Anyway as it already overwrites with faulty thac0.2da it's better to have a fixed one or the sorcerer/monk thac0 will be messed up for anyone installing The Vault.

+1

The fixpack cre YSMAGE01 only moves the darts from weapon slot to quiver, which is wrong, while they are fine in the original mod

Looking at the fixpack doc (yes, it's there ) that fix seems to come from here and is supposed to fix exactly what you said

On a related note, the fixpack doc (_BWP fixes.txt) is now extremely outdated - it's probably the oldest file in the BWPFixpack

Is it in the scope of this fixpack to fix things that are not broken but more immersion-breaking? I'm thinking of the Baldurdash component Improved Copper Coronet : The CCGUARD[x] files shipped with it give a huge amount of experience (27k and 18k). How about toning the xp values down to like 1/2 or 1/3 (so that combined with DEFJAM they still give a decent amount because they are quite deadly) ?

This is exactly why the BP-Balancer was made - someone should pick it up, call it the BWP Balancer and start immersifying whatever blegh you find

Meanwhile I'm taking a look at 10th's posts in that Vault thread and tried to get some CREs and ITMs fixed The best solution though would be to make the mod use creatures from stock BGII (and not use custom BGI versions with gimped stats )

Yes that's what I'm gonna do No more easily punchable Ogrillon based Stone Golems... get ready to use all of your omgwtfbbqsaucepwn imba itamz on some REAL SCS enhanced Stone Golems

Also, it's really awesome to see someone else compiling stuff for a change now! Cheers man

The fix for YAGA05 is needed, as well as the .baf patch. But someone slipped in a broken YSMAGE01 to replace the perfectly fine one

[Beleg33]

The Vault installation already takes care of compatibility with TDD/RoT if they are installed :

ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~data/tdd-rule.bif~ THEN BEGIN
  ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~data/rot-rule.bif~ THEN BEGIN
COPY  ~vault/2da~ ~override~ // 2DA folder, rules 50 pack (These are OK for BGT)
  END
END

So the fixed thac0.2da replacement should be fine.

Nice thanks! Too bad I had another fix for CtB... next time (Lollorian is getting inside me with his emotes and smileys!)

How do I report issues with TS 7.04 install without paying BWL?... Or I'll just keep them here.

Various item fixes for The Vault (BGT), mainly adding proficiency types and fixing some effects; included txt file of changes made.

 Vault_profs_effects_enchants_items_fixes.7z   2.48K   227 downloads


Might be worth updating setup.tra for proficiencies changes, also elemental ammo in ITM1 folder (it's just there to increase stacks, maybe deprecate through fixpack patch?) use BG1 values, various items mods may change them down the road though.

EDIT : Forgot to include change to HAMMLAT enchantment level (by Lollorian), applied it to all enchanted weapons.


Leonardo : Is there a particular reason the BP-Balancer fix wasn't included? Or you just missed it? Perhaps a version update is in the works?

[Beleg33]

With your help on updating the CREs to BG2/BGT standard Like I'm wondering now if the Vault vampires use BG2 Level drain effect or BG1 Reduce XP/reduce level effects on their weapon items~ (EDIT : confirmed, JC_VAM1.ITM does that)

I'll have a look at that Vampire Sword summon ability and the script/dialogue of that summoned creature. (EDIT : will probably have to rename that sword because it already exists in BG2, so it overwrites it, then is overwritten by IR. Else the special abilities from the vault are lost. Then I need to find out where you obtain it/where it is used in BGT and update it all...)

PS : And probably english/french TRA files update to item descriptions proficiencies.

BGTNEJ2 : I believe BGTComp part is no longer needed with how BGT handles Imoen nowadays.

TS v7.04 : There's some minsc.bcs that gets copied from the fixpack/_override folder just before it installs. That script adds some NEJ(2?) stuff like !Global("VP_InHalruaa","GLOBAL",1) checks whereas TS when it installs and doesn't detect NEJ2 installed uses this

COPY_EXISTING ~Minsc.bcs~ ~override/Minsc.bcs~
REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK ~TS/mess/noNeJ/o1Minsc.bcs~ ~TS/mess/noNeJ/n1Minsc.bcs~
REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK ~TS/mess/noNeJ/o2Minsc.bcs~ ~TS/mess/noNeJ/n2Minsc.bcs~
REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK ~TS/mess/noNeJ/o3Minsc.bcs~ ~TS/mess/noNeJ/n3Minsc.bcs~

that fails everytime. It also adds NEJ2 Boo familiar stuff blocks (the fixpack minsc.bcs replacement) even if it is not installed wether from NEJ2 itself or the BGTNEJ2 counterpart


Some of the REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK for baldur.bcs fail everytime as well

Spoiler

WARNING: cannot find block matching [TS/mess/noNeJ/o3Baldur.bcs]
WARNING: cannot find block matching [TS/mess/noNeJ/o6Baldur.bcs]

but I can't pinpoint the cause yet. I know the blocks are modified with chapter checks already by another mod, just have to find which with some change-logging and I'll report findings

This is all stuff that should prevent messengers spawning while doing TS quest on island but the current fixpack messes minsc script up if NEJ2 not installed. A compatibility fix is probably required for the baldur.bcs part though, I suspect bg2fixpack of adding the chapter checks.

More details on the above post about TS's modifications to baldur.bcs :

- Brus' spawn (o3baldur > n3baldur), TS looks to replace this block to add a !Global("VP_OnIsland","GLOBAL",1) check at the top :

Spoiler

IF
!Exists("BRUS")
!Exists("BRUS3")
Global("SpawnBrus","GLOBAL",1)
GlobalTimerExpired("MakeBrusWait","GLOBAL")
Global("ImTooSexyForThisBrus","GLOBAL",0)
AreaType(OUTDOOR)
Global("WorkingForAran","GLOBAL",0)
Global("WorkingForBodhi","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ClearAllActions()
CreateCreatureObjectOffScreen("BRUS3",Player1,0,0,0) // Brus
ActionOverride("brus3",StartDialogueNoSet(Player1))
END

but BG2Fixpack Core Fixes has already changed that block in many ways :

Spoiler

IF
!Exists("BRUS")
!Exists("BRUS3")
Global("SpawnBrus","GLOBAL",1)
Global("CHAPTER","GLOBAL",2)
!AreaCheck("AR0800")
!AreaCheck("AR2000")
CombatCounter(0)
GlobalTimerExpired("MakeBrusWait","GLOBAL")
Global("ImTooSexyForThisBrus","GLOBAL",0)
AreaType(OUTDOOR)
Global("WorkingForAran","GLOBAL",0)
Global("WorkingForBodhi","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ClearAllActions()
CreateCreatureObjectOffScreen("BRUS3",Player1,0,0,0) // Brus
SetGlobal("SPAWNBRUS","GLOBAL",2)
ActionOverride("brus3",StartDialogueNoSet(Player1))
END

- Thief Guild payment failure (o6baldur > n6baldur), TS looks for this :

Spoiler

IF
GlobalTimerExpired("JosterPaid","GLOBAL")
Global("JosterLeave","GLOBAL",2)
Global("PGFailed","GLOBAL",0)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",4)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",7)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("PGFailed","GLOBAL",1)
DisplayStringHead(Player1,62082) // Renal will no longer wait for his due... you have lost your guild.
END

but BG2Fixpack Beta Core Fixes changes that block to (subtle change really, no idea why that was changed, gonna have to check the beta core fixes docs) :

Spoiler

IF
GlobalTimerExpired("JosterPaid","GLOBAL")
!Global("JosterLeave","GLOBAL",1)
Global("PGFailed","GLOBAL",0)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",4)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)
!Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",7)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("PGFailed","GLOBAL",1)
DisplayStringHead(Player1,62082) // Renal will no longer wait for his due...you have lost your guild.
END

So in both cases it fails to add the check for VP_OnIsland global


Beta Core Fixes change apparently to prevent some abuse :

Stronghold Errors and Exploits

The stronghold quests were put under the microscope, and several issues were addressed:

• Five Flagons Playhouse: The player could continue to earn income from the theater after selling it to Higgold. Meck would also sometimes fail to spawn after the conclusion of the stronghold quests and Jenna would move to the wrong spot after some events. Finally, the portal to the planar prison could be left open under some circumstances.
  
• Temple of Helm: If the player was stripped of the Helm temple, the party was still able to rest there due to a bad variable scope.
  
• Fighter
  
• Thieves' Guild: There were a number of ways the player could avoid paying guild dues to Renal Bloodscalp. The floating text above the PC's head could also be unnecessarily repeated.
  
• de'Arnise Keep: The forge used to create the Flail of Ages is supposed to work after the player has obtained the stronghold, but it was not due to variable scope issues in the script.
  
• Noble Order of the Radiant Heart: Under certain outcomes, Tyrianna would never leave at the conclusion of her quest. Killing the squatters in the Baron Metrich would erroneously cause the townspeople to go hostile.

Edwin Romance compatibility issue with TS (v7.04) :

IRv3 b1.13 out (17/06/2012)
Fix: here (reupped here with duped files removed )

SRv3.1 hotfixes too (16/06/2012)
Fix: here (reupped here for... I have no clue )

Some items from NeJ v6.94 had wrong effect indices that caused WeiDU to bork when it tried to cycle through the effects with a loop - the items seem to work perfectly fine either way though... and look fine in NearInfinity and stuff But the attachment might prevent WeiDU from going salsa over some future global mod patch or whatever

And finally... something I've been chipping away at for a while ever since this exploit got reported A simple algorithm to find the culprits:

Spoiler

- If DROPPABLE
--- If Current and Max HP bonus present and type 0 (Increment)
----- set Current to negative of Max HP increase
--- If ONLY Max HP bonus present
----- If type 0 (Increment) AND Value > 0, set to type 3
----- If type 2 (Set %) AND Value > 100, set to type 5
--- If ONLY Current HP bonus present AND item type != 9 (potion) OR 11 (scroll)
----- set opcode to 18 (Max HP bonus) and type 3 OR 5 as above

And the mods affected:

Nice fix for that Maximum HP stuff that's been an exploit all this time when a simple type 3 was enough a fix. And yeh The Vault fixes might as well be deprecated when my update is released and included in BWP

[Beleg33]

Another REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK compatibility quirk with Longer Road, changing stuff in AR6005.BCS fails if ToB fixes from Baldurdash aren't installed.

Is there a WeiDU function to add a single trigger to a block instead of all these R_B_B that conflict between each other? otherwise does R_B_B require full script blocks from IF to END or can it be used as a REPLACE_TEXTUALLY? If the latter is true, the fixes would be easy I guess.

I officially hate R_B_B now.

Maybe too late but about hp bonus :

- If DROPPABLE
--- If Current and Max HP bonus present and type 0 (Increment)
----- set Current to negative of Max HP increase

I'd rather have the negative current hp bonus removed and max hp bonus set to type 3. This is because the above solution makes you lose hp when loading a save where a character is wearing such item and has full hp when saving.
