0x2 Awaken

[Avenger]

This effect is buggy in BG2 (probably in BG1 too), but it works in the Blackisle line (HoW/IWD2).

 

The effect is supposed to remove the sleep effect and state, but it removes only the state. Removing the state would only work in case of a permanent effect (where the effect goes away, and only the preset base state remains).

The effect removes 0x2 (Awaken) effects instead of 0x27 (Sleep) effects.

It seems to be a plain programming error where Awaken removes Awaken instead of Sleep. It would be easy to patch it, one just needs to overwrite 2 bytes to make this effect work (a couple of years ago in dltc we couldn't cope with this).

If anyone cares with .exe level fixpacking, i could supply the offsets.

The offsets for ToB:

0x4035F4 (0x2) --> (0x27)

0x40362C (0x2) --> (0x27)

Was playing around with this. Funny, I had to fish the offsets from my ToB, since yours didn't match mine.

 

0x5035F3

0x50362B

 

I was wondering whether this effect might interrupt a creature's action, particularly if the creature isn't already under the sleep effect. Any other side effects that might occur?

 

EDIT: Sorry, wrong offsets. I believe you've used decompiled offsets. So did I. Correct ones should be

 

0x1035F4

0x10362C

1. Yes, i forgot to subtract the base offset from those positions.

 

2. No side effects for creatures not affected by sleep.

 

Opcodes rarely interrupt actions, maybe only damage/death style opcodes do.

I'd really like to have Cure Sleep working as it should...but i can't understand what i'm supposed to do...

COPY_EXISTING ~bgmain.exe~ ~bgmain.exe~
 PATCH_FOR_EACH "of" IN 0x1035f4 0x10362c BEGIN
READ_BYTE "of" "val"
PATCH_IF ("val" = 0x2) THEN BEGIN
  WRITE_BYTE "of" 0x27
END ELSE BEGIN
  INNER_ACTION BEGIN
	FAIL ~Unknown opcode location~
  END
END
 END

Thanx it works!
