Hi Insomniator,

 

Hi Totor

Test done and shapeshift works with off-hand weapon:

         - No more laggs

         - No more crash

         - with only some version of shapeshift (see file: https://www.mediafir...6h1c3lkwu/shape), if you equip/re-equip a shield, AC bonus stack until AC=-20 and stay after going back to human form; AC bonus can't be removed by usual ways after that.

I think this version can handle all possible item states, please check if you have time

https://ufile.io/8wrclybj

 

I have done some more tests and all seem to work as intended now:

        - No more lags

        - No more CTD

        - No more AC stacking

 

I let you know if I find some more bugs, but so far so good !

Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome mod. I've been using the 3.17 version with no problems last year. Now I've got back to another playthrough with the 4.6 version and since I've seen you added the bug report feature I have some bugs to report. The version of the game is Baldur's Gate Trilogy v1.21.
 
I've been able to pinpoint that all of the below crashes are because of ToBEx (prolly the dlls) and not because of any of the features of the BG2 Improved GUI (it doesn't matter which feature is installed). I also tested yours "ToBEx afterlife" and the crashes were the same. All of the saves work fine up to and including version v4.00 and crash from v4.01 onwards. So some change in ToBEx settings in those versions is causing those crashes.

Crashes:

1) CERND. This crash occurs during the first dialog with Cernd in the prison when he says: "I'm Cernd, as I said, ..."

 

2) RAELIS. After watching the play of the Sigil bards in the tavern in Bridge Disctrict, Raelis Shai comes forward and as she tries to start the dialog, the game crashes.

 

3) TEMPLES. Upon entering any of the god's temples in the Temple Disctrict, the game would crash. I could not replicate this crash after reinstalling the game so who knows. Could be an area, npc or sound problem. Maybe not related to ToBEx.

 

4) ICONS on portraits. This was discussed before in this topic. So if I have "Show Action on Portrait" installed and am using my custom script that basically rebuffs a lot of spells outside of combat and am using it with a high level character that has a lot of spells - then the game would crash.

 

I'm not sure if my saves will be helpful but I'll attach them too. They probably won't work without some of my settings.

Thanks for bugreport !

RAELIS.: i got crash on any version of TobEx, including original v26, problem is empty area link of some hidden Chars in savegame. Savegame seems OK, all area links is present, crash when processing trigger AreaCheckObject("AR0516",Haerdalis) (RAELIS.DLG), something wrong with Haerdalis (*AER10)
 
CERND: same as RAELIS, but this savegame probably is wrong, few chars like *AER15 has empty area link
 
TEMPLES: cannot reproduce bug, no issues
 
ICONS: need investigation

Magus The Magician, Congratulation, you discovered new bug in original BG2 engine !
Trigger AreaCheckObject() is missing check for Chars out of current map, BG2EE(at least) has fix for it

Please check updated tobex.dll, also i added workaround for icon crash, seems one of spell don't have any abilities. In console window you probably will see debug message about this case.

Hey, thanks for reply and for the updated .dlls. So I found the old full install of BGT with the 4.6 version of your mod and therefore managed to reacreate the TEMPLES crash. But wow after apllying your .dlls, RAELIS, CERND, TEMPLES and even ICONS crashes are all fixed. I'll post the TEMPLES crash just for info then. You will include the fixes in these .dlls into your next mod release right? Thanks for help and I must say your mod is really the best I ever played for BG.

Outstanding work here too (I've just commented to the same effect in the ToBEx AfterLife thread)

This is just Great.

Hi Insomniator,

 

I have on interrogation, one glitch and one request:

- What does the component 'Auto Switch Spell Book between Priest and Mage' do?

- the top of the map screen with the 'Borderless World Map' has some visual gliches (mouse trail - no background)

- With Near Infinity, it is posible to assign any file.spl to quick spell slot (innate, spells...). Do you think that you could make it be possible to assign innate ability to the quick spell slot in-game?

 

By the way, the 'New Spell Selection Overlay Menu' and 'Borderless World Map' are really a nice additions, thank you for it!

@TotoR The 'Auto Switch Spell Book between Priest and Mage' component makes so when you are mage and click at the cleric speelbook, you get mage spellbook. When you are cleric, it's vice-versa.

When you initialy select cleric char and click on book button, you get cleric spell book, then click on mage char on right panel, book will swithed to mage spells, just as EE does.

Hi TotoR

- the top of the map screen with the 'Borderless World Map' has some visual gliches (mouse trail - no background)

Please switch to 2D(DirectDraw) from opengl or vice versa to check same bug, also check windows/fullscreen modes.

 

EDIT: there is mistake in installator if widescreen mod installed:

 COPY_EXISTING ~GUIMAPWB.MOS~ ~override/GUIMAPWD.MOS~

must be

 COPY_EXISTING ~GUIMAPWB.MOS~ ~override/GUIMAPWX.MOS~

 

- With Near Infinity, it is posible to assign any file.spl to quick spell slot (innate, spells...). Do you think that you could make it be possible to assign innate ability to the quick spell slot in-game?

I think problem is cleric/mage class, it may requires switching between three books to assign spell.

I will answer detailed after doing some check...

Hi, I had a question about the Extended Event Text component (also called Extended messages/sounds in the OP, and Extended Items/Quest/Spell messages in the installer). 

 

I'm not sure if you saw my post here from a few months ago, regarding the TobEx "Expanded Actions" hack and how it changes the NoAction() script action to disable Modal states, but it's related to it. I have a script mod that requires disabling this hack to function with TobEx because of the arbitrary change to NoAction().

 

So I hadn't tested my script with this GUI mod until today. No conflicts with this mod or TobEx Afterlife, except for Extended Event Text. If Extended Event Text is installed, and the Expanded Actions hack is disabled, then the game crashes when trying to load a save. I'm assuming the component requires Expanded Actions to work.

 

I was going to just add a warning message in my mod, and skip if this component is installed, but I also thought I'd bring it up here, in case a potential fix is possible (either to the component or to NoAction()).

1) I usually keep all TobEx options enabled, so it is possible to crash when some option isn't enabled and i forgot to add check about this case
2) About NoAction() i will answer in TobEx topic after investigation issue

Thanks again for the all great new updates. Am interested though, is a zoom-in feature like in EE possible with the old engine?

It's impossible, you can only zoom GUI to x2 when choose resolutions above 1280x960, i restored this feature for usable level
