please help! wondering if a mod is causing this issue

[meldiocre]

Hiya, first time posting, kind of a noob to the D&D community games based on it, so apologies in advance. I have the BGT-weidu mod, a fixpack (not sure which one) and a tweaks pack (again not sure which one.) Wondering if anything from gibberlings could be causing my Swashbuckler to not be able to equip the Rashad's Talon I found in Durlag's Tower? I'm going with a dual scimitar build so I'd really like to be able to equip it.

 

The item has a 'red' background indicating that it can't be used by me, but I meet the strength and class requirements. Any ideas? :s

i think i replied to you over at SHS. course there it wasn't stated what type of game you were playing...

 

BGT should have corrected this in it's conversion at least that's what it's documentation says.

SW1H20, SW1H22, SW1H23: Thief scimitar usability fix

the sw1h23 is the particular scimitar you are talking about

 

I don't have BGT currently installed (never did to be honest) so I can't speak on this any more except that the only change to the file in BGT's code that I saw was this:

COPY_EXISTING ~SW1H20.ITM~ ~override~
		  ~SW1H22.ITM~ ~override~
		  ~SW1H23.ITM~ ~override~
WRITE_BYTE 0x2b 0x02   //setting unusable flag for beastmaster
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

and it says nothing about fixing for thieves to use.... that would be done using code more like this:

// Allows Thieves to use scimitars
COPY_EXISTING ~sw1h20.itm~ ~override~
		   ~sw1h22.itm~ ~override~
		   ~sw1h23.itm~ ~override~
 READ_BYTE 0x20 "unusable3"
 WRITE_BYTE 0x20 ("%unusable3%" BAND 0b10110111)
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

I recommend going back to SHS and linking to this thread here and continuing the discussion at SHS where BGT's more knowledgeable people tend to hang out

 

it would also help if you could recall what mods you did have installed. Hopefully they were weidu mods and you have a weidu.log file in your game directory. You'll be able to get even more help if you could post the contents of your weidu.log file
