i've got a bunch of fixes that are worth putting out, so a version 5 of the s_and_h patch will be coming out within the next week.

current fixes include:

• Beastmaster-as-Elder-Orb (here).
  
• Shar-teel's armour (here).
  
• AR5508 crash (here)
  
• the game-stopping bug in spellhold caused by lowering the difficulty to avoid losing yr stuff fixed.

bugfixes from previous versions:

• Dakkon's streaming blade fix corrected
  
• Simyaz' allies not turning hostile fix corrected - using the 3.13 fix
  
• AR 5014 (Kiser Jhaeri's basement crash) fix corrected - also using the 3.13 fix...

things that might get fixed if i get round to them in the next week:

• slum-dwellers/saradush defenders turning hostile cos of an excess of Shout (here and here).
  
• Sime's veter figurine. again. (here).
  
• the non-hostile Sahaugin priestess (here).

things which aren't going to be fixed in this version (or at least, not by me!)

• Sime's resurrection stutterbug (also here) - i've tried and tried, but it's beyond my ken why it happens, let alone how to fix it.
  
• a whole bunch of BGT bugs Ascension64 has identified. i do want to install BP-BGT-NEJ-etc, and then i'll be able to fix these bugs as well, it just won't be on my current laptop...

[Zacrias]

um, is there still the MR issue with some of the spells?

Dakkon's streaming blade fix corrected

No problem seanas, I'll continue to support the community with 'quick fixes' as much as I can (until my 500kb limit is out)

it definitely will be fixed in the next version of the s_and_h patch - i've even tested it . the fix in the current (v4) patch only half-works: NPCs are no longer broken if they use it, but it doesnt upgrade properly (if at all).

[horred the plague]

Seanas--just a thought on the sime(/veter) issues:

I noticed that the global variable 'BPVETER' appears as 'BPVETER' and 'BPVeter'. If I remember correctly, the engine is case sensitive. This could also be the source of other veter issues as well. One of these checks refers to sime being dead. The only scripts I found this variable in were SIME and VETER. I changed them on my install (all) to 'BPVETER'. Just a theory; I'm nowhere near to this point of the game, or I'd test it out.

EDIT: I also have the sahuagin files fixed. SAHRAMB1 thru 5--3 is the priestess, but I didn't like the script assignment on any of them, actually...

Tell me where to send the files, either here or in a PM, so we can coordinate efforts.

Globals aren't case sensitive. I'm thinking it's those variables missing the BP prefix that are the culprits.

If it's variable missing that prefix, it's either a big oversight on my part, or not my variables. I suspect the latter...if that indeed is the problem. Check AR0086.bcs for details...

NI is giving me a lot of problems, and DLTCEP search function leaves a lot to be desired, to put it nicely.

Think I solved the saradush enemy problem too---bioware shout scripts vs. my shouts=the culprit. RALLY_TO_ME_82 to be specific, in GRPSHT01 and SHOUT. Removed these scripts from: sarman03, sargrd01 & 02, and sarmag01.

Haven't tested it yet, but I'm 95% sure on it.

EDIT: I'm currently fixing the TDD wizard spells; the rest will follow :thumb:

I want to report a "bug" On all of the people making weidu packs. :glare:
Your lack of spaces in 2DA's and IDS's takes all of the beauty out of ruleset editting.

*goes back to his spacebar*

[Sir BillyBob]

It there a certain rule on how Weidu adds in the 2DA data? I have tried to add data with the right number of spaces but it always comes out looking off. I have even aligned everything in NI, copied and pasted it into a TP2 file and still get weird results (although sometimes closer aligned). BTW, did CB use Tabs in some of his 2DA adds? The MasterAREA and PDIALOG in one of my games looks like a tab was used instead of spaces. Is that even possible? I used Wordpad to look at it instead of NI and saw this.

[AnnabelleRose]

You guys rawk.

[hlidskialf]

Weidu now just uses single spacing for adding to text files. It was engineered this way by request because it takes 1/10th the time to do mass text replacements. (Like in AoE for example.) It was a tradeoff of efficiency vs cosmetics.

So the solution would be for someone to make brand new 2DA files with clean straight columns and all the possible NPCs, items, kits, or whatever. Right?

It would be compatible and current with all possible mods for at least 5 minutes.

Yes, like I did when bp-bgt was first released, and did last night on my own pc. So far, until I install NTothSC, it is still compatible.

[Yazzuie]

Am I correct in assuming that the Auto-Install will NOT load this patch?

Would you believe that I'm actually getting around to updating the BP Install Guide? Heck, I'm even correcting that little type-o in the Auto-Install section (oops, sorry 'bout that). Just as soon as this patch is out and I can go through the loading procedure, I'll post the new Guide.

[seanas]

you are correct, yes: the auto-installer does not install the s_and_h patch.
