LPF ALTER_EFFECT INT_VAR match_opcode = 142 parameter2 = icon END

The reason you might want to match on parameter 2 is if the resource (spl/itm/cre) has multiple 142 effects that display different icons. It lets you target the effects that reference a specific icon and leave the effects that reference other icons alone. If you are using it to modify your .spl file that has only a single 142 effect, you could get rid of match_parameter2 entirely.

Cam's documentation of cd_new_portrait_icon includes this tip: Are you copying the BAM file to the override? Edit: Regarding the ALTER_EFFECT function, based on the parameters provided, it will alter effects in the SPL that are using opcode 142 and have parameter 2 (icon) set to 94. In the latest version of your mod, dtkshrdb.spl has a 142 effect with parameter 2 set to 204, so it won't match.

As you noticed, your best bet for determining changes is by comparing the two descriptions. We used to have a short summary of the changes to each spell but it became very outdated and wouldn't be of any help in its current state. Viewing all the spell descriptions of one level on a single page is sort of similar to the request that @ThreeQuarters made to view ALL the spell descriptions on one page. Would something like that, ordered by level, work for you? I've moved the rest of your questions here.

Are you starting a new game when testing?

Nope. You'd have to use an IF statement.

Thanks for your help to get it there! P.S. We've got a v4b18 now too.

Here are some links to the ToBEx readme sections dealing with spells.2da: Mage Spells and Priest Spells.

spells.2da theoretically determines which spells are automatically displayed in-game. In vanilla, the file did nothing, but ToBEx made it work. I don't know whether the EEs use it or not. (I assume they don't, since the file only goes up to 7th level.) ADD_SPELL in WeiDU currently only considers adding spells in the range 1 to 50 and will display a message if it can't find a spot ("Couldn't add X to spell.ids as no slots remain"). It wouldn't be hard to change it to read from spells.2da, but you'd need to write a separate mod that would increase the limits in spells.2da (and update hidespl.2da accordingly). If spells.2da isn't used in the EEs, this doesn't seem very worthwhile.

That sounds like a bug in the forum software. If you can provide a set of steps that results in this behaviour, we can pass the info along but that's about all we can do.

Thanks for the feedback. I've moved your post here so it won't get lost. I don't have the answers to your questions but maybe someone else can jump in.

Those serve completely different purposes - one is copying a single specific spell and the other is copying every single spell. The first option is appropriate for this scenario.

Okay. I've turned them into buttons that take you back to the spell list with the class filter applied.

Thanks, I've updated it so the icons are now all displayed at their original size. You may need to do a hard reload to see the change. Thanks for the kind words. I'll consider this. For now, you can view the mod's translation files to see the entire set of arcane and divine descriptions at once.

This release deals with spell icons and spell icons only. All of the icons included in the mod have been assessed and updated where needed to match the 1PP/EE style, thanks to bob_veng. Several icons have been redesigned or recoloured by bob_veng: Magic Fang Gust of Wind Enchanted Weapon Animal Growth In addition, a number of new icons have been added by bob_veng and DreamSlaveOne: Regenerate Light Wounds Regenerate Moderate Wounds Regenerate Serious Wounds Regenerate Critical Wounds Mass Regenerate Regeneration Strength of Stone Dimension Jump True Strike Protection from Elemental Energy Banishment Greater Spell Deflection You can preview these icons in the online documentation on the spell lists and spell pages, but the best viewing experience is in-game. I can't express how much it means to have such wonderful art in the mod. Thank you to @bob_veng, @DreamSlaveOne, @Pacek, @scorpio, @yarpen, and everyone else who has contributed over the years.

The v4b17 package installs without errors. These particular files were renamed, yes, but all the references to them were renamed to match. My guess is that the user has a version of main_component.tpa from before v4b17. Perhaps they are using v4b17 in conjunction with SR Revised v1.1.0. SR Revised hasn't been updated for compatibility with v4b17 yet. The user should choose between v4b17 only or v4b16 + SR Revised v1.1.0.

You're installing with WeiDU v242, which is about 2 years out of date. The latest version is v246. You can download the Mac version of it here. You'll need to rename it to setup-DeitiesOfFaerun.

It sounds like you're downloading from GitHub, in which case you should be clicking the Releases tab and choosing the appropriate package for your operating system from the most recent release. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of the mod from the download center here on the site.

Fixed. v8 is now available from the download center.

I've updated the first post to fix the formatting issue. The software used to store post content in BBcode format. The editor had the option to swap between the WYSIWYG version and a text editor for the underlying BBcode. The rewrite of the software (IPS 4+) changed the format that posts are stored in to HTML. The editor can accept BBcode and transform it into HTML, but not the other way around. This wouldn't be so much of the problem if the editor didn't have various quirks and bugs that mangle things every once in a while.

Because the forum software no longer uses BBcode under the hood. What do you want changed in the second half of the post?

Vanilla spell descriptions are now included in the online documentation and I spiffed up the individual spell pages a bit.

For reference, this is opcode 330. I don't understand how the effect works, but it references strref 45232 in parameter 3. Strings 45232–45239 all appear to be lines that it should display. I don't know if it's hardcoded to use the 7 sequential strrefs starting at the one listed in parameter 3, but that's where I'd start experimenting. If that is how it works, then you'll have to figure out how to insert 7 strrefs sequentially, with sounds, which sounds like a fun challenge.

No, but I can add that.

True. Protection from Evil no longer has a specific demon-repelling ability. The chance of this being added to SR is extremely low. No, but IR does.
