Solution for Zorvak'mur illithid arena pit fights

[Legacy_ZFR]

               Below is the solution for problems with the arena pit fights in Zorvak'mur, the illithid city.
(Special thanks to The-Krit from the old Bioware forums for helping with his suggestion!)


Problem symptoms:
_ You keep getting the message "there is no fight going on, talk to the Pit Boss" even after placing a bet on the fights.
_You get stack underflow with the act_q2d2pit_1 script when talking with the pit boss.
_You get "UNRECOGNISED TOKEN" error when talking to the pit boss.

The solution is as follows:
_In the nwm folder of your install directory, make a back-up copy of XP2_Chapter2.nwm (so if anything goes wrong you can revert to it).
_Open toolset. If you can't open chapter 2, simply drag the XP2_Chapter2.nwm into the toolset to open it.
_Go to the Build menu, and select "Build Module".
_You want "Unused" and "Missing Resources" to be unchecked, and "Compile" to be checked. Before you hit the "Build" button, check "Advanced Controls" then uncheck "Creature CR", "Encounters", and "Palettes"; you're only interested in compiling scripts. Hit the "Build" button.
_When the build is done, hit the "Done" button.
_Select "Save" from the File menu and save the file.
_Enjoy betting on the fights in the pit.

(Although tested and appears to work perfectly, please don't hold me responsible if anything goes wrong. Remember to make a back-up of the XP2_Chapter2.nwm just in case)

               Hooray! Now I can finally see what the hell those fights are about! (I personally kept getting the first and third symptoms).

               I get all three errors, tried solution and no change.

After the build finishes it says "no errors were found." '>

               That's strange... Did you make sure you're compiling the right file (XP2_Chapter2.nwm) and not chapter 2 from SoU or the original campaign.
Did you make sure "Compile" was checked.
Did you remember to Save after build was over?

               Check on all three, I followed the instructions to the letter. Backed everything up (put backup in zip), opened XP2_Chapter2.nwm, checked compile and unchecked the other 2, build, after like 2 minutes it finishes and at the bottom it says "no errors found", I still saved after. No change at all.

I tried it 3 times, gave up and just moved on.

Anyways, I just finished SoU. I'll try again my second time around xD

               Works like a charm.
Thanks alot ZFR, I was wondering what the pit is for. A decade has passed and it's just now that I was able to see what's happening down there.

Might as well copy and save your post with regards to the fix, in any case I get nostalgic and decided to play this game again. (I don't trust the internet, files and inputs come and go. =P )
