ell46 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I upgraded my PC and am now running Win7 with the latest patch, this is my first playthrough since the upgrade, in case you need to know any of that. My problem is all locks are unlocked and I've no idea why. On my old system I was running DAMutator and had locks open for a short time at the beginning of games, but I haven't used it on the new set up or this game. When I first noticed the locks were all open I assumed it was DAM that was still running old selections, but when I opened it tonight to disable that option nothing is selected and I definitely haven't used it. I can't think of any other mod that would cause this and I've no idea what to do next, having all the locks open is very nice but I'm loosing out on points by not being able to pick the locks. The only thing I've tried is selecting the open locks option in DAM, loading the game doing a quick save then going into DAM again deselecting and loading the game, but it made no difference the locks are still open.

RustyBlade Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Search your override folder for ABI_Unlockspell.GDA. If it is present, delete it and if it is not, it is not the mutator. Edit: I missed unlockspell.ncs, delete it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell46 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I did a search for those 2 files and they aren't there, so that's DAM ruled out. It doesn't make any sense all my other mods are romance, eyes, hair, extra dog slot etc. When I upgraded I did copy my override folder from the old HDD I wonder if there could be a file I can't identify from an old mod that came with it, but I'm sure I used all the mods I was using at the time, I even took a screen shot so I would know for sure what they were if I needed to reinstall them all and I don't recall any other than DAM that had anything to do with locks. Even my dogs gone weird, the nemesis skill/talent isn't showing up on the bar at the bottom and it is constantly showing the level up sign, but it can't level up on skills any more, that's starting to drive me nuts as well.

RustyBlade Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I honestly don't know on the locks now; I really didn't think it was the mutator because it requires the mage to zap the chest with his stick (not sure what the warrior does) but it was worth a try. As for dog, are you using the Extended Dog Talents mod? It adds to the talent points that dog normally gets and at high level you never get rid of the level up icon; if you are using it, it is conflicting with something else.

ell46 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've been through everything today and there isn't any mod that would have the locks permanently open other than DAM, the options you are referring to I don't use, but there is another options to have all locks open. In desperation I've installed that option and I'll play for a while then disable it and hope that fixes the problem if it doesn't I'm stumped. I can't choose any more talents for dog as he has them all, but the last one I think it's called Nemisis isn't showing up in the quick slots, I've tried dragging it there but it won't drag. I can still increase his attributes like strength etc when he levels up, but it's annoying that when he levels up you get a point for talents and of course there aren't any, so the + never goes away. I think I might have to use the Extended Dog Talents just to use the points, I did try it once, but from watching him fight I'm not convinced it actually does anything :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ok, delete the entire Mutator folder from your override and try it. If that solves it, go back and install only what you want. One of these days I will figure out how to hack the Beguiler and get it to work on dog so no one has to put up with what you and I put up with on his leveling. Of course I will only be able to post the instructions but at least there will be that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell46 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ooops, I didn't get notification anyone had replied and I popped in to say that my crazy idea worked. I ticked that option in DAM did a couple of little quests, quit, unticked etc and now all locks are locked, problem is no one is experienced enough to open the the first one I tried, talk about the 'law of sod' :laugh: Now to get the extended dog mod and get rid of that pesky + sign. It seems BW programmers couldn't be a*d bothered to make him different, just treated him as if he was a person, the lazy lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Actually they did treat him differently and that is why the beguiler doesn't work with him :turned: Glad you got your locks fixed though (even if you can't unlock them now lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ell46 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Oh heck, what's 'the beguiler' is it a must have? I think we need a mod that if you can't pick the lock then it opens anyway :woot: I really can't be bothered opening and closing the program just to unlock something because I can't pick it, I don't suppose there is anything worth having in their anyway. At least I know now I have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Dragon Age Beguiler 004 is a convenient way to cheat when you need to. Doesn't do anything for locks though but it can skill you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
