Guest Dave Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi, is there a way to disable the blur effect of the cloak of displacement? There is an option in SCS. Unfortunately there seems to be no option for that in SCS II. The blur effect is quite annoying, so please help... Link to comment

Unfortunately there seems to be no option for that in SCS II. The blur effect is quite annoying, so please help... I'll try to remember to include one for the next version. Till then, here's a crude workaround: (i) take some random file (a txt file will do fine), move it to the bg2/override folder, and rename it "bg1movie.bif". (ii) install SCS (not SCS II). The "bg1movie.bif" will fool SCS into thinking you're running Baldur's Gate Trilogy (iii) install the SCS component that disables the blur effect. Link to comment

SCS seems to be to clever to let you fool it that way Do you know another way of getting rid of that blur effect? I have installed SoA + ToB + Fixpack v6 + Tweakpack v7 + SCS II Link to comment

I have installed SoA + ToB + Fixpack v6 + Tweakpack v7 + SCS II Open setup-scsii.tp2 in a text editor, and add the following at the end: BEGIN ~Remove blur effect from cloak of displacement~ DESIGNATED 99999 COPY_EXISTING ~%tutu_var%clck03.itm~ ~override~ READ_LONG 0x64 "abil_off" READ_SHORT 0x68 "abil_num" READ_LONG 0x6a "fx_off" READ_SHORT 0x70 "fx_num" FOR (index2 = 0; index2 < fx_num; index2 = index2 + 1) BEGIN READ_SHORT ("%fx_off%" + (0x30 * "%index2%")) "opcode" PATCH_IF ("%opcode%" = 65) BEGIN DELETE_BYTES ("%fx_off%" + (0x30 * "%index2%")) 0x30 // delete effect SET "fx_num" = "%fx_num%" - 1 WRITE_SHORT 0x70 "%fx_num%" // adjusts global fx number SET "index" = "%fx_num%" // kills loop END END BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES Then run SCS II. There should be a new component which gets rid of the cloak. Link to comment

Delete the string %tutu_var% from the first line of the code. Link to comment
