how to get handmaiden to like you again

[darthface]

If you're like me, you plowed through Visas's dialogue on the first planet leaving Handmaiden's influence in the dust. This causes a scene with Kreia and Handmaiden, after which Handmaiden refuses to discuss anything further with you.

 

I realized there was no way in-game to get her back, and I unfortunately had no recent saves to go back to. I tried messing with the plethora of variables in the save editing tool, and none of them seemed to make a difference.

 

After a few hours of trial and error in a hex editor and comparing with old saves, I finally isolated the address in GLOBALVARS.res (in the save folder); B009. The value should be changed from 2 to 0.

 

I know this isn't a mod, but I thought I'd pass along the info anyway.

Thanks in behalf of everyone, im sure some people find this useful.

If possible, please email me two versions of the file, one for each value (0 and 2); I'd like to find out why you couldn't find the value in the Globals editor.

 

You can find my email address here (in the readme file).

 

Thanks!

What does address of B009 mean? I also have the same problem and cannot find the value in your editor.

 

Please help.

As far as I can see, two global number variables are used to keep track of this.

 

If "003EBO_Visas_Hand" is set higher than 0, the initial dialog will trigger when you speak to her where she accuses you of trusting Visas more than her. At the end of that conversation, the variable "000_Hand_Finale" is set to 1, which is used to trigger her "go away" response whenever you try to talk to her after that.
