Version 18 released

... That's intentional. Improved shapeshifting is supposed to replace standard shapeshifting, not supplement it.

 

Ug. Thanks for the reply, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. I understand now how the improved shapeshifting works and what those funky little paws in your inventory are for

Found out the following. After installing the component "More sensible choices of weapon proficiencies and kits for fighters (also fixes some errors in fighter stats)" some creature items diappear. Example: before and after.

This doesn't happen on my install. Can you do a --change-log on refigh01.cre?

[ScuD]

So the CRE file before and after the component is not enough?? OK, here's the change log:

Looked up at the second file more closely - it is actually messed up.

Looked up at the second file more closely - it is actually messed up.

 

I know it's messed up. I have looked at it. But the file on my install is not messed up, so just seeing the file doesn't really help me work out what the cause is.

 

My install is Fixpacked, so I assume the problem is an interaction with Check the Bodies. At a guess, the file is messed up by CtB in some way that's harmless in itself but causes problems when another mod tries to edit it. But I'm at work atm so can't check in an editor.

[ScuD]

Here's the code from CtB affecting the CRE. I'm trying to figure out what it was meant for

COPY_EXISTING ~REFIGH01.CRE~	   ~override~
READ_LONG  0x2a0  "known_spells_offset"
READ_LONG  0x2a4  "known_spells_num"

  READ_ASCII ("%items_offset%"+0x14*cnt)  "name"
  PATCH_IF ( ("%name%" STRING_COMPARE_CASE "CBCLKSCP")=0 ) BEGIN

  END

  SET "info_ext"=0x14

  WRITE_SHORT offset "%items_num%"			 //equip item
END
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

Edit: Well, looks like it simply checks if the creature already has the cloak and adds it if not. Surely it can be done easier.

Edit 2: Well, much easier

COPY_EXISTING ~REFIGH01.CRE~	   ~override~
 ADD_CRE_ITEM ~CBCLKSCP~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~CLOAK~ EQUIP
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

[DavidW]

Yep, that code's buggy, and it messes up the offsets in REFIGH01.cre. Check the file in NI: you'll see that the effects offset (i.e. where the effects, like proficiencies, live) is set to 0x3f8, which is in the middle of the list of items. SCS tries to add an effect at that location, and hilarity (and corruption of items) ensues.

 

You'll need to chase it up with whoever maintains CtB these days.

 

Incidentally, your code might leave REFIGH01.cre with two cloaks. You'd do better to go with

 

COPY_EXISTING ~REFIGH01.CRE~	   ~override~
 REMOVE_CRE_ITEM ~CBCLKSCP~
 ADD_CRE_ITEM ~CBCLKSCP~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~CLOAK~ EQUIP
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

 

(Unless REFIGH01.cre already has two cloaks, of course. In that case, after the patch he'll have one rather than two. We can probably live with that )

[ScuD]

Looks like some work for Hoppy, he's the CtB caretaker Thank you!

@Wisp: something is a bit broken in Ribald's memorization offsets: "memorized spells" points to somewhere odd. SCSII is reading that somewhere odd, hoping to find a number between 0 and 9, and failing to. Is it possible something in Randomizer is setting the offset incorrectly?

David, how can i fix it locally to continue the installation?

@Wisp: something is a bit broken in Ribald's memorization offsets: "memorized spells" points to somewhere odd. SCSII is reading that somewhere odd, hoping to find a number between 0 and 9, and failing to. Is it possible something in Randomizer is setting the offset incorrectly?

Yeah, my bad. Item Randomiser decresed some offsets when it shouldn't have. The result was that SCSII's component 6015 ended up adding effects somewhere inside the table of memorised spells.

 

David, how can i fix it locally to continue the installation?

You can uninstall Item Randomiser. I'll also be uploading a hotfix today, if you'd rather take that route. Version 6.5 should hopefully follow shortly.
