Aha, I've removed SPWI402 from HIDESPL.2da, and now it shows. The reason it didn't was because I've set it's HIDESPL.2da entry to 0 (equivalent of the ToB Hacks implementation).

So this means the ToBEx implementation doesn't care about the second column is (which is more elegant than Hacks). You might as well remove the second column entirely when distributing the next version to prevent modder confusion.

Well I can change the column label to UNUSED to prevent confusion. I can't remove the second column because then it would cease to be a 2DA file (compare with something like MASTAREA.2DA).

I have some idea, not necessarily easy, but you're definiatelly one of few ppl able to do such thing. Namely, add option of adding kits to classes which doesn't have any. I mean here Barbarian, Invoker and Monk (yet Imma not sure 'bout monk). If u add this like u already empowered kit-picking with your slider/zipper (?) other modders would be able to breathe some life into these dull classes. If it already exists somewhere and I don't know about it, tell em but I think it would be something compelatelly new thus so positive.

Has been requested, I don't think it is doable.
In furutre, please put requests like this in the wish list http://www.shsforums...obex-wish-list/

Barbarians and invoker are already kits, technically. Not sure if monks are kittable (though if sorcerers are, I don't know why not).

To extent, monk/sorc/barb/etc. can be kitted 'ingame'. PC will get to manually select the kit (dialogue, or whatever else) and set the variable. Now, each time he levels up, it also summons a creature-script who applies additional effects based on the choice made.

Or you could do what vanilla does for unused columns - place a "****" for each entry. Personally I'm fine with either way.

I did both.

Wow, this is a small revolution in BG2 modding.

Amazing work, A64!

I popped up a new test release. I need testing to ensure that the fixes that I have stated in the change log are fixing the issues reported.

[AnonymousHero]

Well, I can confirm that the Magic Damage Resistance fix works in my install with SCS v19 + TobEx_Beta0021_test_110709.rar. (And various other mods, but none that should affect this particular issue.)

[AnonymousHero]

With the same test release as in my previous post, the STR tome (BGT/Tutu) doesn't work as advertised in its description. Instead it seems to work like a permanent version of the "Strength" spell. I.e. if STR is below 18/50, you get 18/51 STR. (My character was at 18/27 if it matters.)

When I disable TobEx by renaming TobEx.dll to TobEx_disabled.dll, the character correctly jumps from 18/27 to 19 STR when using the tome.

EDIT: Also, setting "Strength Mod=0" in TobExCore.ini fixes it.

TobEx changed the way that strength gain worked to step through gradations as per strength spell. I may need to modify Strength Mod to depend on a different parameter.

[aVENGER]

There's also another issue with Strength Mod=1

If an item sets a strength score to a value (say 19) and another increases it by 1 point, the increment will be lost after a reload.

For example, if you equip a girdle of Hill Giant Strength (sets STR to 19) and a ring which grants a +1 STR bonus, you'll temporarily get 20 STR. However, on loading a saved game the STR score reverts to 19. Setting Strength Mod=0 eliminates the issue.

Beta 20.3.25

"Instantly Set Dialogue Variables=1" results in WK's machine of Lum not working properly. Instead of getting to select three desired controls, after the second try the dialog proceeds to the 'random effect' state. With disabled feature everything works fine.

gorlum.cre, gorlum.bcs, gorlum2.dlg

Should work with the latest test release. It seems this dialogue requires a delayed incrementation of global variables.

130 Configurable Backstab Every Hit and Configurable Damage Effect Bypasses Mirror doesn't seem to be working.
I use TobEx beta 0021, last SCS and SR.

I have installed the SR mirror image fixe, and then the spell now works prperly.

Will have a look. Anything specific you were testing the two hacks with?

Did something change between TobEX 0.19.2.19 and 0.21.7.9 for these options?

Scrollable Chargen Mage Spell Selection=1
Scrollable Level Up Mage Spell Selection=1

I've got an older Megamod installtion with ToBEX19 and my latest with ToBEX 21, during chargen of mages and sorcerors, and for level ups of a sorceror I had no problems with ToBEX 19, but with ToBEX 21 I can't get the spells normally hidden from view to show, despite scrolling downwards.

Moreover, instead of having the complete spell selection screen filled with spell icons, the lower right icon is blank. You can't select it, but you can see it's name, as a tooltip scroll pops up after shortly hovering over this blank icon.

After enabling various debug options in ToBEX I got some out of bounds errors, see the ToBEX.log for more details. In case you need more data, just tell which options should be en-/disabled.

If you enable 'Log Assertion Warnings', you could get a loss of false warnings.
Nothing has changed regarding these hacks. I cannot reproduce your problem either...
By 'hidden', do you mean that you have a modded game that has more than 24/25 spells in a level? The hidden I normally think of are spells that you do not get to normally choose, such as Dimension Door.

Are you using any GUI mods? There may perhaps be a compatiblity issue?

1. By 'hidden', do you mean that you have a modded game that has more than 24/25 spells in a level?
2. Are you using any GUI mods? There may perhaps be a compatiblity issue?

1. Yes, more than 24/25 spells in a level.
2. This time I went without installing any GUI mods, or is the option "Original SoA/ToB" in setup-GUI (BGT Graphical User Interface) required?
