Question on keeping parts of changes and compatibility

[ManBearPig]

1) Is the mod compatible with EE?

2) Does anyone know if there is a somewhat easy way to alter the saving throw revisions in the mod without altering the spell function and vise versa? IE, if I wanted to keep the original functionality of flame arrow or lightning bolt but also wanted to keep the new altered saving throw? Or conversely, if I wanted to keep the new functionality of either Bigby's spell but without the -6 to the saving throw? I know I can comment out the spell changes in the text file but I think this also removes the saving throw changes as well. Correct me if I'm wrong.

3) On a related note with saving throws, if I wanted to reduce some of the higher level spell saving throw penalties from -6 to -4 (as is discussed in the v4 thread), is there a simple way to do so?

 

... I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered previously.

1) Not yet, the next release will.

2) For SR spells the save penalty is part of the spell itself, not a actual separate system. There's a tweak available within TweakPack though which might do what you wish in terms of save penalties, but it should not be used with SR.

3) I guess it would be relatively easy to do with a weidu code, else you should open the spl files with NI or DLTCEP and manually editing it. It's really easy to do, but kinda time consuming.

1) Make a txt file in your game directory, copy the code inside and save as setup-mymod.tp2

2) Download the latest version of WeiDU from www.weidu.org, put weidu.exe into your game directory

3) Rename weidu.exe to setup-mymod.exe and run

Mymod - you can use any other name, if you please
