BG2 Fixpack Documentation: Core Fixes

This documentation is complete as of Version 8. This document will contain spoilers.

Deprecated Fixes

The following fixes were included in previous versions, but have since been found to be in error:

• Incorrect Racial Maximums for Dwarves and Halflings: This component was removed as the minimums and maximums from PnP were being used (and were correct) and the bonuses and penalties were being described correctly.
• Offhand Weapons Could Provide Unintended Bonuses to Main Hand Weapon and Vice-Versa: This was not working as intended; this may be unfixable.
• Comet Duration Fixes was rolled back, as the engine has bad issues with staggered probabilities in spell headers
• Exploit to Keep Imported Items At Beginning of SoA was removed, as it generally caused a lot of compatibility headaches
• Horn of Kazgaroth Has Only One Charge if Imported was rolled back; it actually works just fine

Strings

Miscellaneous strings are altered to fix errors in descriptions or restore omitted sounds.

• String #176 is fixed to reflect the correct speed factor of a +2 long bow
• String #199 is fixed to reflect the correct speed factor of a +2 short bow
• String #1768 is fixed to reflect the correct weight of plate mail
• String #2494 is fixed to reflect the correct speed factor of the Spear of Withering
• String #4330 is fixed to match the text of Imoen's line to the sound file played with it
• String #4421 is fixed to reflect the correct speed factor of a the Sword of Flame +1
• Strings #4432-4438, #41385, and #45889 are fixed to properly reflect the abilities of SoA familiars; strings #72757 , #72760, #72762-72767 are fixed to properly reflect the abilities of ToB familiars
• String #5962 corrects a typo that prevented the correct sound being associated here
• String #6709 is fixed to reflect the correct weight of a normal mace
• String #8064 corrects the description of Globe of Invulnerability to reflect that it is not affected by Dispel Magic
• Strings #8857 and #8863 were altered to fix some non sequitur lines of Viconia
• String #11848 corrects the listed penalty to saves vs. death for the Claw of Kazgaroth
• String #12164 corrects the description of Minor Globe of Invulnerability to reflect that it is not affected by Dispel Magic
• String #14320 alters the Symbol, Fear description with the proper duration
• String #17890 associates the proper sound file with one of Valygar's lines
• Strings #25201 and #45869 were updated to reflect the actual abilities of Berserker Enrage and Barbarian Rage
• Strings #25894 corrects the Teleport Field description to correctly reflect that there is no save
• String #26315 is the description of Spellstrike and was altered to better reflect the spells it affects
• String #35168 associates the proper sound file with one of Haer'Dalis' lines
• String #36460 fixes the listed damage of the +2 flail
• String #37155 associates the proper sound file with one of Jan's lines
• String #58250 associates the proper sound file with one of Ellisime's lines
• Strings #60724 and #60741 associate the proper sound files with two of Adalon's lines

Barbarian Rage and Berserker Enrage

Barbarian rage was supposed to grant a +2 save bonus against spells, but was instead imposing a -2 penalty. Sleep and stun immunities were not documented in the description. The immunities were also not suppressing all effects, but this is now handled by the Immunities Don't Suppress All Effects fix.

Berserker enrage was not actually protecting against stun, despite it being in the description of the ability. Enrage provides immunities to confusion, level drain, and feeblemind but these were not documented. While in the 'cool down' period, the THAC0 penalty was being applied but not reflected in the character sheet. The cool down was also using the same name as the actual enrage, implying enrage had been cast when it was ending. Many immunities were also not suppressing related effects, but this is now handled by the Immunities Don't Suppress All Effects fix.

The descriptions of both are updated to reflect the undocumented abilities.

Captain Arat Gives Infinite Fire Arrows

Prior to clearing out the de'Arnise Keep, Captain Arat would give the party a quiver of fire arrows every time the party speaks with him. This exploit is now closed.

Add Throne of Bhaal Scripting Abilities to Shadows of Amn Games

Several scripts and dialogues in Shadows of Amn use Throne of Bhaal scripting triggers and actions, and research has revealed that a number of ToB triggers and actions work in SoA-only games. This adds those additional ToB scripting options to SoA-only games, as they are needed for some of the later fixes. A very basic shoutids.ids file is added only if one is not already present. Baldurdash added some entries to spell.ids to allow for scripting of spells not previously possible. For continuity, the Fixpack adds these entries as well.

Files altered: action.ids, shoutids.ids, spell.ids, trigger.ids

Proper Kit Detection

Due to several errors in the kit table, many dialogues and scripts that check, for example, whether the player is a berserker or a Morninglord of Lathander would fail. In general, this manifests itself mainly in the form of dialogue not being specific to a player's kit, or missing dialogue options for special kits. Various joinable NPCs were also updated with the corrected kit values (in this case, the non-kitted value).

Files altered: anomen6.cre, anomen7.cre, anomen8.cre, anomen9.cre, anomen10.cre, anomen12.cre, imoen.cre, imoen6.cre, imoen10.cre, imoen15.cre, imoen211.cre, imoen213.cre, haer10.cre, haer11.cre, haer13.cre, haer15.cre, haer19.cre, kit.ids, korgan8.cre, korgan9.cre, korgan11.cre, korgan12.cre, korgan15.cre, mazzy8.cre, mazzy9.cre, mazzy11.cre, mazzy12.cre, mazzy15.cre

Detect Evil: Range and Magic Resistance Fixes

Per its description, Detect Evil is only supposed to work within the visual range of the caster. Also, the magic resistance of creatures was supposed to make the spell ineffective, but it only prompted 'magic resistance' messages from evil magic-resistant creatures--meaning the player effectively learned their alignment anyway. Detect Evil is now limited to sight range and will return 'magic resistance' strings for any creature (good, neutral, or evil) that passes a magic resistance roll, eliminating the de-facto effectiveness against evil MR creatures.

Files added: cddetevl.pro, cddetevl.spl

The Cloak of Reflection Not Reflecting Lightning Bolts, Missing Electrical Resistance Icon

The Cloak of Protection was missing several effects that were preventing it from properly reflecting electrical damage, in particular, projectiles from electrical spells. To allow it to reflect electrical attacks from beholders (without reflecting all beholder attacks), a new projectile was created just for the electrical-based beholder gaze attacks. (The Shield of Balduran is updated to account for this new projectile as well.) Despite conferring 100% electrical resistance, the cloak was also not displaying the Protection from Electricity portrait icon.

Files altered: clck24.itm, projectl.ids, spin579.spl, spin989.spl, wa2shiel.itm
Files added: cdbehbla.pro

Duplicate Shadow Race Entries

Shadows had two entries in the race table, which could cause confusion in scripts. Only a handful of "creatures" had the duplicate entry, so it was altered to 'STATUE' to reflect the creatures that had it assigned as their racial value (i.e. an altar and a statue).

Files altered: race.ids

Crom Faeyr Should Kill Ettins

Per its description, Crom Faeyr should kill ettins in a single blow. However, the ettins in the game were classified as giants so it was impossible to enable this without also granting Crom Faeyr the ability to kill giants as well. A new entry, ettin, was added to the race table and assigned to ettins in the game, allowing Crom Faeyr to be effective against them as intended.

Files altered: hamm09.itm, pettin.cre, plshfg01.cre, plshfg02.cre, race.ids, sahoty01.cre

Scripts and Dialogues Not Properly Checking for Creature Death

A very common problem encountered throughout the game was the incorrect usage of triggers to detect if a creature is dead or not. Because the trigger only accepts 'scripting names' and not objects (i.e. Player1), many of these triggers had to be worked around by using a custom state check. A new entry is added to the state list and non-working dead triggers throughout the game are fixed.

Creature Soundset Fixes

Various creatures throughout the game had incorrect or incomplete soundsets assigned to them. This is addressed by fixing the 2da file assigned to the various creature types to drive their soundsets.

Multi-and Dual-Class Thieves Restricted from Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil Alignments

Single-class thieves are allowed to be of lawful neutral and lawful evil alignments, but their multi- and dual-class versions are not. The Fixpack changes this to allow them to have the same alignment choices as single-class thieves.

Files altered: alignmnt.2da

Skalds Not Receiving Their +1 THAC0 Bonuses

Skalds are supposed to receive +1 to damage and THAC0, but were only receiving the damage bonus.

Files altered: clabba04.2da

Error in Fallen Paladin/Ranger Ability Tables

The ability tables for paladins and rangers were missing a column.

Files altered: clabfi05.2da

Stalkers and Archers Are Not Allowed to Dual-Class

In Throne of Bhaal, BioWare altered Stalkers and Archers to not be able to dual-class. As ToB reflects the most recent developer intent, ToB changes are generally rolled back to SoA games, so Stalkers and Archers are altered to be unable to dual-class in SoA-only games as well. There is an Optional But Cool component to allow them to dual-class in both SoA and ToB games.

Files altered: dualclas.2da

Imoen Has No Banter Dialogue File Assigned in Shadows of Amn

Imoen was originally planned to be killed at Spellhold, and was added back very late in the design process. As such, she has no banters and very little dialogue after you pick her back up. In fact, she has no banter dialogue file assigned at all. This component assigns her banter file, though it remains empty.

Files altered: interdia.2da

Maze Duration Not Correct

The duration of the maze spell is incorrect (too short) for low intelligence creatures.

Files altered: intmod.2da

Load Screens State that Your Characters Can Be Imported into Neverwinter Nights

The load screens, as one of their random hints, include"The adventure does not have to end once you have finished BG2. Neverwinter Nights will allow you to import your BG2 character." This is untrue; NWN does not allow importation, and this hint is removed from the hint rotation.

Files altered: loadhint.2da, loadh25.2da

Bard Spell Memorization Table Fix

Bards should receive a fourth sixth-level spell. This is omitted in the original game due to a miscalculation of a bard's maximum level under the Shadows of Amn experience cap. This bug does not affect Throne of Bhaal.

Files altered: mxsplbrd.2da

Consistent Raise Dead Prices at Temples

The price for the raise dead service at temples is determined by the (dead) character's level. The table that sets these prices had several errors: for example, raising a 29th level character costs less than raising a level 16 character, and is more than 10,000 gold less than raising a level 28 or level 30 character. The Fixpack makes these prices consistent and continuous.

Files altered: raisdead.2da

Mages and Rogues Not Receiving Final Save Bonus

Mages and rogues (thieves, bards) were not receiving their final decrease in their saves at level 21.

Files altered: saverog.2da, savewiz.2da

Very Low Dexterity Characters Not Receiving Penalties to Thieving Abilities

The table that sets penalties and bonuses to thieving skills starts at 9 dexterity and continues to 25. This opened a loophole: characters with 8 dexterity or lower were receiving no penalties at all. The table now imposes penalties for dexterities of 1-8.

Files altered: skilldex.2da

Sounds in the Promenade Echo

Due to some errors in the lookup table, echo effects were being applied to sounds while in the Promenade.

Files altered: sndresref.2da

Rogues Receiving Final THAC0 Bonus One Level Late

Bards, thieves, and mage-thieves should receive their final THAC0 reduction at level 21, but were instead receiving it at level 22.

Files altered: thac0.2da

Weapon Proficiencies Maximum and Minimum Fixes

There are several errors with classes and kits being able to place stars in weapon proficiencies:

• Swashbucklers were only allowed one star in katanas; should be two
• Monks were not allowed to place any stars in katanas; should be allowed one
• Fighter-Mage-Clerics and Cleric-Rangers were being allowed three stars in clubs; should be two
• Swashbucklers were being allowed two stars in crossbows, slings, and shortbows; should be one
• Kensais and Cavaliers were allowed dart proficiencies; should be zero
• Fighter-Druids, Fighter-Mage-Clerics, and Cleric-Rangers were being allowed one star in Two-Handed Weapon Style; should be two
• Fighter-Druids, Fighter-Mage-Clerics, and Cleric-Rangers were being allowed two stars in Two Weapon Style; should be three

Files altered: weapprof.2da

High-Level Dual-Class Characters Get Trapped at Level-Up Screen

Very high-level dual-class characters could get trapped at the weapon proficiency selections screen at level-up, particularly for combos with few available slots for proficiencies. There are unused proficiency categories not available to the characters and the game would think the player could assign stars, even if the legal (i.e. used) proficiency slots were maxed. Because of this, the player would get stuck at the proficiency screen with stars to assign and no available slots, with no way (other than force-quitting the game) to exit. The root cause is that there are non-zero stars allowed in the extra, unused proficiencies; with these altered to zero the game properly recognizes that the character has maxed out proficiencies and skips the screen.

Files altered: weapprof.2da

Kitted Bards Starting in Throne of Bhaal Have No Armor

Jesters, blades, and skalds starting in Throne of Bhaal were supposed to begin with The Night's Gift +5 as armor, but this was not occurring due to a typo in the starting ToB equipment table.

Files altered: 25stweap.2da

Clerics Receiving Multiple Holy Symbols

At level 25, clerics receive a Holy Symbol as a one-time bonus. Because of how the engine handled this, the mechanism for receiving Holy Symbols could be exploited by repeatedly kicking out and re-adding high-level clerics to the party. This exploit is now closed.

Incomplete Load Hints in Throne of Bhaal

With Throne of Bhaal installed, the list of available load hints for both games no longer matches. The missing load hints from the two lists are added to each other.

Files altered: loadh25.2da, loadhint.2da

Give Triple Multi-Classes Unique HLA Tables

In the unmodified game, fighter-mage-thieves and fighter-mage-clerics do not have access to mage HLAs; they use the default fighter-thief and figher-cleric tables respectively in a patched game. Both are assigned unique HLA tables that include the 'Extra Level 6 Spell', 'Extra Level 7 Spell', and 'Extra Level 8 Spell' mage HLAs. Please note that they retain full access to all of the HLAs they had previously.

Files altered: luabbr.2da

Multi-Class Thieves Could Select the Assassination HLA More Than Once

Unlike single-class thieves, multi-class thieves were allowed to select the Assassination HLA more than once. Per the developers, this is only supposed to be selectable once.

Crypt King Not Casting Horror

The Crypt King, encountered in one of the crypts in the Graveyard district, is supposed to cast Horror before combat. Due to an error in his script, this was not occurring.

Player Missing That They've Lost Their Bhaalspawn Powers

In the cutscene where the PC is stripped of their Bhaalspawn abilities by Irenicus, the "Loses all Bhaal powers" string occurs n the beginning while the screen is fading to black and can be missed. It's moved to the end of the cutscene instead.

Files altered: cut41i.bcs

Bodhi-PC Dialogue at Start of Spellhold Maze

There were occasional issues with the initiation of dialogue between Bodhi and the PC at the beginning of the asylum maze.

Files altered: cut41j.bcs

Druid Messenger Dialogue

The messenger that spawns to summon the PC back to the druid grove for the Great Druid challenge can have a 'no valid replies or links' error. If he spawns, is not spoken to, and the player becomes the Great Druid in the meantime, he will no longer have valid dialogue. This is altered so that he will go away if the PC attains Great Druid status.

Files added: druidad.bcs

NPCs Do Not Comment on Watcher's Keep Events in the Shadows of Amn Portion of the Game

The BioWare NPCs have several comments and interjections on Watcher's Keep--if the player is in the Throne of Bhaal portion of the game. These comments are now available if Watcher's Keep is tackled in the Shadows of Amn portion of the game. This also fixes the issue of Yakman having no valid links in SoA if spoken to with Aerie, Keldorn, or Jaheira in the group as well as Brother Odren having no valid links or replies in SoA if Keldorn, Mazzy, Imoen, or Anomen were in the group.

Aataqah and the Trademeet Gypsy Should Recognize Imoen

Due to broken checks, both Aataqah (from the opening dungeon) and the fortune-telling gypsy at Trademeet do not deliver any Imoen-specific dialogue.

Files altered: aataqah.dlg, trgyp03.dlg

Various NPC Dialogues Not Occurring Outdoor as Intended

Aerie, Anomen, Minsc, and Yoshimo have a couple of banters that are only supposed to occur in outdoor areas. Due to a bad area type references, these could occur anywhere--because triggers between the script and dialogues did not match, it meant that some dialogues could pop up at inappropriate times.

Files altered: aeriej.dlg, banomen.dlg, minscj.dlg, yoshj.dlg

Malformed True Triggers

Fovem has a dialogue trigger which is always supposed to be true, i.e. he'll always have at least something to say. The trigger was malformed.

Files altered: dmark1.dlg

De'Arnise Keep Staff Not Recognizing Nalia

Similar to the "Aataqah and the Trademeet Gypsy Should Recognize Imoen" fix, Captain Cernick and Chanelle the Maid were not recognizing Nalia and delivering their Nalia-specific dialogue due to broken triggers.

Files altered: kpcapt02.dlg, kpmaid01.dlg

Malformed Variable Checks

Dialogue options when speaking to the dryads in the opening dungeon were not available due to typos in the variable scope of their dialogue triggers.

Troll Cook Can Be Set Free

In very unlikely circumstances, the Troll Cook can be set free from Firkraag's lair. If the party kills the orc chieftain without making the cook go hostile, you can speak to her and let her go. The trigger for this option (checking to see if DigDag is dead) was broken.

Marcus Should Like Half-Elves

Marcus at the Sea's Bounty is the person from whom you acquire documents for Edwin in the Mae'Var quests. In one of the dialogue branches a female human, elf, or half-elf with high charisma should be able to sweet talk him into handing over the documents. The half-elf check is broken.

Files altered: marcus.dlg

Planar Sphere Apprentice Dialogue Errors

When selecting the first task for the apprentices in the planar sphere, Morul should check that the party has 2,000 gold before the party can select the Ring of Protection option. If the player assigns the task of the mages creating the Ring of Wizardry, there's supposed to be a 50% chance of success if all three apprentices are still alive. However, the player had 0% chance of receiving the ring due to a bad variable set in Morul's dialogue. When Nara gives the player the Dagger of <CHARNAME>, the action is missing parameters, though it has no effect in game. Due to some bad variable tracking, Larz would fail to have any 'intermediate' dialogue while the apprentices were working on a task. There was also a rare chance (1%) that Morul would have no valid relies or links after the PC instructs the apprentices to make the Staff of Power.

Files altered: mgappr01.dlg, mgappr02.dlg, mgappr03.dlg

Lord Ophal's Reaction Check Malformed

Lord Ophal's dialogue with the player should be driven mainly by his reaction check, but it's malformed.

Aerie and Kalah Missing Target for Initiating Dialogue

Aerie, in her dialogue file prior to joining the party, and Kalah both have missing targets for initiating dialogue. This appears to have no effect in game, though it is modified to target a party member to eliminate the error.

Files altered: aerie.dlg, kalah2.dlg

Mekrath Not Tracking Whether the Party Knows Haer'Dalis

If the party seeks out Mekrath about Haer'Dalis, he should have a slightly different dialogue if the party retrieves his mirror for him. This is not happening because of a typo when trying to set a variable to track this.

Files altered: hamek.dlg, mekrath.dlg

Errors in Setting Quest Timers for Keldorn and Vithal

If you decline to visit Keldorn's estate when you visit the Government District, the engine sets a timer. If you don't visit before the timer expires, he'll remind you a few more times. Vithal, the mage that you can free in the Underdark, also sets timers for you to arrive and advance his quest at each portal. In both cases, the action to set the follow-up timers is malformed.

Files altered: keldorj.dlg, udvith.dlg

Spellhold Irenicus Doesn't Always Open a Door

If you use the wardstone to enter Spellhold and encounter Irenicus in his role as 'Director', he is supposed to unlock and open a door via his dialogue. One of the branches (the hostile one) will unlock but not open the door due to a malformed action.

Files altered: ppireni1.dlg

People Leave Through Random Exits After Audiences with the Steward of de'Arnise Keep

After obtaining the de'Arnise Keep as a stronghold, the PC is summoned back for occasional audiences with various characters as the ongoing subplot. After several of these dialogues, multiple characters are supposed to leave by moving towards the front door together and then disappearing. However, the action for them to move away is malformed in several dialogues, resulting in characters that are supposed to leave together (or in a direction that makes sense) leaving via random routes. The best example would be the finale--Captain Cernick is supposed to leave out the front door with two other soldiers, but the two soldiers wander off in their own direction.

Files altered: kpcapt02.dlg, kpmaid01.dlg, kprang02.dlg

Necre and Entu Not Turning Hostile at the Same Time

If you speak to either Necre or Entu, all dialogue options lead to combat. Unfortunately, only the one with whom you're speaking goes hostile instantly as the action to make the other is malformed.

Files altered: obshal01.dlg, obshal03.dlg

Crossing Phaere Does Not Turn Ust Natha Hostile

Phaere will turn on you if you do not convince her of your loyalty when she proposes to eliminate Matron Mother Ardulace. As part of this, she exposes you and Ust Natha goes hostile. In one of these branches, the city does not go hostile due to a typo when setting the hostile Ust Natha variable. An additional issue of Phaere having a malformed action to leave is also addressed.

Many Dialogues Not Properly Checking for Active Romances

A common check in many dialogues is to see if romances are active between the PC and the four romanceable NPCs.

Two of Aerie's love talks were not being triggered correctly, either due to bad weighting (order) or checking the wrong values of variables.

A variable to track whether you sleep with Aerie was not being set.

If you sleep with Aerie, two dialogue choices would leave the tracking variable as 'in progress' despite being the last love talk of SoA.

Interjections Preventing Actions and Journal Entries

When a party NPC adds a comment to a dialogue, sometimes BioWare forgot to add needed actions, journal entries, etc. to the dialogue branch that has the interjection. This can result in missing journal entries, characters acting as if they've never been spoken to, and other errors.

• When speaking to the guard outside the circus tent in the Promenade, he does not add journal entries if Minsc or Yoshimo interject their comments at the end of his dialogue. The journal entries now appear if they interject.
• When speaking with Frankie, the manager of the Copper Coronet slave fighting pits, Viconia and Korgan's interjections prevent Frankie from setting a variable. In this case, Frankie never realizes he's already spoken to the party and will repeat his opening spiel.
• If the party is mean to the lost child in the Docks, she is supposed to run away. If Keldorn or Viconia interject, however, she erroneously stays put.

Unseeing Eye XP Exploit, Quest Breakage

If the party speaks retrieves part of the Rift Device and returns it to Gaal, he gives the party XP and summons the Unseeing Eye. However, because the party still has the item, he can be spoken to multiple times for the reward. Gaal now takes the item from the party. Down in the Unseeing Eye's lair, there were actions (such as a save) that could prevent the appearance of the Unseeing Eye after constructing the rift device. This is caused by a scripted delay between the construction of the Rift Device from its component parts and the appearance of the Unseeing Eye. The delay has now been changed into a timer as a more robust solution. Both ways of summoning the Unseeing Eye (via Gaal or constructing the rift device) will only work if the Eye has not already appeared. A script block from another area (ar0701, the Temple Sewers) would also sporadically trigger (though this shouldn't even be possible), causing crashes and sometimes killing the player when they retrieved the rod. The offending blocks now have additional safeguards to prevent them firing in inappropriate areas.

Limited Wish Quest Fixes

Grae has an item equipped that prevents her from being killed so she can deliver her second dialogue to the party to further the plot in the Limited Wish quest. If the party lets her go, she can sometimes be killed as she escapes by an arrow or bullet that was on its way to hitting her. This is caused by a premature destruction of her 'invincible' item by her script; the item is now destroyed only by her dialogue in hostile branches. The quest can also be broken by Vittorio appearing slightly behind the wall, just out of sight of Dennis. This causes their dialogue to fail, preventing the quest from advancing.

Hell Trial Exploits

There were several loopholes that allowed characters to escape penalties throughout the hell trials.

• Various penalties could be resisted by spell protections (notably Spell Immunity) in the Selfish trial
• Some attribute penalties were being applied with the wrong timing mode, causing them to appear red on the character sheet, instead of permanent adjustments.
• Doors in the Selfish Trial must now be opened sequentially, and one of the two final doors must be open for the demon to speak with you

Kangaxx Gets Stuck as Invincible Lich

If the party is not visible to Kangaxx when he appears as a lich (typically via Protection from Undead scrolls) he does not deliver his opening dialogue. If the party damages Kangaxx to the point where he should transform into his demi-lich form, he then delivers his opening dialogue instead of his demi-lich transformation dialogue. Kangaxx's lich form is protected by an invincible item, so at this point he can not be killed and will never transform. The Fixpack alters his dialogue so that his demi-lich transformation dialogue will occur at the proper time, regardless of whether his opening dialogue occurs or not.

These areas are altered so that special areas, such as the Harper HQ, Kangaxx's area, and similar are no longer valid 'escapes' for NPCs that are leaving.

Party Can Be Exposed in Ust Natha Despite Completing Phaere Quests

The tasks you perform in Ust Natha for Phaere are, for the most part, on timers. The game uses two variables to track this: one variable that contains the actual timer, and another to determine if the timer is active. When one of the timed quests is given, the timer is set and the other variable is set to active. When a quest is completed, the second variable is set to inactive.

Phaere instructs you to go the temple and meet her and Mother Ardulace, and the timer is set. However, meeting Mother Ardulace does not deactivate the timer. This can result in the timer expiring and the city going hostile despite performing all of Phaere's tasks correctly.

If the player speaks to Phaere more than once after she assigns the Eye Tyrant quest, she becomes unresponsive when you encounter her at the platform, thus preventing the appearance of the beholder and preventing the player from completing the Ust Natha quests.

Valygar's Ranger Friend Derrick No Longer Erroneously Attacks

Derrick, the ranger standing guard near Valygar's cabin, challenges the party when they approach the cabin. If the party has not heard of Valygar (i.e. is not working for the Cowled Wizards) then Derrick would always turn hostile. Derrick now turns hostile depending on whether the party is lying or not.

When Kiser Jhaeri makes an offer to the player to kill the Countess or Errard, most of the good NPCs object and the player is given a chance to mollify them.

Azuredge Axe Corrupted, Other Errors

The Azuredge Axe is corrupted; the effect indices were indicating an effect which did not exist. The axe has additional issues which are also addressed, such as the item not destroying undead, doing an extra two dice of damage when thrown, and missing the strength bonus when thrown (other throwing axes get strength damage) as well as its bonus damage against undead. The axe was also blocked by Protection From Normal Missiles, but that's covered below.

Shadows of Amn Worldmap Fixes

The worldmap of Shadows of Amn is broken in several ways.

• There are several areas with multiple links to other areas with inconsistent travel times.
  • The Slums district AR0400 has two links to the Government district AR1000, one of 0 hours and another of 4 hours (0 is correct).
  • de'Arnise Hold AR1300 (before TorGal defeated) has travel times to Umar Hills AR1100 of 4 and 12 hours, travel times to Temple Ruins AR1400 (pre-shade lord defeat) of 4 and 12 hours, and travel times to Temple Ruins AR1404 (post-Shade Lord defeat) of 4 and 12 hours. 12 hours is correct in all cases.
• The de'Arnise Hold has different travel times and links before and after you beat TorGal.
  Before TorGal, it is AR1300 and has 12 hour links to the Umar Hills AR1100 and Trademeet AR2000, 16 hours to the Windspear Hills AR1200, and 20 hours to the City Gates AR0020. After Torgal is defeated it becomes AR1304, which has a 12 hour link to Umar Hills AR1100 (same), 8 hour links to City Gates AR0020 (previously 20) and Windspear Hills AR1200 (previously 16). It is lacking the previous 20 hour link to Trademeet AR2000. Travel time to Trademeet remains 20 hours, though, because you travel 12 to Windspear and then 8 to Trademeet.
• The Temple Ruins is another area that changes after you defeat the Shade Lord, and shares many of the same problems as the de'Arnise Hold.
  Before the Shade Lord's defeat, it is AR1400 and has a 12 hour link to the Umar Hills AR1100 and a 24 hour link to the City Gates AR0020. After the Shade Lord's defeat, it becomes AR1404. The Umar Hills link remains correct, but the City Gates are now only 16 hours away. On top of that, City Gates AR0020 to before and after Temple Ruins AR1400 and AR1404 is 20 hours.
• Many areas have inconsistent one-way travel times.
  • City Gates AR0020 to Umar Hills is 20 hours, return trip is 24. If you have completed the de'Arnise Hold, this seems like it's only a 20 hour journey, as you go 12 hours to the Keep AR1304 and then 8 hours to the City Gates AR0020.
  • City Gates AR0020 to Windspear AR1200 is 20 hours, return is 24. This also is masked by the buggy de'Arnise AR1304 to City Gates bug mentioned above.
  • City Gates AR0020 to Druid Grove AR1900 is 24 hours, return trip is only 20.
  • City Gates AR0020 to Trademeet AR2000 is 20 hours, return is 16.
  • City Gates AR0020 to pre-Shade Lord Temple Ruins AR1400 is 20 hours, return is 24.
  • City Gates AR0020 to post-Shade Lord Temple Ruins AR1404 is 20 hours, return is 16.
  • Trademeet AR2000 to Windspear AR1200 is 4 hours, return is 12.
  • Underdark Exit AR2500 to Small Teeth Pass AR1700 is 4 hours, return is 8.
  • Windspear AR1200 to post-TorGal de'Arnise Hold AR1304 is 12 hours, return is 8.
• Many areas miss reciprocal travel links, causing inconsistent travel times.
  • City Gates AR0020 has a 20 hour link to the Small Teeth Pass AR1700, but there is no return link. Small Teeth to City Gates is 24 (8 to Underdark Exit AR2500 plus 16 to Gates). Small Teeth to Underdark Exit should only be 4 hours anyway, as noted above.
  • Forest of Tethir AR2600 to Small Teeth Pass AR1700 is 8 hours, no return link. Small Teeth to Forest of Tethir is 16 hours (8 to North Forest AR1800 plus 8 to Forest of Tethir).
  • North Forest AR1800 to Forest of Tethir AR2600 is 8 hours, no return link. Forest of Tethir to North Forest is 16 hours (8 to Small Teeth Pass AR1700 plus 8 to North Forest).
• Other changes
  It seems that travel times were laid out roughly by distance. For example, the trip from Trademeet to the Forest of Tethir is 52 hours, despite a fairly close proximity on the map. Trips from Athkatla to the de'Arnise Hold and Windspear are the same, despite de'Arnise being much closer on the map. Direct travel links between areas have been added to address these issues.

Lady Delcia Interrupting Dialogue

Lady Delcia and her guard are trapped in one of the upstairs rooms of the de'Arnise Keep. When the player enters the room and speaks with the guard, Lady Delcia walks over and interrupts with her own dialogue. This is fixed by allowing the guard's dialogue to pause the game. Lady Delcia will still approach the party and initiate dialogue as intended, but will no longer interrupt.

However, the vampires could sometimes be killed too quickly, preventing the tombs from becoming 'stakeable' via the scripted actions. An additional safeguard, added as scripting to the area, will now allow the player to still stake the vampires in case this occurs.

Troll Fixes

A quick background on how trolls work in the engine before an explanation of the fixes is in order. Trolls are equipped with an item that keeps their hit points from going below one to prevent them from being killed via traditional means. When they reach one hit point, they're replaced with a 'dead' troll--the dead version only has one hit point, but is immune to any damage save fire or acid. (Incidentally, this transformation is also why trolls sometimes seem invincible if the party is doing too much damage too quickly: the troll never gets a chance to swap creature files.) The dead troll has a scripted timer that if it isn't killed fast enough it replaces itself with the live version again.

The whole affair is a bit flaky in the engine, and several bugs regarding trolls have been fixed:

• Many trolls were not flagged as trolls in their race or class, preventing troll-specific effects (like the instant kill ability of Crom Faeyr) from working
• The 'dead' trolls were killable by poison, despite the game explicitly requiring acid or fire to destroy them
• Some trolls had the wrong item equipped, so that they were not only unable to drop below one hit point but were also immune to many other fatal and non-fatal effects
• As a consequence of the above, some scripts had to be updated to point to the new item
• Scripts that transform the trolls were not strict enough in their triggers; for example a troll killed via Finger of Death would still spawn the dead version that could only be killed via fire or acid (and also allowing XP to be gained twice)
• The method of killing the troll would yield different XP values, as the value of a live and dead version of a troll were often mismatched
• Several trolls lacked their item that prevented them from reaching zero hit points or were not scripted to have a dead version, thus removing the requirement of using acid or fire to kill them

Option to Charm Glacias Instead of Fight Fix

When you encounter Glacias in the de'Arnise Keep, the player can charm him instead of fighting--Glacias is supposed to deliver dialogue and then clear out. However, the engine tries to accomplish this by forcing a dispel magic on Glacias (as charmed characters can not speak in the BG2 engine) and then prompting him to speak. Unfortunately, the engine was not using its never-fail dispel magic, but instead a very low-level dispel which often failed. This resulted in Glacias remaining green-circled after being charmed, then returning to being hostile when the charm expired.

Stone Head in Shade Lord Dungeon Covers Container

In the shade lord's dungeon, the party interacts with a stone head to acquire one of the pieces of the Symbol of Amaunator. The eye of the statue is actually a container, but it's very difficult to get the contents as it is inside the blue circle of the talking head. Fixpack alters this so that the container will only be available after speaking with the statue at the conclusion of the Shade Lord quests.

Asylum Scripting Bugs

The game could be irrevocably broken in two different ways when entering Spellhold. If the party gained entry via the wardstone and then attacks Irenicus, under rare circumstances he would disappear and initiate dialogue from another area, breaking a number of post-Spellhold maze triggers and, ultimately, looping back and trapping the player in the experiment jar. The other game-breaker would occur only if the player got admitted by the Pirate Lord, declined his offer, then acquired the wardstone and entered Spellhold. Under these circumstances, Irenicus would not greet the player, no doors would be open, and the trap on the bridge would be reactivated, trapping the party.

Bynnlaw Vampire Attack May Prevent Quest From Advancing

If you take Aran Linvail's help in reaching Bynnlaw, three of Bodhi's vampires would attack you upon arrival. If any of them turn to mist and escape instead of being killed, the script to advance the plot further stalls, as it is only explicitly checking for the deaths of all three vampires. The script now accounts for them being driven off instead of killed.

Keep (Drow) Adamantine Items Exploit

The drow items made of adamantine are supposed to disintegrate in sunlight. This is accomplished by swapping the items, but these swaps are only performed in the Underdark Exit area. This opened the exploit of muling items by giving them to a character like Mazzy or Jaheira, kicking them out of the party, and then adding them back to the party at a later juncture. The checks have been moved to the main game script to prevent this exploit.

Brannel Should Comment on Ama Events in Thief Stronghold Quests

Brannel stands guard outside of the thief stronghold once the player takes control of it. Brannel has two quest-specific dialogues regarding Ama that were not occurring due to his script a) not being assigned and b) referencing the wrong quest variables. Brannel's script was also initiatig dialogue with himself (rather then the PC), which can cause issues with dialogue tokens.

Weakening Bodhi Does Not Stop Her Regeneration

Elhan gives the party elven holy water prior to sending the party off to confront Bodhi. The party can use the holy water in the blood pool to weaken the vampires; one of the consequences of this is that Bodhi's item that makes her regenerate is removed. This was not occurring due to a typo in the script.

Cernd No Valid Links or Replies if Party Poisons the Druid Grove

The player can use an 'evil' method of removing Faldorn and her shadow druid cabal by poisoning the grove. If the party does this while Cernd is not in the party, he is left with no valid dialogue. Cernd now turns hostile under these circumstances.

Cromwell Forges Item Without Ingredients Exploit

There was an exploit when commissioning Cromwell to forge items. The player could give all of the ingredients to one of the party members, get the party to attack that member, and then initiate dialogue with Cromwell and agree to make the item. The party could kill the member holding the ingredients during the forging cutscene, allowing the party to get the newly forged item and pick up the ingredients off the body of the killed member. Party actions are now cleared before the cutscene begins, as is the case for most cutscenes, to close this exploit.

Two Garren Windspears

After killing the paladins upon entering Windspear Hills, Garren Windspear appears, asks that you follow him to his cabin, and then teleports you right outside. If you just go straight to Firkraag's dungeon instead of into the cabin he appears again to inform you of the kidnapping of his son/daughter. After defeating Firkraag, you can ring up both copies (the one now outside the dungeon and the one back in the cabin) for XP. The Garren at the entrance of the dungeon now disappears at the rescue of his daughter; go to the cabin instead.

Critters Should Love Elves, Druids, and Rangers

Some creatures, such as pheasants and deer, run away from the party. However, they're not supposed to run away from elves, druids, or rangers. Unfortunately, the script was only having them stay if all three conditions are true, i.e. if the character was an elf, druid, and ranger--which is impossible. The script now checks for one of those three conditions to be true.

In the Pocket Plane challenge where the PC must face himself, Tamoko is included.

Lesser Clay Golems in Opening Dungeon Could be Killed Twice

In the opening SoA dungeon, the player can encounter two inert lesser clay golems. These golems become active and are summoned to the alarm in the bedroom. The change from the inert to active forms is scripted--but the check was never bothering to see if the golems were already dead. This eliminates the ability to kill them twice and earn XP both times.

Ilyich Wears Armor

Multiple Specters Trapped in Imps' Chest

If you do not solve the puzzle of the imps in the City of Caverns, a specter appears out of the chest. The specter kills the party member who opened the chest and then teleports away. However, the chest can be opened multiple times, and the same specter will appear and kill another party member. As there is only supposed to be one specter, the chest is altered so that this only occurs once.

Arkanis Gath Spawning Post-Spellhold and When Working for Bodhi

If the player agrees to work for Aran Linvail and then attacks the shadow thieves, Arkanis Gath is spawned. Arkanis is, essentially, an invincible character that kills the PC immediately. Arkanis' role is to prevent the player from breaking their own game--if not for Arkanis, the player would be left with no way to get to Spellhold. However, Arkanis will continue to spawn post-Spellhold if the player attacks Aran or his thieves, when Arkanis (and his cheese) is no longer necessary. He will no longer spawn after chapter five.

An additional issue with Arkanis spawning was that he was being spawned by the rogue guild of Mae'Var under certain circumstances. If the player began working on exposing Mae'Var and then accepted Bodhi's offer, Arkanis would appear if the player then started killing the thieves in Mae'Var's guild.

Invisible Player Should Be Able to Steal Statuette of Lathander

As part of the quests to expose Mae'Var, low reputation parties are given the task of acquiring a statuette of Lathander from the local temple. The party is supposed to be able to steal the statuette without being caught if they do it while invisible. However, the script was checking for the player to be under both invisible and improved invisibility effects, instead of invisible or improved invisibility.

Mazzy Goes Hostile if Valygar Charmed and Vice-Versa

After Mazzy adopts Valygar as her squire, she will leave the party and go hostile if Valygar goes hostile and vice-versa. However, due to the loose triggers on this scripting action, they would leave and go hostile if the other is only temporarily hostile, i.e. if under a charm spell. They now account for the other being in a charmed state. A slight cleanup of Mazzy's script (removing a reference to a non-existent scripting name) is also performed.

Asylum Crush Trap Can Kill Wrong Characters

In the first area of the Asylum maze (the area where Imoen can re-join the party) there is a large crushing trap. The trap is designed to kill anyone who sets it off, but it would occasionally kill other characters due to its odd script and the fluidity of its targeting object. The script is simplified a great deal to make these actions more robust.

Rogue Stone Lost When Reloading Prior to Entering Shangalar's Lair

The entrance to Shangalar's lair requires a rogue stone. During the cutscene that transports the party, the rogue stone is taken from the party and then the party gets moved, forcing a save.

The order of actions in the cutscene is altered so that the rogue stone is taken after the auto-save.

Elhan's Elves Turning Hostile (And Not) Inappropriately

When leaving the Underdark, the party encounters groups of drow and surface elves fighting. The AI scripts used for shouts (used for groups of creatures to work together) are the same for both sides, meaning that a drow calling for help can cause the surface elves to go hostile against the party as a response.

A secondary issue is with the elven war guard that appears simply to kill the PC if the player attacks Elhan or his elves. Similar to Arkanis Gath, the war guard exists purely to prevent the player from getting into an impossible to finish game. However, if the player attacks the surface elves fighting the drow in the last Underdark tunnels, the player can then attack all of Elhan's camp without the war guard spawning, leaving the player in an impossible to finish game.

In addition to variables, scripts also check the state of various creatures to ensure their dialogue is relevant, i.e. if Faldorn at the grove is dead, if Aerie is in the party, etc. Not all names refer to creatures: in the engine various triggers, doors, and other objects also get unique names for scripting.

Several areas in the game can only be accessed with the full party in tow. However, in many of these cases the flags only worked one way, or multiple entrances to areas were flagged differently from one another.

When entering areas, the party faces a certain direction based on the entrance point into the area.

• There is a unique guard that stands near the rubble in Waukeen's Promenade and has specific dialogue about the events leading up to it. The guard is duplicated in both Waukeen's Promenade and the government district; in both cases the dialogue was clearly inappropriate and the guards have been changed to the generic Amnish guards.
• A unique commoner (used to be Anomen's governess) in the government district is duplicated. The duplicate is replaced with a generic female commoner.
• Sir Donalus appears in both the Helm temple and the Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. In this case, the creature files were different and only the name was shared. As the NORH version refers to himself as Sir Donalus in his dialogue, the name of the duplicate in the Helm temple is changed.
• Khollynnus Paac is the mage that helps send the Solamnic Knights home in one of the mage stronghold quests. However, Paac is also one of the powerful Cowled Wizards that appears when you use magic without a license around Athkatla too much. Like Sir Donalus, the name of the latter occurrence is altered, as Paac is referred to by name in the mage stronghold quest.

Demons Spawned from Resting in Watcher's Keep Had Errors

When resting on various levels of Watcher's Keep, sometimes a creature should be spawned to prevent it. In two cases, the creature reference was invalid due to typos.

Saradush Prison Info Points Should Be Unique

In the Saradush Prison, two information points share a name rather than being unique. This leads to minor scripting errors, such as the party not facing the correct direction when the Prison Spirit appears.

Containers Are Inaccessible

Several containers were inaccessible, either due to impassable terrain or static characters standing directly in the way. In general, this caused the party member trying to open the container to stutter around a bit trying to reach the area, then the engine giving up after a few seconds and opening the container from a distance. Containers with this issue have been moved slightly.

Containers With Incorrect Icons

When accessing a container, the 'exchange inventory' screen appears at the bottom of the game screen. The payer inventory is on the right and the container is on the left, along with an icon. In several cases, the icon was incorrect (i.e. the icon would be of a chest when accessing a shelf).

Shadow Thief HQ Doors Not Requiring Keys

Some doors to the Shadow Thief HQ required the Shadow Thief key to be opened. However, they actually were not checking the key as they lacked a flag for it.

Doors Not Consuming Keys

Several doors that required keys were not consuming them. In general, doors that required keys would take them from inventory when opened so that the player had a way to realize which key was used and to prevent keeping unnecessary keys in inventory.

Creature Alignment Corrections

The Fixpack changes the alignments of creature files with alignments that seem at odds with their BG2 behavior. For example, some instances of Jon Irenicus are chaotic good and there are other similar egregious errors, such as paladins that are not lawful good. These changes are important because they effect the operation of spells such as Detect Evil or items such as the Equalizer. We change the creature files to the alignments we believe make most sense for them; as there are inevitably judgment calls involved, please feel free to discuss any of these changes in the forums. These changes are based upon the changes originally made by Kish for the Oversight mod. Some of these have been moved into an optional component after listening to player feedback; see the Optional But Cool Documentation or check out the alignment discussion threads.

Creature Racial Fixes

Various creatures had the wrong race set, which could affect how items and spells affected them. In a few cases the race was clearly wrong, but there was not an exact match to which to change so a 'best fit' was selected.

Creature Gender Fixes

There exists a gender identifier for creatures in addition to sex. Gender has several different values beyond male and female, such as summoned or illusionary. Summoned, in particular, is what allows scripts to detect summoned creatures, the summoning cap to work, and for the death spell to work against just summons. Gender also controls the casting soundset of creatures.

Creatures Have Ranged Weapon With No Ammo (Or Vice-Versa)

Various creatures have bows or slings, but are unable to use them due to a lack of ammo (or vice-versa). The Fixpack adds basic ammo or launchers to these creatures.

Amketheran Monk Doesn't Have Monk's Bare Fisted Attack

One of Balthazar's monks is missing the special monk fist item that allows him to strike with increased damage and as a magical weapon.

Juggernaut Golem Lacks Weapon and Immunities

The juggernaut golem summoned by the golem tome has special attack, but it's not referenced as his selected weapon so the golem attacks barehanded. The golem is supposed to be immune to +1 and normal weapons but lacked the correct item; he's only immune to normal weapons.

Several Errors With Familiars

In Throne of Bhaal, you have the option of feeding your familiar. The food is supposed to heal your familiar, but was not due to a bad spell reference. Familiars also had several discrepancies between their descriptions and their actual abilities--strings are updated as well (see Strings) where applicable:

• Every familiar had an incorrect armor class and (where applicable) thieving skills, as dexterity bonuses were not being taken into account
• SoA pseudo dragons did not have their proper magic resistance or weapon
• ToB pseudo dragons did not have their proper magic resistance and inexplicably lost 8 strength from SoA
• SoA rabbit had incorrect magic and elemental resistances as well as the wrong weapon
• ToB rabbit had incorrect elemental resistances
• SoA fairy dragons had incorrect elemental resistances and the wrong weapon
• SoA fairy dragons had incorrect hit points and the wrong weapon
• SoA cat received the full soundset that its ToB counterpart has and had zero attacks per round
• ToB cat had zero attacks per round
• SoA quasit was using the wrong weapon
• ToB dust mephit lost spells from SoA to ToB
• Fairy dragons and pseudodragons used the imp icon when stored in inventory

Creatures Lacking Items Due to Typos

Several creatures did not have items due to typos in the resource references. The results of the errors run the gamut from missing a minor treasure to the Trademeet genies lacking their melee attack weapon and Phaere not wearing armor.

More Than One Copy of Unique Items Can Be Obtained

In the Mazzy-Gorf encounter, the player has the opportunity to buy a potion from Festule the alchemist to weaken Gorf. Festule's Potion is also available inside a chest in the Temple of Helm--the potion should only be available from Festule in the course of the Mazzy-Gorf encounter, so the potion in the chest is changed to a healing potion.

Varscona, a unique +2 long sword, is available from many sources throughout the game, most notably amongst several of the Suldanessellar elves. Varscona now only exists on Ribald in the Adventurer's Mart and all other instances have been replaced with generic +2 long swords.

Suryris's Blade, a +2 halberd, is available for sale at the Adventurer's Mart as well as on a few creatures throughout the game. It remains on sale at the Adventurer's Mart and is swapped for a generic +2 halberd in all other instances.

Creatures With Spurious Items

Many creature files have items listed in their creature files, but unassigned to an inventory space. In many cases, this is because the developers went with a special version of the item instead and left the old resource reference, i.e. Drizzt has a special pair of Boots of Speed equipped and an unused reference to normal Boots of Speed. The old references are removed.

Creatures With Items in Wrong Slot or Overlapping Inventory Errors

Some creatures have the wrong item types in slots; a very common error was mage robes being equipped in the cloak slot instead of armor. This batch of fixes also addresses creatures who have duplicate copies of the same item in their inventory due to malformed inventory lists. This will fix, for example, Aerie coming equipped with leather armor in one of her quick slots.

Creature Without Bow Animations Shooting Arrows

Some Amnish guards and one zombie come equipped with bows and arrows. However, they lack an arrow shooting animation so the arrows appear to shoot out of their chest. The guards are changed to use their equipped melee weapons and the zombie to a normal zombie attack.

Pickpocket Exploits

Several items could be pickpocketed, though it made no sense to be able to do so. For example, Ti'Vael's Head could be pickpocketed from Ti'Vael or an ankheg shell from an ankheg.

Creatures With Illegitimate Critical Hit Protection

To avoid being pickpocketed, some items were placed in the head inventory slot. This ends protecting the creature illegitimately as anything in the helmet slot protects against critical hits, i.e. the Neb's Head protects Neb from critical hits.

Corrected Demon Animations

Throughout SoA, it seems that BioWare were unable to decide what animations they should use for various demons. This attempts to rectify this by standardizing the use of animations. All glabrezu in SoA now use the new animation that shipped with ToB. All pit fiends now use the "raver" or ravager animation (for lack of one fitting the description more closely), and all baalor now use the winged demon animation. Although the changes only affects SoA (the animation choices in ToB were better), the glabrezu animation changes will only occur if you have ToB installed.

Many Joinable NPCs Have Incorrect Proficiencies

Many of the joinable NPCs have errors in their weapon proficiencies; many were shorted stars but a few also had too many stars.

• Aerie had an extra star in clubs at level 7 mage/7 cleric.
• Anomen was shorted four stars at every level. We bump up his sword and shield and warhammer proficiencies both from one to two stars. The last two stars are moved into spears even though Anomen can no longer use them since dualing to cleric--he mentions his prowess with spears in banter.
• Cernd is missing a star in single weapon style at level 12. His level 13 versions also had some leftover BG-style proficiencies, which are removed.
• Haer'Dalis has one too many stars at level 15 so his second star in long swords is removed.
• Imoen is short one star at all levels, and short two in her level 13 mage/7 thief versions. Imoen receives a star in short swords at all levels and one in single weapon style at higher levels.
• Jaheira is missing a star at level 9 fighter/12 druid and 10 fighter/12 druid. The missing point is allocated to scimitars, increasing her proficiency from one to two stars.
• Jan is shorted one star at level 11 illusionist/12 thief. The star is allocated to darts.
• Keldorn is missing two stars at level 9 in long sword.
• Mazzy has an extra star at levels 9 and 12; the star is removed from her short sword proficiency.
• Nalia is shorted one star at all levels. At levels below 4 thief/11 mage she gets a star in dart; at levels above this she gets a star in slings as she already has a dart proficiency.
• Viconia is short one star at all levels, and two stars short at levels greater than 12. She gets a star in sword and shield at all levels, and a second star in flails at levels greater than 12.

Creatures With Specific Names Using Generic Names Instead

Several creatures have names but were not using them in-game; instead using generic monikers. For example, the ranger guarding Valygar's cabin is named Derrick but was using 'ranger' as his name. The strings were only added if they existed in game; no new strings were added. In a few cases, the given name and apparent name did not match.

Catti Brie Attacking Party Mages Without Provocation

Catti Brie had an odd script assigned that would prompt her to attack mages in the party, regardless of whether she was hostile. As the script serves no purpose, it was removed outright.

NORH Ally in Bodhi's Lair Turn Allies Against Party

The party can enlist help from the Noble Order of the Radiant Heart when going to face Bodhi. The NORH sends Eric Van Straaten who, unfortunately, is assigned a copy of Harbinger--Harbinger will occasionally cause a fireball on a successful hit, damaging enemies and allies alike. Because the damage appears to be coming from an ally it drives anyone recruited to help the party away. The fireball effect is removed from Van Straaten's sword. We also alter his stats to bare minimum paladin stats, as they were previously all 9s.

Cernd Not Assigned Script

At high levels in SoA and ToB, Cernd's script was not assigned. Among other things it prevented Cernd's SoA quests from starting if he was picked up at level 13 or above.

One of Semia's Party Often Runs Away

Ferric Ironblade, the fighter-thief in Semia's band, often flees prior to combat. Semia and friends spawn once the party obtains either the Dragonslayer sword or Dragon Scale shield. Ferric uses a combat script which contains a block for him to leave if he can't see any enemies and is not in combat. This often happens, as the script calls for him to continually run away if he's not invisible, so he often disappears without aiding Semia much. Ferric's script is changed to a more appropriate choice to make him more useful to Semia's group.

Good Devas Set at Too High a Level

Planetars and fallen devas are all set as 25th level characters. Devas, however, are level 30, which affects their spellcasting abilities. Devas are reduced to level 25 to be inline with the other celestials.

Joinable NPCs Have Incorrect Thieving Skills

Haer'Dalis, Imoen, and Jan all get shortchanged on their thieving skills. Haer'Dalis has no pickpocketing ability at all; Imoen gets boosts to her pickpocketing, open locks, and detect/disarm traps abilities; and Jan gets a mix of gains in set trap, open locks, detect illusion, and detect/disarm traps.

Errors in Imoen's Creature Files

In addition to the proficiency and thieving skill errors already documented, Imoen had other minor errors. Her biography post-Spellhold refers to her containment in the opening dungeon as if it was still current and she lost her battlecry sound as well. In her low-level versions, her THAC0 is off by a point. In one of the post-Spellhold versions, she is not assigned her script.

Inconsistent Mephit Portals

Of the four mephit-spawning portals in the opening dungeon, one had a different dexterity than the other three. In all other ways they are the same.

Ice Mephit Errors

Two ice mephits were copied from radiant mephits, but a number of things were not updated to be inline with ice mephit stats. They had incorrect color, AC, dexterity, resistances and melee weapon. These two and another ice mephit had magma ball memorized instead of ice shard.

Files altered: mepice01.cre, mepice02.cre, obsice02.cre

Nalia Errors

In versions of Nalia from level 12 mage/4 thief and up, Nalia's save vs. death is too high. The level 12 mage/4 thief version has an additional error: the quantity in her stack of arrows is set to 0.

Files altered: nalia13.cre, nali15.cre, nali18.cre

Planetar Errors

Evil planetars could use Holy Word, a spell only available for non-evil aligned creatures. Holy Word is replaced by Unholy Word. Evil and good planetars also had significant differences in their regeneration rates.

Files altered: planevil.cre, plangood.cre

Irenicus Could Be Killed at Spellhold

Irenicus was wearing a special item to keep him alive in Spellhold, so he can teleport away at the end of the battle. Unfortunately, his invincibility item did not protect from all possible forms of death (he could be disintegrated, for example). His item has been swapped with a more thorough invincibility item.

Anath and Other Lycanthropes Well-Nigh Invincible

Anath and a few other lycanthropes were using an old BG item (ringloup.itm) that protected them from all but 'cold iron' weapons. Cold iron is an old BG flag that was used to determine which items could hurt lycanthropes, as BG had no enchantment levels to determine who could hit what. In BG2, this flag is all but unused (weapon enchantment is used instead) which is why only a very few (and very random) weapons would hurt Anath or other creatures with this item equipped. The item is replaced with a standard item that provides lycanthrope abilities.

... and the standard item that provides lycanthrope abilities had its own bug. The regeneration effect was set not to be in effect while equipped, but permanently. Every time the game was reloaded in an area with someone wearing this item, the regeneration effect would get applied again. This could lead to wolfweres regenerating at fantastic rates, much too high to be killed via anything other than a spell or effect that killed instantly.

Immunities of Boneblades and Mordenkainen's Sword Incomplete

Mordenkainen's swords and boneblades were supposed to be immune to numerous effects (confusion, charm, etc.) but in many cases the immunities were either missing or incomplete--i.e. the swords were immune to confusion, but were still playing the spinning animation if an attempt was made.

Different Versions of High Merchant Logan Coprith Inconsistent

High Merchant Logan Coprith has two different copies of his creature file, one for the cutscene and his regular one.

Protection Items Failing Due to Bad Targeting

Some creatures have items equipped that provide racial bonuses, immunities, or protections. In a few cases these protections are not being applied due to bad targeting on the effects. For example, lichs are supposed to be protected from summoned demons and dragons are supposed to be immune to many projectiles such as arrows and axes.

Files altered: dragring.itm, jonhp1.itm, lich.itm

Item Effects Failing Due to Bad Timing Modes

Some items were failing to apply effects due to bad timing modes on their effects. Items should apply their effects continuously while equipped, but many were using instant or permanent timing modes. The former would cause the effect to disappear immediately, while the latter would force the effect to persist after the item had been removed, or even stack if they item was re-equipped. For example, Lilarcor would permanently make wielders immune to the spinning confusion animation (but not confusion itself). The infamous stacking regeneration of greater wolfweres is another effect of this bug.

For the most part, the effects are minor (usually colors not being set) but there a few very important ones, particularly monster immunities: many creatures (Bodhi, for example) have immunities to Nature's Beauty, Demogorgon is immune to Lower Resistance, and lichs were not getting many spell level protections and resistances.

Items Not Being Flagged as Magical

Several magical items were not being flagged as such. For weapons in particular this can result in magical weapons failing to harm a mage under the effects of Protection From Normal Weapons, or being unable to hit creatures which require +x weapons to hit. Additional items, such as familiars, were also flagged as magical so that the black dragon in Suldanessellar would not take them if the party handed over all of their gear.

Boots of Speed and Grandmaster Armor Applying Haste, Not Movement Rate Increases

The boots of speed and the grandmaster armor describes their effects as "increases movement rate" and "Increase movement rate as Boots of Speed", respectively. However, both were trying to apply haste effects instead of just a movement rate increase, which lead to miscellaneous errors (such as haste failing to work) on characters with these items equipped.

Files altered: boot01.itm, leat24.itm

Items With Incorrect Icons

Various items throughout the game had incorrect icons assigned. The 'inventory icon' is the graphic that's used on the screen with your paperdoll, where you move items around your inventory. The 'inventory graphic' is the nice black and white sketch that is displayed with the item description on a parchment background; only the Short Bow +1 had this wrong. The 'attack icon' is the icon used in the game screen to actually select the weapon.

• The Periapt of Life Protection (amul23.itm) and Necklace of Form Stability (amul24.itm) have their own, unique graphics but were instead using the icons from the Periapt of Proof Against Poison.
• The Flail of Ages +2 (blun14e.itm, the version with cold and acid heads only) was using the graphics from the cold-fire Flail of Ages +2.
• The Mace of Disruption +2 (blun25.itm) was using generic mace graphics.
• All generic composite long bow (bow01.itm) and generic long bow (bow03.itm) graphics were swapped.
• Short Bow +1 (bow06.itm) was terrible. It was using the generic long bow icon for its inventory and attack, and the composite long bow for its inventory graphic. Its actual graphics were only being mistakenly used by other bows.
• Ripper +2 (bow09.itm) was using the Composite Long Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Strong Arm +2 (bow11.itm) was using the Composite Long Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Elven Court Bow +3 (bow12.itm) was using the Long Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Tuigan Bow +1 (bow14.itm) was using the Short Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Tansheron's Bow +3 (bow15.itm) was using the Short Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Composite Long Bow +2 (bow16.itm) was using the Composite Long Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Long Bow +2 (bow17.itm) was using the Long Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Short Bow +2 (bow18.itm) was using the Short Bow +1 icon for its attack icon.
• Taralash +4 (bow22.itm) and +5 (bow23.itm) were using the Mana Bow +4 icon for their attack icons.
• The Bow of Arvoreen +2 (npbow.itm) was using the generic short bow icon for its attack icon.
• The Helm of Brilliance (helm16.itm) was using graphics from the Helm of Glory instead of its own, unique set.
• The scroll of Conjure Lesser Fire Elemental (scrl6x.itm) was using the Conjure Lesser Earth Elemental icons.
• The Staff of Power (staf12.itm) was using the Quarterstaff +1 for it inventory and attack icons.
• Katana +2 (sw1h55.itm) was using the Katana +1 inventory icon.
• Two items unavailable to the party in the game were also fixed as part of this review: Algernon's Cloak (clck08.itm) and a copy of the Elven Court Bow +3 (gorwom2.itm) used by The Huntress in Watcher's Keep.

Maces of Disruption Fixes

The Improved Mace of Disruption already has two fixes: Immunities Don't Suppress All Effects fixes the 'X level drained' messages and Items With Incorrect Icons already documents its generic mace icon. Improved Mace of Disruption had additional errors that needed to be addressed: the damage being done to undead was 1d6 + 5 instead of the listed 2d6 + 4, the 'Undead destroyed' string never appeared because of a bad order of effects, and it lacked the same glowing effect of the regular Mace of Disruption. The regular Mace of Disruption should have been doing 2d6+4 to undead but was actually only doing 1d6+4 damage.

Club of Detonation Has Incorrect Fire Damage

The Club of Detonation is supposed to do 1d6 + 3 damage, plus an additional three points of fire damage, and an extra ten points fire damage on 20% of successful hits. The three points of fire damage were only occurring 20% of the time instead of 100%.

Heartseeker +3 THAC0 Bonus Exploit

The Heartseeker +3 has the ability to increase the wielder's THAC0 by seven for nine seconds for the bow. However, the bow was granting a generic THAC0 bonus, so the player could potentially swap to melee weapons and get the benefits of the bow's ability. The bonus is now applied strictly to missile THAC0. (Note that it's still possible to use this exploit with another missile weapon, but this is not possible to fix without a large hack.)

Slings Applying Strength Damage

Slings are very consistent in not applying strength bonuses to damage when used, save two (one by design, one by bug). However, many sling users were getting strength damage anyway because several magic bullets were flagged to use strength bonuses.

Items Lacking Lore (Don't Need to be Identified)

Several items throughout the game lack a lore value, negating the need to identify them.

The Wave Halberd Doesn't Kill Salamanders

The Wave Halberd was failing to instantly kill salamanders (per its description) due to a combination of effects. Some salamanders were not properly flagged as such in their racial or class fields, which is fixed by the creature patches above. The other issue is that most salamanders have a protection item that prevents the effect being used by The Wave to kill them. The Wave is altered to use a slightly different but equally effective effect.

'Invincible' Creatures Could Still be Killed

Creatures that must stay alive for plot- or dialogue-related reasons (i.e. Irenicus at Spellhold) have a special item equipped that prevents any and all forms of death. However, the item was not quite protecting against everything. Shapechanging into a mind flayer and killing such creatures via intelligence drain is a common way around this item, for example. The invincibility item has been beefed up to protect against additional fatal attacks. The item was also allowing many subsidiary effects of attacks go through, potentially confusing the player--i.e. it would prevent level drains but not the 'X levels drained' messages.

Figurines Could Disappear Permanently

Miscellaneous figurines throughout the game were using an unusual method of recharging to try and simulate the figurine coming to life rather than simply being a charged item.

Enchantment Level Errors

Every weapon in BG2 has an 'enchantment' level. The enchantment is generally straightforward: an axe +1 has one enchantment, axe +3 is three, etc. The enchantment level is what determines which weapons can bypass spells such as mantle or hit creatures that need +x weapons to hit. The enchantment level is incorrect in several cases. One very notable case is that the attack item of many demons was flagged as just one enchantment instead of four.

The engine does not handle weapons such as the Bastard Sword +1/+3 vs. Shapeshifters, Hammer +1/+4 vs. Giantkin, and Daystar +2/+4 vs. Evil Creatures consistently. In all but a few cases, the weapon uses the higher of the two bonuses as its enchantment level. All weapons of this nature use the higher of the two bonuses as their enchantment; i.e. Daystar will be treated as a +4 weapon.

• Casting range between the scroll and spell disagreed, i.e. a spell that could be cast from sight range required the caster to be in touch distance when used from a scroll

The blade's offensive spin ability had a few issues. The THAC0 bonus was being applied in a fashion such that it worked, but was not reflected in the character sheet. Blades using offensive spin could also be hasted, despite the description. The attacks per round and movement rate were being applied via a haste bonus, which caused a number of flaky issues, such as losing offhand attacks. The attacks per round and movement rate bonus are now applied explicitly. Defensive spin was not protecting against movement rate changes, allowing an exploit of a defensively spinning blade being free to move. One minor issue is that Melf's Meterors can now cause the number of attacks to 'overflow' and wrap around to only 0.5 attacks per round. As a workaround, blades can no longer cast Offensive Spin when wielding Minute Meteors.

Grease has several issues. It only has abilities to level one, meaning that its abilities never scale. Its range and duration are incorrect and it's using the wrong icon for the spellbook. The casting time is addressed by the Casting Speed Fixes.

Armor Fixes

The Armor spell was lasting for 10 hours instead of 9 and the visual effect was also playing just a bit long. The casting time is addressed by the Casting Speed Fixes.

Burning Hands Fixes

Burning Hands had its range set to two feet instead of five. The spell was also causing a caster pause for an extra second when cast at level one.

Files altered: spwi103.spl

Color Spray Fixes

Color Spray should have a range of 30 feet, but was set to only 15. It was also imposing an undocumented -3 penalty to saves against its effects and was not affecting a full 60 degrees of arc.

Friends Fixes

Friends was scaling its effects past level 20 (divine and arcane spells scale to only level 20). The duration was also only scaling at every level.

Magic Missile Fixes

Magic Missile's range was set incorrectly, and its damage was also incorrect. The spell was causing 2d2 + 1 damage per missile, instead of the listed 1d4 + 1 per missile.

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere Fixes

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere was not working, pretty much at all. Because of misordered effects, it blocked most of its own effects and was missing quite a few anyway. The sphere should now behave pretty close to how the developers intended--because of engine limitations this is probably the closest we can get. The Sphere causes by a bounty hunter's special snares is also fixed.

Cone of Cold Fixes

Cone of Cold was doing incorrect damage at all levels. It lacked a level 10 header, so characters of level 10 casting the spells were only getting the benefits of being a level 9 caster. It also had an incorrect range when cast at level 9.

Files altered: spwi503.spl

Monster Summoning III Fixes

Energy Drain Fixes

The arcane spell Energy Drain is designed to bypass magic resistance. However, one effect (lighting effects) was not bypassing magic resistance, which would lead to confusion as the spell would work but the message window could also indicate that magic resistance had rebuffed the spell.

Files altered: spwi914.spl

Bigby's Crushing Hand Fixes

The power of Bigby's Crushing Hand was set inconsistently, which could cause some effects to incorrectly bypass or fail against spell protections. The damage in the final round is against a save vs. paralyzation, but an incorrect -2 penalty was being imposed.

Files altered: spwi918.spl

Improved Alacrity via Wish

The spell being cast via Wish in the 'Cast a double-length 'Time Stop' and 'Improved Alacrity' on the caster.' option of dialogue had some issues. The Improved Alacrity was not working as it was using the wrong opcode, and the sound effect that was supposed to indicate the end of the duration was playing over a minute after the spell effects ended.

Many Spells Should Not Be Able To Stack With Themselves

Many spells should not be able to stack with themselves.

Stores Have Infinite Magical Items

Several stores have infinite quantities of items. While it's common for non-magical items (particularly ammunition such as arrows or bolts) to be in infinite quantities at stores, the magical items should not be infinite. In a few cases, normal items were made to be finite in quantity, as there were other factors that made the infinite flag look suspect (such as a nonzero quantity).

The poison weapon ability of assassins was allowing a save against the target's best saving throw, instead of against poison. The damage over the first 12 seconds was also incorrect.

Files altered: spcl422.eff, spcl422a.eff

Spells/Abilities Allowing Second Save

Some spells and abilities use secondary files to deliver effects targeted at only one type of creature. In some cases, the spell was providing a save against the effects, and then a second save attempt was allowed by the secondary file. These secondary files, used primarily in spells which have extra effects for undead, are used by multiple spells. As the save is being properly handled by the spell, the second save is removed from the external files.

Items And Spells Lacking Miscast Magic and Spell Failure Icons

Items and spells that caused miscast magic effects were, by and large, not setting portrait icons to indicate the effect including the Miscast Magic spell itself.

Lavok Dies Too Quickly if Moved Outside

Lavok has an invincibility item so that he can survive attacks from the player and still deliver his required dialogue to advance the plot and allow the party to escape the planar sphere. He's also assigned a script that kills him instantly if the item is removed. In Lavok's dialogue, this item is removed during the course of his fnal dialogues. Occasionally, the script will kick in and kill Lavok before he is able to deliver his final dialogue. This is most prevalent when he is taken outside, as he can die before offering the player the sphere as a stronghold. As Lavok's final dialogues already kill him at their conclusion, the removal of the invincibility item is unnecessary--the action is removed to prevent him from dying prematurely. This fix also addresses a second bug--if the player sneaks up and kills Lavok before his initial dialogue--say, via backstab--then he'll transform, give his opening dialogue, and go hostile, breaking the quest and trapping the player in the sphere.

In addition, divine spells can also be flagged as restricted from cleric/paladins or druid/rangers. These spells were removed. Viconia no longer knows Holy Smite (good characters only), Fire Seeds (druids only), but should know Flame Blade. Jaheira no longer knows Remove Fear, Zone of Sweet Air, Mental Domination, or Champion's Strength (only for clerics/paladins).

Waukeen's Promenade Temple of Ilmater Has Wrong Character

The temple of Ilmater in Waukeen's Promenade was re-using the priest of Ilmater character from the Ilmater temple in the Slums. The original priest had dialogue for events and creatures that were not appropriate for the Waukeen's Promenade temple; the originally intended character there was a priestess. The area has been updated to use the intended priestess instead of the priest.

Fixed Bug That Prevents Saving Games (OS X Only)

On the OS X version of the game, 'temp' would be created as a file instead of a folder. This would prevent the player from saving their game. If 'temp' is a file, Fixpack will change it to a folder.

Files altered: temp, if file, changed into folder

Amalas' Buddies Not Leaving Together

If you kill Amalas in the pit and speak to either of his buddies afterwards, both are supposed to leave together. A broken trigger prevented the other buddy (whichever one you did not speak with) from leaving until you spoke with him as well.

Valygar's Departure in the Slums Can Cause Cutscene Hang

The Slums has a special trigger so that Valygar can make a comment during a cutscene about the Planar Sphere as the party approaches. If the party kicks out Valygar and he runs over this trigger as he leaves, the game will initiate the cutscene--however, as Valygar is leaving, he can not start dialogue and properly close the cutscene. This leaves the party stuck in a cutscene, unable to escape and continue the game. The special trigger conditions have been tightened to make sure Valygar is in the party and eligible to deliver his dialogue.

Area Animation Glitches

Many animations in areas had bad perspective or were displayed over background tiles despite being behind them. This was typically due to a bad layer order; the most common errors were ovens not displaying their internal fire or forges/stoves displaying their flames on top of their hoods. The Fixpack Screenshot Gallery has before-and-after shots of these graphical glitches. Some of these glitches are only encountered with certain graphical settings.

Soldier Barracks in the Docks Has Reversed Entry and Exit Points

One of the areas (ar0333) in the soldier barracks has reversed entry and exit points. You leave the other barracks area (ar0332) by a northeastern exit, but appear on the northeastern side of ar0333. If you try to leave ar0333 by the southwestern doorway, you'll end up outside. Swapping the transition and entry points results in the more sensible (and optically correct) entrance on the southwest edge of the area.

Unsellable Items

Two of the normal books in the game--the History of Shadowdale (subtitled Doust Chooses Mourngrym Amcathra to Succeed Him) and the History of the Drow (subtitled The Dark Wars)--could not be sold, despite being able to sell every other similar item of this type.

Incorrect Damage for Oil of Fiery Burning

This potion is supposed to do 5d6 damage and only half damage on a save. However, the oil was actually doing 3d4 + 3d6 on a failed save and 3d4 on a successful one. The oil now does 5d6 on a failed save and 2d6 on a successful one. (BioWare often split odd numbers of dice like this for half-damage on saves, so this is consistent with other spells and items.)

Dispel/Remove Magic Generating Spurious Magic Resistance Message

The cosmetic graphical effect and feeblemind removal effects attached to the Dispel and Remove Magic spells had an incorrect dispel/bypass setting.

This also affected items that used the Dispel Magic spell as a spell to be cast or invoked on hit.

Immunities Don't Suppress All Effects

If a creature is immune to a hold effect, they frequently failed to suppress the associated effects--the hold portrait icon might still appear, or the 'Held' message might get displayed in the battle text despite the creature not actually being held. This is a very common error, and was not limited creatures, but items and spells as well. The basic idea behind this patch is that it checks for these supplementary immunities, and adds them if they're not present. (One exception: portrait icon effects are ignored on creatures and undroppable items, as the party will never see these portrait icons.) This fix combines several smaller fixes and expands them:

• Negative Plane Protection Doesn't Suppress All Level Drain Effects
• Confusion Immunity Doesn't Suppress All Confusion Effects
• Hold Immunity Doesn't Suppress All Hold Effects
• Fear Immunity Doesn't Suppress All Fear Effects
• Periapt of Proof Against Poison Not Preventing Poison Damage
• Creatures With Incomplete Spell Immunities
• Ring of Free Action Errors
• Inquisitor and Undead Hunter Hold Immunity Not Stopping All Effects
• Monks Get Fatigued From Haste Spell, Not Suppressing Nausea Icon
• (Minor) Globe of Invulnerability Fixes
• Poison Immunity Doesn't Suppress All Poison Effects
• Potion of Freedom Errors (partially replaced)
• Corthala Family Not Restricting Arcane Casting (partially replaced)
• Blackrazor Missing Many Effects (partially replaced)
• Ring of Gaxx Errors (partially replaced)
• Barbarian Rage and Berserker Enrage (partially replaced)

The immunities addressed and files patched as a result are as follows:

Free Action: Free action is supposed to provide immunity to haste, slow, hold, change in movement rate, entangle, web, and grease effects. It's also supposed to remove any of these effects (and their icons) that are currently active. You'll notice that these files also get patched in other batches to round out their full protections.

Files altered: blun30.itm, potn45.itm, ring09.itm, sper12.itm, sppr403.spl

Entangle: Entangle immunity should suppress the entangle icon and explicitly protect against entanglement spells. If not, a creature would be immune to the entangle itself, but still receive the armor class penalty for being entangled.

Slow: Slow immunity should suppress the slow icon as well as prevent 'slow' and 'slowed' from appearing in the text window. Slow immunity also adds explicit protections against slow spells--otherwise a slow immune creature would not be slowed, but still suffer the related AC and THAC0 penalties.

Poison: Poison immunity can come in two forms, either as a reducton of poison damage to zero or an immunity to the poison effect itself. Unfortunately neither by themselves actually confer full poison immunity, so they both must be added. Poison immunity should also suppress the poison and bleeding icons and display the protection from poison icon.

NPCs Joining High-Level Parties in SoA Would Join At Minimum Level

When one of the BioWare NPCs joins the party, the engine looks up which specific version of the creature to join the party in a table based on the PC's level. However, the table ended at level 25, so NPCs joining in SoA when the PC's level was higher than 25 would use their lowest-level version instead of their highest. The table is now extended so that they use their highest-level incarnation in these circumstances.

Under- and Overcharged Items

Items with special abilities have charges to use those abilities. They can be a total number (such as wands) or they can be of the form 'x per day' uses. Each item has a number of maximum charges set in its item file. When listed in containers, at stores, in a creature's inventory, or when created via dialogue/script, the game assigns the actual number of charges. By convention items sold in stores, items with x-per-day abilities, and items created by dialogue or scripting (for example, items forged by Cespenar or Cromwell) always come fully charged. Where this is not the case, these items are adjusted to be fully charged. A few examples of this already exist in the core fixes--the Items in Bags of Holding at Start of ToB Without Charges and Items Without Charges both address this issue for a handful of items. However, a broader review of charges was initiated and the fixes grouped under this umbrella. Some items were also found to be created with charges in excess of the listed maximum in their item file. The most egregious example is the Wand of Wonder, which came with 50 charges despite have a listed maximum of 10. This meant this 3,000 gp item was sellable for 15,000 gp.

Anomen Banter Fixes

Once Anomen is summoned home on the death of his sister, his second complaint about the matter (if you dawdle too long) does not fire because the proper variable is not set in his first complaint. His script can also cause another issue (due to action misordering) when he tries to complain about rescuing Garren Windspear's child. Worse, if you choose to cut a deal with Firkraag, Anomen will whine endlessly that you should rescue Garren's child, even though the child was killed when you made the deal. Anomen also has a comment on the dead NORH paladins in the Windspear Hills that often gets preempted by Garren Windspear's appearance. A slight delay is introduced to Garren in this circumstance to allow Anomen's banter, as it will not fire after Garren has his say.

Belmin Gergas 'No Valid Links' Dialogue Fix

If the player has a mod NPC or a multiplayer character that is elven, Belmin has no valid triggers (except for his one shot NPC banters). There are also issues with the Jaheira/Aerie/Viconia banters--if they're in the party but not valid for dialogue, or if the random number check fails, he will also have no valid banters. His triggers are adjusted so that he will always have something to say and generate this error.

Low-Reputation Parties Face NORH Paladins Too Often

When the party is at a low reputation, it can be attacked by paladins from the Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Once encountered, the paladins set a one day timer before they can possibly appear again. However, the variable name of the timer is the same as another variable used by the knights, meaning they respawn faster than originally intended (four hours instead of the intended 24). The variable name is changed so that the knights now operate on a 24-hour timer.

Reedle Missing Variable Checks

Reedle, a fishmonger in the bridge district, has dialogue about the skinner murders in the area. However, Reedle is still willing to discuss the murders as if they are ongoing even after the case is solved due to some missing variable checks in his dialogue triggers.

Arnolius Using Wrong Variable Scope

Arnolius, the fletcher right off the Promenade, uses area variables set to the Promenade rather than to his specific area. As the Promenade is the master area for his shop, it's unlikely that this would cause issues except under unlikely situations, but it is fixed nonetheless.

Trademeet Militia Wizard 'No Valid Links' Dialogue Fix

In the Trademeet tavern, representatives of the two dueling families can have a fight. After one (or both) are dead, a militia wizard appears. If one of the two duelists is still alive, they'll initiate dialogue. In the process of the dialogue, they increment a variable that leaves the wizard with no valid dialogue. The wizard now checks his own unique variable so he'll properly comment on the duel and the families.

Viekang in Trademeet Initiates Dialogue Twice

When he spots the PC in the Trademeet tavern, Viekang initiates dialogue, takes some lightning damage, and then tries to teleport away. However, Viekang's script is structured such that, if he takes any damage he'll initiate dialogue (essentially along the lines of 'why are you hurting me?') and teleport away. Presumably this is so he would teleport away if the party attacks him, but it also trips when he self-inflicts his lightning, resulting in two dialogues instead of one. Viekang will no longer initiate the second dialogue if he takes damage from his own lightning.

Invincible Bat in Bodhi's Lair

When entering Bodhi's Lair in Chapter Six, you initially encounter Valen. If you somehow kill Valen before she notices the party (for example, an invisible thief backstabbing and killing her in one blow), Del never changes out of bat form and will remain in the hallway as an invincible bat. Del relies on variables set in Valen's initial actions to trigger his transformation. He will now perform his normal actions if Valen is killed without seeing the party.

Guards Summoned Well After Containers Are Burgled

When you burgle certain locked containers, an invisible creature is created to determine whether or not you've been caught (i.e. 'you've been noticed, you hear someone summoning the guards'). Due to how the creature's script is structured, guards can be summoned if you leave the area and come back later, even if no one noticed the original crime. The script is now tightened to only behave as originally intended.

Extra Journal Entry for Illithid Doors

When you are trapped by the illithid in their Underdark lair, you encounter doors that either require you to transform into the slayer or to use one of the illithid to open them for you. When you first encounter one of these doors, they set a journal entry that is erased when the door is opened. However, if you open the doors quickly enough these script blocks can fire in reverse order, resulting in a journal entry that will remain forever. An additional check is added to prevent the journal entry if the door is already opened.

Ice Mephit in Opening Dungeon Missing Script

Door in de'Arnise Keep is Offset From Actual Door

If the PC acquires Nalia's Keep, the interior areas all change area files. In the stronghold version of the ground floor, the secret entrance that the party originally used to enter the Keep has an error--the travel trigger is actually over a solid wall, rather than over the door itself. The travel trigger is now properly over the door, as it is in the non-stronghold version of the area.

Regular Door in Saradush Flagged as Secret

In the militia headquarters in Saradush, the area re-uses a generic tavern area (same as the Crooked Crane and the Bynnlaw brothel's lobby). The area has a door hidden in the wall, and when used elsewhere this is indeed a secret door. However, it's a normal door in the militia headquarters--it's opened and used in the cutscene that triggers when you first enter the area--but still flagged as secret. This means you'll still hear the sound for detecting secret doors when you approach it, despite it being open.

Fear Effect in Hell Trials Causes Spurious Magic Resistance Message

In the fear trials in hell, the party can be affected by fear. The spell bypasses magic resistance, but one of the cosmetic effects (the sound that plays when the fear expires) is not set to bypass magic resistance. This results in a spurious 'magic resistance' message if the target passes their magic resistance check, even though they still suffer all of the effects of the spell.

Cutscene Spell Allows Save

One of the spells in the opening Promenade cutscene allows a save against a cosmetic visual. The spell, a petrification, is supposed to always work and hence the save is spurious; all it does is sometimes prevent the spell graphics from playing over its shadow thief target. The save chance is removed to force this animation to always play.

The fanatics that try to burn Viconia at the stake can still kill her even after she's freed. Under moderately rare circumstances, initiating dialogue with the fanatics after you've freed Viconia can cause them to proceed as if she's still tied up, killing her instantly.

Limited Wish Quest Issues if Started Via Unusual Means

If the party casts (Limited) Wish via a projected image, the scroll given to start the quest is given to the image with no way for the party to recover it short of killing the image. The scroll is now always given to the PC, regardless of the summoner.

Jaheira Does Not Recognize She's Been Freed

In the opening dungeon, Jaheira starts a dialogue after her cell door has been opened to discuss plans now that she's free. However, if the player initiates this dialogue instead, she may not realize she's free and will instead tell the PC to hurry up and find the key despite the open cell door. Her dialogue now properly recognizes her freedom regardless of who initiates the conversation.

Exploit of Invincible Imoen in the Opening Dungeon

For plot continuity, in the opening dungeon Imoen's belt has secret powers which make her unkillable. If she ever drops to one hit point, she leaves the party and flees to the surface. However, under certain circumstances she can be quickly healed and forced to rejoin the party--with her invincibility item, this allows the party to trot her into every room and soak up damage without ever dying. This exploit is closed.

Mekrath Not Clearing Journal Entries

Mekrath can send the party on a mission to retrieve a mirror from an imp and sets a journal entry to go with it. After completing the mission, under certain dialogue branches, Mekrath was not clearing the journal entry. Similarly, if the party later decides to simply kill Mekrath the journal entry would remain. Both os these instances are now fixed.

Hostile Aledrian Doesn't Do Anything

Aledrian, the shopkeeper upstairs in Gaelan Bayle's home, goes hostile if you work for Bodhi. However, a typo in the area script was making him stand there and stutter instead of doing anything.

Game Broken if Saved During Bodhi's Spawn

At the end of chapter three, you confront Bodhi and her vampires if you side with the shadow thieves. A bug could occur if the game was saved after you staked the last of Bodhi's vampire lieutenants but before Bodhi herself appeared. Bodhi would never spawn, making the chapter (and by extension, the game) imposible to complete. The actions in Bodhi's spawn have been reordered to prevent this from occurring.

Ust Natha Cutscene Could Occur Offscreen

On the upper levels of Ust Natha, a drow priestess tries to push through some duergar in a cutscene. However, due to the odd nature of the trigger here, this cutscene could occur entirely offscreen with few, if any, of the actors visible. The net result is that the game could go into cutscene mode and the player have no idea as to why. When this cutscene is triggered, the screen will now be moved to the scene and the fog of war removed so that the player can see this interaction.

Ring of Djinni Summoning Not Always Disappearing on Death of Djinni

Per its description, the ring of djinni summoning is supposed to disappear if the summoned djinni dies. However, the ring would only disappear if the djinni's hit points were reduced to zero and was not accounting for other ways to die (i.e. level drained to zero, disintegrated, etc.) The ring should now disappear if the djinni is killed via any means.

Bug with Valygar in Party with a Hostile Hervo

Valygar goes hostile if you abuse his housekeeper Hervo in any way. However, the script to make this occur was not first dropping Valygar out of the party, meaning he would go hostile, but remain in the party and just stand there. He now properly leaves the party first.

Devas Using Wrong Script, Spell Errors

Fallen devas have their own script but were instead using the script of normal devas. This causes the devas to behave slightly differently in their combat scripting and properly display different effects when they perish. A discrepancy between the number of spells memorized between devas and fallen devas is also fixed.

Hostile Planetars Using Wrong Script

If you summon a hostile planetar via a wish spell, it used the same script as a summoned planetar which would cause it to cast beneficial spells on the party despite being hostile. This has been changed to use its intended, hostile script.

Items and Spells Not Interacting Properly with Spell Immunities and Protections

There are numerous items and spells which either protect from or reflect spells up to a certain level. However, many effects and spells could be erroneously deflected or bypass these protections because of bad parameters in their effects, known as power levels. Power level is what actually determines how effects interact with spell protections. For the most part the effects with errors were cosmetic, but there are some notable exceptions--for example, the Short Sword of Mask is supposed to entangle its target on a hit, but it would be blocked by spell protections, or even reflected.
