It's a problem between BG2 Fixpack and BP.

really? can you tell me where, so i can fix it for the next release?

If we take KPTROL03 as example, Fixpack is doing this:


// new troll scripts to transform to dead versions at low HP
COPY_EXISTING ~troll01.bcs~ ~override/drshnl02.bcs~
~troll01.bcs~ ~override/eletro03.bcs~

That last bit is undone by BP's reshuffling of this CRE:

COPY_EXISTING ~KPTROL03.CRE~ ~override~
WRITE_SHORT 0x24 ~88~ // CurrHP (was 70)
WRITE_SHORT 0x26 ~88~ // MaxHP (was 70)
WRITE_BYTE 0x234 ~8~ // HighestLevelPrimary (was 6)
WRITE_BYTE 0x235 ~1~ // HighestLevelSecond (was 30)
WRITE_BYTE 0x239 ~100~ // StrBon (was 0)
WRITE_ASCII 0x248 ~KPTROL03~ #8 // Override (was NONE)
WRITE_ASCII 0x250 ~BPPRIE8A~ #8 // Class (was KPTROL03)

Now that I've posted it, BG2 Fixpack isn't ideal either...

This line

~kptrol03.cre~ ~override/kptrol13.cre~

should be

~kptrol03.cre~ ~override/kptrol23.cre~

otherwise the troll simply disappears instead of falling down.

cool. cool. looks like i've got some find/replace-ing to do.
