I've installed lots of MODs and they work fine. But I've got one bug that replaces inventory item icon assignment between normal 'long bow' and 'composite bow'.

It's really funny however, I wanna fix it. Nonetheless It doesn't affect on the game play.

My installed MODs are below

So, this duplicated component would cause errors on my game? And this is the cause of inventory icon assign replacement between 'long bow' and 'composite bow'?

No, Valhorn has no effect on the problem that you are having. I dont know why you are having that problem either.

I have another question.

When enemy priest casted chant to his party, my party also got its beneficial effect, not harmful. I recognized this on record page's saving throw section.

This problem caused by what? Of course, my installed MODs and installation order are the same.

I believe that's on the Fixpack items to fix list.

I've tried to find this problem? in fixpack document, but I can't find it. I've read also Fixpack Core Document, but I cannot find it also. Where I can find document about this? If it relied by fixpack, it was intended by the author?

[Joakim]

I belive that this is already part of the Big Picture.

I opened Setup-BPv177.tp2 and found where are the cre files of Horn of Valhalla. But I only found itm files, Valhalla's creature files weren't there. Does BP really contain ValHorn?

Or is this part of Setup-BPv177.tp2 would be adding ValHorn?

Of course, my big concerns are the problem of chant and replacing inventory item icons between 'longbow' and 'compositebow'

[seanas]

BP doesn't include the improved Horns of Valhalla; and neither BP nor the ValHorn are causing the long bow/ composite long bow issues you are experiencing. as to what is causing that issue, i have no idea, as i've never heard of it happening before. is it is maybe this:

~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #110 // Icon Improvements

or perhaps funky interaction between these two?

~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #110 // Icon Improvements
~SETUP-UB.TP2~ #0 #16 // Corrected BAMs and Scripts

i really am just guessing tho...

as for chant - yes, it's a limitation/ failing of the game engine. the BG2 Fixpack crew are working on a fix - there's a discussion of it here - but i'm not sure if this has been implemented. if it has been implemented - then, err, it hasn't been fully fixed yet.

[Joakim]

I think

~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #110 // Icon Improvements

is not the reason of replacing icons problem because When I installed just Baldurdash and BG2 Tweaks, this problem is not occured.

Hmm... maybe Icon Improvements and Corrected BAMs and Scripts make this concern.

UB's Corrected BAMs and Scripts features tp2 code is like that

and I don't think it touches longbow or compositebow.

And about chant... If I put in this code to fixpack's tp2 file, this problem would be solved?

I hope to get your answer.

[Joakim]

I've replaced fixpack tp2 file's chant fix section to above code to fix chant problem, but I cannot fix it.

I also downloaded spell file from the link that seanas was mentioned, but I don't know how to use it.

How to fix this problem?

BP doesn't include the improved Horns of Valhalla

Horred himself has answered me one year ago in another way. Look here:

http://www.shsforums...p...19044&st=20

So now I wonder: is or not Improved Horns of Valhalla included in BP ?

Thanks!
