Sword Coast Stratagems v32 now available

[AnonymousHero]

First of all, @DavidW congrats on the release and thanks for this amazing mod!

I'm not sure if bug or intended, but I just tried to use a Protection from Magic scroll on Daveorn and he was still able to cast spells, etc. What gives? Does SCS v32 neuter the scroll somehow? (I just Ctrl+F'ed the readme, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of this.)

Congratulations for this new, massive release, DavidW! 

And thanks for the continued support.

Not intentional; will check out.

He's definitely casting spells, not just using his sequencer?

[AnonymousHero]

Yes, ordinary casting.

 

EDIT: Hm, I'm doing a new run and this time Daveorn didn't cast in spite of the offensive PfM scroll. Maybe it was just a one-time glitch or something.

Wild mages chaos shield now protects against all wild surges. Improved chaos shield works normally.

[DavidW]

I’m fairly sure I don’t modify chaos shield.

[Carso]

Well it's definitely scs considering it's the only mod I have installed. Using nahal's reckless dweomer with chaos shield up gives the message "wild surge averted with chaos shield" while with improved chaos shield the surge happens. Here are the components I used.

Getting a whole bunch of these while installing Improved Mindflayers on BG2EE:

SCS doesn't modify the file beyond adding detectable-spells detection to it, and that string is one of the game engine's core strings.

I'll need a WEIDU.log, since I don't get those on a clean full install.

On the one hand, I can't see how this could possibly be anything to do with SCS.

On the other hand, I can reproduce it on a clean install, so it clearly *is* SCS.

How interesting. Will investigate...

Hey all! I'm having a little trouble updating to the most version. I previously worked with the RC10, or whatever it was called, and I've downloaded the current version since then. Everything reinstalls fine except for a few components related to Ascension, starting with the Smarter Melissan component and a problem with the gate5.spl file. My debug file is attached. Any idea what I can do?

EDIT: Also, is it possible I can change my username to semiticgod? (it's me from the Beamdog forums)

You're using the old version of Ascension - which, y'know, is fair enough, since new versions of things often having teething problems, but I didn't really test with the old version.

In this case, it's a bug in the code that tries to allow for the old version. Will fix; in the meantime, if you want to hotfix, open stratagems/ascension/ascension_shared.tpa in a text editor, and replace ~COPY "gate5.spl"~ with ~COPY_EXISTING "gate5.spl"~.

EDIT: as for username, try asking @Mike1072or @CamDawg, since it's above my pay grade.

… and got it. Bug in the new version of Detectable Spells. Fixed locally; will distribute in (fairly-imminent) next version.

I have found a problem with Tweaks v32 - the last version - : when I entered my team in the sewers - in the Temples District of Athkatla - I have had a crash on my last BG2/ToB install and I return on Windows. I  haven’t encountered this problem before with the RC versions of Tweaks 32. So I have made many attempts, on SoA and ToB and it seems that the problem is Gaius, the member mage of the evil adventurers team in the sewers, who have been modified moreover by Revised Battles; I had a look at his CRE file and I haven’t found anomalies at first sight. I put here my ToBEx log here, and I hope this problem will be resolved soon.

Easier question than the above: Does the Big World Fixpack still work with SCSv32?
