But I think we can put these creature patches out to pasture.

Five seconds after posting I realize I'd forgotten to check scripts for ChangeAnimation(). Sigh. I'll fix it later.

 

/edit

 

Alright. Later is now.

[devSin]

Enough with the codeboxes already!

 

In any case, excepting the ChangeAnimation(NoEffect)?() guys, that looks about right. Isn't UDGIRL part of the drow transformation (UDMAN is the male version)?

 

Doesn't MoveGlobal(Object)?() take a script name (i.e., you're not getting anything useful checking it)?

[Nythrun]

Yes to udgirl, I need to go a level deeper on the .eff check.

 

MoveGlobalObject is a shoddy hack to catch the familiars - probably easier to fix them by hand.

[devSin]

Yeah, or you could just check FAMxyz && FAMxyz25 (IIRC, the real ones are the only ones that got ToB versions). No FAMRAD25 or anything, so FAMRAD must be BAD.

c6kach2.cre

 

This creature should actually appear in the unmodded game, but due to a script/dialogue bug it doesn't.

 

Basically, c6kach2.cre is supposed to be the turned version of Kachiko i.e. after she gets dominated and bitten by a vampire. IIRC, I've fixed this in RR a long time ago, but I'm at work now and I don't have access to all the relevant files, so I'll post more on this later.

[aVENGER_(RR)]

My bad, c6kach2.cre is truly unused in the unmodded game.

 

Long ago, when I first thought of improving the Shadow Thief allies which come to the party's aid during the fight with Bodhi in Chapter 6, I noticed that Arkanis had an unused dialogue line which referred to Kachiko being killed and subsequently turned into a vampire. For a while, I thought about restoring that sequence, but ultimately, I abandoned the idea. Presumably, c6kach2.cre was to be used there:

 

Wh-what?! Kachiko! But... but she just died! If the dead can be turned so quickly by this creature, we must defeat her, <CHARNAME>, we must!!

[CamDawg]

Some of these are in the monster/animal summoning 2das as well as spawngrp.2da (which I'm pretty sure isn't used in BG2, but still).

 

I can also vouch that some of these are indeed used--firamb05.cre is the dead version of troll firamb03.cre (via firamb03.bcs) in Firkraag's dungeon, ar1202.

Yeah, Tanova is supposed to bite her and then change her into the bad Kachiko. I have a truly ugly restoration for it.

 

Some of these are in the monster/animal summoning 2das as well as spawngrp.2da (which I'm pretty sure isn't used in BG2, but still).

I looked into the code and saw some 2DA references, but yeah, looking at the list again, things like HOBGOBSU and KOBOLDSU should be used.

 

Come again? SPAWNGRP is most definitely used... there are columns that are never referenced, however (I had a list once of all the groups that are actually used and the ones that are junk).

[Nythrun]

List pared down again to handle spawngrp entries correctly and to not blunder over summon monster effects without an explicit .2da call. It's pretty close now.

 

While this is about as low as priorities go, I'd not mind taking a walk through the remainder of the fixpack at some point and snipping out unused references.

 

No kind of pressing import
