HELP! Wild Mage can't use a sling

[benedictify]

I have EasyTutu, I've installed Degreenifier, Tutufix, EasyTutuNPCKits, and TutuTweaks. I created a new Wild Mage character at the start of BG1, I went to the store in Candlekeep, and the sling was redded out. I bought one, tried to equip it and it won't let me. What's wrong???

Well first of all if you report you 'installed TutuTweaks' you really do have to say which components given that there are a million and four of them.

Was your BG2 install modded when you ran the conversion? That can mess a lot of things up.

Hello -

 

I have EasyTutu, I've installed Degreenifier, Tutufix, EasyTutuNPCKits, and TutuTweaks. I created a new Wild Mage character at the start of BG1, I went to the store in Candlekeep, and the sling was redded out. I bought one, tried to equip it and it won't let me. What's wrong???

Actually, I've seen this "wild mage can't use items" issue reported a few times before. I can't duplicate the behavior on unmodded EasyTutu. On my currently running game, I have the following Tutu Tweaks (v16) installed...

 

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #0 // Adjust Evil joinable NPC reaction rolls

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #40 // Avatar Morphing Script

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #43 // Weapon Animation Tweaks

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #55 // Commoners Use Drab Colors

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #58 // Icon Improvements

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #83 // Add Bags of Holding to BG1

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #126 // Force All Dialogue to Pause Game

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #129 // Use Valen/Solaufein Style Interjections

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #185 // Shapeshifter Rebalancing

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #219 // 100% Learn Spells

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #228 // Unlimited Gem and Jewelry Stacking

~SETUP-TUTU_TWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #237 // Make Bags of Holding Bottomless

 

...and still can't duplicate the issue. Is it possible that one of the remaining tweaks could be causing this? I certainly don't mean to point fingers or anything; it's just that I know there are probably a lot of REGEXPs at work in the Tweaks.

I ran into this problem in SoA as well. My wild mage not only couldn't use a sling, but couldn't use a dagger, several wands, or ANY spell scrolls ( ). I posted the problem at Sorcerer's Place, and someone said it was a problem with the Expanded Dual-Class Options component. I uninstalled that, and it did indeed fix the problem.

 

So much for my wild mage-thief dual class.

The wild mages are getting one of the shadow barbarian kits applied to them. I've got this fixed locally.

Thanks, Cam. I'll look for it in the next release.
