Endless Nights IV help needed

IIRC I played this mod years ago once or twice. Recently I found the mod is uploaded again in the new NWN Vault and downloaded the CEP version, added PRC, and started to play.

 

While this is a good module, the enemy dead-body vaporization is weird and too fast for spell-caster type PCs.

 

Dead opponents disappear only few seconds after their death, along with lootable items. Thus, it is very hard for an arcane caster type PC to loot. When an enemy dies, such a PC tend to be away from it. And it is often dangerous to approach a dead body in the middle of skirmish, as other enemies are still fighting nearby. Also, if such a PC uses area effect spells and eliminates multiple opponents at the same time, there is no time for him to loot all of them.

 

Was that always like this? Or did my addition of PRC somehow modify the way dead bodies disappear?

 

Is there any way to let dead bodies exist much longer?

loot never disappears, at least I havent seen such behavior yet at all

 

if monster has any loot the loot will appear as a bag or other style of placeable depending on the monster settings with the loot from monster inside

 

if monster is so called "lootable" then instead of vanishing, it will stay on the ground as corpse object that can be opened and looted

 

in both cases, as long as there is some item inside the corpse/lootbag, it will never disappear, normally

 

it is possible this was caused by PRC, but couldnt it be that those monsters just dont possess any loot?

I killed some of the monsters, checked if they had something to loot, then left them with their possessions. They disappeared with their belongings and no lootbags were left behind.

 

Edit : Some of the monsters leave either dead body or loot bag. But many others disappears with loots.

You would probably have to look through the clean-up scripts.

Good scenario is that it is simple heartbeat script that you can alter to your liking.

Bad scenario is that every creature possess different script.  (OnDeath)

I could not fix the problem nor found what is wrong. This phenomenon seems to be inconsistent. Most of the cases, certain types of monsters, Vampires, Minotaurs, Drows, Shades and such vanishes with their lootable gears. But in some places, they left loot bags when they die.

 

So I just continued to play. At least I can get their gear if I loot them immediately after killing. Also, there seemed to be no other problems.

 

But now I stuck. I cleared all the quests in the four main areas. Now the last quest giver wished me to go into Astral Plane, and upgraded my weapon. But how can I go into the Astral Plane? The journal says nothing. And I cannot find any place to go.

 

Is this a bug (possibly caused by adding PRC)? Or am I missing something, in-game?

 

Edit: Never mind. I found the portal.
