I'm having an issue where stores in BG1 sell mod-added potions and spell scrolls for 1 gold. This doesn't seem to affect all potions (for sure, I know that the drinks from Nameless Melody Inn and Rupert's dye potions are not affected), but it's definitely affecting Dark Side of the Sword Coast and the food mod.

I tried to do a search and couldn't find mentions of anyone else having this issue. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I've discovered the reason for this behavior: certain spells and scrolls added into stores are showing up with a charge of 0. I've still been unable to figure out exactly what mod caused this issue. Using NearInfinity to change the charges of affected items to 1 is impossibly tedious, but seems to work as long as I haven't previously visited the area where the store is located. Hopefully someone with more technical know-how than I have will find this information helpful.

If you could figure out which mod is causing it, try posting in the mod's forum. There are instructions on how to do a weidu --change-log in the megamod pinned topic. It could conceivably be Store Revisions or Randomiser but I haven't a clue if that's true.

I've tried some change-logging, but haven't been able to isolate the problem yet.

I was doing some experimenting and tweaking, and ended up with the same issue on a slightly different install, so hopefully that will give me more context.

After some more testing, I've discovered that the culprit is TobEx version 24. It wasn't showing up in the change-log because it isn't actually changing the files; it's just recognizing items listed in stores with 0 charges as actually having a stack size/charge of 0, rather than a stack size/charge of 1 (which seems to be the vanilla game behavior).

Solved: in TobEx.ini, under [Store], set "Item Recharge Mod=0". I can't believe it was that easy the whole time...
