Opcode #283 - Use EFF File (II)

[Guest Guest]

I have a character with an innate immunity to blindness (no need for explanation) who was successfully blinded by the Talons effect when using the Deck of Many Things. I checked in Shadow Keeper and DLTCEP to see how it could happen and noticed something.

 

The opcode affecting the character was 0x011B (#283), which is listed as Use EFF File (II) in the IESDP. The EFF file used is DECK613, which uses opcode #74 (Blindness). The character has Protection: from Opcode 74 already, yet the effect managed to blind him.

 

I suspect that opcode #283 ignores immunities. Assuming this hasn't been tested and discussed already, in which case I overlooked the thread, is anyone willing to test this?

Oops! I forgot to mention this is using BG2 + TOB with the latest official patch (in case it's not obvious from me mentioning the Deck).

I saw this mentioned somewhere already. Isn't it in DLTCEP's effect description.

According to: http://www.gibberlings3.net/iesdp/opcodes/bg2tob.htm

 

All the IESDP says is that #283 might ignore saving throws. If this is an old link and there's a more recent version somewhere else, let me know.

 

 

 

 

#177 (0xb1) Use EFF File [177]

Parameter #1: IDS Entry

Parameter #2: IDS File

Description:

Applies the eff file specified by the resource key to the

targetted creature(s), if the targetted creature(s) match

the value specified by the 'IDS Entry' field, in the specified

'IDS File'.

NB. When using an eff to alter thac0/dmg bonus, set param1

= 0, and param2 = 2.

Parameter #2: IDS File

Description:

Applies the eff file specified by the resource key to the

the 'IDS Entry' in the specified 'IDS File'

 

The possible difference from #177 is that this effect ignores

saving throws

I've tested this and #283 does NOT ignore immunities in BG2. I'll test the others later.

I tested this a while ago, and also found the effect did not ignore immunities.

I'll test again before the next update, just to be sure though, as it would be kind of cool.
