My problem: I started the game two weeks ago with a half-orc F / T to have Use Any Item at high levels.
I made today a test with CluaConsole: SetCurrentXp(3000000): when i try to select an high level ability, i get CTD (same as dual-Imoen and level Up Xan the Sorcerer...)
I've uninstalled Tobex004 and installed Tobex008
Next try: now I can see High Level Abilities, but USE ANY ITEM is MISSING!
I do not know if it is an option loaded by a mod or a bug

May be an option of Tobex?
Any tips?

Thank you

Try not to post in two separate threads... it's not good for the, or the context of the post. So after you try and start a new game with the reinstalled TobEx, and then cheat to get the HLA... Does the game still crash when you select one of them ?

The bug you describe is a fix that's working as described in the install... as it sets the level 1 proficiency maximum to 1. At level 2, that maximum is removed, and the classes own max is set.

Hi Jarno, that's what I thought initially. However, when I start a new game, CLUAConsole XP to level up, I still cannot set more the 2 stars with any of my multi-class characters. Have you been able to level up any of your Fighter multi-class characters and put more than two stars in a weapon?

Also, while profsmax restriction is accurate for new chars in BGT, new characters for BG2 or ToB should be able put more than 2 stars, is there some detection based on what type of start the user has selected?

Thanks

Did you first level up to the level 2 ? And then cheat further, or did you just bump your level to 1000 and assume that the level 1 rules don't apply anymore...

I don't know if you know about this bug, but it seems that everytime I try to pickpocket someone and fail, the game crashes. This only happens when I use the tobex loader so I figure it has something to do with this mod. I am using beta 8 right now, and I have been playing around with the installation and ini file changing the enable pickpockets failed trigger, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I am also using tobhacks which has something similar and I tried having it installed/not installed and it doesn't seem to make a difference either. Its not a huge deal because it works without the loader, but just letting youall know to see if you can replicate the bug.

Do you have any crash information that you can post, especially Module Name and Address, that would help. Failed picked pockets seem to be OK locally. However, I am away and have moved to a laptop - TobEx is actually a little more unstable on this system.

I think ProfsMax restriction when BGT is installed will apply to all new chars, definitely SoA. I am not too sure about ToB. I am away at the moment and don't have BGT on my laptop. If you start a SoA game, wait till your character levels up so that you get the correct experience amount, then you can fix it all up then. I think this behaviour is more BG:TotSC-style, forcing you to invest your stars in different proficiencies at the beginning.

Of course, if you don't like the behaviour, disable 'Level One Proficiency Restrictions' (version 0008), or 'ProfsMax' (version 0007 or earlier) in TobEx.ini.

Ok thanks Ascension, sorry I should have explored the .ini options and leveled to 2 instead of jumping to 10 right off the bat.

But now I'm having much more serious issue, while running ToBEX v0008: I get a crash during character creation, whenever the game is about to show the list of kits. This happens for all races and all classes. Disabling 'scrollable kits' in the .ini avoids to problem (but of course I can't scroll to see all my kits now).

I've done a Tactical BWP install. I've only installed the ToBEX core and scrollable kit components (with first the .ini option).

Here is the crash information from windows:

Any idea what's going on here? Thanks for your help.

[the bigg]

Small code tweak: 265-ish should change from

COPY_EXISTING "csound.2da" "override/csound.2da"
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 31 1 2 "x"
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 32 1 2 "y"
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 40 1 2 "*"
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 64 1 2 "_"
  SET_2DA_ENTRY 65 1 2 "*"

to

COPY_EXISTING "csound.2da" "override/csound.2da"
  COUNT_2DA_COLS numCols
  PATCH_IF numCols == 2 THEN BEGIN
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 31 1 2 "x"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 32 1 2 "y"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 40 1 2 "*"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 64 1 2 "_"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 65 1 2 "*"
  END ELSE BEGIN
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 32 1 2 "x"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 33 1 2 "y"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 41 1 2 "*"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 65 1 2 "_"
	SET_2DA_ENTRY 66 1 2 "*"
  END

This should make sure that a third-party soundset mod can append its stuff to csound.2da without misleading TobEx in those SET_2DA_ENTRYes.

By the way, supreme work - you managed to fix two bugs in that mod without me asking or knowing

[Ascension64]

Thanks for that. Do any mods actually add STRREFs to soundsets yet?

[the bigg]

Not that I know of. However, after noticing this mod, I coded a WeiDU wrapper around the soundset packages in my sig, and will upload them today or tomorrow.

It's because that version 0008 beta isn't working properly because of bad programming. You should be able to back-download version 0007 from the same place (scroll down a bit further in the download page for TobEx).

Only people in the MODDER group can download older versions, I think.

I can download them and I'm no "MODDER".

[Lollorian]

I guess you just need to be registered to download old versions

[Ascension64]

It does, I'm not sure how to do that without re-uploading 0007 again. Any forum admins able to help here?

[Arkenor]

Problem is, BWP is going to continue to try to download version 8. I don't know if they have the right people around to get that changed at the moment.

Edited by Arkenor, 11 September 2010 - 04:23 PM.

[vilkacis]

There is a "restore last version" function. The download should now default to 0007, but 0008 still exists under "saved versions".

[ScuD]

Confirming the same problem as marty, CTD when going to kit selection during character creation.
Installed only Fixpack, BGT, Widescreen and TobEx 0008. The error in the log is

Assertion warning. Return Addr: 0x796F6E File: InfScreenStart.cpp Line: 2014 Expression: FALSE Message: (null)

Checked 0007 - the code for the component is the same, the error exists. Please check it. I can provide any additional info if needed.
