Nocturne

Greetings.

I have been playing my Mega Modification for a long time now which contains 100eds of different components. Everything's been running (mostly) fine up until now, alas, I'm beginning to suspect that my harddrive is on it's last legs.

Can I safely copy my game folder and saved games onto an external drive while I swap out my old drive for a new one? Should I uninstall and reinstall (usually the best approach with unmodded games) the Mega Modification or just copy everything? I'm asking since it seems modded BG responds quite badly to alterations of the load order...

Thanks, NN

I could've sworn I saw a component in aTweaks that allowed the equipping of protection (f.e. the "Ring of Protection +1") items with enchanted armor!

As I donned my Studded Leather Armor +2 the other day I noticed I couldn't, and was today stunned to see that I have no such component installed! Searching various readmes, I can't seem to find it anywhere! I can only conclude that it was removed...a sad thing, as this was a really cool component!

I have searched, yet found nothing:

Whenever an enemy uses Charm Person on my party, they just stand around hostile. I.e. they get charmed, get a red circle 'neath their feat and the "Charmed" status icon, but they don't persue or even attack other party members! This makes Charm Person (And other charms aswell, I suspect!) not much of a threat!

I suspect this is ToBEx doing as it seems the most likely. I am not sure however!

Apologies if this has been asked before, a search yielded nothing for me:

Let's say I want to change the amount of gold I get for an item sold, what value do I need to change? I've located the .STO file I need to edit, but I cannot figure out exacly WHAT in there determines price.

Thanks, NN

Hey all. I just have a few minor questions here;

Edwin has 5 level 1 spells and 4 level 2 spells at level 3. Shouldn't he have one less per level? I.e. 4 level 1 spells and 3 level 2 spells? Level 1 Mage: 1 lvl 1 spell. Level 2 Mage: 2 lvl 1 spells. Level 3 Mage: 2 lvl 1 spells, 1 lvl 2 spell. Now Edwin is a specialist so he gets one extra spell per level from that, and also one extra spell per level from his amulet. So at level 3 he should have 4 lvl 1 spells and 3 level 2 spells!
 - Resolved!
 
Also, I gave the Cursed Berserking Sword +3 to Shar-Teel and she has 9 thac0 at level 4 with it. That sounds wierd to me, shouldn't it be 11? lvl 4 Fighter has 17 base thac0, then she gets +2 from her STR and +1 from her specialization, finally +3 from the sword itself. 17 - 6 = 11! I can only guess that the berserking effect grants her a constant +2 thac0 increase...
 
Is this strange or am I just going crazy?   
 
1. Sigh, as one problem is resolved, another crops up:

Shar-Teel got charmed by Tranzig, but unlike the default behavior where she'd attack my party, she just stand there doing nothing. This means Tranzig's charm became largely useless. Charm is fairly annoying effect to deal with, and I'd like to keep it that way. No idea what mod is causing this, digging through my WeiDU-log as I write this.

'twould appear that some mod I have installed causes Charm Person to behave like this. As it only appears to affect Charm Person (Dire Charm works as intended, so I'm guessing Domination and similar spells will aswell), 'Tis not that big a deal. But if someone knows what mod causes this behavior, I'd be glad to know for future playthroughs, thanks.

2. Even if only one spell/effect is resisted, there are numerous "Creature- Magic Resistance" strings in the combat log.
