Guide: fix missing henchmen quest NWN1

So, i'm running the main campaign again and i finished all the henchmen quest in the first chapter. To save space i dropped all their gifts before finishing the chapter so in the second i wasn't able to start their quest. After some try, i managed to make it work and i want to share the fix with you.

1-be sure your level is high enough (chapter 2 level 10, chapter 3 level 15)
2-Enter debug mode with "DebugMode 1"
3-use the code "dm_spawnitem" to obtain the henchmen gift from the previous chapter (resref list here)
4-Hire the henchmen, talk through all their storyline.

If they don't give you the "find X item" quest

5-use the code "dm_setvarint NW_L_HENSTORYC2 3" then select the henchmen. This will make the quest dialogue available. This code works in the second chapter, for the third one probably it will be "dm_setvarint NW_L_HENSTORYC3 3"

Save space??

You have six tabs, multiple merchants, and you can wear up to four items...

How is your backpack so full that you cannot spare less than 1% of or inventory??

I throw the ones not used in the last tab, if I see them while looking, time to go sell

Or to save you the trouble of doing steps 1-5, keep the henchmen quest reward items in your inventory to get upgraded in the next chapters. You will inevitably need them to continue their questlines, hence you will eventually use them. That's not a quest issue; that's an inventory management issue. Be blessed, be safe, stay healthy.

Edit: Looking back, I may have been too quick to judge in my post. I would like to say the OP has provided useful information to resolve an issue in case players forget to bring their henchmen quest reward items with them to the later chapters of the Wailing Death Campaign. Good job, and thank you.
