Guest Gwilkennef Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 My illusionist/thief failed to cast his protection from petrification spell while farming basilisks even though he was not wearing any armor, helmet or shield. I verified that this recurs with a new character (gnome Ill/Th) just starting in Candlekeep, granted 21000 exp using EEkeeper. The text is as follows: Chraname: A medium shield is carried in the same manner as a small shield. Unlike the small shield, however, its weight prevents the character from using his shield hand for anything other than carrying the medium shield. Medium shields are usually made of metal, range from three to four feet in diameter, and can be of any shape, from round to square to a dragon's spread wings. A typical medieval shield resembles a triangle with one point facing downward. STATISTICS: Equipped abilities: - Armor Class: +1 Requires: 12 Strength Weight: 8 Miscast Arcane Magic: +15% : Charname Needless to say, the character has never had a medium shield equipped or even in inventory. A couple of weeks ago I installed BGEE from GOG.com and then installed the Tweaks Anthology. No other mods. Any ideas on how can I fix this? Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 tbh for me this looks more like a text mixup. Like, the game wants to tell you something (maybe "gained 21000 XP" + "Level up" would be my first guess) and instead different texts are shown. The interesting question would be why. Please post the contents of your weidu.log here into a spoiler. Did you use an automated installer to install the mod(s)? Quote Link to comment
Gwilkennef Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Thanks for the reply! I used the default WeiDU installer for both my BGEE and BG2EE - some of my choices differed between the games Here is the weidu.log for my BGEE (windows - E:\bg\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition).

jastey Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Ah, you don't need - and shouldn't - install the tweak mod to the BG:EE install. It might be the cause for the mixed up texts. It's sufficient to install the tweaks to the EET after the EET transformation: -install DLC Merger onto BG:SoD -install EET onto your BGII:EE install -install Tweaks Anthology (onto EET install) -at the end to finish EET run the EET_End-setup.exe (in EET folder).

jastey Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 ..But you need to install the DLC Merger into your BG:EE (SoD) install before. Edited the above post. Quote Link to comment
Gwilkennef Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I have only BGEE and BG2EE from GOG, each in their own folder. I do not have Siege of Dragonspear or EET. Are one or both of those required for use of the tweak mod? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 @Gwilkennef oh, my bad. I misread and thought that's the reason you posted both weidu.logs. Hmm, if you have BG:EE (no SoD) then you don't need the DLC Merger and installing the TweaksAnthology should be fine. You did confirm this with a new game (i.e. not using a savegam from before)? Uninstalling and reinstalling could shift texts as well. If yes, then I'm a bit clueless I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment
Gwilkennef Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Well, that's solved the issue! I reinstalled BGEE by itself, then added the XP cap remover mod (only), then the implement miscast risk for mages wearing armor (total 2 mods only) - verified each using a newly-created save game to which I then EEkeepered in extra XP - and the problem did not recur. Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment
jastey Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Great! Have fun playing. And welcome to the forums! Quote Link to comment
