Version 28 of Sword Coast Stratagems released

[bholland]

I installed the component where you go from SoA to Watchers Keep and it didn't actually happen. Also, I don't think the Irenicus battle was correct. I installed that thing where you kill him once and then the dragon etc will show up. That did not happen either. I could post the WeiDu log but I don't know if it would help. Anyway, if you need anything, PM me. Actually, I still have an intact final save with my setup. I don't know if it would help though as my game has a fair amount of modding.

I re-installed and the problem is gone. Probably me doing something silly

 

After installing the SCS mod I cannot start the BGII:EE app on my mac . I get the error

 

INFO: Creating DPWrapper

Bus error: 10

 

I did NOT install anything from the tweaks mod, I did download it, I just did not see anything i wanted, I answered No to all questions. Was that my error, is something needed from ??

Mod seems to be working on my MacBook Air with BG:EE . Makes the game a challenge again, to easy without it!

Flesh golems at Thalantyr's:

1) They're hostile until you first talk to the mage. After that, they turn blue. Not sure if this is vanilla behaviour.

2) They drink potions.

This is vanilla behavior.

 

2) They drink potions.

 

This instead is not.

There seem to be errors in this release related to naming conventions between game versions. From the beginning the initialise component requires avaricem.cre which I think is named _varicem.cre in EasyTutu_ToB as soon as I fixed that the next component 'standardised spells' errored out looking to copy inn3351.sto when with Tutu I believe it should be trying to copy _inn3351.sto. Some other entries in that same component didn't seem correct at a glance for the same reason. I changed three or so entries calling sto0703 to _sto0703 before the component installed without a hitch.

 

Also on my first few tries I had problems patching IPLOT01K, IPLOT04H, IPLOT04I and IPLOT04G.ITM files when installed alongside other mods, but didn't notice a problem when trying to install SCS alone. Just deleted these 0 byte files to get the mod past this point. Haven't seen this error since though, been installing many different mods and components for testing purposes lately maybe it was a conflict I didn't pick up on

 

Install failed when I got to Smarter General AI, couldn't find resource _ZOMBISU.CRE to copy. I can't find any reference to this creature file which I assume is a summoned zombie, on the net, in these forums, or in my game files, gave up looking.

 

After many installs finally narrowed down my weidu.log could be a conflict with BG1 summoning spells component in Tutufix but not sure where. Smarter General AI fails on my pc consistently when only these components are installed but succeeds when it is not.

 

does anyone else have serious problems trying to type posts on this forum? it's not my keyboard I can type fine everywhere else but here I'm having a lot of trouble with selecting text, I'm unable to copy/paste. have to type extremely slowly to prevent letters dropping out of words

[LucklessCebu]

One minor bit of inaccurate text with arrows: masterwork arrows claim to have a +1 damage bonus in the description (this is with a trilogy install and v28 SCS, if any of that makes a difference). The damage is actually just the correct 1d6 (according to Near Infinity), but the description harkens back to vanilla BG1 arrows.

 

Also: thank you for Sword Coast Strategems. It is amazing.

For people having trouble with "Breach not affecting Liches" even with relative component installed, here's a hotfix link. Drop the file into your override after installing SCS.

[AnonymousHero]

First off thanks for this great version of a fantastic mod. During a few playthroughs I've foudn a few issues that I think may deserve your attention:

• Door-opening:While the enemies being clever enough to actually open doors is a much appreciated addition, I don't think friendly creatures (specifically Planetars) should do so. It a leads to highly annoying behavior when the summon can see a door but cannot see any enemies -- every "tick" it will counteract any movement commands you issue. It can also trigger traps (e.g. in Firkraag's dungeon) which is very problematic since there may be area traps which can damage the owner -- I can just imagine how annoying it would be to have a no-reload end this way .
  
• Some (all?) summons which are damaged (but immune to the damage) by AoE act as if hostile, but have green circles. This is easy to reproduce: just throw a Fireball at some Mordenkainen's Swords. I guess you could argue the turn hostile yes/no question either way, but if you (DavidW) want them to turn hostile, then they should turn red so that e.g. ADHW works on them. I'd prefer that they don't turn hostile, but reasonable people can disagree .
  
• The "follow player everywhere" behavior of some summons (e.g. Mordenkainen's Swords) is actually detrimental (and highly annoying) for my personal playstyle -- is there any chance of an option to turn this off? I used to be a fan of this, but given that they can actually displace the player and can wreck any precise positioning, I've really started to dislike it since I became a no-reload solo player.

Using v28 I can't seem to get consistent results with picking proficiencies for Imoen when she joins in EasyTutu_ToB. Sometimes she levels back to 0 sometimes she doesn't. Fixed by finding %tutu_var%imoen in npc_proficiencies.tpa and changing it to %tutu_var%imoen1

 

Shar-Teel and Ajantis fail to destroy the faux-magical +2 longsword that npc proficiencies equips them with when they join. I'm worse at bg scripting than weidu so I'm not sure how to fix them

 

I have a problem with summoning a genie which then turns hostile because it takes damage from it's own fireball. I am only assuming this is related to scs ai because I haven't seen it with my other mods before I updated to v28

Here's another long-standing one:

 

In the Dream where you meet the stat-draining demon, Bhaal's avatar doesn't seem to follow through the door. (This is a long-standing issue, sorry about not reporting it before.)

 

This can be fixed by

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("ppbhaal")

but it's a bit annoying and hard to remember (hency my putting in this post, hopefully the archive search is better than my memory!).

 

(PS: This forum software sucks. WTH can't it tell me that I cannot post without logging in before I've typed my friggin' post. Sigh.)

 

EDIT: Frustration and grammar.

SCS 28 is seriously not compatible with EasyTutu. I've been trying to install this, working slowly through the errors, but there are filename differences (as mentioned previously) that keep stopping the installation.

 

Examples:

• avaricem = _varicem
  
• inn3351 = _inn3351
  
• sto0703 = _sto0703
  

But I've just encountered a weird one.

 

Resource [_zombisu.cre] not found in KEY file:
ERROR: Failure("resource [_zombisu.cre] not found for 'COPY'")

 

I've searched every file for the string "zombisu," but it's nowhere to be found.

 

Ugh.

[Salk]

If you attempt to install "Smarter Mages" without "HLAs for spellcasters", the installation fails on the missing file "stratagems_external/workspace/hla_cre.2da" (apparently).

 

Also, (once that's fixed) "Smarter Mages" fails to install on one of my systems because "stratagems_external/workspace/ssl_out/dw#send8.baf" contains the string "scsspellsubstitute2" in the trigger block. This is on Linux, with Fixpack, components 0 and 3 and SCS, components 1000, 5900, 6000, 6040, 6510, 6020 (in that order). Edit: this appears to be because %scsroot%/priest/ssl/bg2/meleeblocks/standard_priest.ssl contains "scsspellsubstitute2" but dw#send8.ssl does not appear to define that variable in the scope in which standard_priest.ssl is included.

 

I just wanted to confirm this critical error. Same things happen to me.

.....ERROR: Failure("resource [_zombisu.cre] not found for 'COPY'")[/code]

 

I've searched every file for the string "zombisu," but it's nowhere to be found.

 

Ugh.

 

I stumbled upon a similar issue, with _dogwasu instead of zombisu. There are a few dogwa in stratagems' code and Near Infinity knows about both a dogwasu.cre and a _dogwa.cre (both in override). I can't find any zombisu in Near Infinity though. Puzzled!

Hello All,

Firstly big thank you for the creation of this amazing gem, makes the game properly challenging again.

 

So possibly a bug report or maybe you guys can tell me whats going wrong here.

 

Just installed v28 over a fresh copy of BG2:EE and so far everything has been great, playing as a mage and have just recently got the stronghold. (not sure if this is related)

 

Have started summoning elementals to fights recently and have noticed wierd behaviour. Been a long time since i played Vanilla but i seem to remember you have a battle of wits with them and if you win you gain complete control of the elemental if you win or hostile if you don't. The behavior i see now is that if the battle is won the Elemental stays blue instead of green and has a talk icon over it instead of being selectable, furthermore the elemental summon follows my party around but does not fight.

 

Have tested this on all elemental summons, lvl 5's and 6's. Im not too knowlageable on getting a log but can provide it if its explained to me how to do so.

 

Thanks again for this amazing mod. (hope this is the right place to post this)
