SubtleMods: SubtleD's Item Tweaks

[subtledoctor]

This mod collects together various tweaks to weapons and other items that I have made over the years.

The readme is here.

You can download it here.

The contents:

• YARAS - a system to change the way armor works. It can give different armors damage resistance, set a chance for spell failure and/or casting speed penalties, Dexterity penalties, weapon speed penalties, movement speed penalties, and thief skill penalties. There is a default install with my chosen settings but all of that is completely customizable.
• Aesthetic Enchantment Tweaks - this removes all in-game references to "+1" or "+3" etc. and instead just sets a few categories of weapons and armor: normal, mastercraft (+1 equivalent), generic enchanted (+2 equivalent), named enchanted (+3 equivalent), and artifact-level (+5 equivalent). There is a 'hardcore' option that eliminates ALL generic enchanted weapons and repllaces them with less powerful mastercraft versions.
• Functional Weapon Tweaks: this makes some changes to weapons, e.g. reducing the APR of bows to 3/2, increasing the damage and accuracy of crossbows, increasing the damage of spears, etc.
• IWD Item Tweaks - this changes some items in IWDEE, and adjusts the random loot tables a slight bit so that you are more likely to get the items that I personally think are good
• All Potions Usable by Any Class - just removes usability restrictions on potions.
• Armored Spellcasting for Bards - this allows bards to cast spells in leather armor. Not currently available if you install YARAS, as that component handle spellcasting restrictions differently.
• Set Spell Weapon APR to 2. Stuff like Flame Blade, Spiritual Hammer, Phantom Blade etc. become better now. The point is to have you use them in melee, they should be good in melee.
• Add Backstab Immunity to the Ring of Danger Sense.
• Proper Missile Deflection for the Gloves of Missile Snaring.
• Improve Detonating Weapons - they trigger Produce Flame instead of Fireball.
• Add Revised Barkskin effect to 'Skin of the Forest' Armor - like a 1-skin Stoneskin cast every round, constantly, while you wear the armor.
• Make the Gargoyle Cloak Apply Stoneskin Instead of an AC Bonus
• Improve Azlaer's Harp and Methild's Harp
• Nerf Edwin's Amulet - only +1 Bonus Slot per Spell Level, limit Bonus Slots to 7th Level Spells, or only +1 Bonus Slots AND Limited to 7th Level
• Spell Sequencer instead of MR for Cloak of the Weave
• Replace Evermemory with a Ring of Acuity

Cheers.

Updated to version 1.1 to fix a mistaken dependency on another mod

Fixed in version 1.3.  Thanks for the report!

hello, do the item tweaks also change the description of the items?

Mostly? One or two might not. I think the Ring of Danger Sense and Detonating Weapons may not. For me it is a balance between 1) how significant is the change? versus 2) altered descriptions break on non-English games. If a weapon triggers a burst of fire on 5% of hits, and I have changed the projectile from a burst of fire with this shape to a burst of fire with that shape, to me it is not worth ruining non-English descriptions to spell that out. Whereas, if the Skin of the Forest armor gives 1x/round Stoneskin instead of a simple AC bonus, that is a major change the needs updating. 

tl;dr: almost everything in this mod carries updated descriptions. The Spell Tweaks mod is more hit-or-miss.

[Morgoth]

Thanks.

More of a compatibility observation than a real problem. The Dwarven Thrower component doesn't seem to work on the copy installed by Thrown Hammers (it goes by t-hamm06). Was pretty confused when I found it in IWD and remained unusable for my non-dorfy party.

[Connelly]

Another problem with the IDW tweaks component. For whatever reason, the "Random Treasure" items won't transform when you drop them on the ground. I found the culprit in the "less-ramdomized loot" code section of IWD_items.tpa (which uh the readme doesn't even hint at).

Dunno if it's a bad interaction with another mod or something of its own, but I didn't identify the problem until after I went through a whole playthrough without being able to use those. A lootless hell until I find trolls dropping gems like no tomorrow, or undead dropping wolf pelts like it literally went out of style ages ago. :_D

Huh, I thought that was mentioned in the Readme - I guess it got skipped over.

At any rate, I can't really figure out what you are seeing here: all this mod does is replace RNDTRES.2da with a slightly tweaked version for better distribution of different item types. Like, it make you more likely to find Spell Diver or the Sword of Days, and removes Bone Cleaver since you'll already have Kresselack's Sword and you may not have a decent short sword at that point. (I think the base IWDEE random tables do not have a good variety of weapons, probably because it was designed with oIWD in mind where e.g. long swords, bastard swords, scimitars, and 2-handed words all fall under the same proficiency.)

But that just changes the weapon you find; I don't understand what you mean about "items transforming when you drop them on the ground." That is... not how the game works? I'm guessing that is from some other mod. But... even then, I don't kn ow how simply modifying the .2da table would cause the behavior you are seeing. (But then, I don't know what that other mod does, it could be complicated and/or fragile.)

I could make the loot table replacement an additional optional component; or, since there are already a lot of components, maybe gate it behind an .ini setting. Or if you can identify what other mod is messing with random loot I could just make this not happen if the other mod is installed. That would probably be the best idea...

[Connelly]

Honestly, I'm not sure what other mod I might have that's touching the loot in general. This was a very barebones installation, mostly content mods, so I'm pretty confused as to what could have happened. Still, if this component only changes RNDTRES.2DA, and I look for it in the installation...

Your M&G, F&P and Stat Overhaul have their copies of that file, but I can't see if they do anything related to this problem. S&A also seems to have a barebones file for some reason, and Graion's random scrolls is the only one I can see that actually changes the file, but I install both later. And more importantly, I didn't have any of those in the previous install anyway, so they're right out. I did have CDTweaks' merchant friendlier drops, but why keep the "random" item then? For a start, I tried different combinations of only IDW Tweaks here + CDTweaks friendlier drops, but nothing. @_@

I'll see if I can try and keep looking tomorrow.

Skills and Abilities rndtres.2da is not actually making it into the game as the component it's part of is deprecated.

[Graion Dilach]

Okay, so notes regarding rndtres:

You shouldn't assume that the amount of coloumns in that is fixed. I am perfectly fine with expanding it ad infinitum, if required. I think other mods cap it at max 40.

Also, there are mods in IWD which also rewrite it, like Improved Heart of Fury or Abel's Nonrandom Treasures (although that should come after yours).

The "items dropping to the ground" situation is that sometimes the game doesn't roll the randomization in containers only until you drop it to the ground but that needs an underlying ITM to ensure it can be moved (RGT Bags of Spilling silently adds an ITM to all the random treasures for exactly this reason).

IMO just replace/add in your actual content changes to the file and then run https://github.com/Argent77/A7-add_kit_ex/blob/master/a7-add_kit_ex/a7%23add_kit_ex.tpa#L223-L263 on it so taht it remains a valid 2da. That's what I sbmitted to SoD2BG2 IU rndtres.2da handling as well, which broke when other mods increased the table coloumn amount.

[Connelly]

I can't pinpoint the source of the entire problem yet, but I think it's a combination of "something" being acted upon by this mod's IDW tweaks and Graion's RGT Bags of Spilling together. The what exactly, I can't say. When the IDW tweaks and the Bags of Spilling are alone and together, nothing else installed, there's seems to be no problem. In a bigger installation, when I install the BoS I start getting the Random Treasure items regularly (can make a quick check by starting a new game with the casters in the default party, each get one), which they work, but if I then install the IDW tweaks, that's when they don't transform.

For reference, this was the installation up to the IDW tweaks. Only quests, NPCs, items, and barely any spell and tweak mods:

You shouldn't assume that the amount of coloumns in that is fixed.

I don’t assume anything. I overwrite the file in its entirety. Is this not a well-formed .2da file? It seems like some other mod may be making assumptions about the file, if a uniform number of columns is making the game spaz out.

My first guess is CDTweaks Friendly Random Drops - that component does basically the same thing as mine, improving the variety and utility of random drops, and the control it gives you means that mine is unnecessary. So I will update my mod to leave the random loot table alone if that is installed. But still… if that mod reads the file and builds some dialogues or tokens etc. before my mod is installed, which would my mod changing the table have any effect?

My next guess would be that “Bag of Spilling” thing which, I don’t know how it works or whether it is necessary. (I have read about it being helpful for some bosses in highly modded EET/BG2 games but I would be surprised if it is necessary in IWDEE.) This strikes me as a bit risky: “RGT Bags of Spilling silently adds an ITM to all the random treasures”

At any rate,  @Connelly If you want you can edit SubtleD_Item_Tweaks/components/iwd_items.tpa and simply delete the COPY line at or near line 33. Then proceed with your install. 

EDIT - or if you have a game in progress and the file needs to be reverted, just grab a copy of it from Weidu_external/backup/SubtleD_Item_Tweaks/140/ and drop it in your override folder. Should solve the problem.
