WTP Familiars (revised Find Familiar spell)

[Bartimaeus]

@John Fat

2.1 is the only version that supports EET, as @flamewing made a specifically EET-compatible version (as Salk does not play on the EEs). I actually looked into updating the EE branch, but doing a comparison of Salk's 2.1 vs. flamewing's 2.1 made me realize it was a taller order than I anticipated, and as I don't play on the EEs either, I unfortunately said forget about it, .

Ah, thank you.

I'm on EET so if unable to assist no worries, but figured I'd ask anyway incase my issue is something you've come across and fixed already in non EE version. I love the more familiar options and familiars leveling up with character. I'm using the spider. over all seems to be working fine, up[ until I leveled up to level 3. I did not immediately speak to my spider (idk if that would matter or not). When I do speak to him to ask him what he's learned now the game semi freezes. I become unable to select PC or any party members. I can control my familiar, but no one else. seems almost like a cut scene that got stuck.

 

just trying different things I'f i let my familiar die and summon a new one it levels to level 3 just fine. but I like the spider I have now. :(

 

If you had any suggestions i'd happily try them.

 

Thank you

Hello Thrawn.

Sorry for the delay in my answer but I have not been around much the latest month. Unfortunately my modification does not support EE and the ported version is not recommended because I fixed critical issues later. The only version that is safe to play is the latest (2.5).

Porting to EE should be quite a mundane matter but I honestly don't even own BG2:EE and couldn't do any testing myself.

Golem might be of some help.

no worries. just thought I would ask on the chance it was known problem with an easy fix. Only have the EE games so I will keep on the lookout if someone ports the current version. For now I like it enough to accept some issues to have my spider familiar. ty for mod!

A bit late, but... I updated the EE version uo to 2.5. I also fixed a few minor issues in the conversion I had not noticed until now, and combined several large ORs with StateChecks to use bitmasks, a la BG2 FixPack.

Thanks for your updated port, flamewing.

Much appreciated!

[flamewing]

I created a minor update:

• Added support for Linux and OSX by lowercasing all file names and using WeiDU's HANDLE_AUDIO for ogg conversion
• Enabling experimental IWDEE support
• A few script improvements

@flamewing
What would be involved to add @Salk's WTP Familiar updates to your mod, at least as options?  I ask as someone unfamiliar with each mod version.

[Salk]

@Endarire,

flamewing's version is up to date and includes all the latest fixes/improvements.

Hello

I think its bugged a little, in v2.6 on bgee familiars dont get any HP before lvl10, when level it show that 4HP has been added but familiars still have only 4 hitpoints

[Salk]

@flamewingcan you please check Guest Maciek's bug report?

I cannot test it on BG:EE and I have never experienced that kind of issue before using my own version on classic BG.

[flamewing]

I can, yes, but I will have to reinstall the game.
