PC properties bug

[Powerslave]

After teleporting the the temple, I got stuck with an ugly item called "PC properties".
I cant drop it or get rid of it. Even so, NWN enhanced is a real gem.

[Tyler Durden]

That was an issue in the original, too, but for me it only happened when I died.

In goblin and orcs caves after leveling up my person (sourcerer) to 10-th level I have got a lot of "PC properties" items. Over 12 of them. Once - it is a small bug, dozens of them - serious bug

[tribunal2]

Update: this "Item" is everythere. It seems to be connected with some spell? Gaming is almost impossible after it

According to this thread

https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/pc_properties

You can get rid of it by putting it in your quickbar and then using it

[tribunal2]

they are in loot, not in my inventory
I have found only one fix (?) here:

https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/hakpak/remove-pc-properties
and I don't know what to do with these "*.ncs" files

But it is not for EE version.

And even this fix will work, it is still a serious bug

Those files go in the override folder (which you'll find in the Neverwinter Nights section of MyDocuments).

Almost everything you find on the vault will still work for EE.

I haven't used those scripts myself, but TheKrit's work is normally excellent.

General tip : clear out the override folder before playing custom modules.

my friend just did the quickbar thing and now it is just stuck in the bar and he cannot empty the slot

For anyone like me that did a forum search to find out how to get rid of one from the inventory, slotting it on the quickbar does work but you have to use the quickbar slot so it is highlighted blue then manually replace the quickbar slot with an item

for example I have my greatsword bound to f7, manually put the pc properties item into the f7 slot, hit f7 then drop the greatsword back into the f7 slot, will delete the item from the inventory and keeps the quickslot usable

Characters created using NWN 1.68 or earlier (last official non-english patch for NWN Diamond) lack the riding skill. This is compensated by the PC Properties creature hide. However, the script malfunctions as it doesn't scan whether the riding skill is given through the equipped hide or if a hide is given at all.

The only official workaround is (re)creating the character in NWN 1.69 or EE

Even in the latest versions of NWN EE this still remains a problem where these useless PC Properties plot items you cannot drop clog your inventory. Previous workarounds using quickbar slots did not help me as now the item gets put back in your inventory on quickslot use.

What did work was using a now builtin script which will remove the cannot drop flag from these items already in your inventory. It is puzzling to me that they didn't fix the bug so it does not happen in the first place but this works reliably at least.

To do this I had to access the console (mapped to the tilda key here) and then enter:
DebugMode 1
dm_runscript nw_itemreset
DebugMode 0

Then you can drop the items or put them in a chest etc.

Right-click on the quickbar and clear the slot after you have used the item.

Strange it should just run the script and consume the item when you put it in a quick bar. Make you sure you clear the quickbar afterwards of course

[Delemas]

Strange things happen with PC Properties items. It you attempt to get rid of them by using from the quickbar, It won't let me clear the quickbar, the right click menu doesn't come up. After you use the item and it reappears elsewhere in your inventory but you cannot even move that item in your inventory until you save, exit, relaunch and reload the game. Then you can drag the item you already reset with dm_runscript nw_itemreset and put it in a chest or drop it. This is buggy as heck but those keep popping up. It has happened to me at least a dozen times now.

That sounds like the script of the item isnt executing properly. Likely not a prompt for concern but perhaps send the save to Beamdog. I'm sure it would provide a bit of useful information on fixing this bug.
