Silly question: Is it possible to put a mod kit on a PC with ShadowKeeper.

Yes, it might be hard etc. but you can, just make a char that has the same exact kit, save exit and look at the Kit: Set Value with ShadowKeeper under the Characteristics tab, copy it and then insert it to the same spot on your already created char.
Now if you want all the new abilities from level 0, you need to give him 1 hit point(base, and current), set all the saving throws to 20, experience can stay, level 0, Thaco to 20, base AC 10 etc. and save.
Load the game, level him up, and go and take the 1 excess hit point away, with SK. Easy!!!

Thanks. Looks like everything is back to normal. (Started a temp save as an arcane avenger, to get the kit code. Removed the special abilities, added the kit abilities, etc... I was only at level three, so it didn't look like anything bad would happen from that). I thank you.

And I must say, I am amazed that Improved Battles has become an old enough mod to warrant an update. It was one of the few I ever helped with in the production process in any way, even if it was just as an "idea man". So, erebusant, I must thank you, as well, for "resurrecting" it.

There is an incompatibility between Revised Battles v6 and BPv177a. At first I thought it was the specific.ids bug found here, but after going though the steps to fix it and BP still could not patch JAEL01.CRE I started looking at the JAEL01.CRE file. I moved the JAEL01.CRE from \RevisedBattles\backup\27 into the override folder and was then able to install BP. I am not saying this a Bug with Revised Battles seeing that BP is an older mod and maybe it should be fixed on BP's end. erebusant if you get a chance could you look into seeing just where/what the conflict is and how best to fix it?

I uploaded a new .rar archive with v6.1 that has Nythrun's code in the .tp2 to fix the .cre ordering. Try to download again and re-install.

[Chevalier]

Will do a clean install and test.

[Chevalier]

My new Install just went up in flames, it will be a few days/Week before I get to installing BPv177a. When I get there I will let you know.

A crash is probable due to this in the b#ar0406.BAF in the knights\BAF folder.

ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[430.350],14))
	ActionOverride(Player2,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[380.300],14))
	ActionOverride(Player3,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[330.350],14))
	ActionOverride(Player4,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[430.250],14))
	ActionOverride(Player5,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[280.400],14))
	ActionOverride(Player6,LeaveAreaLUA("ARKDR1","",[480.200],14))

"ARKDR1" area should be "B#AREA01" as that is in the area folder. Or renaming the said area file to ARKDR1.ARE instead of B#AREA01 and then modifying that in the tp2. I think the BAF edit is the easier for a quick installation.

Updated for next release. Good catch.

A french player wants to know if it works with BGT?

I have it installed with a BGT Mega with no installation issues. It should be fine. You can see what i'm running with my current WeiDU log.

An idea i have....

Is there a simple way to have the arcane avenger IN PLACE of the Wizardslayer ?

Or can i look for it and send the results to you ?

[erebusant]

No one else has answered so here's what I know.

I want to install the following components from Revised Battles: <----6th
Knights of Dark Renown {Moonfruit}
Improved Chromatic Demon (needs ToB) {Moonfruit}
Improved Kiser Jhaeri (needs ToB) {Moonfruit}
Improved Trademeet Crypt {Tyrus}
Improved Shade Lord {Tyrus}
Improved Cohrvale, Bregg & Alamas {Moonfruit}
Improved Master Brain {Moonfruit}
Improved Mad Cleric {Moonfruit}
Improved Mencar Pebblecrusher {Moonfruit}
Improved Wraith Sarevok {Moonfruit}

The following is a list of mods that I will install together with Revised Battles. I need some advice on the install order. As most of them are AI enchancing mods, I wonder whether there are compatibility issues or not.

G3 fixpack <---2nd

Ascension <---- 1st unless you've modified it so it doesn't overwrite.

Oversight: <----5th
Tougher Sendai

Spell revisions v2 (most components except demon summoning spells) <----3rd

Slightly improved Ilyich <---4th

Tactics: <---7th
Kensai Ryu's Random Wilderness Encounters
Smarter Dragons
Mike Barnes' Improved North Forest
Kensai Ryu's Improved Crypt King
Mike Barnes' Improved Small Teeth Pass (requires ToB)
Tougher Demons

Tower of Deception <---8th

Simding0's questpack <----9th if you're going to install the AI, otherwise anywhere after G3 Fixpack.


Thank you!

[RestInPeace]

Thank you, erebusant!
I have a bit more questions about Ascension:

If you install Ascension before G3 Fixpack, the slayer change dialogue will be overwriten by fixpack, then you cannot change into ravager form.

"unless you've modified it so it doesn't overwrite" - May I ask how to do that? Will that be diffcult? I know nothing about modding
These are what I've just found:

I still cannot find a way to fix its Protection From Magic Energy icon bug.

Hi

One of the items, Robe of Endurance (B#Robe02) has no price set.

Hi

Thanks for the heads up. I've set the unsellable box now.

Erm, is that the best way to solve this problem? And if I know it right, the robe can't be sold either way even without the box... it's just that the mod should give the player the ability to sell the item at some price, if it's not a critical key item. DeusEx's own words...

[DeusEx]

Just like Jarno said, the item is not quest relevant it just needs a price so it can be sold .
