I got enserric a while ago... well into second level.. I did not
know he would change into a different type of sword. I've bet the
house on short swords so to speak and would like to change enserric
into one. I'm running linux so no toolset for me. any help would be
great.

Well, I'm not sure. There are different templates for Enserric in the
toolset, so you could spawn in the short sword template; however, the
intelligent sword property is added dynamically when the weapon is first
spawned. The initial conversation and scripts are local to the Chapter 1
module, so you can't just run them where you are. I'm afraid the
simplest solution is a friend with Windows so you can create the
appropriate weapon in the toolset, drop the .uti file in your /override
and spawn it into your game.

I only went through HotU once and somehow I missed Enserric. Where
(exactly) is he in Chp 1?

In Undermountain Central, on the north side of the area, is a room with
a bunch of skeleton royalty. Enserric is in the grip of one of the
chieftans.

Bleah. It's not as simple as I would have thought. I figured you could
just spawn in the appropriate placeable object that runs the initial
dialogue and then run the script that starts the dialogue.
Unfortunately, BW placed down the invisible object and changed the tag,
but did not create a custom blueprint for it, so you can't spawn it in.

It's possible you could go back up to that room, use the console to
reset the variable on the trigger and then step into the trigger again.
Don't ask me how to do this, BW's site is down right now, so I can't
look up the list of console commands. If you can't figure it out for
yourself later, ask again and I'll see if I can help.

Then you are screwed, because the invisible conversation placeable is
destroyed when the conversation ends.

Is it possible to enter variables on a trigger, and if yes, how do you do
it? When I move the cursor over the yellow shape, the icon shifts from the
spell to the hand symbol, and clicking doesn't seem to have any effect at
all.

It is? Looking at the script that runs on conversation end, the only
thing that is destroyed is the black sword being held by the chieftan.
And that's not what is running the conversation.

I'm thinking dm_setvarint could be used and the trigger targeted. I'd
have to play all the way through to that area to check, but you can give
it a try. Use

dm_setvarint nTriggered 0

and target the trigger and then step into it and see if the conversation
runs again.

You probably overlooked the scripts which always are triggered when a
conversation ends or is aborted (select the rightmost tab in the condition
window of the conversation editor). It isn't used very much, and in most
cases it triggers the default file "nw_walk_wp", but here it is different:
q2b_endcon_iw. BTW: I verified it by changing the invisible object into a
visible one. It really vanishes when the conversation ends.

I tried it, but as far as I can see it isn't possible to target a trigger.
And besides that, the conversation can't start again because the speaker has
gone (see above).

OK, yes, I didn't check the conversation end action. I see what you're
saying now. Anyway, back to the original question, it's actually a
simple fix. All you need is a non-static placeable object to run the
conversation on.

Download this script:

http://www.cavesites.com/iw_start.zip

and extract it to your /override folder. Anywhere in HotU, use the

dm_runscript iw_start

console command (in Debug Mode) to spawn in a corpse that will run
Enserric's initial conversation. You can get as many Enserrics as you
like this way. :)

....Chapter 1. Forgot the qualifier. This won't work in other HotU
chapters as the conversation, scripts and weapons are specific to Chapter 1.
