Bug reports in v30

[agb1]

Committed to BWF. Thanks!

& the game crashes a moment after that screenshot?

 

I'll have another look. (Don't hold your breath, though; in the short run the best workaround is just to CTRL-Y him)

I've had the same bug, and I think I've seen it reported on beamdog forums too. I haven't been able to pinpoint what it was - casting the spell, animal summons or the other druid appearing, though.

 

 

Btw, just wanted to say thank you for your hard work! As someone with non-existent computer-related skills I really appreciate the effort modders make BG a great experience even after all this years. :-)

DavidW -

I've had the same problem with the Osmadi encounter as others. Sometimes it crashes. Sometimes not. Here is a link to a save game. The only mod loaded is SCS:

I recorded a screen capture while testing and saved the last frame before crash-to-desktop.

Osmadi wasn't casting a spell. Looking at the crash report, I did see something interesting, it crashed while doing a SelectWeaponAbility action.

I noted the Osmadi had Backbiter, SPER03.ITM. I did a little tweak to replace SPER03 with SPER01 (just made a copy of SPER01, renamed it SPER03, and dropped it in the override). So far, I haven't had a crash since.

Fwiw, I can also say that Osmadi will crash the game on Revisions install; crash happens instantly after his buff sequence.

[DavidW]

with or without SCS?

[kreso]

With SCS.

[kreso]

Also, it seems that it's like AstroBryGuy says above. The problem seems to be in the fact that Backbiter spear has "cursed" flag on it. If it's not flagged as such, Osmadi works fine.

[DavidW]

I suspected something like that, though I haven't had a chance to test. Something funny probably happens when you do a forced weapon shift on a cursed weapon.

 

Ideally Osmadi ought to be blocked from doing weapon-swaps, since he's presumably cursed. If I can't do that conveniently I'll just put it in inventory.

 

Thanks to all for help finding this.

2 more:

- in latest SR, HLAs are considered innates per default, so take this into consideration

- clerical spell Gate is changed in SR (summons a Death Knight); but SCS tweaks this to call in a Pit Fiend. Which is bad.

Compatibility fixes rather than bugfixes; but noted in any case.

[edgymaster]

How soon the new version will be released? Can we hope for further AI improvements or it will be mostly bugfixes?

[DavidW]

No idea. Mostly bugfixes, not entirely.

[chimaera]

This is completely off topic - apologies for that, but I didn't want to start a new topic just for this one question - but is there any chance for the "SCS in IWDEE" in some distant future?

[DavidW]

Some chance, yes. Don't hold your breath.

There appears to be an issue with the component "Improved fiends -> Fiends have about 50 percent more hit points than normal: v30 BWP fix + K4thos' EET compatibility + kreso's Spell Revisions compatibility". From what I could find out it seems to overwrite any changes made by previous mods to the script DEMOGOR2.BCS.

You can find out more in this and following posts.
