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:

Post results of a --change-log on spwi802.spl please.

it would be my pleasure, but how do i do it? forum search is not working, google omits symbols like "--". i tried to type "cluaconsole:--change-log on spwi802.spl", but of course i'm doing it all wrong. please help, where should i add this command, because it seems to be very useful. it shows mods that affect particular game component, am i right?

This looks to be the problem with your Spell Shield. The mod's old version of Detectable Spells overwrites a number of spell files, including this one. It should really be updated to use a more recent version of DS (e.g. from RR or SCS).

It's artwork from the first Kingdom Hearts and can be found here.

Academy of Kuldin bug. In BWP 9.1.0(or so) bugbears transformed in some golems(which are far more powerful) as soon as you enter the location. But in BWP 9.1.7 they act like mindless bugbears(it means they don't transform into golems and don't even attack). I tried to examine script AR3543.bcs(some random location from that mod) and found only some strange party level checks without a single word about creature replacing. I wonder what's up with those guys?

About problem with "Spell shield" spell. I tried to replace it with one from \BGII - SoA\spell_rev\spwi8##\spwi802.spl and it seems to work ok now. But its description in spellbook is still messed up, i think it's because of messed string entries or something, but that's not very important.

It's better to take the one from the Kiara-Zaiya\Backup\0 folder. That one will have all modifications made to it before Kiara-Zaiya was installed, including the name and description from SR, and the Detectable Spells stuff from the SCS component.

You might want to grab the other 68 spell files from the Kiara-Zaiya\Backup\0 folder as well.

Hi,

The "strange party level checks" allows monsters to transform themself into more powerfull monsters according to your party level (more information there).
However, I don't know why they don't attack but you should report the problem there.

Hope this helps

@Fouinto
Thanks, i'll check that thread

Heya. There have been a lot of posts about new problems, so rather than get lost I'll continue to write here.

Still have not gotten around the spamming "renal cannot wait and you have lost your guild" message, so have started another game in the meantime.

1)I accepted the Coran quest from Ribald (from Tortured Souls) in Forest of Tethyr. Went and tried to buy stuff a couple of times, but he just cherry picked some items and wouldn't sell his normal stuff. He kept saying I have heard you have been to the forest and what happened, then he would snag the stuff.

In order to get Coran to talk when first meeting, had to set the global
("CoranRibaldConflict","GLOBAL",0) it had been set to 4 and he would just sit there.

Then on returning to Ribald, he talks with Coran, and then "has nothing to say". This sucks, no items for sale. After muddling through the scripts, found setting global ("VP_RibaldMeetsCoran","LOCALS",1) allows me to access the store once. Every time I want to buy/sell stuff I have to enter that global again.

2)Also the new door from Hoppy worked great, but I saw that the globals
("CoranSeesCave",1) and ("TreasureIsFound",1) did not set.

So in the end it works, but the globals are not being set properly. And Ribald is messed up.


3)Also I mentioned before problems with the imprisonment spell. Now it looks like petrification also causes a ctd. Looking in NI and dltcep I can't find a petrify spell to restore a backup. If I replace the imprisonment spell with the backup, then no items are dropped on the ground. Something has messed with Biggy's mod, because his versions worked fine before. Anyway if someone has a working version could they upload it? Thanks.

Where could i check that in game? Some demiliches casted imprisonment on me and it seemed to be ok. And petrifications too!

I can't seem to pickpocket. Whenever i enable the skill, when i click on a target it CtD and says program has stopped working. I'm using the recommended version and playing BG1 atm. Any ideas on this, would really love to be able to use this skill.

It seems that any flirt related mod, doesn't work well with the Imoen Romance mod. This mod changes the force-talk option of Aerie to talk about the dreams with Imoen.

After the dream talks, every time Aerie tries to flirt with the main character, You'll get the standard Aerie dialog e.g. "Do you need something of me?", instead of the actual flirt.

I'm not really a scripter so I have no real idea on how to fix it.

Hello. When i launch bgmain.exe, thief class is able to put three stars in "two weapon style" feat. But when i run it with tobex.exe, i can put onle one star.

1) What about rules? Is thief really able to put three or only one star?
2) What setting in tobex.ini corresponds to this fix?

I presume that happens when you try to create a new character. Go to your BG2 directory and open ToBEX.ini. You'll find this entry:
/--USE FIRST_LEVEL on PROFSMAX.2DA--
//Enables proficiency restrictions at level one
[ProfsMax]
Enabled=1

Set enabled to 0, save, and your thief can put three stars in two weapon style.

@10th, thanks a lot for a quick reply, that helped.

One more question. Everybody knows that "Imoen Romance" mod conflicts with standard Aerie romance. The question is : does it conflict with other romances from other mods? And with other standard romances such as jaheira?
