Hi, I'm trying this mod in my current play-through.

It was nice to be able to come back to Candlekeep in chapter 5. Now the Duke Eltan asked me to go back again there to investigate the Iron Thrones, and the Gatekeeper told me that someone wants to meet me in the outer grounds. But I don't see anyone willing to talk to me. 

Which location is the outer grounds ?

@Trouveur80 I just remembered that removing the item might screw up the further development of his quest , because it will be replaced by something useful as the quest goes along (so technically speaking, if the item is no longer there, the other item will not be created). He will be able to wield the arm again later.

I'm always open to crossmod banters, if any fellow modder feels like creating crossmod feel free to contact me. It's not highest priority for me because there is a gazillion mods out there and I am still not done with writing my own content.

Thank you, I put back the item, I will see what will happen then .

It's a good idea, but I will not touch his kit - for several reasons, my lacking knowledge about kit creation being one.

I will add a note in the readme though. I fear that's all I can do for now. Thank you for reporting!

You're welcome.

So for my savegame I will put again the item, and reallocate the two points I initially put in single weapon style.

I read that you added some crossmod contents for BST, looking forward to it too.

Are crossmod banters with some NPC like The Artisan's Aura and Drake, Glam's NPC or Skitia's NPC conceivable  by the way ?

Or - the missing bonusses could be seen as due to his condition. Maybe he needs to readjust his sense of balance or something.

That could also be fitting yes. Even without theses bonus, Breagar is a good character to bring along.

In this case, it could be nice to add as a disadvantage to his kit not being able to put any point at all in fighting styles proficiencies ? After all he is a smith, not a true warrior.

Ouf. Bonuses not being applied is most definitely not intended. The item is for blocking the arm slot only. I wouldn't know how to fix this is a smart way.

Yes it is a tough one. By the way, currently he can also use two hands weapons.

You could make unusable for his kit all two hands weapons and shields, but it will not prevent dual wielding (although dual wielding without any point in it will not be a smart move).

For preventing dual wielding, you could maybe add an important penalty to ThAC0 from main hand if there is a weapon in the secondary hand ?

For my savegame I used EEkeeper to remove the item, I will just let the secondary hand slot empty.

hi, I really like Breagar interjections, he blends well with original content.

I have a question about something :

SCS and IWDification are distinct projects, so there are no plans to merge.

If you have IWD spells installed from IWDification, the IWD spell components in SCS will be automatically skipped and vice versa so there's no danger of conflict from having two versions floating around.

From my last try, I would say that the Improved Shapeshifting component from SCS is not compatible with the IWD druid shapeshifting component from IWDification.

Hello, I just tried Breagar on a new install.

I play with Dragonspear UI and his large portrait was blurry in the main screen during dialog.

I looked with EEKeeper and found out that the game uses ACBreM for the large portrait, and ACBreS for the small one, whereas for my other NPC it uses the L file for the large portrait and M file for the small one.

So far I like him, he feels so alive !

Thank you for maintaining it, and thanks to Ascalon for creating it.

The typo seems to be present in english too, language from where this translation come from.

//EN

@13141 = ~This token enables the shapeshifter druid who created it to shapeshift at will into a werewolf. While in that form, the druid is unable to speak or cast spells, but gains the prodigious strength and speed of the werewolf. Unlike a true werewolf, however, the druid is still affected by nonmagical weapons.

STATISTICS:

In shapeshifted form:
Base AC 1
Strength 19
Dexterity 17
2 attacks
Damage 1d8 slashing (attacks count as +1)
Magic Resistance 20%

@13141 = ~Ce symbole permet au druide métamorphe qui l'a créé de se métamorphoser à volonté en loup-garou. Lorsqu'il est sous cette forme, le druide est incapable de parler ou de lancer des sortilèges, mais gagne la force et la vitesse prodigieuses du loup-garou. Cependant, contrairement à un vrai loup-garou, le druide est toujours affecté par les armes non magiques.

PARAMÈTRES :

Sous métamorphose :
CA de base : 1
Force : 19

2 attaques/round
Dégâts : 1d8 tranchant (les attaques sont considérées comme +1)
Résistance à la magie : 20 %
Sous l'effet de Hâte
Immunisé contre tout effet qui modifie la force ou la dextérité

Utilisable uniquement par son créateur (équipez-le comme une arme pour l'utiliser)~

 

My bad, I didn't check the english text, only the paw files.

I will play in english on my next run.

Here are my findings so far with lastest SCS 34.3 on a Windows 2.6.6 BGEE install :

- the IWD druid spell Smashing Wave doesn't do anything

- some foes don't react when AoE DoT spells are cast on them : Davaeorn standed hopelessly in the Web + Spike Growth without activating pre casted spells or trying to teleport himself

- the dialog with Carsa is bugued : after successfully recover the jar without killing her, and dealing with the Ogre Magi, we can talk to her and sens her to Gullykin. But at Gullykin, Carsa have the same dialog lines as in the Firewine Bridge, and if send again to Gullykin, just restart the same dialog again.

- French traduction of the paw token for the Improved Shapeshifting component is not up to date. The one for the werewolf form have incorrect base AC (1 instead of 0) in the description.

- the journal entry for finishing ToSC quests incorrectly came when killing the last cultist, but Aec'Letec was still alive.

Not on a foreseeable future, I'm afraid. The orcish pantheon was the next on the backlog but I can bump Finder up, though.

That would be really nice.

It's funny you talked about orcish pantheon, since my nextevil playthrough will probably have an Eye of Gruumsh main character.

Hi, I really like this mod, thank you for all the hard work.

I was wondering if you could add the specialist priest of Finder Wyvernspur ?

Seems like it, but I am confused because for this variable ("Global("C#Ajantis_BG1KorlaszDefeated","GLOBAL",1)") there should be a valid dialogue in both Ajantis' BG1 and SoD dlg file. I wouldn't know why it doesn't trigger the correct dialogue.

His dialogue should either still be the BG1 one, or if some scripts happened his SoD one (but I think Transition prevents that switching happens in Korlasz Dungeon).

Did the Setup-AjantisBG1.DEBUG show an "~Transitions Mod detected...~" entry?

EDIT: To close the stutter, you can set Global("C#Ajantis_BG1KorlaszDefeated","GLOBAL") to "2" per cheats. I sense that this is a bug that needs fixing on mods' level, though.

Thank you for the workaround.

Here is my setup-AjantisBG1.DEBUG :

The last line surprises me since actually I don't have EndlessBG1 installed.

You would need to open Ajantis.bcs in Near Infinity and copy the relevant script block.

It should be this one :

"IF
    InParty("Ajantis")  // Ajantis
    !StateCheck(Player1,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
    !StateCheck(Myself,CD_STATE_NOTVALID)
    Global("C#Ajantis_BG1KorlaszDefeated","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        ActionOverride("Ajantis",StartDialogNoSet(Player1))
        DisplayStringHead(Myself,103735)  // Running block 3 of AJANTIS.BCS

END"

@Trouveur80 I'd need to see the script block from your game's Ajantis.bcs.

How can I see that please ? I'm not familiar with stutterdebug sadly.

EDIT : I read the readme and install NI. Here is my ajantis.BCS file.

Hello, thanks for the quick answer.

Here is the result :

I hit a pretty hard bug.

After defeating Korzak, Ajantis stuters with the same banter :

But more importantly, when I click on the rope to exit Korzak's tomb, BGEE always crashs on desktop.

I will try console command to teleport to the Palace and see what will happen then...

EDIT : when teleporting to the Palace via the console, I could complete Sarevok's minions and Dead Three's Documents quests normally.

But if I talk again to Belt and Liia, I can received XP and rewards from their quests indefinitly.

Hello, I'm playing on BGEE 2.6.6 on Windows, with Ajantis Expansion 18.1 and Transitions 2.0 installed.

I don't know if the bug comes from Ajantis mod or Transitions (or maybe my install order, I added Ajantis very late in my current install), but Ajantis spams the same after defeating Korlaz.

Lol, well after all she just escaped from a murder tentative.

By the way, two questions came to my mind :

- So we can have Imoen as a full party member for doing Korlaz's tomb ?

- XP from Korlaz's tomb counts in Transitions for the BG1 XP cap instead for the SoD XP cap ? I play with XP reduce to 50% since I had SotSC and BST installed, so I don't yet have attain max XP for BG1, but for most players this could be an issue since it means that Korlaz's tomb won't give them any XP compared to vanilla SoD.

You're welcome. You did all the work, I'm just enjoying your mod.

I found another minor bug, but I'm pretty sure it is from SCS.

Duke Liia often cast Teleport Field when I enter in the Palace. Other than that, the dukes are blue and I can talk to them without problem.

I'm certain it comes from SCS Liia's script during the battle against the doppelgangers.

I just entered Korzak's tomb and found dialog bugs.

Here are the screenshots. Besides thoses lines, other dialogs in the tomb seem fine so far.

Oh!  I have no idea how that would have happened.  I'll investigate again, but it is an easy work around no matter what.  Thank you!

Just Tazok?  Weird that he'd have been selected as not being dead when the others were.  It's sounding less and less like SCS.  I'll have to install your mods and check. Part of the research ...

Here is my weidu log  if it can help.

If you had killed her before, she shouldn't have been a clean-up quest.  Since she had SCS stone golems I have to think this is an SCS inconsistency again. Thank you the heads up, I'll have to do some research.  I'll put this on my list of things to do.

 

I'm glad you liked it.  It was one of my favorites as well, although a dialogue line in the Angelo encounter cracks me up and is probably my favorite.

Well, I didn't kill her : when she is seriously wounded in the Iron Throne headquarter, she begs for mercy, and we can let her go alive.

Belt didn't ask yet for Angelo. The next on the list is Korzak. I had Tazok, Winski, Tamoko and Cythandria so far.

So I checked my current install, I indeed have Transitions 2.0 installed.

I did some more cleanup quests (Winski, Cythandria and Tamoko). I really like how the one with Tamoko was handeld.

For Cythandria in the Elfsong tavern, I ran into a bug or inconsistancy : she had the same dialog as in the Iron Throne headquarters, was guarded by the same two stone golems from SCS that I already previously slayed, and when she died she left another two letters from Slythe and Sarevok's diary.

Hello,

I encoutered some error messages when installing SCS 34.3 on a french 2.6.6 BG2 :

I also put my weidu log and SFO warning in attached files.

What could be the culprit ? Installation order of the mods ? Incompatibility with one mod ? Or the french language ?
