I'm not very fond of being addressed in a condescending manner on my own forum, especially since I know what I'm talking about and only want to help.

I'd buy you several rounds of beer if I could but I can't just 'coz I'm too far away... Of course I didn't want to offend you. Sorry...
And plz notice that I know what I'm talking about too... (once again - numerous smiles there)

I've experienced some troubles with omitting \override\ usage for some types of resources so I've left those several COPY's there to be absolutely sure that that won't happen somewhere else at some specific conditions. It's not a big deal to wait some extra minutes during the installation.

But you're right about oggdec - that will add some reliability....

erm, where's the option to skip the chores (pretty boring) , i don't see anything which gives me an option when i start.

During the chores :
some weird thing :
my character (monk) : no clue if it's related bz i'm monk (str 18 dex 18 con 17 int 12 wis 14 cha 18, i know pretty high dices rolls, no cheat)
can't learn anything from Hull (the npc which trains fighter ability)
Day 2
Hardiness = no
tracking = no (well that's seem logicical, more reserved to archer / stalker ...)
Day 4
can't learn either off. or defensive spin
in fact i killed him while he tried to teach me Offensive Spin ability (then u are stuck if u kill him, so i tried Def Spin, but of course nothing)

others rewards seems correct :
i learnt dispel magic (couldn't learn true sight, prolly not enough Int : 12 only) , day 1
- Alchemy, day 3
- Boon of Lathander, day 5

btw given defensive or offensive spin when u start in Irenicus Dungeon it seems a bit too good to me

The chores can be fairly more improved , imo : simply reduce ALOT the timer for the cows & the scribes (it's still silly actually )

CTB Fastforward is a pinned topic in the CtB forum.

[Silver Raven]

with the v.1.6 ?

i know it's a pinned topic , but i doubt it works for the last version

[ronin]

It works, it will give you an error during the install but it still works fine, I used it twice so far.

[Silver Raven]

i just realized off / def spins are "Blade" abilities

although u can kill the npc if u choose off spin , even if u can't learn it.

anyone else had issues downloading it? mine always stops somewhere between 60-90 on the ftp client and if I dl it using firefox it doesnt finish and becomes corrupted. Just gotta keep trying I guess.

[Shed]

Hey KD, If I install SOS before CtB (without TDD) I get the following error during the CTB install:

[CtB/scripts/ctb/CBBDFHJD.baf] parsed

[CtB/scripts/ctb/CBBDFHJE.baf] PARSE ERROR at line 211 column 63-63
Near Text: )

[CtB/scripts/ctb/CBBDFHJE.baf] parsed
[CtB/english/CBBDHELP.TRA] parsed
[CtB/english/CBBDHELP.TRA] has 15 translation strings


I looked in the SOS .tp2 and it says this:

COPY_EXISTING ~SPELL.IDS~ ~override~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~2302 WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC~ ~2302 WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~2326 WIZARD_TRUE_DISPEL_MAGIC~ ~2326 WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC~

I think, correct me if I am wrong, that I need to change the CBBDFHJE.baf to read WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC, I checked my spell.ids and there is no reference for WIZARD_TRUE......

***waits for KD to cuss him out***

So, CtB-TDD fix is suitable there too then...

Hey KD, the items in CtB are all messed up, have you looked at them with NI? They need to be gone thru and descriptions added or updated, global effects added for some that are supposed to have some but dont. Effects added for some that are supposed to have some and dont. I know your busy, so If you want I can look thru them and fix them and submit them to you for approval and implementation into the mod.

Just checked all CB... items. Found 3 with messed names:
CBOVRSPR.ITM
CBWT7B20.ITM
CBWT7C20.ITM
And if we are talking about bugs...
There's smth about random treasures, check please, sometimes it is an empty non-removable item.
AR3615 - graphics problem, wrong sprite for burning fire.
AR3637 - wrong text on trying to lockpick invisible door.
AR3675 - CTD, possibly because of missing ambient.
Also, AR3675 is unreachable, even after taking the quest and appearing on the worldmap.

Well, that's just plain silly! Looks like I didn't clean up the .tp2 from the original. (Originally it was just in my "custom tweaks" modpack.) Fixed for v1.1.

For avoiding the error with check the bodies FF
replace the first line in the tp2 file
with
BACKUP ~CtB_FF/backup~

shouldn't get no problem for installing / unstalling

hlid beat me

I was talking about fixing items that are broken in CtB. I would like to help.

[ScuD]

ronin, item descriptions are OK.
Are you referring to some item abilities missing?
