"Lightning Bolt Doesn't Rebound" doesn't work in 2.6

[Baptor]

Hello,

Like it says in the title. Ever since the 2.6 update this element doesn't work, even after a reinstall. Someone told me I should let you guys know. Thanks!

@Baptor Thanks! Did you confirm this for a newly started game?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes I've confirmed this behavior on a fresh new game. In fact, it's worse than I thought. What the lightning bolt does is travel to the target, NOT damage the target, and then bounce off the target once and anything it hits after the bounce takes damage. It's wild. It also makes the spell completely useless.

You will need to modify LIGHTB.pro (BG1/2:EE) or IDPRO40.pro (IWD:EE) to use 207 (now 206) as the explosion (not secondary) projectile:

WRITE_SHORT 0x21a 207 // Change explosion projectile

I assume this information is for the creators of this mod, because I certainly don't know what any of that means.

Thank you for this!

Has this been fixed yet in the mod? Just asking as I haven't seen any updates and I'd love to cast lightning bolts. :)

This is in for 10.
