Thanks for the reply, but I've done as you said, inserted the line in both places, and they still sit there and spam keening.

Damn, my bad, it needs to be:

    !GlobalTimerNotExpired("BurningManFearTimer","LOCALS")

To check the timer as a local variable for the creature, that should work.

Nice, thanks for the speedy help, everything seems to be in order now.

Throwing the anti-magic ray on them was a nasty move.

Try installing SCS using 64 bit Weidu (https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/tag/v249.00). That should resolve the out of memory errors. Just copy the 64bit Weidu exe into the game directory, rename it setup-stratagems and give the install another go.

Thank you very much ! it worked perfectly, all components were installed without errors or warnings.

Thank you so much for this, I was getting really frustrated trying to install scs and a couple other mods earlier today getting tons of out of memory errors. Came across your comment and downloaded the 64 bit Weidu and had zero issues afterwards.

With latest SCS on BG2, I encountered a bug with the "Improved NPC customisation and management" with Jaheira : I can choose class, kit, and skills, but she doesn't receive XP bonus, so she stay at level 1 in Irenicus Dungeon.

Imoen and Minsc are not affected.

[coredumped]

Hello, I would like to report a bug.

When using this latest version of SCS (34.3) and the component Treat mages' and priests' High-Level Abilities as innate abilities rather than memorisable spells (each may be taken only once) when a mage e.g. Edwin learns Summon Dark Planetar if he later dies and gets revived, he no longer has access to the spell. Even after a rest or level up (even though during level up choose ability Summon Dark Planetar is still selected).

[boof]

The readme states this regarding the battle horrors in Davaeorn's lair:

"The battle horrors, instead of being summoned by traps, are there already. They're enchanted to be immune to fire, lightning and web"

In reality, they've only got immunity to the spell fireball, lightning bolt and web. They can be nuked with any other source of fire or lightning damage, even a fireball from a wand of fire.

Why not just give them the fire and lightning resistance instead of adding these specific spell immunities?

And if this is intended, then... ????

Edited March 26, 2022 by boof

[DavidW]

It’s intended. In PnP, the creator of a helmed horror gets to specify 3 spells the horror is immune to.

I agree that the Wand of Fire should probably be covered.

[jmerry]

And the wand of lightning. Maybe also the Avenger/Priest of Talos versions of Lightning Bolt and Web. Potion and necklace fireballs feel a bit too far from the spell, though.

[boof]

The kobolds in this screenshot stay neutral and inactive through the Mulahey fight. Latest scs/game version.

[jmerry]

Those are the pre-placed kobolds on the map. Creature kobold7, starting neutral and with a script that makes them essentially passive until provoked. Then, in vanilla the area gives them the specifics script HELPMUL, which makes them listen to Mulahey when he starts calling for help.

SCS changes them by moving HELPMUL up to the override slot so it takes first priority, and adding generic melee combat scripts. They should get involved in the fight and go hostile when any of the enemies calls for help. But, unfortunately, SCS also changes how the minions are summoned. In vanilla, it's a dialogue action and Mulahey shouts for help - in a way that reaches everyone in the area. With SCS, it's in the area script and Mulahey doesn't get that global reach. There should be shouting anyway, including the minions, but it might not have the reach to pick up Xan's guards.

Now that you mention it I haven't heard Mulahey use his help voiceline a single time since I started playing again.

I've seen the kobolds work on some streamers' games though, but they were using older SCS and game versions.

[Graion Dilach]

Sometimes when you're lucky/fast enough, he can die before he's able to call for help, actually. In my games, it was like that, he's not always able to actually call for help.
