed. Just ignore the Glow tags.
-
Indeed! Very good catch. But since the CreateItem doesn't work properly in BG1 (the items are in front of the container on the floor), I guess it would be best to add the items by area editing in the tp2. I'll keep it in mind for the next version.
Thank you for reporting!
-
Thanks.
Yes, the books indeed appear on the floor next to the container if you remove the spaces.
All the other books on the level appear on the floor too, so it might be good to put them there instead of a container. Also, I was a bit surprised at choice of placement. The Seek no Heir maybe is better suited in his eldest son's (heir's) room?
By the way, in this are also there are 9 or so ChaseLeft and ChaseRight scripts that summon dopplers in various places. But it seems only one each are used (the Left in the Teleporter room, the Right in Bridge room). Was dopplegangers chasing you as you go around this level a feature that later go abandoned?
-
Chasing Doppelgangers: I don't know. It's strange there are so many scripts with different names that do the same, though.
Maybe in Durlag's Tower, the books on the floor aren't that much out of concept. But BG1UB introduces other items, too, and they should be in the containers.
I won't change the mod content-wise, so I will not change the container the Seek no Heir"" is placed in, but which would be the eldest son's room (I don't remember)?
-
Kiel's crypt is near the exit. The one with 4 guardians.

I decided to make this an easy fix and just removed the spaces in the container names. In the next version, the items will be there for BG1 but laying on the floor.
