Spell contingency bug


Guest Valk

Recommended Posts

Hi. Thanks for this wonderful SCS mod - it's one of my favorites since Ascension.

One bug I noticed time to time is the contingency - sometimes even without casting pre-made spell sequencers/minor sequencers/triggers (the white icons), they disappear from my innate skill bar and are no longer available for use. Or sometimes, the white icons for spell trigger or sequencers may still be there, but when I cast them, it will not do anything and the spell will fizzle.

However, I cannot wipe out these dysfunctional sequencers - when I open the spellbook, the icons for sequencer for instance still have spells loaded, prepared to use, without the hand icon available to click to cancel/delete the sequencer. Therefore, when I cast the blue innate ability icon to prepare the sequencer again, it provides me with message that I cannot have two sequencers prepared, etc.

Is there any reliable fix for this? The only one I  have discovered is if the character dies and is revived, the sequencer/triggers are reset. However, this is not a trick I can do on PC. The mods I have installed for my use are: ascension, dungeon be gone, level 1 npc, SOD item to BG2 uprade, tweaks, and SCS (all mods from Gibberlings3, installed exactly in the order described). 

Thanks for the help - and if I am not clear in my description of my problem, let me know.

Just to spell out, "One bug I noticed time to time is the contingency:" Thanks again.

I am talking about the component "Make spell sequencers and contingencies into innate abilities".

Thanks again.

Erhm, there's a far more efficient way to tell people what mods you have installed, and that is to post your weidu.log's content, and to do that you just open the file with notepad. Among the features is mods version numbers etc. And you probably should also declear what game you install this into. Ouh, and that you did start a new campaign ? As that is a must.

Thanks! Yes, I will copy paste my Weidu log here at the bottom of the post. This is BG2EE, and yes I started new campaign after installing.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! Btw David, really appreciate all your mods and hardwork.

I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game without this feature from SCS to see if I can reproduce the bug...I was wanting to try a new build/party anyways. I will play through and see if a similar issue happens, albeit within Wizard spellbook rather than innate ability.

A little late update.

Did a two complete playthrough after not installing the component that lets you utilize contingencies as innate abilities.

It drastically reduced the amount of incident I described, but did not eliminate them. Specifically, if there are spell contingencies in spellbook during the fight with Irenicus, in nine hell my characters lost spell sequencer casting icons, although in spellbook the contingency is still there. Similar (but slightly different) occurrence happened after the final fight of SoA happened, when one of my NPC (Aerie) held spell sequencer but died during the fight without using it. When she was resurrected in first chapter of ToB, she had spell sequencer icon that would not shoot any magic.

As you predicted, I think it's a bug of sort from interaction of game mechanics + mods, rather than purely from SCS component. That said, since it reduces the number of times the incidents happened, I am considering not playing with this part of the mod.

Not to advertise on the neighbor’s lawn, but Tome & Blood has several options for innate sequencers if you cannot get it to install via SCS

Also, I vaguely recall reading elsewhere that the disappearing sequencers might not be a bug with the sequencers themselves, but rather with another buff spell that applies opcode 101 immunity to opcode 171 (presumably in error). If the sequencers need opcode 171 to add the innate ability, and it is blocked by the buff, then it could mess up the sequencer. Might be one of the buffs in the IWD spells... I can’t remember.

Please do advertise, especially since this version seems to be glitchy (and I don't think there are reports of yours being).

I found details: someone wrote on the BD forums that it is SCS’ Mind Blank spell that includes the errant opcode 171 immunity. And that it actually interferes with unmodded sequencers as well. So your sequencers might not be glitchy at all. (But maybe look over the IWD spells component.)

EDIT - now I think about it, isn’t Mind Blank added by Spell Revisions? Is there an IWD version, or something similar? Maybe that BD poster was mixed up. I’ve got SR and SCS installed currently, I’ll take a look tomorrow. Should be easy enough to sort out now we know where to look.

I have the problem with sequencers too, and I use neither SR nor SCS's contingencies as innate abilities.  I keep losing Imoen's sequencers, but Aerie's are fine.  Imoen is the only one to use Mind Blank (I prefer Impervious Sanctity of the Mind for Aerie), so you may be on to something here.  I will examine my installation and see what's what.

EDIT: Confirmed, there is indeed an errant opcode 101 that gives immunity to opcode 171 (Give Ability) in Mind Blank.

Yup, when I install only the SCS IWD Arcane Spell Pack, I see this in Mind Blank:

The effect is not present in IWDEE, so it seems the mechanism for extracting the spells from the source is mistakenly adding this.  (There is also a duplicate 101 protection against the Maze effect, but that duplicate does exist in the IWDEE source, and is harmless in any event.)

This is not the only thing that can mess up sequeners - apparently the unmodded EE 2.5 versions of Resurrect and Mass Raise Dead can as well. But this is definitely likely to be problematic.

On the bright side, this is an easy fix and there is no evidence of any bugs in the SCS innate sequencers component.

Here is the fixed file.  It goes into stratagems/iwdspells/copyover/wizard_mind_blank/spwi802.spl

I'm currently reinstalling SCS with this fix.

EDIT: Reinstall done, tests are looking good.  Imoen now seems to retain her sequencers even when Mind Blank is active.
