Disabling the hack make dispelling work fine.

Have you installed this component of SR on top of ToBEx's Dispel Magic fix?

Dispel Magic Fix (may be used with or without the main component)

If that's the case I am not so surprised about the weird behaviour of the Dispel Magic spell.

[Ascension64]

Yes, that would certainly cause undesirable behaviour. I noticed TobEx_ini.txt also indicates the compatibility incorrectly here, so I have corrected this.

Hi all,

Just done a new mod using Big World, and I'm getting a bunch of worrying looking messages when I run TobEx:

I'd really appreciate any indication on whether this is likely to cause me problems down the road, before I invest 100 hours of my life in playing it!

I noticed on an earlier page someone had an issue with one of my assertions, which may have been linked to scrolling on the UI, but I obviously had a load more warnings.

I've attached my Weidu log - it's a tactics install with a lot of stuff removed.

Any advice greatly appreciated

Matthew.

Was that directed at me? Sorry I'm new to using these tools, I didn't understand the instruction...

No, at Ascension.

You should be OK. There are a lot of warnings in the game that don't often mean much.

The BWP install of TobEx will need updating with the newer versions of TobEx at some stage.

Thanks Ascension! I noticed you have new release out, can I just substitute in the new version of TobEx over the top?

Matthew.

When you prompt the user for a value (currently for 'Custom Dialogue Bar Buffer Size' and 'Custom Contingency Trigger Check Delay'), it might be useful to point out what value the game uses by default when prompting the user (and not just in the readme).

As it stands, 'Disable Duplicate Effect Stacking' is incompatible with the game and shouldn't be installed, since kits that receive incremental passive bonuses (for example Wizard Slayer's magic resistance or Kensai's extra thac0 and damage) would only receive the benefits from the first bonus of the ability, rather than all bonus it should have from level ups.

No, don't. Probably best to just play as is. TobEx is installed right at the beginning of the installation order, so it is essentially a re-install to upgrade TobEx.

I am in the process of modifying it back to effect flags rather than being a universal thing... that is why it still sits in beta.

[dabus]

Could you pretty please consider using the same numbers for components?
Just for sake of people using the BiG World Project and --force-install-list with somewhat fixed numbers.

I know you do a lot of hacking, scrambling and all that -- appreciate by the way -- and maybe I just stumbled across those few that were moved all time, but from 14 to 15 the BGMain-patch was moved from 0 to 1, quick-configuration plus class restrictions were moved from 721 to 11, Opcode is Allow Equipping Armor in Combat. That may lead to some unwanted actions/configurations. Using some placeholders like you did for number 0 would be great.

Thanks

[Miloch]

There is a LABEL command for this now too.

[the bigg]

LABEL doesn't help with --force-install-list.

[Ascension64]

From 0014 -> 0015 should be the last major change, because of the implementation of QUICK_MENU. Stuff should stay mostly static from now.

An "ID system" over simple flags (discussed in GemRB forums) would be oh so much better and useful.

Is it possible to mark modder components as such? Half of them i dont inderstand what they are supposed to do and whether they have any effect on vanilla game, or are just enchantments for mods.

I supports this. Btw is there a readme describing your various components?

Cheers

[Ascension64]

Err, yes. TobEx_ini.txt. I am thinking this is a case of RTFM...

Don't use the beta stuff.

And the bigg already reported the encumbrance bug.
