Bug with Improved Encounters on EET

[Enkidu]

SCS improved encounters on EET causes the 6th chapter random encounter with rakshasa disguised as travelers to happen prematurely in chapter 2. We have this block in ar0041.bcs - ar0046.bcs

IF
	OnCreation()
	GlobalGT("RandomEncounters","GLOBAL",1)
	Global("DMWWRandomTravelers","GLOBAL",0)
	GlobalGT("chapter","GLOBAL",5)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("DMWWRandomTravelers","GLOBAL",1)
		CreateCreature("RERAK01",[488.558],NE)  // Traveler
		CreateCreature("RERAK02",[500.454],NE)  // Traveler
		CreateCreature("RERAK03",[552.476],NE)  // Traveler
		CreateCreature("RERAK04",[427.548],NE)  // Traveler
		CreateCreature("RERAK05",[525.591],NE)  // Traveler
		CreateCreature("RERAK06",[585.542],NE)  // Traveler
END

I fixed  this manually in my install by changing the condition GlobalGT("chapter","GLOBAL",5) to GlobalGT("AsylumPlot","GLOBAL",50). The bug is present in v35.10

I see the problem, yes. Chapter variables need to be localized to allow for EET: that 'Global("chapter","GLOBAL",5)' needs to be 'Global("chapter","GLOBAL",%bg2_chapter_5%)'. The same thing occurs in a few places in stratagems/tactical_bg2/ssl/dw#random.ssl. Fixed locally, will be in 35.11. You can hotfix by dropping the attached file into stratagems/tactical_bg2/ssl before installing (no need if you're not playing EET).
