I have looked for it, but only found a fix for the disappearing simulacrum. I have a bug where simulacrums in SR/SCS ignore any orders (reported here on gibberlings).

Simluacrum is bugged in beta 14 (haven't tested beta 15 yet), so unless its script got fixed, this would replace one problematic clone with another. For now I've restored the original dispel magic, which has no problem removing PIs.

I find the implementation of project image problematic. In vanilla game, you could destroy your own images by dispelling them, which was instant and always succesful. Now with dispel being remove magic, this doesn't work. Unfortunately, the 'image gets dispelled when caster takes damage' doesn't always work either, because not everything registers as damage. For example, if my stoneskin-protected caster gets munched on by a mindflayer (easy to happen in SCS, because they teleport directly to PC), their 'devour brain' attack doesn't register as damage. And with the PI lacking improved alacrity, it can't even damage itself with spells quickly enough to make it dissapear.

Summon names were messed up in my SCS/SR SoD run (gog version), even though I had run modmerge before.

The simulacrum clone keeps acting weird in my game. It seems as if it gets asigned a script of its own, because: a) every once and then it will proclaim something along the lines "you can't hide from a mage" and cast oracle, even though this spell isn't in my dragon disciple's spellbook b) when ordered to cast a spell, it will often just stand there doing nothing, c) when ordered to attack, it will often stop attacking and just stand there doing nothing. And a less problematic, but more cheesy bug: you can have simulacrums of simulacrums. weidu log: // Log of Currently Installed WeiDU Mods // The top of the file is the 'oldest' mod // ~TP2_File~ #language_number #component_number // [subcomponent Name -> ] Component Name [ : Version] ~SETUP-WEIDU.TP2~ #0 #0 // 24000 ~SETUP-BWS.TP2~ #0 #0 // 20161130 - Updated by agb1 (installation started 2017-02-26) ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #0 // Ascension Core (requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #1 // Tougher Abazigal (optional, requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #2 // Original Tougher Demogorgon (optional, requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #3 // Tougher Gromnir (optional, requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #4 // Tougher Illasera (optional, requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #5 // Tougher Yaga-Shura (optional, requires ToB): v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~ASCENSION/SETUP-ASCENSION.TP2~ #0 #103 // Restored Bhaalspawn Powers by David Gaider: v1.51 BETA BWP 20161205 ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #0 // Spell Revisions: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #10 // Deva and Planetar Animations: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #20 // Mirror Image Fix: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #30 // Dispel Magic Fix: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #50 // Remove Disabled Spells from Spell Selection Screens: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #55 // Spell Deflection blocks AoE spells: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~SPELL_REV/SETUP-SPELL_REV.TP2~ #0 #60 // Update Spellbooks of Joinable NPCs: v4 Beta 14 BWP Fix ~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #1000 // Initialise mod (all other components require this): v30 BWP fix + K4thos' EET compatibility + kreso's Spell Revisions compatibility ~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #2010 // More consistent Breach spell (always affects liches and rakshasas;

Yeah, but the monster summonings are part of the long-duration prebuffing, it seems. I have the "Mages only cast short-duration spells instantly at start of combat if they are created in sight of the PC" installed, but even mages that are present in the area when my PC arrives have summons precast. I wouldn't mind if they were skeletons, because those last 8 hours, but these last 3 turns. edit: I have attached a screenshot from the Umar Hills dungeon. The lich in question is at the end of the dungeon, far away from the PC.

Yeah, I understand this is probably very frustrating. I'm kinda hoping Demi will tweak MSIX to summon something else rather than basilisk. My main gripe against how AI mages play is that most of them are piss-poor weak w/o some meatshields if they're solo like Lavok, which is the main idea behind this tweak. While I can uderstand that original SCS idea isn't to beef up such encounters; I'd probably rework some of them. Example of what I'm pointing at: Lavok is supposed to be an ultra-powerful mage. With SCS, he has levels, he has spells, he has "brains" to use them, yet the battle is very easy since he can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers - and this makes all his levels, spells and "brains" moot since after he eats a Breach spell he's pretty much dead, with the player witnessing approx 20% of what he CAN do, but usually fails to. If he's that powerful, couldn't he create some creatures that assist him? Has some deal with a Demon from the Planes? Just imagine this battle now vs one where you'd have Lavok + a Pit Fiend or two. A Lich could also be there. Now you've got a worthy battle, not some solo schmuck mage with a unique animation. There are quite a few such encounters in SoA. ToB is (imo) much more balanced regarding; mages are rarely alone there. Improved Anvil goes around that by increasing enemy immunities so they last much longer, but that's not really the direction I want to go. Thus, I went for instant summons to at least give mages some backup. If I find the time and willpower to learn more about scripting (I do already know a thing or two; I just need to learn the finesse stuff) I could probably make an optional component; or a mini-mod for "more beefy encounters". Well, in my current LoB/SR/SCS run those demons Lavok summoned ate him. That said, I really dislike the way the long time buffs are changed from original SCS. The great thing about (original) SCS is that I can use it for both my powergaming AND roleplaying runs, because the short prebuffs component is optional. In my rp runs I tend to restrict my party's items/spells/abilities/prebuffing, but at the same time I want the enemies to be at least somewhat believable and that is why I have the short prebuffs usually off. As it is, SR/SCS is like fighting Tactics-mages, with their "nevermind if that makes sense" prebuffing routine; and while Tactics is one of my favourite mods I wouldn't use it for a roleplaying run. Same with SR/SCS. I don't care that without it mages are a bit weaker, because the point of SCS isn't - at least not for me - to increase the difficulty of everything, but to make the enemies less stupid, but not outright cheating.

I've had this bug on a BG2 (gog version) / Ascension / SCS install. The golem's cursed wound is removable by the mage or cleric spell, but it is not recognized in temples as a curse.

Heh, I never install duergars since I use Dungeon-B-Gone; and I never use polymorph self spell. Will check it out. Fwiw, Pro Missiles is seriously OP in SR anyway, so I don't use that either . edit: actually, after some testing, it has turned out this spell doesn't work for me at all

Protection from missiles doesn't protect from the duergar archers added by the SCS mod (those that replace goblins) in Jon Bon's dungeon. Also (though this bug isn't directly SCS-related), the sword spider form (from polymorph self) is not immune to the slow effect of web.

This is completely off topic - apologies for that, but I didn't want to start a new topic just for this one question - but is there any chance for the "SCS in IWDEE" in some distant future?

Well I can reproduce this bug just fine.

I've had the same bug, and I think I've seen it reported on beamdog forums too. I haven't been able to pinpoint what it was - casting the spell, animal summons or the other druid appearing, though. Btw, just wanted to say thank you for your hard work! As someone with non-existent computer-related skills I really appreciate the effort modders make BG a great experience even after all this years. :-)

I've made a separate thread for this, but since it is a bug, I'm re-posting it here. Trying to install SCS v.30 on BG1Tutu stops because of the following line: SFO: Applying patch(es) to CRE file(s) pargus wilf nader arlin catura... references to pargus.cre etc., whereas in BG1Tutu those creatures are found under _pargus.cre, with the "_" before file name. Other .cre SCS references use correct file names, so I don't get why this one doesn't. I managed to get SCS to install by using nearinfinity to export and save those .cre files as pargus.cre etc. in the override folder.

I am playin a solo fighter/thief in BG2. The golem "cursed wound" is not being recognized by temples. Is there a way to remove this curse besides hiring a cleric to do it? If not, would it be possible to make it not permament?
