Maybe one more note that even components that can be installed like random spawns, seems to be broken. Game crashes immediately on Lion's Way. NearInfinity shows a lot of illegal CRE references on many areas (to some orcs, trolls etc). So it seems BG1 EE without SoD is not supported here.

Thanks. I must say I still have similar problem on V1.1.2: ERROR: Failure("resource [spidsm01.CRE] not found for 'COPY'") BG1 EE v2.6 no SoD SETUP-GAENEMYRANDO.DEBUG WeiDU.log

Version 0.7 is released. Changelog: Party Revive After Combat (Beta) for BG1 EE v2.6 (no SoD support). More Proficiency Points for BG1 EE v2.6 (no SoD support). Character Respawn (Beta): made failure protection in Ducal Palace escort mission more subtle. Town Portal (Beta): fixed bug that made portal marker creature health status visible when highlighting details. See first post for more details. This is actually implemented now with "Party Revive After Combat" component. In general, this is how it works: only "party revive" installed -> all characters dead = game over only "character respawn" installed -> protagonist dead = respawn "party revive" + "character respawn" installed -> all characters dead = respawn

Ok, I think I found the reason (I hope). It seems problem was that my global creature had effect with op100 protection from creature type EA = ANYONE. After changing it to ENEMY it seems to work correctly every time (by now). I think op100 EA = ANYONE was problem because cutscene id where I am using MoveGlobalObject is Player1. Strange thing is that it was working correctly after starting new game, but loading game was messing it up (at least it seems loading game was the step necessary to reproduce it). Running "C:Eval('MoveGlobalObject("DBRPMRK",Player1)')" was moving it correctly every time, I was checking GAM files (since creature is invisible too) and probably I messed up files.

Basically it sometimes not work at all, object is not moved to target. So I'm not 100% sure if this is problem with action itself or maybe action call is sometimes skipped because of my code. But after all I think this is something with action or with global object state, because after this happen I tried to do it with console: C:Eval('MoveGlobalObject("DBRPMRK",Player1)') // DBRPMRK is dv of my global object and it is also not moved. When I do it once more, DBRPMRK is moved, but Player1 cannot move then (like it was stuck in place). Then after third time it is finally unblocked and everything seems to be back to normal. Initial call that sometimes not works is made from cutscene. I'm wondering, maybe engine sometimes not finish move properly before cutscene ends and global object remains in some broken state. But I haven't seen anything suspicious in GAM file. This seems to happen only if global object is in different area then Player1.

Does anyone have any problems with MoveGlobalObject? It seems to not working for me randomly. I mean, I'm pretty sure it is not random, but I still haven't figured out minimal steps to reproduce this. I'm wondering, maybe someone knows something off the top of the head, that could help me.

I think in stats.ids there is "HATEDRACE" entry which could be racial enemy. If that's correct, maybe it is possible to detect it in scripts with "CheckStat" trigger or with op318. And if this is also correct you could maybe do what you want in scripts. I'm thinking about something like that: For effect change: for every player check if class is ranger and if you haven't adjusted it yet, then apply some spell that will add effects you want. I'm not sure which exactly opcode it would be, but you could maybe grant -4 damage vs race to negate hardcoded +4? To apply different spell depending on race you can use one of those techniques: In every spell use op318 to protect agains itself if HATEDRACE stat is not the one that this spell is intended for. The you can just apply them all and one that is correct would work, the rest will be blocked. Create long list of blocks for every race "if CheckStat(HATEDRACE, %race%) then apply spell for this race". You can hide this long list of blocks in cutscene and execute it without starting cutscene mode. For change on level up: I think you will need to do that by innate ability that would do it via dialogue and only if ChangeStat script action works correctly with it.The you could track character level in variable and give this innate ability on level up, if there is no simpler way to detect level up. Anyway, this is quite complex for someone new to modding, unless you have some other coding experience. But I just wanted to mention that maybe there is some possibility to do that.

I tested that for op177 on BG:EE 2.6 and it seems to be blocked when saving throw succeeded.

Hi @SparrowJacek Not exactly answer to your question, but in case you would like to do it with EEex combination of EEex_Sprite_GetSelected + EEex_Sprite_GetPortraitIndex should do what you want. C:Eval() by default use creature under the cursor as active creature so probably it will be not useful for you in this case.

Ah, indeed I could check 2DAs. Thank you!

This is probably simple question, but I'm puzzled a bit. Some characters have REACT_TO_DIE_SPECIFIC sound set for reaction to death of specific party member. But how games knows which party member should trigger this sound and which not?

Ah, I see. I was confused because there is also protection from whole resource when HP > 60. But I guess this is additional protection when target HP is lower then 60, but have additional protection against kill opcode itself. Thanks. After all I think I would try to change general to DEAD and restore it later. I found why my code was not working, seems General(.., 0) trigger return true for every general value. Here is how I made it if someone need to do similar thing. This solution is possible because I need to track only few target that I know beforehand (Player1..6): I store general value of creature in local variable: I read general.ids and for every entry I make eff file that sets local variable to ids value (omitting 0 and 3 [DEAD]) In my fake death spell I apply every eff with proper general check (so I apply eff 1 only if general = 1 etc) At the end I change general to DEAD with op72 Revert is a bit more complicated because I haven't found way to apply eff based on local variable so restore needs to be in global script: I create cutscene bcs with blocks "if local variable is x change general to x" for every general.ids entry. One file for every player. Then for every player extend global script with block "if general is DEAD and {it is time to revert} and local variable is not 3 (to prevent eventual looping) then start proper cutscene (without entering cutscene mode)".

I was afraid so. Thank you. I'm working on fake death spell that could be applied on party members and I wanted to also set general to DEAD when it is working. But code that I have now is quite ugly and on the top of that not working (I'm storing general value in local variable and restore it based on that). I want to make raise dead spell to work on characters under my fake death spell. So I could patch raise dead related spells to allow cast also on not dead. I guess reason for adding this general = DEAD requirement is to not apply #rdremov on alive characters. But anyway it is applied with opcode 326 so I could move DEAD check to #rdremov application and remove it from other places (raise dead opcode itself seems to not have problem when casting on alive). There is also DEAD check in power word kill and similar spells, I don;t get what it is doing.

Is there a way to change GENERAL value temporary? Seems like both opcode 72 and ChangeGeneral action overwrites current value and there is no simple revert for it. Am I missing something?

I was not aware about difference between setting state in cre file and setting state as part of the effect. Let me rephrase myself: Timing mode 1 (and probably 4 and 7) sets STATE_SLEEPING and STATE_HELPLESS in cre file. Timing mode 9 seems to set STATE_SLEEPING and STATE_HELPLESS only as part of the effect, what makes it different from other "permanent" timing modes. I think I misunderstood: I was thinking that you refer to note in IESDP: "In case of Timing Modes 1/4/7 the bits cannot be removed in-game".

Perfect. Thank you!

IESDP seems to be right about timing modes. I tested that on BGEE 2.6 with timing mode 1 and it indeed left STATE_HELPLESS even after applying cure sleep opcode. However with timing mode 9 it worked normally, STATE_HELPLESS was removed and character become again selectable. EDIT: It seems that op39 with timing mode 9 doesn't set STATE_SLEEPING and STATE_HELPLESS at all.

I'm looking fot the best way to make AI ignore party member. Something like effect or spl state that can be put on character to make enemies to switch target (or do nothing if no other targets). For now I got best results with Sanctuary opcode, although creatures that are effected by opcode 193 seems to still target such characters. For my particular case it's ok if solution would make party member unselectable with disabled inventory etc. For example I tested opcode 39 with special = 0, but this blacklist side effect doesn't seems to reliable for this use case. Are there any other good options that I am missing?

I found that some effect messages strrefs are externalized in efftext.2da. Maybe this could be somehow useful for you.

If I get it right, what you really asking for is new damage type. This could be impossible without some serious hacking. That's my gut feeling. You could pick one of existing damage types, let's say slashing, and change all strrefs that refers to it to "slashing/bleeding". You need to be careful because resistance and other damage type related things would be shared across those two. Otherwise maybe it would be possible together with some major damage type overhaul. You could join all physical damage types as one, let's say under 0x0. Then you would have 3 free slots. This would ofc require patching all effects in items/spell, damage actions in scripts/dialogues, item/spell descriptions, changing feedback massages and who knows what else. With great power comes great responsibility, that's what they say.

So this is probably some normalization of character state before cutscene, to make sure it will be displayed properly. I guess this makes sense. Probably all effects that alter movement are revoked. This was handy for my before for maze effect, so I cannot complain. Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, those are not removed. I had some other issues with that, but I guess with right combination of make unselectable and clear actions I can make it work reliably. Thank you. BTW do you maybe know if there is something similar for paralyze effect? Something that would freeze character animation but only in visual way (I guess all opcodes that do actual freeze will be removed on cutscene start).

I came across strange thing (at least for my understanding). When I apply opcode 39 (sleep) on player character he drops unconscious and everything is fine. But after StartCutSceneMode() triggers opcode is removed (character is standing up, after cutscene end opcode is gone). I apply it with "no wake on damage" and timing "instant permanent". I'm quite sure that I also saw it before for one of paralyze opcodes, but I didn't investigated further back then. I think also maze opcode is cleared this way. Does anyone know what is exactly mechanics behind that? I would like character to stay unconscious during cutscene, but I want to apply it before cutscene. I'm testing on BGEE.

Version 0.6 is released. Changelog: Town Portal (Beta) for BG1 EE v2.6 (no SoD support). Identification For All for BG1 EE v2.6 (no SoD support). Character Respawn (Beta): added possibility of quick travel back to the place of death after respawn, improved compatibility with awkward formatted spell and item files. More HP on Level One: fixed bug that could cause wrong calculation of companion HP when using kit with different HP progression table than base class, added class/kit descriptions adjustments to properly reflect new HP progression. Camera Lock (Beta): extended help hints with camera lock behavior. See first post for more details.

That makes sense. Thank you! I can only add that BLACKGUARD entry in hpclass is working, so matching is case insensitive, at least with this table.

I'm trying to connect class/kit description to hptable and I'm having hard time. hpclass.2da file "externalizes which HP table to use for each class/kit". We have there entries like: FIGHTER HPWAR BERSERKER HPWAR WIZARD_SLAYER HPWAR BEAST_MASTER HPWAR BLACKGUARD HPWAR CLERIC HPPRS TALOS HPPRS BARBARIAN HPBARB I learned somewhere else that kit entry can be missing and then probably class entry is used. So far so good. Then we have clastext.2da that "defines class/kit related descriptions". We have there entries like: CLASSID KITID LOWER DESCSTR MIXED BIOGRAPHY FALLEN BRIEFDESC FIGHTER 2 16384 7201 9556 1076 15881 0 31252 BERSERKER 2 1 24239 24284 24261 15881 0 31252 WIZARD_SLAYER 2 2 24240 24285 24262 15881 0 31252 BEAST_MASTER 12 9 24247 24300 24269 15888 0 31257 BLACKGUARD 6 32 28604 28606 28605 31492 0 31256 CLERIC 3 16384 7204 24230 1079 15884 0 31255 GODTALOS 3 19 24254 24307 24276 15884 0 31255 BARBARIAN 2 1073741824 24226 24235 24229 31493 0 31268 We can see that this is almost working, but only almost. In hpclass we have TALOS, but here GODTALOS. So, I was thinking that I would use HELP column form kitlist.2da thet also contains description strref. KITID columns in clastext.2da seems to be total mess, sometimes it is kit.ids value and sometimes is row number in kitlist.2da. But I could try to check kitlist.2da agains classes from hpclass.2da. We have there entries like: ROWNAME LOWER MIXED HELP ABILITIES PROFICIENCY UNUSABLE CLASS KITIDS 1 BERSERKER 25298 25329 24284 CLABFI02 29 0x00000001 2 0x00004001 2 WIZARD_SLAYER 25299 25330 24285 CLABFI03 30 0x00000002 2 0x00004002 9 BEASTMASTER 25306 25337 24300 CLABRN04 37 0x00020000 12 0x00004009 19 TALOS 24254 25347 24307 CLABPR02 47 0x01000000 3 0x00004013 30 WILDMAGE 25327 24282 24283 CLABMA01 52 0x80000000 1 0x80000000 31 BARBARIAN 25328 24229 24235 CLABFI05 51 0x40000000 2 0x40000000 32 Blackguard 28604 28605 28606 CLABPA06 53 0x00000021 6 0x00004020 And this is also not matching because we have BEASTMASTER while in hpclass.2da we have BEAST_MASTER (putting aside Blackguard which can be easily converted to uppercase). Then I noticed in kitlist.2da there is KITIDS column so I could have map of kit.ids values to description strrefs. In kit.ids we have: 0x4001 BERSERKER 0x4002 WIZARDSLAYER 0x4009 BEASTMASTER 0x4013 GODTALOS 0x40000000 BARBARIAN 0x4020 Blackguard This doesn't match neither hpclass.2da (WIZARDSLAYER, BEASTMASTER, GODTALOS) nor kitlist.2da (WIZARDSLAYER, GODTALOS). This is pretty much when my brain exploded. I guess game code uses numeric ids instead of those string values. But in hpclass.2da there is no numeric ids of class/kit. So how to translate classes from hpclass.2da to some numeric values I could match agains KITID column of clastext.2da or KITIDS column of kitlist.2da? One of my supposition is that many values in hpclass.2da are in fact invalid, but since only barbarian and dragon disciple use different hp table then base class, this not results with bug during game, because those kits has consistent naming.
