Some minor but persistant bugs that I encountered till now in my megainstall-Rot bug list. (Rot along with BP 1.77 installed though...)

:
1.Rot Warrior Arena south pit bug : all the party becomes unselectable thus the warrior in arena can do nothing but sit and die. Also the ranged-pcs of the party attack the enemy in the arena through AI scripts, though they shouldn't.(Disabling AI fixes it).A minor fix to make the warrior selectable for the fight was to delete code lines with "unselectable" from all the area bcs script.

2. After the talavan castle quest ( I got the Olmar's castle as a reward) the "Guardians" in the whole Olmar's castle got their name "changed" and screwed up and they are named "You leave the torch as it is for now" instead of "guardians".

3. The way both arena fights are coded, either mage arena fights or warrior arena fights, it is "forbidden" for ANY NON-bioware non-rot npc char to participate in the arenas. This means that ONLY the main char and the bioware npcs are able to do arena fights... Npcs from ALL mods ( except the Rot ones) are just unlucky Wish it could be fixed some day by changing the bcs code.

4.Drizzt boots grant permanent haste/attacks (imbalances/cheesy) and his 2weaponstyle stars are 5 instead of 3 which is useless.

5.Yvonne the arena-mage has no solutions at all for invisibility like spells used by the arena player.She just sits and waits for many rounds.

6.Cadderly cutscene bug. Seen the fix in some threads. Some times it works, some times it doesn't as it seems.

Thats all for now.

The boots thing, if correct, doesn't seem to help Drizzt in my game. With a 20 Dex, he still misses almost as much as he hits.

The stars thing I think is by design. Being the best darn dual-weapon scimitar slinger in the west, he's supposed to have 5 stars. But remember when he and Wulfgar first appear in Waukeen's Promenade, he says that he feels weaker... So, no 5-star advantage. My guess, anyway.

I wasn't clear. The boots grant him extra 1/2 attacks per round on the beginning. On higher levels this can reach as much as 1 extra attack per round. U can easily check that's its the same as the haste spell if u try and cast haste on the party. As u will see he will get no extra attacks or something like that. What do u mean he still misses a lot? He is low level of course he misses! Thac0 has nothing to do with haste. Thaco has to do with levels and strength. What has dexterity got to do with anything???Dexterity is pure armor class for him nothing else.

I never said that he does "earn" anything by having 5 stars. He earns completely nothing. It's the same as having 3 stars which is the max. So why bother and make it 5? It's easier to bug the game with 5 stars then complying to the game rules and just having 3.

Hey Radagast, you haven't had your coffee and cigarette yet? Calm down.

Yeah, I was wrong about the Dex thing. Should have said he still gets hit a lot.
Those boots do say "Drizzt's Boots", so...
Still, the extra attacks don't seem to really give any help to him, at least in my game.

Yes, he has earned 5stars. Hello, read my statement again! Doesn't matter if he can only use 3 stars in the game -- in "real life" he's a 5-star hero.

Sorry not your fault kinda pissed that we lost from Spain for so few points in Eurobasket (we could have been to the finals ) ^^

As for the extra attacks they do make a huge difference believe me cause he is practically the strongest warrior in the game when he gets strength from a belt (cause he also has insane ac) and with the number of attacks it's just nuts. ( You'll see it perhaps in higher levels.

A bug is a bug that's what I meant nothing more. It's still a mistake so... I agree that in "reallife" he deserves 5 stars in every single weapon in the game but that has nothing to do with "drizzt" in bg2

Sry anyway Azazello

The 5 stars in two-handed weapon fighting eliminate all penalties on the left hand (if you'd have 3 stars, you'd have a -4 penalty to THAC0).

Actually, if you have 3 stars you have a -2 penalty to the off-hand.

Here's where I noticed a problem in my game. I thought Drizzt's Thac0 was way too high for having grand mastery and full two weapon fighting. The 5 stars in two weapon fighting wasn't reducing the penalty, it was setting the penalties at 0 star levels (-4 and -8).

When I edited his two weapon fighting proficiency down to 3 using SK his penalties then became the appropriate 0 and -2.

Before edit (5 in two weapon, using 2 normal scimitars)
Base Thac0 8
Mainhand 12
Offhand 16

After edit (3 in two weapon, using 2 normal scimitars)
Base Thac0 8
Mainhand 8
Offhand 10

hi to all

I found this mod some time ago and i thing it's amazing but i am a litle disappointed about Drizzit, he heve a serios bug .This is not Drizzit "the original" it's a fake one,he atacks like a drogy but dont hit anything, the 5 star on the "two weapon style" dosn't give him enny bonuses, absolute nothing. i make a small modification with the ShadowKeeper,here is mai results:

drizzt level 12 (normal scimitars,)
5 star :
main hand thaco 9
off hand thaco 13
weapon style bonuses: nothing

3 star :
main hand thaco 5
off hand thaco 7
weapon style bonuses:
main hand thaco 0
off hand thaco -2


a 4 star slot on the two weapon style bonuses wil looke like this:
main hand thaco -2
off hand thaco -0

and a 5 star slot on the two weapon style bonuses wil luk like this:
main hand thaco -4
off hand thaco -2



i have try to fix this problem with NearInfinity but in vain, this problem is byond my power and a realy want to play with the 5 star
Enny idea ?


ps:sory for my english

Wow aurabral, you really want to make Drizzt ridiculous don't you?

The easiest way to do what you want to do is to leave his Two Weapon Fighting at 3, and lower his Thac0 by 4 in Shadowkeeper. You may need to redo it every time he levels up though. I can't remember if a character's base Thac0 resets itself.

[aurabral]

Wow aurabral, you really want to make Drizzt ridiculous don't you?

like i said before, wen i lay eyes on this mod i was very enthusiastic "waw drizzt in my party" but then all i see was some pathetic madman.I dont want to make Drizzt ridiculous i want him to be "real"

"You may need to redo it every time he levels up"

from what you tell me i believe this is not "the easiest way" after all, also in my game i made a new kit,some barbarian ho also can achieve the 5 star,so figure it out, i need to resolve this drawback straight and right.

Try comparing the RoT Drizzt.cre to the Drizzt.cre in DrizztSaga. See what the differences are.

Has there came up any fix for the arena? Would be fun to participate sometime and acctually being able to control my character..

You will run into that "Blue Circle" thing a lot in RoT. Here is some help:
Arena
Look at "Radagast fixed it here" post in the bug thread
Drizzt final fight with Entreri

It sounds a lot more complicated than it is and you will need Near Infinity here:

Good Luck!

I want to play with my main character, so that didn't help

great that there's a fix that's not too hard for a noob like me regarding the drizzt/entreri fight!

But, what will I need near infinity for? : o

Near Infinity is needed to edit the game files that are causing the issue
Action Override(MakePlayerUnselectable) in the arena and final fight.
Those files are BCS and can be found using Near Infinity, changed and recompiled to change the scripting of the area in question.
Azazello also has a brilliant BCS fix for the Cadderly hanging cut scene which you may need and is in this very thread started by erebusant that we are conversing in right now.

Re:Arena-Time consuming but worth it to go through ALL OF RA4300.BCS and delete any of the lines(usually 6 in a row) that say make player unselectable. When you do the fight, just turn off party AI so your party members don't send magic missiles from the crowd. and whomever you selected to fight will be in the gladiator ring (Fighter classes only). The same process although shorter may have to be done for RA4301 BCS for the mage competition , too. It is better to load a save before you went to that arena area the "first" time when editing the BCS. In other words it should be still blue in the worldmap.

In all of the areas in question, if you do not do the BCS editing then you get never ending cutscenes, loss of control and all sorts of "not so fun" things
