My previous post only make Zaknadrix friendly. Antx remained hostile and the Council of 7 quest was still broken.
Here is the REAL FIX FOR THE EVIL IMPS BUG which allows for the completeion of the Council of 7 Imp quest.
This fixes the problem with both imps acting hostile and refusing to talk.
For these directions, I'm using the '.' to represent an hex value of '00'
Open 'data.000' from the savegame folder in an hex editor.
Search for "Zanadrix"
there should be 3 occurrences of "Zanadrix"
skip the first one, and look for a string similar to this:
"Zanadrix59.....Zanadrix.K"
overwrite both Z's with the hex value 00 (basically clear both Z's)
the string will look like this:
".andadrix59......anadrix.K"
now go back to the top of the document and search for "Antx"
there are a lot of hits so keep searching until you find a string that looks like this:
"Antx47.....Antx.K"
overwrite both A's with the hex value 00 (basically clear both A's)
the string will look like this:
".ntx47......ntx.K"
save the file
Now when you load the save game, both imps are friendly and will speak.
The council of 7 quest is now fixed and completable.
Hopefully Larian Studios will release a new patch for this awesome game.
