Ok, I think I found the issue ; I just tried gating a few fiends again, and this time, no problem. I went back to the area where I had the issue, the Grove of the Ancients, and it went like this :

1) I buff the party, including Magic Circle, and gate in a fiend, green but not controllable.
2) Cutscene, Illasera and her party appear, the fiend starts attacking them.
3) Here is the key : invariably, as an opener, Ilasera shoots an arrow of dispelling at my mage, which, of course dispels the ProEvil along with the rest.
4) The fiend instantly stops attacking, becomes hostile, turns around and makes a beeline towards the unprotected party member.
5) If the dispelled character gets killed, or invisible, or otherwise out of sight of the fiend, it turns green again and resumes attacking the enemy, which is why I witnessed the fiend switching from green to red to green... There were so many lines scrolling on the console that I did not link the initial arrow with the fiend's multiple allegiance switches.

So first, sorry for troubling you for what is after all the intended behaviour ! I would suggest however, a slight change to the fiend's reaction to a character becoming 'unprotected' ; maybe it could wait for something like 1 round/finish melee/finish casting before turning on the party instead of an instant switch. Also, the fiend changing allegiance could be accompanied by a display string along the lines of "Now I will crush you !" or "You can't hide from me, mortal!", to make it clear what just happened.

Thanks again for your patience, and sorry for the trouble !

Fred

EDIT : after further testing, it seems the fiend does display a string from time to time ; perhaps it could be systematized ?

EDIT : I have attached SPPR408, since it's the only file that appears to have been modified by another mod (d0questpack).

Mmm, ok ; aTweaks did replace the summoning spells correctly, since there is no wrestling for control and the fiends directly appear as green-circled but not controllable. However, as Wisp said, something appears to be interferring with the ProEvil effect afterwards.

Hi Demi,

from SCSII's readme : "the only demons in the game now kept at bay by a Pro/Evil are the ones that your party summons". Are you saying that SR's ProEvil spells do not even protect from party-summoned fiends ? If that is the case, how can one be protected from them ?

Sure :  WeiDU.txt   39.26K   334 downloads

this is a BWP install, so the weidu is quite large. However, atweaks is the only mod which seem to have affected both the CRE and BCS files. Let me know if you need more info,

Thanks,
Fred
