~BG2FIXPACK\SETUP-BG2FIXPACK.TP2~ #1 #112 // Zabojca magow zmniejsza szanse na rzucenie czaru takze przy ataku dystansowym: v13

This component set an new line for the wizard slayer not encoded to EE, ... at least I think so !

 

If I make no mistakes :

Bg2 Fixpack have still some components available for EE games

 

- Mixed-use dagger fixes // DESIGNATED 103

- Ghrey's Holy Symbol Fixes // DESIGNATED 104

- Summoned demon behavior // DESIGNATED 109

- Wizard slayer ranged attacks // DESIGNATED 112

- Free action prevents against stun // DESIGNATED 114

- No thief bonuses for rangers & bards // DESIGNATED 116

 

For Ghrey's Holy Symbol Fixes, no problem there is a REQUIRE_PREDICATE and the component is EE compatible.

But for the others it is not clear if they should / could be installed on the Enhanced Editions !

The readme mentions some Optional But Cool components still available for EE, but without further details.

 

In particular for component Wizard slayer ranged attacks // DESIGNATED 112 wich modify the Wizard Slayer description (STRING_SET 25203 @145 from setup.tra)

Setup.tra is encoded in ANSI or else encoding of characters for vanilla game and cause crash on EE game.

This component is definitely not useful in the EE, and would likely be harmful. EE wizard slayers (as of the current patch) impose 25% arcane spell failure on both melee and ranged hits, and the kit description says "Each successful hit bestows a 25% cumulative chance of spell failure on the target."

lol this is a little bit crazy. IMO fixpack author should not be fixing a fixpack developed for original game to be actually compatible with ee games, LOL. Rather PJ should stop installing that 6 "compatible" components.

"The readme mentions some Optional But Cool components still available for EE, but without further details. " LOL Opional but not cool components are bugged even in original game.

According to the wiki, EE already gives the holy symbols in line with Ghrey's fixes (Shar for Viconia, Baervan for Aerie &c). So that component would be redundant anyway.

EE has its own fixpack now.

No component of the next version of this fixpack should install at all on EE.

EE mod fixpack is not recommended yet.

If so the readme need clarification and the REQUIRE_PREDICATE need to be integrated.

 

The purpose of this post is to prevent uninformed players from crashing their game.
