Endarire Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) @subtledoctor Is there some interaction with EET that's amiss? What about other parts of the code called regarding spells? Is it class-specific? Kit-specific? What about for dual classes? Multiclasses? Single classes? Does it work the same on the main character as NPCs and multiplayer party members?

I can tell you in pretty certain terms that it's not EET. I've had this crop up in IWDEE and fresh installs of BGEE and BG2EE as the only mod(s) installed. Quote Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) The kits are added by FnP, but they use the same kit abilities and underlying systems as the sorcerer/cleric added by TnB. I need to check whether the same behavior exists without FnP. If I could see a problem in the files, it would be easy enough to track down the source. But I can't... I suppose, theoretically, it could be related to FnP’s option to cast spontaneously or from memorization slots. It’s possible that older code is interfering with the sorcerer spells. If you are planning to do a new install and just want to get playing with spontaneous casting, you might consider skipping TnB’s multiclass sorcerers and play a cleric/mage using the 5E conversion mod (install it after TnB and FnP, before FnP_Multi). It’s newer, more recently tested, and probably more robust. Edited August 5, 2021 by subtledoctor Quote Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Happens with a regular TnB sorcerer/cleric and fighter/sorcerer, as well. So it's just a bug in the TnB Multi-Sorcerers component. I'll have to look into it. Quote Link to comment

Honestly I prefer Sorcerer casting and not getting tons of XP off mage scrolls for the protagonist, but it's a consideration if things wind up not being fixable. Quote Link to comment
Guest RelentlessImp Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just had an odd bug testing it out further, made a new Sorcerer/Feywarden of Corellon and leveled to 10, picked up a 5th-level spell as first spell known - Breach - and had one casting of it. After it was cast, it was gone and resting didn't return it. Quote Link to comment
Guest RelentlessImp Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 As a side note, since it seems to have fallen by the wayside, multiclass Sorcerers are getting their spells known based on the other class in the multiclass (Thief, Fighter, Priest) rather than the Sorcerer level. Could that be affecting the spellcasting issue at all? Quote Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) It’s not their other class level, it’s probably their innate caster level (the average of their levels). Same issue affected casting slots, though that part is already fixed. Anyway no, it’s not related. I’ve made a bunch of adjustments, modernizing some of the code, identifying and fixing several small bugs... but none of it has changed this. I keep not getting 5th-level spells, and there doesn’t seem to be any technical reason why. It’s worth comparing to the Mana Sorcerer kit, since that is the closest analogue at a technical level. But in the meantime... I can’t fix it unless I can find what needs fixing. I wouldn’t hold my breath for it to be corrected, the time frame is probably more like weeks than like hours. EDIT - looks like 5th-level spells work just fine with the Mana Sorcerer. But they use almost the same code! Super weird. Maybe I should make some multiclass Mana Sorcerer kits... er, don't hold your breath for that either. Forget I said it! These kits might need a full re-work. These were a stepping-stone to the 5E conversion mod, but if the 5E mage multiclasses work, then I could work backwards from there, simply restricting the ability to learn from scrolls and adding the spell-learning UI. In-game, there would be no difference, they would work the same way they do now. But the underlying systems would be more robust. Just, (you know it's my favorite phrase) don't hold your breath.

Endarire Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Does the latest T&B also include an updated arcane crafting component? Thankee! Quote Link to comment
stekraut Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hello, i have a question concerning the COMPONENT 93: Bonus Spell Slot Items Work With Arcanists and Multiclass Sorcerers Trying to install it, i got the following message: 1 1 2 1 AMUL16 Copying and patching 1 file ...

subtledoctor Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 1 hour ago, stekraut said: It seems that the mod did not find the file "d5sslot.spl"; also it is in the override folder. No, that "not found" is a red herring; it is actually having trouble applying a value to that "fake_sorc_equal_1_7" variable. Which would only happen if your copy of splprot.2da does not have a line beginning "D5_WIZ=1_7..." Which it should, if you have already installed a mod component that relates to this one (multiclass sorcerers, the Arcanist kit, MnG Bards, or the 5E conversion). Also, be aware, based on the several posts prior to yours, the Multiclass Sorcerers component is not working right now. Finally, I cannot replicate this error in any event. I just installed the Multiclass Sorcerers component (remember it doesn't work, but I installed it anyway), and then the +Slot Items component, and there was no install error. It's possible another mod caused a problem that in turn caused a problem here? If I had to guess, I would say Ruad or MESpells. Also, are you using EEex? Quote Link to comment
stekraut Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 With your comments i was able to solve the problem. I just installed a blank BG2EE and then only the Multiclass Sorcerer component; but still the same problem. Looking into "splprot.2da" i just saw: D5_KIT_IS 152 -1 1 D5_SLOTS_1_7 108 -1 7 D5_SLOTS_8_9 109 -1 7 D5_FATIGUE_IS 30 -1 1 The i installed the Arcanist component and get the needes entries in "splprot.2da": D5_WIZ_1_7 108 -1 7 D5_WIZ=1_7 108 -1 8 D5_WIZ_8_9 109 -1 7 D5_WIZ=8_9 109 -1 8 D5_DIV_1_7 134 -1 7 D5_DIV=1_7 134 -1 8 So i have to install the Arcanist mod (even if i do not want) or is it sufficient when i add the lines above by hand?

subtledoctor Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I guess so. But note, this is all academic because, I must repeat: the multiclass sorcerers component is not working right now. You should not be installing it. Quote Link to comment
stekraut Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I will keep that in mind. What about the last component "COMPONENT 95: Ability Score-Based Bonus Spells"? Is it working? I was checking it and hope that i understood how it worked. There are some minor problems i hope i can correct on my own. Quote Link to comment
