Hello I know SHS is the only place to post for NeJ2-BP for help. I am playing this combo NeJ2v 42b +602/T2-BP609/TDD 1.11/SoS1.11 +BP and came across 2 items with special abilities that always crash game for me. Not equipping them mind you, but using their special powers.
Here they are
Completed Ring of Might DERING5.ITM Crashes flawlessly on Summon Aerial Servant
Ring of Might (don't know which level) DERING3.ITM FireShield does not cast

Sebastian's Dagger DAGSEB.ITM has Dispel Magic 3x per day. Sometimes it crashed in my tests or would not work at all. Besides being a +4 weapon(Choice! ) it is good for a mage/class or multiclass. Another peculiar thing in the description is
+1 4st level mage spell
+1 5nd level mage spell
+1 6rd level mage spell
which is obviously a typo but does not give the extra spells.
Can I edit these in Near Infinity or is that going to eternally muck up my dialog.tlk. Maybe some one has an edited file for these two GROOVY items
Thank you all for your time,
Hoppy

Hi, Fixed descriptive text for DAGSEB.ITM
Now reads
+1 4th level mage spell
+1 5th level mage spell
+1 6th level mage spell
It may have given me the xtra level spells but I was looking at 123, not 456 levels. Anyway that part works and dialog.tlk was backed up before so in case this ends up being a disaster, I can still continue my epic.
As far as the spell casting from the dagger, in the Item Ability (Near Infinity) under effects it says cast at level 15. This would make sense if it is the level of the mage so I have to edit in Shadow keeper to bring mage to that level and test. If that's the case no real problem or bug, just have to wait.
No such luck on the ring though

Hoppy, get the ring items (all DERINGs) and the dagger item from the latest version (6.9.1). Just move them to your override. It will surely mess the description text (which is irrelevant for any game effects), but the text you can easily fix with WeiDU SET_STRING command or with DLTCEP's TLK Editor. Don't use NI for fixing TLK strings, and don't use SK for advancing levels of your CHAR.

Thanks Vlad! Got the files from 691. I already used NI and messed my dialog.tlk on everything else. But, before I used it I made a backup of my mega-mod dialog.tlk!!! AH-HAH! Game saved and it is off to spellhold with a slight detour to Kara-Tura. New party ideas(PC, Valygar, Sime, Kachiko, Yoshimo, Minsc) Maybe I will be able to beat those bastards without cheating.....much. Also, I need to try the Dynaheir change part again. Didn't work last run through. Well, the change over worked but Dynaheir was lying there like sleeping and no one could talk to her.
Next time I will just play NeJ(691) with TS(611) (their compatible versions). Got to check out what is compatible again with those two.
Thanks again Vlad for two awesome mods and King Diamond and Horred the Plague, who I think is not here anymore, for adapting them to Big Picture.
Happy playing all,
Hoppy
