Tweaks Anthology v9 Released

[CamDawg]

The Tweaks Anthology is a WeiDU compilation of fixes, cosmetic changes, and tweaks that will run on every Infinity Engine game, from the original Planescape:Torment, through the Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate series, and the new Enhanced Editions of the games. The successor to BG2 Tweaks and several other tweak packs, some of these were fan requests, others are needed fixes, and others simply make dealing with the more irritating aspects of the game engine easier. Each component can be installed separately so the player can pick and choose only which ones they wish to install.

v9 Changelog

• Expanded armor lists for the Allow Stealth and Thieving Abilities in Heavy Armor per P&P and Allow Arcane Spellcasting in Armor components to cover new mods; also added a compatibility fix for subtledoctor's mods
• Updated Russian translation, courtesy of Saigon1983
• Added Increase party movement speed outside combat component, courtesy of argent77
• Unique Icons was assigning an IWD-icon to the Full Plate +2 that was obtainable via Wish; it will now use the same appearance as the other Full Plate +2
• On EE games, Use BG Walking Speeds will now directly adjust the movement speeds of animations, rather than relying on mass creature patching
• Due to its increased interface size, the portrait from Female Edwina would end up letterboxed on EE games. The existing portrait has been upscaled, so while it's no longer letterboxed it may be a bit blurry.
• The various tweaks that add abilities to create a new item--Two-Handed Bastard Swords, Two-Handed Katanas, Two-Handed Axes, and some variants of Wear Multiple Protection Items--would not recharge after resting, contrary to the mod's claims. This is fixed.

I can't find the ".exe" file for windows.

[Jarno Mikkola]

And at least for now, there is no Windows download link. Just Linux, and OSX(= mac).

[CamDawg]

That's my mistake--fixed.

It's been reported that "Multiclass Grandmastery" only increases the proficiency limits for trueclass multi fighters - not multiclass kits. (Which are a thing now in the EEs.) 

It would be great if the component modified all kits with class = 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, or 17.

Yeah, and that it wouldn't F up the kit's clab...2da file like it does currently. As the mod just appends while not counting how large the table is, with likely extra data that breaks MMBM mod for example, as there the count needs to resolve to a legit value, or you can't combine multiple of them to one.

[subtledoctor]

I don't see what this has to do with any kit's CLAB table.  These values are in WEAPPROF.2da.  It just needs something like

COPY_EXISTING kitlist.2da
	  READ_2DA_ENTRY class
	  READ_2DA_ENTRY kit_weap_col
	  PATCH_IF class = 7/8/9/10/16/17
	    INNER_ACTION
	      COPY_EXISTING weapprof.2da
	        FOR (row < rows)
	          READ_2DA_ENTRY row kit_weap_col cols limit
	          PATCH_IF limit > 1 BEGIN
	            SET_2DA ENTRY row kit_weap_col cols 5
	          END
	        END
	      BUT_ONLY
	    END
	  END
	BUT_ONLY

Then you have not seen the component... so I suggest going back and doing it properly. Or shut up.

[subtledoctor]

I have seen the component, it is very simple... in fact, for your benefit I'll copy and paste the entire thing right here:

ACTION_IF GAME_IS ~bg1 totsc iwd how totlm~ THEN BEGIN
  COPY_EXISTING ~profsmax.2da~  ~override~
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~  9 2 ~5~ // fm
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~ 10 2 ~5~ // fc
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~ 11 2 ~5~ // ft
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~ 12 2 ~5~ // fmt
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~ 18 2 ~5~ // fd
    SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~profsmax~ 19 2 ~5~ // fmc
    SET_2DA_ENTRIES_NOW ~profsmax~ 1
  BUT_ONLY
END ELSE BEGIN
  COPY_EXISTING ~weapprof.2da~  ~override~
    FOR (column = 12; column < 21; column = column + 1) BEGIN
      FOR (row = 11; row < 31; row = row + 1) BEGIN
        READ_2DA_ENTRY row column 1 stars
        PATCH_IF (stars > 1) BEGIN
          SET_2DA_ENTRY_LATER ~multigrand~ row column ~5~
        END
      END
    END
    SET_2DA_ENTRIES_NOW ~multigrand~ 1
  BUT_ONLY
END

It has nothing to do with CLAB tables.  On modern games it only modifies WEAPPROF.2da, and to be more comprehensive it only needs to modify a few more columns of WEAPPROF.2da.

Alright then, a component will NEVER start with ACTION_IS, so the rest can be as much BS as you like. Just as a referenced, it starts with BEGIN ~component name~

Next, and this, really must confuse you, as many of these games have kits, as many as zero in total actually:

GAME_IS ~bg1 totsc iwd how totlm~ THEN BEGIN

I need a drink.

In other news, I sent a pull request to make the Tweaks revised wizard/sorcerer/bard spell tables compatible with Tome & Blood's "Revised Ability Scores" component which gives bonus spell slots for high INT (mages) and CHA (bards/sorcerers).

[DavidW]

There's a bug in the 'make NPCs less likely to die irreversibly' component that renders it nonfunctional. (Your quality control for people you let work on this project is lamentable - some complete idiot messed up the code by failing to run a critical macro.)

Fix uploaded to the repo.

The "Faster Chapter 1&2 Cut-Scenes & Dreams"  is not working for me on BG2EE GoG version. The BG2 Tweaks version of this works fine, even using both of these at once seems to work fine.
