!!! This is a list with bugs that were confirmed to be bugs!!!
Do not post anything here you might think to be a bug. It might be a "feature", a bug already solved, your own incompetence ( ) or whatever. Post it SOMEWHERE ELSE.

If you know how to fix one of them or can confirm that it doesn't exist anymore, feel free to post!

There's also a similar thread at Kerzenburg forum (if you prefer German), but since much more modding / fixing is going on here, let's have the same here (and in fast written English).

BIG PICTURE
BP-bug (overwriting scripts of creatures from subcomponents, actually breaking them)
The combination of the optional components of BP-Ascesnion and SCSII Ascension related components seems to cause some glitches. I even think that some .cres in Improved Illasera component of BP are broken.
Solution: Test if BP-Ascension additional components need BP-AI (Update: Done, they do not need BP-AI, but when BP-Ascension was split, nevertheless something went wrong, as it seems). Further update: BP Ascension overwrites some of the scripts of creatures from the subcomponents, that's the probem.
Currently, I'm chaseing the problem here:

BWP-Unique Artifacts-Ashes of Amber-Refinements

If one uses the BWP, a short time before the installation of Unique Artifacts the kit.ids from the fixpack is copied into the override. In this kit.ids several entires are lacking, amoung others the priest kits from Ashes of Embers. This leads to a good deal of errors when the BWP tries to install Refinements.

NT assasins and SCS assasin deployment, resulting in two assasins chasing you all around the mines exit area, without attacking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCSII:
Seems to be due to component "Treat mages' and priests' High-Level Abilities as innate abilities rather than memorisable spells (each may be taken only once): v17"
"Improved alacrity"(spwi921.spl) does not work if a characted previously had this ability as a 9lvl spell
Reason: this ability(like energy blades, summon planetar and such) is treated as a special ability and no more memorized like a spell, character gets it as a special ability. If a character already has it, it fails to work properly.
Solution: easiest solution is to restore spwi921.spl from a backup, it will be treated as a regular spell again.

Old problem with "Scribe Scrolls"
Problem: default mage ability to scribe scrolls is lost when exporting BGII character to BG1.
Reason: some abilities are removed during BGII-BGI transition.
Workaround1: set "flAddScribeScrolls" local variable to 1 manualy by CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("flAddScribeScrolls", "LOCALS", 1).
Workaround2: replace "GetGlobal("flAddScribeScrolls", "LOCALS", 1)" condition in dplayer3.bcs with "!HaveSpellRES("fl#MSCRL")". Notice that after this addition any main character(thief, fighter) will recieve this ability. Will not harm, but it will be useless.

ToBEx:
Protection from magic energy(spwi606.spl) does not work properly
Reason: magic damage resistance 100% does not reduce magic damage at all. it seems to be a bug in TobEx
Solution: set "Apply Concentration Check On Damage" and "No Spell Interruption On Zero Damage" to 0 in "TobExTweak.ini". Note that setting any of this values to 1(default) causes this weird error.

I thought of something that I forgot to mention before. Check to see if any of those guys have the same script name (aka Death Variable). It could be the case so only one guy changes with the SHOUT trigger and the other is left doing nothing. Actually, I think that was the problem.


EDIT: nevermind, it is a global trigger but you could do some action overrides in Chang's dialog to make the others enemy(). That would be the easiest in my eyes.

EDIT 2: Just change the action in Chang's dialog to this baby:

SetGlobal("UcmgHuntHostile","GLOBAL",1)
ActionOverride("cmthang",Enemy())
ActionOverride("cmkang",Enemy())
ActionOverride("cmortus",Enemy())
Enemy()

¿es bueno?

AND... the Kiara Zaiya character Morticia will go hostile from Amaralis' dialog. So in her script MORTICIA.BCS we see the below code. It would make sense to make that whole group of enemies spawn if and when Amaralis spawns since this is his second encounter with the group, the first being when Zaiya is in party and they are rescuing Kiara.

The party wandering into Small Teeth pass and seeing these characters without even having met Kiara or Zaiya (especially if PC is evil), makes no sense.

Her going hostile along with the others in the group:

IF
	Allegiance(Myself,NEUTRAL)
	Global("AttackC6ama","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		Enemy()
		Continue()
END

My in game edits (never played the quest, just doodling through it) to prevent any of them from spawning to be exclusive to KZ story line and not a regular encounter. Also, Chapter 5 at least as this should happen after Spellhold, I think. This is guess work so please don't mistake it as set fixes.

Links + copy and paste... Who expected that this would work... Anyway, all links should be fine now. I'll also keep it updated, together with the German one (at least until I cannot edit the first post anymore... ).

Thank you for your fixes and ideas! I'll tell Leonardo, probably he can produce something for the fixpack (or at least for tests).

[danemanuelk]

OK one bug from me ... maybe is a small one but is there:P

In Thalantyr Item Upgrade mod is a recipes with Ring of free action ... problem is doesn't work because Item revision I think.

I report that problem long ago http://www.shsforums...lantyr-recipes/ but in my install BWP Tactics 9.4.3 is still present. I don't know if other recipes of Thalantyr are broken or not but this from Ring of free action is.

[10th]

The cause was also posted, moreover it's no bug.

Cause: DSotSC, Dark Horizons and probably some other mods add custom Rings of Free Action. Those Rings DON'T work with Thalantyr, as he requires the vanilla game version (ring09), of which there are only two in the unmodded BG1 part.

is not about the other mod's even the ring of free action from Thalantyr (I buy it from him) doesn't work. practically now the default Ring of free action doesn't work in recipe.

P.S. in early version of BWP 8.1 for example all Ring of free action work indifferently from what mod was.

[10th]

The ring bought from Thalantyr was added by DSotSC, it's a custom item. As Miloch already pointed out in that thread, the only original Rings of Free Action to be found in an unmodded BG1 part of BGT are on the corpse of Alai and in the pockets of Dushai.

Oh THANKS

[Lollorian]

Dunno about you guys but unless the free action rings from the other mods specifically say they're different from the regular vanilla FA ring, imho there should be a compatibility patch that makes Thalantyr use the mod added item Imho ofcourse

Sounds like a job for ... oh Turambaaaar

Ha! I did not expect at all that a thread like this would work without attrackting spam... Anyway, I fixed the last links that were (no idea why; only pocketplane and rpgdungeon caused problems) not working.

http://forums.chosen...g18893#msg18893

Let's bash this bugger today eh??

EDIT: Not needed cause Hoppy's post above has a much simpler fix
Didn't see it before

Like Hoppy's post at CoM says, com_encounters\dlg\UCMGHUN1.D contains:

IF ~~ dieplease
SAY @408 IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("UcmgHuntHostile","GLOBAL",1) Enemy()
~ EXIT
END

BUT the GLOBAL UcmgHuntHostile isn't used anywhere else! And like Solaufein says at CoM, it may have worked for BGI cause BGI scripts are kooky like that But for the BWP, we'll just use the variable set by Chang to make the other 3 guys enemy-fy towards you

It'd be great if someone could test this:

1) First, crate a new file com_encounters\bafs\UCMGHUNX.baf containing this code:

IF
	Global("UcmgHuntHostile","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		 Enemy()
END

2) Edit SETUP-com_encounters.tp2 and replace:

COPY ~com_encounters/cre/UCMGHUN4.CRE~ ~override/UCMGHUN4.CRE~       
  SAY NAME1 @10019

  SAY NAME1 @10021 
  SAY NAME2 @10021

with

COMPILE ~com_encounters/bafs/UCMGHUNX.baf~

.. ??? Needs testing to check though

Also, theoretically, wouldn't each random flirt need its own LOCAL/GLOBAL to prevent it from firing again??? ... and again ... and again

Lollorian, definitely - but as you noted, it needs some L/G editing. As far as I can see, the flirt LOCALS is NOT designed as a constraint on this set, though - it looks like the intended behavior is truly that randomness. So swapping RandomNum() directly won't work as the original setup. I'd suggest you code exactly as you have above with the 15, but try two different ideas out to see which one works better (the 15 leave just as you have coded, but try):

This one only allows the "specially conditioned" ones to repeat once - which is probably ok, as getting a one-out-of-19-when-in-an-outdoor-area is probably not every game anyways:

IF ~Global("RPGSolaSingleFire3","LOCALS",1) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("RPGSolaSingleFire4","LOCALS",2) IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solawalkbeside3
IF ~Global("RPGSolaSingleFire3","LOCALS",0) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("RPGSolaSingleFire3","LOCALS",1) IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solastartled
IF ~Global("RPGSolaSingleFire2","LOCALS",0) AreaType(OUTDOOR)~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("RPGSolaSingleFire2","LOCALS",1) IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solabutterfly
IF ~Global("RPGSolaSingleFire1","LOCALS",0) AreaCheck("AR2500") ~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("RPGSolaSingleFire1","LOCALS",1) IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO soladeadlyspider

I just don't know if this is really the way Weimer wanted it to really work - it means the first "random" flirt in AR2500 becomes an always-fire-and-then-never-return, and SingleFire3 becomes the first two times FOREST flirts run (and they run in sequence). From a "make sure players see content" perspective, this version makes the most sense and will avoid the NVROL. But there is another way that you could test that preserves more of the randomness.

IF ~RandomNum(5,1) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solawalkbeside3
IF ~RandomNum(5,5) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solastartled
IF ~RandomNum(6,2) AreaType(OUTDOOR)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solabutterfly
IF ~RandomNum(4,3) AreaCheck("AR2500")~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO soladeadlyspider

If the logic works out right (BioWare™ uses this idea for entire dialogs for bit-players in places, but I don't think they do it within a dialog) then it should work out as follows:

IF AreaCheck=AR2500 AND 1in4 (25% chance if first condition filled) THEN soladeadlyspider ELSE
IF AreaType=OUTDOOR AND 1in6 (16% chance) THEN solabutterfly ELSE
IF AreaType=FOREST AND 1in5 (20% chance) THEN solastartled ELSE
IF AreaType=FOREST AND (same engine number set as last line read) 1in5 (20% chance) THEN solawalkbeside3 ELSE
15_possibilities_out_of_15
END

I think the math needs serious work, as a 1 in 19 chance only when in an outdoor area =/= 16% i think... and the FOREST ones in that codesnip are way way too high (40% of the time or so you would get one of the two FOREST ones) but if someone worked out the percentages, this method should be able to preserve the 'feel' of Weimer's random sequence. I suggest testing with those numbers or something even higher so that you can test with less repetition. The only caveat is that you want to leave "loopholes" to fall through, and you need to use different ranges (15, 6, 5, 4, 2) to get different results.

[Lollorian]

Now that's some serious bonkers

But, what difference does your second option:

IF ~RandomNum(5,1) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solawalkbeside3
IF ~RandomNum(5,5) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solastartled
IF ~RandomNum(6,2) AreaType(OUTDOOR)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solabutterfly
IF ~RandomNum(4,3) AreaCheck("AR2500")~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO soladeadlyspider

have over the original Weimer code:

IF ~RandomNum(19,16) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solawalkbeside3
IF ~RandomNum(19,17) AreaType(FOREST)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solastartled
IF ~RandomNum(19,18) AreaType(OUTDOOR)~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO solabutterfly
IF ~RandomNum(19,19) AreaCheck("AR2500")~ THEN DO ~IncrementGlobal("RPGSolaRandFlirt","LOCALS",1)~ GOTO soladeadlyspider

... save for the probabilities??

Why would the upper one work when the lower one fails?? (wrt the NVLORs ) Man, I need to understand how this randomnezz works

PS: Sorry Fennek, I overlooked Hoppy's Chang fix (his EDIT 2) in his post It's much easier to do and does the same thing so I'd prefer that

Why would the upper one work when the lower one fails?? (wrt the NVLORs ) Man, I need to understand how this randomnezz works

These random dialog things are really confusing especially for one like me that is horrible with dialogs and anything related to dialogs. I have a hard time understanding the two examples as well.

PS: Sorry Fennek, I overlooked Hoppy's Chang fix (his EDIT 2) in his post It's much easier to do and does the same thing so I'd prefer that

I did that cause I really didn't search for that global and since you searched and couldn't find it, then that got rid of the other possibility which was to put a block in the AR1200 area script but that is getting a bit overloaded now. Also, trying to avoid any additional scripting that would call for one block in a race or general script as that doesn't work a lot of the time. Case in point: Zannaster from Check the Bodies.

[cmorgan]

Heh. I bet you are right.

But I am not sure. wait...

ok. Nope, I stand by the test code. Test the second one anyways. Because the way this works is that reply states get evaluated from bottom to top, and in the first example, there was only one big block of 19. So if you got 16, 17, 18, or 19 as the random number portion (A = true) but when you did the second check for area or areatype etc. (B = false) then the engine reads that those are false and not available, and it has no other choice left to it - so "No Valid Replies Or Links". The code Weimer put there did not have any fallback position.

In the second example I gave, the evaluation has 3 individual RandomNum "codeblocks" to check, one for each constraint. If they all evaluate false, then the next section to evaluate is a RandomNum(15,#) where # = 1 to 15 inclusive, so one of them WILL be valid.

The way I think of it, the base of the dialog is a big dartboard labled up into little random_number_labled segments. We throw the dart at the dartboard, on its way to hit the board on one of those places. In the original code, some of the board had holes in it, because everything was made into one big board - holes and all. But by splitting this up, we get a 15 space dartboard with no holes, and the chance that something random will be up on the board to get hit when the dart tries to hit one of those 15 spaces (a picture of an ex GF 20% of the time, a stray beer nut 16% of the time, or a postcard from Maui 25% of the time). Most of the time, we don't have to worry about stray beer nuts, ex-GF's picture, or postcards from Maui, so those 15 spaces are just fine. But at whatever you folks detemine is the right level of randomness, *pow*... the postcard from Maui gets a cute little hole punched right between the coconuts.

[Lollorian]

In the second example I gave, the evaluation has 3 individual RandomNum "codeblocks" to check, one for each constraint. If they all evaluate false, then the next section to evaluate is a RandomNum(15,#) where # = 1 to 15 inclusive, so one of them WILL be valid.

Now THAT makes awesome sense I never doubted you ... ever

Okay, I just saw that Lollorian posted the fixes in the fixpacxk threat. I'll change the post above.
Could anybody who's registered at COM tell them about the fixes? (I'm not... )

Thanks to all of you!
