Exult Forum

Apparently while running around the mine looting a troll's backpack or barrel, Shamino got mad and quit my party. He refuses to talk to me, and I can't seem to figure out how to revert him back to normal. I tried editing flags, but it hasn't worked. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks.

Have you tried casting the 'dance' spell on him (if you're playing BG, that is)? This usually 'reactivates' non-party NPC's, allowing you to talk to them.

Interesting suggestion, I never would've thought of that. It didn't work though. He still tells me he doesn't join thieves. This has got to be solveable using flags...right? I'm curious now.

I also tried Dance, then killing, resurrecting, and Dance again, still no go.

It might be in the NPC flags for Shamino, but I'm not sure. One of the Exult developers would know.

I'm wishing that section of the FAQ was completed. It's still fun to mess around. I would just rather not revert back to my old savegame if I can hack that bastard back into my party!

Clear flag 748. Iolo's "angry at that dirty thief avatar" flag is 746. The other party members angry flags are also prolly in the same area but I'm not going to bother going through usecode to map them out.

Shamino's "talk" function is 0403H. It would appear a timer is used to determine if enough time has elapsed for him to forgive your previous un-virtuousness. But by clearing flag 748, you force his forgiveness anyway.

Great, that worked! Thanks for the input. It'd be interesting to know what those other flags are for though...
