Multiclass Thief 28/Mage 20: 9 levels drained.
Thief 8 -> Mage 20: 8 levels drained.
Fighter 7 -> Mage 20: 2 levels drained.
You're wrong. Evidence attached.
Confirm, i was wrong, BG2EE split dualclass to separate classes and uses active class (Mage) as single class to calculate average level. oBG2 doesn't have such split, it was specialy added to bg2ee code, i think when they fixed oBG2 50%(wrong) to 40% levels

OK, a quick test on the simulacrum level thing ... start a L7 fighter, dual to L20 mage. Give them spells to memorize at each level; 5/5/5/5/5/4/3/3/2 spell slots. Cast a simulacrum (from a level 8 slot), check memorization of clone.
I get 5/5/5/5/5/3/3/2/1 slots remaining. Drained to level 18; that's 0.4*7 = 2.8 rounded down to 2 levels drained.
Now, try the same thing with a thief -> mage dual. Start a level 8 thief, dual to a level 20 mage, fill slots in the same way and cast Simulacrum. This time, I get 4/4/4/4/4/1 slots remaining; the mage is drained to level 12. That's 0.4*20 = 8 levels drained.
Check real drain calculation, not spell slots. After generation of simulacrum save game, use NearInfinity on savegame, open baldur.sav, decompress area where simulacrum belong, look it in Actors, find drain effect, see # levels parameter.
Your F->M and T->M must have ((7(8)+20)/2 = 14) * 0.4= 5 or 6 levels drained

op236, param2=3 (Simulacrum) is supposed to apply a level-drain effect to the clone equal to [(average of LEVEL, LEVEL2, LEVEL3) * 40%]. The code is bugged for dual class characters -- instead of using the character's average level it uses the level count of the original class.
This means dual class mages usually end up with Simulacrums that are substantially more powerful than intended.
oBG2/BG2EE uses average level for simulacrum, not affectedEdit: EE bug, not origial BG2 engine

The casting animation works, the ghast then appears, then the game crashes.
TobEx log has following error;
ASSERTION FAILED! Return Address: 0x49F287 File: CGameAIBaseActions.cpp Line: 2096 Expression: FALSE Message:

Kind a necroposting...
Some enemy (Dragon,...) can see any type of invisible party member and even attack without removing illusions
Should a party member have ImpInvisible's AC and Saving bonuses versus these creatures ?
-
When enemy char under MISLEAD invisibility do melee(may be ranged too) attack on party member, engine shows enemy sprite for 1-2 animation frames, then char go instantly back to invisible. These frames show where char located on area -> player knows what kind and where enemy is.
Is it OK or misleaded enemy must be always invisible until illusion removing ? -

The SPEED column in WSPECIAL.2DA is ignored by the engine — High Mastery and Grand Mastery do not provide bonuses to speed factor as they should
My goodness. Is this in oBG, too?
oBG2 too.

Ammunition should not override the launcher's weapon speed (WS)
Keldorn has two attacks per round with a crossbow, and the difference in listed weapon speed between Firetooth (1) and a heavy crossbow (10) should result in about a ~2.7 second gap between the Firetooth attack (which should be pretty instant) and the heavy crossbow attack. The gap is so large that the first heavy crossbow attack should be happening fairly closely to Firetooth's second attack.
gap is a little random:
Speed = weapon speed + 1d6 - 3
1d6 - INITIATIVE roll, Speed limited to [0-10]

If I turn 3D acceleration off it stretches properly, but the entire game breaks (slow, choppy loading, invisible cursor and animations ingame, lots of little issues)
1) To eliminate some graphic bugs try disable triple buffering in display driver panel (nvidia/intel has this setting). All InfinityEngines not compatible with tripple buffering.
2) Try Mesa as replacement of vendor's OpenGL driver, Mesa is software implementation, but fast enough for BG2
3) Iin display driver panel change scaling method as Bartimaeus mentioned

Hmm no that doesn't seem to work either. Do other people just play with an incredibly tiny UI? Bit confused as to how anyone could enjoy the game in that state, unless everyone is just playing EE these days?
Original BG2 engine can stretch UI to x2 for resolution 1280x960 and higher (as i remember)
Widescreen mod uses 1024x768 as base for high custom resolutions
why 1024x768 ? i dont know, maybe because bioware didnt finish 1280x960 mode and higher (weird guiw12.chu/guiw16/...)

Hi
Many dragon innate breathes have primary school as GENERALIST(spin893/spin596/...), so NoSpecialist Mages+Sorceres will have +2 bonus to saving throw (Wild Mages don't have bonus due engine bug)
Is it OK or spells are misconfigured ?

Loot panel for BG2 add new buttons for pick up items from near corpses
Difference vs EE engine:
- Panel is not realy "panel", its extension of original container screen, it cannot be visible always on main screen, still need open any container around
- Panel has two modes:
1) Classic (like EE)
2) Grouping same items, one click to pickup some item type from all corpses
Requirements:
- BG2 ToB v2.5.26498
- Installed TobEx v26 or v28, installer will REPLACE original tobex.dll with custom version
- Compatible with Widescreen mod 3.07, but loot panel need install AFTER Widescreen
Compilation:
In folder "src" modified sources of TobEx v28, merge with original files, add ContainerPanel.cpp and ContainerPanel.h to project

for classic BGT, is it bad to install UI mods before major content mods? also is there a database of recommended mod order?

1) If need Innate/Ability/Spell Description Screen on Right Click, install this component before spell revision and other text mods, if this component skipped - no any relation with text mods, install with any order.
2) Some UI components like loot panel depends on widescreen mod, so need install these components after widescren mod, this is not documentated yet, in next release will be explained what compenents affected
3) Other components can be installed in any order, you can run installer few times and select separate components, same way as Leonardo's BiG World Project works
4) You can change widescreen resolution without issues, weidu is smart enough installer, it reinstall "installed after" mods in auto mode
