As you may remember, i've encountered a couple of problems with "scribe scrolls" ability, my character seems to lose it somehow when i restart the game. But now in BWP 9.1.7 it seems to be restored! But.. It does not afford any scrolls to scribe, just as if i did not have any. The same with other NPC's. What's up?

Well, my explanation to this would be like this: One of the Tweak mods altered the HLA... the ability went from one use per day to use this Cheesed ability as many times as you wish, but you'll have to pay for using it... Rogue Rebalance has this to say:

Scribe Scrolls (revised ability)
This ability allows an experienced spellcaster to scribe a spell from his spellbook onto a scroll. Only a spell that is currently memorized may be scribed in this manner. Furthermore, the cost of any raw materials that are used in the process must be covered in full. Finally, inscribing a scroll removes one instance of the spell in question from the caster's memory.
Note: scribing scrolls is a delicate task which can only be undertaken in safe (non-hostile) areas.

The ability should be from aTweaks. I dunno about losing it if you had already gained it, but the latest version of aTweaks should have a more robust way of giving the ability to you.

That sounds strange. Can you confirm you are using the ability from aTweaks or RR (it should have the file name rr#mscrl)? Can you also provide a sample of the file names of the spells you do have memorised (e.g. spwi304 is Fireball)? You shouldn't need anything more advanced than Shadow Keeper to obtain this information. You may also want to check your spell sample against spell.ids (where Fireball is 2304 WIZARD_FIREBALL, i.e. "spwi" = 2).

Hi everyone! :-)
I have the tactics version of the game. And I've noticed that Black Talon Elites don't initiate attacks, even when they're red they just stand there and do nothing. Killing the Black Talon Elite yielded 120XP so I figured something might be wrong with BTELITE.CRE. Does anyone have similar issues?

Yeah, it's been reported, it has to do with your AI selection at the beginning of the BWInstall.bat... so, could you tell us a little more about your install and how sure are you that the given .cre is the one with the problem?

[superbai]

Certainly! Weidu.log is attached. BG err shows nothing.

I know almost nothing about modding... but after doing a creature search (Black Talon Elite) on NearInfinity I got 4 results. The first one, BTELITE.CRE, shows 120XP while the other three shows 210XP. And since black talon elite seems to be the only creature that doesn't attack so far in the game, I figured something might be wrong with BTELITE.CRE.

Guys, i do need help in stupid situation. I've reinstalled BWP just to replace ImoenFriendship with ImoenRomance and, you know, i'm kinda care about how's romance storyline going. Plot spoilers, beware:

Spoiler

I've watched all the three dream scenes, got out of underdark, and the last conversation i had(in the end of underdark) with imoen was about her dreams about me and i answered something about those were just dreams. and now i am comprehend if i said something wrong, because she does not tell a thing for too long already! is progress with her romance attached to plot events? i'm dealing with a couple of side-quests right now. is something messed up with mod?

I'm terribly sorry to ask about it in BWP-thread, but the prob is too insignificant to create a new thread. I've tried to ask on ImoenRomance forum, but they've got a wierd registration mechanism with manual e-mail registration confirmation from administration(oh, english is kinda funny).

[Suslik]

Anyone? I'm in some random Icewind-Dale-locations quest right now and there wasn't a single phrase from Imoen =(

Oh, well. Damn the whole thing! I've figured out why the romance was stuck. Because of one(1(SIC!, BLASTED ONE)) missing imoen kindness point(22/23). I've completed most SoA and discovered that i've messed the whole thing with that "kindness points" stuff. So, i'm going to complete it again. Just one more SoA speedrun because of messed up imoen romance. Is it fourth restart? or fifth?

I just noticed that the "BG2 Tweaks" component "Add Bags of Holding" only adds the gem bag and scroll cases, while the other bags are replaced with useless "bags of plenty" that produce infinite sling ammo.

You may be confusing the effects of these two components:

Add Bags of Holding
In the Shadows of Amn portion of the game, this component adds potion cases to the stores of Roger the Fence and Mrs. Cragmoon and ammo belts to the stores of the Trademeet blacksmith and Perter.

Bags will also be added to the Baldur's Gate portion of Tutu and BGT games. This component will add a gem bag to the Friendly Arms Inn store, a scroll case at the High Hedge, an ammo belt to Thunderhammer Smithy, a potion case to the Nashkel General Store, and a bag of holding at the Sorcerous Sundries in Baldur's Gate.

Exotic Items Pack
Tutu, BGT Only
This component adds a handful of weapons and items available in Baldur's Gate II and scatters them throughout stores, creatures, and containers in the Baldur's Gate portion of the game. Items include katanas, wakizashis, scimitars, ninja-tos, bags/quivers of plenty, ioun stones, and a handful of spell scrolls. However, please note that the items have been placed with an eye towards balance and likelihood that they would be on the Sword Coast at all. The exceptions are scimitars, which are definitely less exotic than the other items and hence more plentiful.

The Exotic Items Pack adds one Quiver of Plenty, one Case of Plenty, and one Bag of Plenty.

[Mike1072]

Wait, I was wrong. It was the Bags of the Sword Coast component from BGT Tweaks, which turned out the same way. Someone else encountered the same bug: http://forums.gibber...showtopic=18612

That person is confusing the BGT Tweak Pack and BG2 Tweak Pack. The locations he gives are for the BG2 Tweak Pack component.

The Bags of the Sword Coast component adds a Gem Bag to the Friendly Arm Inn, a Scroll Case to High Hedge, a Bag of Holding to Mulahey, an Ammo Belt to Erdane (Durlag's Tower merchant), and a Potion Case to a house in Gullykin.

Since BWP 9.1.0(maybe earlier) there is a bug with "Spell Shield" spell. Somehow when i buy this spell(lvl8) from duergar in underdark and learn it, it appears in lvl8 spells sheet but it's description(and behaviour) are just the same as lvl6 "spell deflection". Images below:

Spoiler

This is how spells looks in merchant's shop:


Its description:


This is how it looks in spellbook. Upper right spell with an icon like "protection from fire".


Its description, when opened in spellbook. Notice that the spell is on 8'th spellbook sheet, but the description is from 6'th level spell.

Do i need to install BWP 9 and then copy the beta version over the files? or can i download the beta version without having to download BWP 9 first?

no, you don't.

So, i've got out of underdark and noticed that i'm still in chapter 5. So, when i come to aran linvail he does not afford help to deal with bodhi, but.. yep, sends me to spellhold to rescue imoen. again. bodhi's lair is empty.

what is the safest way fix that problem? i haven't gone too far from underdark exit and it's still possible to reload before that point. and replay "campfire imoen scene" one more time, yeeaahh..

[Jarno Mikkola]

what is the safest way fix that problem?

Go back to the elf camp(or load a save made there)... and open the console and put this in and push the enter:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",6)

@Jarno
I don't think it'd be ok. The other guys found that CtB mod(whatever it is, heh) replaces oAR2500.baf with its own file n2500.BAF, which is empty due to unknown reasons. So i placed following lines at the start of AR2500.bcs:

IF
//      OnCreation()
        Global("RevealMap","AR2500",0)
THEN
        RESPONSE #100
                SetGlobal("RevealMap","AR2500",1)
                SetGlobal("CbPartyEscapedUnderdark","GLOBAL",1)
                RevealAreaOnMap("ar1700")
                RevealAreaOnMap("ar1800")
                RevealAreaOnMap("ar2500")
                RevealAreaOnMap("ar2600")
                RevealAreaOnMap("AR3585")
                RevealAreaOnMap("AR3587")
                RevealAreaOnMap("AR3588")
                IncrementChapter("")
                TextScreen("SCRTXT06")
                Continue()
END

IF
        Global("CbMaleMageTeachers","AR2500",0)
THEN
        RESPONSE #100
                SetGlobal("CbMaleMageTeachers","AR2500",1)
                CreateCreature("CBEM25T1",[1063.1965],0)
                CreateCreature("CBEM25T2",[984.1981],0)
                CreateCreature("CBEM25T3",[1101.2022],2)
                Continue()
END

replayed the forest entering scene and it seems to be ok now.
You may see, that "CbPartyEscapedUnderdark" global variable is set to 1 and some locations are revealed on worldmap. I don't think it would be good just to execute IncrementChapter("").
