Does anyone know what mod is reponsible for the CDZOSA and CDZOSAREBOOT global variables? Because I think they're what's responsible for the repeated spell/ability gained messages. I've tried changing them and even outright removing them from my save file with ShadowKeeper, but they keep coming back once I actually load the file in-game.

A "simple" way of finding out what mod adds that is to use the Near Infinity to find a script that has that variable in it, and then --change-log the script file, and check the backups made to the change-log -folder of the file that doesn't have it anymore, and thus find the component of the mod.

PS, read the whole message and if you use the archive in the message, make sure NOT to overwrite the weidu.exe file when it's extracted, as the already existing file is more up to date.

CDZOSA is from IWDification

What is Near Infinity, and how am I supposed to use change-log, exactly?

Well, Near Infinity is one of the game editors, there's a small info pack about it here, there's more about it in it's links. Say, if the global was found by the NearInfinity to be in the "baldur.bcs" file, you extract the archive in the above link, edit the file with Notepad and change the "########.###" to be "baldur.bcs", both time without the quotes, and then save and run the file in the game directory like it was a .exe file, it will open the windows command console and produce the result into the change-log folder. And then you go to the change-log folder and proceed from there on out.

Man, what the hell is going on with this mod install...

That happens if you don't read Readme files.

You probably changed Imoen into; my wild guess, Charming rogue.

You probably installed all Spellpack components (to people taking care of BWS - Spellpack's components Imp.Invisibilty & Mislead seem to trigger this as well).

And you probably have either Randomizer  or Hard Times installed.

Item Revisions sensible backstab weapons or similar perhaps? Try using dagger/short sword for backstab, see if it changes anything.

 

Spellpack = Lost Crossroads Spellpack

 

As for Randomizer, you'll find that loot is in the same containers (not the tree trunk however), only different loot than vanilla.

Whichever mod assigned the snowstorm-looking visual effect to Wraith Spider attacks has brought my Core i7 to its knees. Have to kill BGMain.exe and hope on a reload that I don't fight Wraith Spiders... I imagine I could, in fact, defeat them. If, y'know, BG didn't lag to death beforehand.

Have you done all you can to cope with the LAG ? The last and not mentioned way is to allow the BGMain.exe to use +2Gb's ram with programs such as the NTCore's Explorer Suite.

It's likely to be the Ambient sounds, again.

It's not because of ambient sounds, unless the spell effect itself also creates an ambient sound?

That's not exactly what I meant, but that that as the lag has multiple factors contributing to it, and the correct way actually doesn't remove the ambient sounds, it just removes them during the time the game is heavily burdened by them and other factors. As it slides to the low end machine settings...
