The spell xp part has a interesting bug or unexpected feature.

The xp is only awarded on the first casting of the spell (i was intending to use it to balance the xp of a triple class party somewhat).

duh, it's because i misinterperted the "maximum" - i thought it was a maximum per cast, not for all of them!

OK, so I updated this mod a few days ago to correct that age old typo that messed with the the larger spell files, and I have yet another update to upload(I have just finished the alpha tests), but I need a few test runs to be made with it, so I am looking for volunteers to check if they can go through the new install procedure I am working on, and some feedback on it.
Also I need to make the mod have completely new translations, but the .tra file is to be compiled yet...

What's different?

I'm reinstalling (again) because of in a fit of desperate rage for not being able to compile a script modification for SCS manually (because of biffing i guess - even after unbiffing) I resolved to reinstall the scs component with the modified tweaks for the semi multi clerics casting and let SCS compile the file, but managed to fuck that up by reinstalling SCSII instead and something went wrong.

Then absolutely blinded by rage, i deleted the bgt dir, including the modified script file - opps.

So i can try it, but make no timely promises - i have stuff to do soon.

Well, you have to see it to believe ... unfortunatly that also makes the automated install far too hard to predict, unless you want to make a manually install first.
And I had to remove the XP part of the mod temporarily. It causes havoc...
This is the new .tp2 file, it's best if you copy it over the existing one in the mod folder(iiSpellSystemAdjustments) and then install it:

Think i'll use the previous version for now:

[Setup-iiSpellSystemAdjustments.exe] WeiDU version 22900
[Setup-iiSpellSystemAdjustments.exe] Using scripting style "BG2"
In state 1394, I expected one of these tokens:
  [372] END
Parse error (state 1394) at BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

[IISPELLSYSTEMADJUSTMENTS/SETUP-IISPELLSYSTEMADJUSTMENTS.TP2] PARSE ERROR at lin

Ah darn, I must have uploaded the wrong file... it's bad when you try to do multiple things at the same time, among them improving the code, the above line is totally unnecessary too.
Well, I'll upload the final v7 tomorrow, perhaps. The .tra files and all when I get to test that it works completely.

I have a suggestion for you: make a optional component for this mod that is the opposite of the "rest anywhere" tweak, the rest almost nowhere tweak.

Make those potions count.


Even better would be the "enemies find you out tweak" where the spawns figure out where you are and start attacking you en masse if you take your time sleeping in Durlag's Tower or something.

I updated the mod to v7.
Now the mod includes multiple ways (4) to determine the time delays, that and the successful and unsuccessful casting components are all tied up together in one nice and neat package, so it removes the component amount while giving more options to choose from. This is for both the Arcane(Mages, Specialty Wizards, Sorcerers & Bards and all their kits) spells in one component, and for the Divine(Clerics, Druids & all their Kits) spells in the other component. I also combined the XP from casting components for each spell form and re-targeted the effected files on the divine XP component.
The change might have caused a few bugs to turn out, so I hope that I get a lot of angry letters ... :whistling: ... as that means that people are still interested and want to install this mod.
Ouh, and here's a picture of a successfully installed first component, in case you were wondering:

...

I think those are the "House rules" tweaks, and they are somewhat hard to make so that they stick without cluing things together and possibly braking something. So if you wish to use them, then I would suggest that you first try to live with it, and then make a mod that does it, if your live experiment is successful.
Or this is just a defense mechanism because I cannot code such a component. ;) :lol:

I'm sorry, but what do you mean with "level variable" in option 2? This is a variable that I choose or an equation based on the level of the spell?

It's a constant added to all levels.
if you chose 100 and 10,

100 + 10 for level 1, 100 + 10 * 2 for level 2, etc.

I tried to install iiSpellSystemAdjustments but the installer unexpectedly aborts after the lines:

Now, do you wish that the spells are restored when:
1) Only when the casting is completelly successful
2) Even if it's not

It seems to me there is a bug in the code after line 227

Well, will check...

Hmm, and it gives nothing else ? As you can see from my pathetically small install... that it finishes at it:

Installing Vecna after Pack Mule and iiSpellSystemAdjustments solved the problem. Sorry that I suspected your mod has a bug.

Interesting. I did have vecna (but no pack mule) last install, but it installed (last version).

Interesting indeed :unsure: I have this working perfectly in my install... the only manual fiddling I did was move the top 3 TOOLTIP.2DA rows added by IRv3 at the bottom (like you mentioned in the G3 thread :unsure:)

Spoiler

Also, it might be worth mentioning that I installed iiSSAM manually :P (pause the install.bat and manually started setup-iiSSAM.exe) because I couldn't get it to work with inside the install.bat :lol: Maybe that affects things?

To clarify, i installed it after vecna too, and manually too, though i didn't notice if it would or not install from the bat file.
