Since this animation is mostly used for humanoid-sized creatures I think it looks generally more natural with adjusted health bar positions - even for invisible creatures such as Invisible Stalkers or the Mephit portals. More screenshots:

[BG1,BG2,IWD] Doom Guard creature animations should display damage indicator at correct height Damage indicator for creatures that use the Doom Guard animation is currently shown at the feet of the creatures. A "height_offset" definition with an appropriate value should be added to the respective INI files to adjust it to correct height. Affected animations: - 6405.INI (doom_guard) - 6406.INI (doom_guard_larger) Screenshot: More info in topic: Creature animations with incorrect health bar positions

First step would be to find out why it breaks sometimes. The scripting hasn't changed since oBG2 and looks good in NI. But complex scripting like that probably shouldn't be executed directly in a dialog though.

That sounds like an original game bug. EEFP doesn't touch the door scripting. (Btw, that happened to me as well, especially in oBG2.)

Offset to the script resref is incorrect. It is 0x48 instead of 0x3c (IESDP info). I would also suggest to add the "NULL" argument to READ_ASCII, so that trailing \0 characters are skipped. As subtledoctor mentioned, don't compare the script with "None". This is only a symbolic placeholder in NI to indicate that the script field is empty. Use an empty string instead.

[BG1] Tersus in the Bandit Camp should not give you 6 leather armor if the party consists of fewer than 6 members Tersus always gives you 6 leather armor in his dialog. That's not a bug per se but probably just legacy scripting from oBG1 that has been ported to BGEE. I'd suggest to fix it by adding multiple dialog transitions which check for currenty party size and hand out an appropriate number of leather armor. Edit: I didn't test thoroughly enough. This is only a problem in EET. BGEE seems to have a different targeting behavior than BG2EE and doesn't create additional armor if targets don't exist.

Temple services like Raise Dead or Resurrection are level-dependent while scrolls are not. The higher your level the higher the price of the service. The base prices for these services are actually quite cheap. A level 1 character can be raised for 100 gold and resurrected for 150 gold. Edit: It looks like prices for Raise Dead and Resurrection are capped at 10,000 and 15,000 gold respectively, so they won't rise indefinitely.

Several BAM files that are used for displaying GUI elements use the (pvrz-based) BAM V2 format. These files can produce the same visual glitches around borders as seen by map tilesets. Since BAM V1 supports alpha-blending it should be possible to fix these glitches by converting the affected files to the BAM V1 format. Examples:

Baeloth's appearance starts with a helper creature, spawned via CreateCreature("BAINVI",[2038.2947],S) in AR2900.BCS.

From a technical standpoint it is the order of state trigger entries in the DLG resource that defines the "weight" of a state. That's why WEIGHT only makes sense for dialog states with state triggers. A good example for WEIGHT'ed states is 25SPELL.DLG in BG2 where state 0 is actually considered as the least important state in the opening states order.

It should work with iconv: iconv -f iso-8859-15 -t cp1252 oldfile.txt >newfile.txt

Opcode 42 also worked as intended in my tests, as long as negative amounts are limited to -1. Otherwise, strange things can happen. This is also noted in the IESDP description of the effect. You can add multiple effect instances if you want to reduce the slot amount by more than one slot.

Wares of the Planes is a mod that introduces a large number of weapons and accessories from the Planescape universe to the Baldur's Gate series. The items can be purchased from a unique travelling merchant who is available throughout the whole game series. The mod is available for BG:EE, SoD, BG2:EE and EET. Version 1.2 introduces a good number of new and interesting artifacts from the Planescape universe and fixes several spelling errors. You can grab the mod from the download link below.

No, I tested it on an item I was just working on that uses this opcode. It could be that it works differently when applied via kit CLAB.

I can't reproduce this issue in BG2EE. op244 effect drained the exact number of spell from a sorcerer in my tests.

BGEE and SoD are installed as one game. The DLC Merger ensures that both campaigns can be properly modded. BG2EE is a separate game and has to be modded separately.

Modmerge is outdated. Use DLC Merger instead. It can be installed like a regular mod. Just make sure to install it as the very first mod, because every other mod depends on it.

I haven't heard about it from the other EE games yet. I was able to trigger this issue in BG2EE too. It looks like this combo should be avoided in all games.

WeiDU handles patching of the game executable just like every other game resource that is patched by a mod. The bgmain.exe is a big file (over 7 MB). It's very unlikely that both mods patch the same byte sequence in the file. It should be fine to install both mods. But you should consult the readmes of the mods just in case.

I haven't heard about it from the other EE games yet. But they all use the same engine, so it could affect these games, too. In any case, I don't see a need for an EndCutSceneMode() if it's followed by a Dialog() call. (Unless the dialog is not guaranteed to trigger. In that case it would make sense to add EndCutSceneMode() *after* the Dialog() call.) That should be fine. The dialog should have ended cutscene mode already, so the final EndCutSceneMode() call does nothing except waste two AI ticks.

The combo of EndCutSceneMode() and StartDialogNoSet() or Dialog() is commonly used in many cutscenes in IWDEE. Examples are EEPEQTLK.BCS or EEPOQCT1.BCS. According to Bubb there is a 2 AI-tick gap between execution of these two actions. This gap allows unrelated script actions to be executed in rare cases which may interfere with the scripted events in unintended ways. I could reproduce it with the Cornugons and Iron Golems in the final battle at Jarred's Stone where sometimes either a Cornugon or an Iron Golem moved to the party while the series of cutscenes was still being executed. Since there are several transitions between cutscenes and dialogs it is potentially possible that the party is also attacked by the creatures (or worse, has to suffer from the Iron Golem's cloud ability) while still being locked in cutscene mode. If there is no particular reason for the EndCutSceneMode() action to be present, I'd suggest removing it in all these cases.

Spellhold Studios Test Your Mettle! Test Your Mettle! is a mod for BG2:EE and EET that provides you with a unique dungeon crawling experience. Version 1.5 provides Simplified Chinese translation as well as various improvements and bugfixes. Full changelog: Added Simplified Chinese translation (thanks yoshimo0417) Improved event of unsealing the boss chamber Improved several visual effects Improved general mod compatibility Fixed missing spell effect of a Drone penalty on heavy damage Minor creature fixes Links: Forums: SHS, Beamdog Download: GitHub Readme

That has been fixed last year in one of the commits among many other issues. In general, EET has been greatly improved since the latest official release. By now I would always suggest to download and play the latest master branch version instead of the (outdated) release version.
