I think I figured out the issue with mage AI in 33.5 and up. It looks like it has to do with the file stratagems/mage/ssl/meleeblocks/standard_mage.ssl. For whatever reason, 33.5 completely deleted the contents of this file which seems to handle the usage of Melf's Meteors and other attacks. I think it can be fixed by replacing the contents of this file with the last good version. You then just need to change line 250 from
INCLUDE FILE(%scsroot%/genai/ssl/shoot.ssl)
to
INCLUDE FILE(%MOD_FOLDER%/genai/ssl/shoot.ssl)
and then reinstall the Smarter Mages component.
I would really like to fix this issue. I followed the steps, copied the content into the file that really was empty and replaced that one line. But I'm not sure how to reinstall an individual component. I used the install tool https://baldursextendedworld.com/Install-Tool/.
Could somebody enlighten me how to install just the mage component?
Update: I did reinstall the smarter mage component but I don't think it changed anything. Granted, I only tested is with the first 'mage' encounter you get in irenicus dungeon. The Djinn that spawns that mage-like creature. On max scs this thing was a serious threat. It ran around, it attacked my casters and was hard to even catch. And it was quite powerful. Even with this fix it just stands and folds quite easily. It doesn't run arond at all anymore.
