Sword Coast Stratagems v31 Now Available


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sword Coast Stratagems is a collection of interconnected mini-mods for Baldur's Gate (on the BGT/BGTUTU/BGEE versions) and Baldur's Gate II. It is primarily a tactical and AI-enhancement mod: the idea is to make the game's combat more interesting, tactically challenging, and realistic by more effective use of, and choices of, creatures' abilities. It also contains a few rule tweaks and ease-of-use features. Version 31 is primarily a maintenance release to fix some longstanding bugs while DavidW works on the next version.

v31 Changelog

 

This version is a maintenance release, packaged by CamDawg, though the work is from others. ALIENQuake had colected a lot of these for BWS, and they were happily (and easily) integrated. Mad Mate also had another huge chunk of fixes, for which we were very grateful.

  • CamDawg provided the following fixes:
    • Updated Detectable Spells to the most recent version (v3.95). This should fix some miscellaneous installation errors.
    • Fixed the bug where the party could fail to be transported to the chessboard in Durlag's Tower in EE games
    • Fixed the crash with the druid Osmadi when he tried to shapeshift by removing his cursed item in EE games
  • One of the patches was broken; thanks to Ineth2 for the fix

  • AstroBryGuy provided the followiing fixes:
    • fixed the missing header for caster_shared.tph

    • updated the EET compatibility patch for Allow NPC pairs to separate
    • Updated Allow NPC pairs to separate to use the cpmvars libraries
    • Also fixed a bug where Allow NPC pairs to separate would fail on a standalone install due to a missing macro call
    • read_in_NPC_dialog macro is now ToB-aware
    • Removed redundant chunk of code
    • Updated Wheels of Prohecy compatibility code from v4 to v5
  • Etamin and Cahir updated the Polish translation; Bartek and Etamin did as well
  • Graoumf updated the French translation
  • Leonardo Watson provided an updated German translation
  • critto provided a fix for the Reduce the number of Arrows of Dispelling in stores component

    • SCS made copies of liches, but never installed the main lich from which copies should be made
    • The new realistic wolves only worked in Tutu games
    • Abazigal should now spawn Tamah if you use Ascension-based components
    • Some miscellaneous typos that prevented patches from being executed, plus other miscellaneous typos
    • Various assassins were not getting their stuff because of a typo
    • Scripting glitch that prevented Irenicus from acting in Ascenion games at the Throne of Bhaal
    • Schlumpsha did not receive the correct weapon
    • Scripts were added to the wrong hobgoblins
    • SCS was not properly detecting Spell Revisions
    • Melissan adjustments were not properly detecting Ascension
    • The wrong prebuff version of Blade Barrier was being called

Hey DavidW, is this "your" update or a community sanctioned update? Not sure if that's understood or not, but I remember you talking about it on another thread.

 

Besides that, it looks like I'll cancel my current 36 hour install to get this one instead!

Posted

DavidW, not sure I understood it correctly from the other thread, but for V32 you plan to revise all the fixes from v31, but may incorporate some of them in a different way, right? But you do plan tk incorporate all fixes (I'm especially concerns of EET compatibility)?

I haven't changed really anything in my install from where it was very slow to now it won't install at all.

SCS 31 Release is fine, you were unlucky enough to use master branch, now it's fixed and the proposed changes are outside master branch.

Sorry for being such a pest, but new install was going very well until this issue. The install is still ongoing and I', hoping a fix can be done manually, but if not I don't mind redoing it all again ;)

That "hardcoded" can only be because you're working off the master rather than the official release, because it's the proposal I did this morning. That proposal is still there for testing, it's not there for people who are just trying to play the game. (Which isn't to say there might not be problems with the official release too.)

Oh I was just testing the install to see if it was working. I load in as many mods as possible to test it out. I did notice a few of the files missing, as it says in the debug file and the install log.

I have left the install on since I posted yesterday. I have moved, albeit very very slowly. I'm up to ARENAHO9. This is the exact same behavior I had before the SCS 31 was updated. DavidW had changed things in the master that made the process much much quicker but just had the issues with what I shared earlier. I believe if those issues were fixed, then all the issues I've had so far would be solved.
