In my recent installation of scs v32 v10 I noticed at the end of each component installation the following line:

"weidu_external/lang/english/setup.tra file not found. Skipping..."

While this does not seem to impact a successful installation, I can't remember seeing this in previous versions.

February 14, 2019

In the last bug list of the now closed V8 testing thread the aTweaks (fiends) compatibility was set from "not fixed in this release" to fixed. Was this just for housekeeping or are the components of the two mods indeed compatible in 32.v9/final. Because in this case kudos to you and many thanks from a player of both these wonderful mods.

January 22, 2019

Sorry, you are right - user error

January 21, 2019

Testing the new v8 version it seems I still have the same issues with the minimal setup descriped above.

If you want to install straight from GitHub, you’re on your own, sorry.

That's fair. Just wanted to inform you, in case this is a bug that is also present in your local repo.

Ran into an installation error with the most recent github version (RC 8+):

Thank you CamDawg. Is it at all possible to get a sneak peek at this particular fix?

January 9, 2019

I played further and joined with Khalid and Jaheira (thereby knowing at least the friendly arm inn). After this i traveled to another area and kicked them out. Same result, there were no options to send them to an inn.

January 6, 2019

Bug: Currently you can't send BioWare NPCs to an inn in the BG1 part of an EET installation. This problem was initially reported in the baldursextendedworld forum but I didn't see an error report in this forum yet.

Setup: Install EET and CDTWEAKS/SETUP-CDTWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #1075 // Send BioWare NPCs to an Inn (DavidW/Zed Nocear): v8, start a new game, recruit Xzar and Montaron and try to kick them out sending them to an inn. I tested this with a fairly minimal installation:

According to baldursgateextendet the dialogs do in fact appear in the BG2 part of the game.

November 24, 2018

Im confused: why would I see it as a downside if you mod the game?

You shouldn't

. With modding the game I meant primarily changing the rules of the game during a play through, which I don't like doing for different reasons (save game breaking bugs). It's as good a reason as any to convey that I for myself am not hooked on the idea of adopting partial restrictions. But to be fair I didn't yet run a serious game with these rules implemented.

Then again I wouldn't mind restrictions if they were consistent for all alignments, giving good, neutral and evil clerics each their unique spells as I understand the proposal by KronoKinesis.

But for my consideration, the extension of the restrictions on BG-spells is only implemented for the scs ruleset of the iwd-spells. Or do you also implement these rules for IWDification?

November 24, 2018

In this case I would plead for unrestricted use. If I want restrictions I can roleplay them. The other way around involves me modding the game on a regular basis .

November 24, 2018

From the readme:

"IWD restricts its Cause Wounds spells to evil casters, but the BG versions aren't so restricted. I restrict the BG spells too."

IDW not only implements alignment restrictions for Cause Wound spells (and even they are sometimes available for neutral characters) but also for healing spells. I didn't check in game but if you only restrict spell groups for non evil clerics that would somewhat take away my alignment choice as a player in my opinion. Especially since you later describe that the signature good guy spell Shield of Lathander is now available for all alignments. Would it be feasible to add this as an option during install if IDW/BG spells get restricted?

November 20, 2018

Another question regarding fixes from "Jimfix - Ascension + SCS fixes, general tweaks". I know that this is not DavidWs mod, but I wanted to ask, if the fix part is part of the current version anyway (for the scs-related fixes)? As an additional question, is the cause for the tweak 'prevent silent prebuffs' something that is WAD in scs or is it a bug (that has been fixed)?

Readme of the mod:

This is a small collection of fixes and tweaks aimed at an Ascension + Fixpack

v10 + SCS v30 install. It should be smart about not letting you install

components you don't need, but you should still pay attention. I do not have a

copy of BG2 EE so please tell me if any additional issues arise in that

version of the game.

--- Fix Sunfire Power Levels ---

The damage effects on the level 10 version of Sunfire incorrectly have a power

level of 3. The primary effect of this is that they will be blocked by a Minor

or regular Globe of Invulnerability. The level 11 version also has one of its

damage effects set to power level 6. The component fixes both errors.

Credit to Alesa_BH for noticing this.

--- Enable Spell Immunity in Sequencers/Triggers ---

TobEx is intended to allow you to place Spell Immunity into Contingencies and

Triggers. However, this functionality is not enabled by default. This

component enables it.

--- Shield of Reflection works on SCS Flame Arrows ---

In vanilla, the Reflection Shield reflects the mage spell Flame Arrow. SCS

mages are scripted to act as if this is the case. However, with the "Make

Protection from Normal Missiles affect some magical projectiles" component,

the Reflection Shield does not actually reflect Flame Arrow. This component

re-adds that ability to the Reflection Shield.

--- Fix Smarter Abazibal ---

In previous versions of Ascension + SCS, when Abazigal turned in to a dragon

he would also spawn a purple dragon named Tamah. In SCS v30, Tamah does not

appear if you have installed the Smarter Abazigal component. Abazigal also has

the wrong script which may make him unreasonably difficult to kill for some

parties. This component fixes both glitches.

Credit to Mad Mate on the G3 forums for help with this fix.

--- Fix Smarter Irenicus at the Throne ---

A scripting glitch causes Irenicus to be completely harmless during the

opening fight at the Throne of Bhaal if you have the component that adds SCS

AI to him. This component fixes this.

Credit to Alesia_BH for noticing this and to Aasim for help with this fix.

--- Remove Entourage from Ascension Fallen Solars ---

In the original Ascension version of the first fight at the Throne of the

Bhaal, you must fight two Fallen Solars. As of SCS v25, the Smarter Celesitals

Component causes both of these Fallen Solars to additionally spawn with two

Mariliths, a Succubus, and an Alu-fiend. While it has not been officially

confirmed, there is significant evidence to suggest that these extra demons

are unintentional. This component removes them.

--- Fix incorrect casting animations ---

In the vanilla game, several spells have casting animations that don't match

the actual school of the spell. The Fixpack fixes some of these but misses

others. This component takes a broad approach and checks each standard mage

and priest spell individually. If the casting animation does not match the

spell school, the casting animation is changed.

This component also fixes a vanilla bug where the spell Conjure Animals is

erroneously set as an Enchantment spell.

This component may be overkill. It provides of a listing of all the changes it

makes so if you don't like some of them, you can uninstall the component.

--- Prevent silent prebuffs ---

Under certain conditions, SCS smarter mages will silently gain some long

duration prebuffs. This component changes this behavior to always display

these prebuffs in the combat log.

--- Add spell school notifications to the combat log ---

By paying attention to the casting animation or by listening to the casting

sounds, it is possible to determine the school of the spell a mage or priest

is casting. This tweak makes this information clearer by adding a message to

the combat log as well. It should be installed after any component that

modifies spells and combines well with the component that fixes incorrect

casting animations. You can pick the minimum casting speed of spells that you

would like this tweak to affect.

There are two issues with this tweak:

1) It works by modifying the spells so it applies to your spells as well as

enemy spells.

2) It does not take into account the fact that some enemies have innately

lower casting times for spells. The intent of this tweak is to not provide you

with any information that you didn't already have access to, but this may not

always be the case.

If there are any spells that are not affected but should be, or should be

affected but are not, please let me know.

--- Add expiration notifications for buffs ---

This component adds periodic reminders to the combat log for when spell buffs

are about to expire. The reminders come when there are 120, 60, 30, 12, and 6

seconds remaining in the buff. I can add other options if there is interest.

And again, please let me know if this component affects spells that it

shouldn't or if it doesn't affect a spell that it should.

--- Add expiration notifications for item buffs ---

This is the same as the previous component except with buffs from items.

Mostly this affects potions and protection scrolls, but it also includes

the Greenstone and Shield Amulets.

--- Reveal all hidden doors ---

This component sets all hidden doors to be immediately selectable so that you

don't have to wait for a character to detect them.

--- Allow Spell Shield to block Wish Breach and Mordenkainen's Disjunction ---

With SCS changes to the spell system, the Breach from Wish and the complete dispel

from fallen solar's Mordenkainen's Disjunction are both completely unblockable.

This component allows Spell Shield to block them as it would block any other

anti-magic attack.

Just a minor question regarding 'Alter <class> Spell Progression Table' components. It is my understanding that different mods (e.g. TDD) bring their own progression tables and that these tables are prioritized before/in conflict with Tweaks Anthology.

Can I have both worlds? Meaning, can I install TDD (or similar conflicted mods) and somehow install the TA tables later?

Glimpsing over the code it seems to me, that a.) currently it's a hard conflict, meaning the installation skips over these components, when I'm running the install script after TDD and b.) it's not just copying a file from a->b in which case I would do it manually. Then again I'm not proficient in reading WeiDu code, so is there a simple solution?

Thank you in advance.

COPY ~cdtweaks/2da/mxsplwiz.2da~ ~override~

It seems to me that basically the tables from mxsplwiz.2da are just copied over to the override folder. Thereafter however there is some patching involved in case of TA. According to the comments in code that part is for scribe scrolls/alchemy. This is somewhat counter intuitive since the readme doesn't really mention such a feature (should be updated). Indeed that could lead to other incompatibilities with mods like aTweaks that have a dedicated feature for this.

That leaves me with the question, if the spell progression should be seperated from the patching routines for scripe scrolls (which it is in case of P&P). In this case (if I understand the procedere correctly) you could remove the conflict for the spell progression part. For the rest I wonder what the difference in implementation is between aTweaks scribe scrolls and TA, since only the later has a conflict?
