keyring without any Keys on it??

Post by neothehacker »

A new problem with the Keyring Update occured:

Some Keys, i added to the keyring do not seem to be on it anymore. For example the "ultimate Lockpick"-Key or the Key to Zauriels House (my acual home :-). Is there any chance to got these Keys back on the Keyring?

Maybe there is a problem with installing a new Keyring-Mod-Version over the old one... I did this everytime a new Version occured.

If you want the Savegame, say so - I will add it to Bugs Section again.

The problem was that I was using a global static var to store the keys in the keyring; when I made some improvements to the spell system, the global statics were changed -- the keys are possibly still in the save, but are not being loaded into the correct var anymore.

I did some changes to the way the keyring are handled in the newest version so that this problem does not happen again in the future; I *might* be able to hexedit your 'usecode.var' into working again, but it is a long shot.

You can also always use ES to create the keys and give them the right quality -- the same as the door/chest they are supposed to open.

First of all, thans for the help.

What should I do now? And which usecode.var file do you need? The one out of BG or the Keyring usecode (I think it's the second one, right?)?
