Always buggy. With two simplified #42 effects set to lose 1 spell from each level, my sorcerer's kit loses.... 1 spell per level.

BG2EE 2.6 Beamdog edition.

OOOOPS ! Sorry, too tired. From the start, I should have said effect 42 instead of effect 244. Really sorry.

Have you tested this on a kit with spell level 511 (1 spell of each level) and -X spell in permanent after death duration?

This bug was noticed by a French user on 2 DAWAP sorcerer kits, and I tested all my kits, he was right... for the sorcerer.

Either it's "permanent after death" that creates the bug, or my kits are crap. In any case, no problem for the mage kits.

Also applies to effect #257 Spell: Spell Sequencer Creation

On EE editions, if one of these two effects is used by a pure clerict (without mage levels), the game crashes.
Note: this remark does not apply to oBG2. In this version of the game, a cleric can use these effects without any problem.

This effect works very well when applied to a mage, but is buggy when applied to a sorcerer: with the sorcerer, the parameter must be X+1 for the effect to be correct. For example, if I apply -3 spells to a sorcerer, he'll only lose 2.
It also works the other way round: if I apply +2 spells to a sorcerer, in-game he gains 3 spells.
Tested on several mage / sorcerer kits with parameter 511 (one spell per level) and + or - spells.

French translation corrected, a ~ was missing at the end of a file. Archive available via the link updated.

OK, that's corrected. I worked directly on NI instead of DLTCEP. Complicated, but it's fixed. And it came from the WED once it was loaded into DLTCEP. Thanks a lot.

no, i use the PSTEE WED (renamed PXD190.wed), and when i load the map in DLTECEP, in set the wed to PXD190.

I've already done this on 9 PST maps without any problems, all checked by walking around in-game (BG2EE). So why does THIS one screw up?

I've imported all the AR1900 (player's maze) resources from PSTEE: Are, bmp, mos, tis, wed, and it all corresponds to a square area. However, when I access it in game in BG2EE, it's rectangular, the whole bottom is missing. When I edit the Are in DLTECP, I realise that its size is set to 320x240, and this is greyed out, so I can't change it. Why this bug and what can I do?

This is the 10th card I've imported from PSTEEE to BG2EE and none of the other 9 have had this problem.

"Deratiseur's spell mod" true name "Deratiseur's Interplan" contain now 108 spells. Still in french.

I can traify it if you don't know how to do.

JohnBob and I are pleased to announce the translation of dark tiding into French. Get the archive here.

question: why did you create the language and english directories if all the texts are in the .d files? I wanted to translate the module into French -> no trayified.

I've got few mods installed before :

I'm stuck on a quest resolution: a guy visits different universes and times thanks to an object. He loses this object somewhere in the FRs and comes across the pjs, to whom he offers a great deal if they help him get home. And quickly, because the "interdimensional travel surveillance patrol" is probably already tracking him down. Problem: what can the characters offer to help an extra-dimensional (and extra-temporal) being return to his space/time?
I've already thought of modifying "Wish" to add a line of text if wisdom 15+ -> the pnj would be sent straight home and wouldn't have time to give the reward to the pjs ^^.
I can't think of anything else (it takes more than planar displacement, we're talking about different dimensions and times)
And not "Ribald and his 39K pos", that would make a quest too simple and redundant.
And not "find the lost object in a corner of the map" either, that would make the quest far too simple.

I'm using a downloaded version of iedsp. Thanks for letting me know it's out of date, and sorry :(

DLTCEP for EE editions (7.7 or 7.8.02) bugs with non-English languages. I use the French language and all accents, quotation marks, colons, etc, are replaced by other characters, as with an ansi-utf8 conversion error.

However, EEKeeper can display French texts without any problems, so it's possible.

concerning the effect #18, I tried setting the hit points to 1 with parameter 0: set. Doesn't work. Then I tried 1% with parameter 1: percentage. Doesn't work.

In fact, the minimum maximum hp is fixed: minimum 1hp per level (lvl 6 -> minimum 6, lvl 20 -> minium 20).

Tested on oBG2

Ok, that's work, thanks a lot

I use this for non-simple spell installations such as :

	ADD_SPELL ~Override/pxl2achi.spl~ 2 7 WIZARD_PX_HACHITOZAS_TROOP_IMPROVEMENT    SPRINT current_spell_res "%DEST_RES%"    SAY NAME1 @60729    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @607309    WRITE_ASCIIE 0x34e   "%DEST_RES%" #8    WRITE_SHORT 0x98 ~%pxl2achi%~    SET ZF_inc_duree = 6    LPF MULTI_LEVELS END (custom macro) 

Thanks But that's don't work.

I've tried this :

ADD_SPELL ~Derats_Magasin_2/Objets/Coffre/Dilp/pxl2prag.spl~ 2 4 WIZARD_PX_DEADLY_RAGE SAY NAME1 @130911    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @130912
LAF RES_NUM_OF_SPELL_NAME
STR_VAR spell_name = ~WIZARD_SPELL_NEW~
RET spell_res
END
COPY_EXISTING ~%spell_res%.spl~ ~override/pxl2test.spl~    WRITE_BYTE 0x34 1

That don't work. The debug file say :

question: if I use ADD_SPELL to add a spell to the game with this instruction :

Quote

ADD_SPELL ~Derats_Magasin_2/Sorts/pxl2so2u.spl~ 2 8 WIZARD_PX_BREATH_OF_PORPHATYS    SPRINT current_spell_res "%DEST_RES%"    SAY NAME1 @6087    SAY UNIDENTIFIED_DESC @6088

How can I copy THIS installed spell for a variation? like :

Quote

COPY_EXISTING %DEST_RES% spell"    ~override/pxl2shi3.spl~     WRITE_BYTE 0x34 3

effect #272 doesn't like fights.

I did a simple test: on a ring I added an ability: #272, type 3 frequency 6 -> once per round for 2 turns -> Effect : Colour: Glow by RGB (Brief) [50] on self, 1 seconds. (on use, for 4 turns)
If not in combat, the character glows every round without problem. But if he is in combat, he no longer glows. Or he does very rarely (I've only seen him glow once), I think when he hasn't suffered any attacks (for my tests, the attacker has a taco of 0 and 2 attacks -> critical miss?).

It would be necessary to add to 177 and 272 "the effect does not take into account eventual saving throws, it is applied all the time".

sorry, my mod is in progress, will be released in ....... a long time. but i can give you by mp a link to a wip version, just let me package it. (note, the scritp fot these summoned is for oBG2 only, it don't work on BG2EE (a part of the script (not all) isn't working on BG2EE)

oops, i cannot do it for now. i've have to reinstall for being sure it's ok, but i've made some changes which need many WRITE_BYTE code before installation, so before test. So here is the script. One part to force him to be unsummoned after 3 turns, one part to automatically resurrect him 6 rounds after each death, and the third part to make him an ally and re-equip him, because resurrecting him cuts off the summoning link, de-equips him and removes the linked "unsummon" effect (hence the first part of the script). This script only work on oBG2, because oBG2 can cast a spell (ressurection) on a dead creature, BG2EE can't.
