Could this little tweak be added to BWS: https://forums.beamd...g2-ee/p1#latest ?

 

If it's already it then scratch my request. One can easily miss it at Beamdog forums and it have too cool features to be buried.

Please check the values of these globals:
 
CLUAConsole:Global("wm_start","GLOBAL")
CLUAConsole:Global("wm_bgt","GLOBAL")
CLUAConsole:Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL")

I don't know how to check them in-game, sorry.  I tried entering them just like this, but the game said "call expression not a function".

Well... maybe because it should be GetGlobal (and not Global) :)

Why does Standardize Shapeshifting from Klatu's Tweaks & Fixes never gets installed in my game? Here is the error, I always skip it, if someone can help me solve this error, I'd appreciate it:

This is only possible if you do not choose the last subcomponent (although I can not imagine how this can be done).

I see in zonx's WeiDU.log that this component was installed, but I don't know if he had any problem with it. I myself have tested the installation of this component with different combinations of subcomponents, and it is always installed perfectly. The only way I was able to repeat this error is edit User.ini before installation and delete "2090?5_1" in "Current" block. So did you happen to edit this file before installation? And, did you try to install only this component without any other mods?

Turns out that I didn't choose "Proceed with installation" component, my bad  :blush:

 

By the way, when you install this mod, does it mess with your ax1h01.itm and staf01.itm? Because on my installation it did, and whenever I equip a 1-handed axe or Quarterstaff I turn into a male dwarf, haha, but I fixed it by using the backup in klatu's installation folder.

Anyhoo, I used EE keeper and looked at my save after Imoen joins but before Rhialto attacks, and there's a value of 1 for both "wm_start" and "wm_bgt". There was no listing at all of "ENDOFBG1".

I edited the TobExCore.ini. You didn't mention starting a new game, so I assume it was okay to test with my existing saves. I loaded from right before leaving Candlekeep with Gorion. I went through the cutscene, had imoen join, saved, and have uploaded the TobEx.log. Trying to help you and save you time, I found this section in it:

Spoiler


In case it helps, he isn't spawning near charname up near Gorion in the middle of the map. He spawns along the path to Candlekeep, due west of where Imoen joins you.

These are all occurrences of those variables in the mod:

Spoiler


Edit - I don't see how wm_start would be set to 1 in BG1 with component 4 installed.

Did you import your character or use an old saved game by any chance?

One other place to check: please upload your baldur.bcs and baldur25.bcs from generalized biffing subfolders. These are the scripts where the mod adds the code from BALDUR_ADD.BAF and then revises it in component 4. Maybe the revision failed.

I think I may have imported the character, not sure, however no mods were added or removed, so it shouldn't be a factor.

 

This was a fresh installation of BG

followed by a fresh installation of BWP

a character was made, then exported

A new game was started with that character

Thanks. I will check in a few hours when I am back at my computer. Could you also check the value of those globals in your saved game from before you left Candlekeep?

None of the globals existed before leaving.  After Gorion's death, as I stated, the first two had a value of 1, but the third did not exist.  I double checked with both EE Keeper and in-game.  I'll now whip up a random PC and race to the next map, just to confirm the possible importation isn't a factor.

 

EDIT

Nope, he's still there, killing us.  All global values identical, no change.

The scripts contain the expected blocks:

 

Spoiler
 
These blocks would create wm_rhia1.cre -- not wm_rhia3.cre -- and would only trigger if the global ENDOFBG1 is 2.  Doesn't seem to be the case here.
 
There is only one script that creates wm_rhia3.cre, wm_bgt.baf, which is added to the script for the area "AR6526" Ch.6.  This is the script:
 
Spoiler
IF
        Global("wm_start","GLOBAL",0)
        Global("wm_bgt","GLOBAL",0)
        GlobalGT("Chapter","GLOBAL",0)
        !Dead("WM_RHIA1")
THEN
        RESPONSE #100
          ActionOverride(Player1,Createcreature("wm_rhia3",[200.3200],0))
          SetGlobal("wm_bgt","GLOBAL",1)
          SetGlobal("wm_start","GLOBAL",1)
END
 
IF
        Global("wm_bgt","GLOBAL",1)
        OR(2)
                Dead("WM_RHIA1")
                Dead("WM_RHIA2")
THEN
        RESPONSE #100
                SetGlobal("wm_bgt","GLOBAL",2)
END

 

It does not require that the party has rested, but as far as I know, area scripts should not run until you enter the area...

 

To rule out any other possibilities, you could use Near Infinity to run a text search for wm_rhia3 -- K4naD.jpg

As you can see, NI only found one reference, and it was for area 6600, not 6526

 

Here's the script, if it helps:

Thrown hammers readme:

All components require the main component, since it installs the hammer animations. All components are otherwise optional.

Thrown Hammers
This is the main component. It installs thrown hammer animations (blue, green, grey, brown and orange variants). It also patches Aegis-Fang, the Dwarven Thrower and any mod thrown hammers with the new animations where relevant.

Thrown Spiritual Hammers
This component patches all Spiritual Hammer spell projectiles to be thrown bluish hammers that trail smoke and sparks.

Normal throwing hammers
This component installs normal (unmagical) throwing hammers in shops that sell throwing axes. These are fairly common.

+1 throwing weapons
This component installs +1 throwing hammers, axes and daggers in shops that sell magical weapons and throwing weapons. These are fairly uncommon in most games and quite rare in Tutu/BG1.

Additional magic items
This component installs a handful of unique magic items in random shops. Most of these shops are not accessible until later in the game. The items include Meraera's Dagger, Gethlun's Hammer, the Essembra Hammer and the Dwarven Thrower for Icewind Dale, Tutu and BG1.

 

atweaks readme:

Change Spiritual Hammer into a ranged force weapon 
This component changes the magical hammer created by the level 2 cleric spell Spiritual Weapon into a ranged force weapon, as per PnP rules. The hammer now deals magical damage and can strike from a distance. However, it is now affected by the magic resistance of the target and no longer adds the strength bonus of its wielder to the damage that it deals. Since the hammer is supposed to be controlled telepathically (rather than being actually held or thrown) the wielder does not receive the standard penalty for holding a ranged weapon when engaged in close combat. 

Is this fully compatible or last installed wins?

Sorry, I don't know how to run a change log.  I tried entering "--change-log ar6600.bcs" but the window just closed.

Sorry, I don't know how to run a change log.  I tried entering "--change-log ar6600.bcs" but the window just closed.
Make a new .txt file, open the file with Notepad and copy paste this text to it:
mkdir change-log
WeiDU.exe --log nul --change-log ar6600.bcs >change-log/change-log.txt --out change-log
Then use the "Save As..." command, remove the .txt extension and name the file as "change-ar6600-log.bat" for example, and then run the file with double click, yes just like a .exe file, it will make the new folder into which it will deposit the debug files...

Okay, after some poking, I managed to get something.  I don't know how to print out the report, so I took screenies.  Sorry.

Gay Lord, can you upload your BG2\wildmage\setup-wildmage.tp2?  The original version doesn't touch AR6600 and the BWP Fix version doesn't either, but WeiDU clearly shows that it did...

I'm surprised nobody else has had a problem with him, or perhaps they just thought it normal behavior.
