@ Fouinto: what u suggest would be great, but really i cannot translate it into my mod (technically i mean) and eventually it would take a whole age to implement, sorry.

@ resurrection: please, i'd need to know at what level and where u face such "high xp encounters". Apart some though creatures, BGSpawn doesn't give u the chance to obtain easy xp. At high levels u may face orc mages and priest, but not so many and definitely not so often. Anyway in a heavy modded game, u may want to install Ding0 XP fixer, it balances the xp u may get early in the game.

@ Aranthys: ideally u're right, anyway it would take really lot of time to re-create all the cre files and assign new scripts to them. At the end the user may skip to install SCS and/or SCS tactic like mods if he noticed it takes the level of the game too high. Those mods increase A LOT the difficulty of the game generally, so any cre u face with ANY mod are affected by those. Really here i cannot do much, eventually the user could skip to install AI mods.

A really great Mod, a simple idea but a great effect.

Only two things: Sometimes in the wilderness I stumble upon a losesome horse or cow... quite strange. And second: Bears are loners and don't hunt in packs.

Thanks for the feedback

Please may you be more specific about the possible issues above? I'd need to know what area u got a cow (horses are fine away) and your party composition (what levels and number of members) when u faced just a single bear and where (area).

Many thanks,

Hmm, I think it was an idea, not a bug report, so your reply should go like:

I'd like to know where you would put the cow and horse encounters to... and what kind of party composition you would like to face the single bear with?

But anyway, the single bears could be a bit, just a bit tougher than the multi spawn once...

Hmm, dunnow if it's just an idea, he was wondering about cows in the wilderness which should not happen (u can face cows just in the areas close to the towns/villages). And he mentioned just single bears which, really, at medium/high level is quite difficult to happen should not happen always.

If you've got too-high-level orc priests, just change their level. I'm guessing you reuse FSHORDE5, which is labelled in-game as a 12th level priest but actually only has 4th level spells. SCS takes the 12th-level label seriously, but if you just reset his level to (say) 7th, SCSII will leave him at that level.

Okay, that was a misunderstanding. I meant that bears, in real life, don't hunt in packs. So a pack of 9 bears just looks wrong in my eyes.

Oh i see the point now. Good point acutally. Jarno's suggestion could be fine here about those ... i can create new cre files and have different bears according to the levels. Another work for the next release

Hi,
Just a stupid question : if I install your altered spawn, then I suppose I shouldn?t the one of BGT tweak pack ?


ty

[Chevalier]

Yes, pick one or another.

[melkor_morgoth75]

Yes, pick one or another.

Correct. Please also note that if BGSpawn detect BGT Tweaks Spawn it skips the installation

If you have Kivan in your party wait until you have an encounter with a large group of bears then use his special charm animal ability Great way of dealing with whatever other spawns might exist on that map.

lol At least a good help from a ranger

In that map anyway there won't be particular spawns ... u can enjoy the use of "charm animal" ability in other maps, very useful indeed sometimes

I would love to see some black talon mages and clerics show up in the high level bandit spawns....

[melkor_morgoth75]

That's an idea ... but my guess is that they risk to be too challenging with SCS installed for example. Moreover Black Talon are bandits and as such no clerics and mages should be within their "normal" ranks, eventually there could be a mage or a cleric (general human). I could add that for some future release eventually, but i'd prefer (this is dream ... i don't think i'll have so many time) a sort of quest related to a random spawn with Black Talon

As promised, here is the list of problematic creatures I have encountered so far. I have also posted this information in the new "Realistic treasure mod" thread.
Is it more convenient if I update that thread only, if I find more?

AEMERHOB.CRE
GNLCAP01.CRE
GNLELI01.CRE
GNLFLI01.CRE
GNLWAR01.CRE
HOBCAP01.CRE[/codebox]

Edit:
[codebox][quote]6. Quite a lot of the Gnolls (gnlcap01.cre, gneli.cre, gnlfli01.cre, gnlwar01.cre, and Gnoll01.cre), summoned by the BGSpawn mod (though not included with this mod), are carrying up to lvl 8 magic scrolls. These creatures are assigned level 4 random treasure (rndtre04.itm) which apparently is a bit much.
(The same kind of problem with Hobcap01.cre and aemerhob.cre)[/quote]

[quote]Just to let u know that BGSpawn uses just gnlcap01.cre and Hobcap01.cre amongst the creatures u mentioned above,mm75[/quote]

This sounds strange to me as it wouldn't explain why I would run into groups of gnolls with all of these four in them.

Here are the cre i've been using for those humanoids:

- HOBGOB (Hobgoblin)
- HOBWAR01 (Hobgoblin Warrior)
- HOBARC01 (Hobgoblin Archer)
- HOBELITE (Hobgoblin Elite)
- HOBSHA01 (Hobgoblin Shaman)
- HOBCAP01 (Hobgoblin Captain)
- SHOBSL01 (Hobgoblin Slayer)*
- GNOLL (Gnoll)
- GNLELI01 (Gnoll ELite)
- GNLSLA01 (Gnoll Slasher)
- GNLVET01 (Gnoll Veteran)
- GNLCAP01 (Gnoll Captain)
- FLIND (Flind)

So some other mods should use the ones u mentioned. In which area u encountered them and where?
