Starting XP for BGII + BGT

[rem5]

Hello,

 

First, thank you for gemrb, without it I certainly never played BG !

 

 

I have installed gemrb (0.7.1) + BGT (115) and when I want tou start a new BGII game my XP is at 250000.

 

 

With new BG1 game it started at 89000 but it can be easily corrected with override. But I can't find why it star at 250000 ??

 

 

PS : tried to change XP via clskills.2da with 89000 replaced by 0 but no luck...

tested with gemrb 0.7.0 and BGT 114..same...

 

 

 

I suspect you'll have some good suggestion

That's the tob starting xp a few columns later. If you're really not starting tob (I don't believe you ), but soa, change that value as well.

[rem5]

I will try to modify that and report but, I try to star TOB and it start with XP=0....

[rem5]

Yes it works

 

just in case, I join gemrb log

GemRB.txt

Hmm, I wonder how BGT works on GemRB...

[rem5]

Latest BGT release notes (115) gave me hope

 

- Added experience patch compatibility for GemRB and Mac platforms

BGT has always worked fine with gemrb. (well as fine as can be expected)

 

the only caveat i knew of was having to edit a gemrb 2da override to have starting XP of 0. I havent tested, but i guess BGT will do that for you now???

[rem5]

clearly there is always this caveat with XP

[rem5]

you can have XP=0, 89000 or 250000 easily with import character and select the good one.

 

but If you made the character :

 

BG1, XP=89000

BG2(SOA)=250000

BG2(TOB)=250000

 

I've just redone the test as I've had maybe selected pre made charaters

 

so the only good starting XP seems to be for TOB

 

I'll edit again clskills.2da and discover BGII

[rem5]

When editing clskills.2da file with STARTXP2 = 89000

 

BG1 : not tested...

BG2 SOA : 89000

BG2 TOB : 89000

The xp is fine in normal games, so our tob detection routine is not good enough for this case. I can't see why though, because not only it checks for specific files but also which button you pressed when entering the game. You can't screw that up without changing gemrb.

 

The Imoen bit does sound like a BGT issue.

[rem5]

ok, however, easily correctable so not really a problem, but if you want me to test somthing or send somme log, go ahead

 

yes I think so too for imoen so will delete that, here !

 

in any case, thank you !
