Something like, 

“Download Tweaks Anthology, copy ‘setup-CDTweaks.exe’ and rename the copy to ‘setup-Spell_rev.exe’”

…?

I think this would be sufficient.

Or download the Weidu executable from Pocketplane, which I think has instructions for use? But honestly, grabbing another mod and renaming is easier. 

I used the current version from Github. No instruction for my use case is included. This is why I failed. The simple "rename it"-solution is not documented. (Please remember I am an end user, so apologies for my brute force approach)

I did not stumbled across a link to pocketplane on my quest. However, pocketplane seems to point in the direction of github for newest version anyway.

Can you be more explicit about your difficulties? This is something so obvious, and even trivial to me, that I have a genuinely hard time gauging other people's difficulties and write up fool-proof instructions.

1. I install BG to c:\BG
2. I copy the spell_rev folder to c:\BG
3. I open a command line, change directory to the BG installation dir and do weinstall spell_rev (cited your instruction here)
4. I get an error: weinstall is an unknown command
5. I switched to the referenced link:But there is no instruction for instlalling WeiDU on Windows. >> "For Windows and macOS players, WeiDU is included with mods. It’s not something you need to download yourself."
6. I tried to install WeiDU anyway via https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases but there is no installation file, only executables
7. I tried to use the executables via command line, but without success - at this point I gave up and asked for help

Shockingly simple. Thank you!

Anyone reading this, should hop to the SpellRevisions GitHub and download the most recent 4.19rc3 where these and many other bugs are fixed.

@grodrigues Can you please give a brief instruction how to install 4.19rc3? I'm on Windows 11. I tried to follow your instructions under README.md, but with no success. The linked guide states "At a minimum, every mod will add a folder and a setup-ModName.exe file to your game folder."

@Bartimaeus Is there any (technical) reason to not use IRR in conjunction with SR4.19rc1?

Playin solo?

F/C with Sanctuary + Cause Wounds can one-shot many human enemys in late BG1/early BG2 as an opener. Better than the usual thief, because it bypasses stoneskins and spell protections. Really powerful.

@Bartimaeus What about this?

In combination with SRR, the installation of SCS 34.3 gives errors for druid.tph (there is no error without SRR)

In ...\stratagems\priest\spellchoices_defensive\demivrgvs\druid.tph Line 41 a bracket is missing.

PUSH_RANDOM spells (DEFENSIVE_HARMONY null
should be
PUSH_RANDOM spells (DEFENSIVE_HARMONY null)

This fixed it for me.

Typo @Level 6 Druid spell Conjure Earth Elemental:

Effect: Druids will not be patched and act pathetic like in the unmodded game.

You need to edit the file before the installation. Decompress the mod, exit the auto-launched setup, edit the file and then start setup-strategems.exe again.

Trying to understand how SCS is coded is like casting Confusion on yourself.

4 instances of this CRE in the backup folder. The only one with the Band of Focus is in ..\weidu_external\backup\stratagems\6000

I assume this means component 6000 (Smarter general AI) of SCS changes the file. Is this correct? Shall I post it in the SCS forums?

SENKEN01.cre(The'lynn'ss, Sendai's Kensai) Doesn't drop Bands of Focus.

Old but also true for my game. Perhaps SCS alters the cre?

Does anyone know where to find the Bands of Focus? @Bartimaeus Did you relocate them?

V1.3.700 released.

Great work!

Please, nobody find any major bugs with this, because I don't want to work on this in a big way for at least a few weeks.

I'm done with my playthroughs for a while, so enjoy your time

Thank you. Nevermind where the spell is listed in the end, as long as it works

Your file works as intended. One difference ingame: The HLA from your file is listed in the abilities tab, while the other HLA is listed in the spells tab (which I think is the better way).

Ok SPWI923 is working, but my wizard was using SPCL109 as HLA (though I cannot see a difference in Nearfinity).

My guess: The installation is bugged due to the subsequent installation of "HLA to Innates" from SCS. So no bug in SRR 

spcl109.spl spwi923.spl

In my game (SCS, IRR, SRR v1.3.611), Summon Planetar doesn't work. After the spell is cast, there is summoned... nothing.

Splendid.

So should SCS patch these two remaining sources or will SRR/IRR handle the problem?

Yes. Good call. If you cannot reproduce the problem, I will run some tests to see if it's a SCS problem.

SCS? 

It's strange. The fire damage is in the log, but only once. All other sources of fire damage gives additional damage. Other spells work fine.

I installed the HLA to Innates component of SCS afterwards, so perhaps there is a hiccup because of this.

It's so nice to see how dedicated Bartimaeus is I just feel happy.

+1

Another Bug:

The Aura of Flaming Death HLA gives fire damge to attacks. But it is not possible to kill trolls with that damage.

The "Spellcasting HLAs as Innates" component seems to be disfunctional. I have not yet been able to find the cause. Could someone please do a crosscheck on this?

I forced SCS to install the according component and it works. (Normally it is skipped when SR is present)

Bugreport:

Scroll of "Animate Warrior" is usable by Illusionists. Unusable for Diviners. Should be vice versa.
