I don't know if you are already aware but by PnP rules psionic powers actually have a casting time of 0. And, if my memory isn't failing me, what lately often happens, psionic-defenses (like Tower of Iron Will) may be activated up to three at once.

Not criticizing your mechanic, by the way, just giving a feedback.

@subtledoctor Don't worry about me, I probably won't be touching any game until September. I'm just following this thread because Psionics really got my attention since I got my arse kicked by one in a PnP session - I wish Beamdog had the smarts to do an actual expansion adding this class, Warlock and Favored Soul.

I always give to Eldoth my Charlatan kit and Nalia is always turned into either a Bard or a Thief/Abjurer.

Oh, now I see the point. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I'll try this mod in my next playthrough. Probably will give it to Imoen, though.

IIRC, PnP have a similar rule of turning HP into PSP but I haven't read the Complete Psionic Handbook in ages.

you can still use psionics when you have no PSPs left!

What's the point of having PSPs, then?

An honest question, I'm not throwing rocks.

Nope. My clients are going insane with this crisis and Aurora's kindergarten is closed until further notice.

I'm making a bunch of money but time is being more scarce than ever.

I think I know what happened after reviewing it. There was another mod (might have been tweaks) that did not install correctly. When I deleted everything and reinstalled it seemed ok. I am very sorry for wasting your time. I only realised this after noticing other bugs that I had otherwise never seen. Very sorry again.

 

No harm done, don't worry. I'm glad everything is okay.

I hope you enjoy this kit!

@John

I was unable to reproduce. Which game did you find this issue (the picture seems to be from BGEE but it is always good to check)? Can you please attach/send your Weidu.log file so I can take a look? 

Have you somehow skipped the first component? I've checked both in-file and in-game and couldn't see what could be causing it.

Thanks.

Yeah, clerics can't use spears, and so that requires specific tweak. Install the first component. And if you did, well that means that there's a typo in the .tpa.

The first component is mandatory.

I probably messed up and forgot to do something. I'll upload a fix ASAP - this is quite easy to solve.

Thanks for the report, @John and bear in mind that only males can take this kit (females will not be able to cast spells, will not receive special abilities and will not be capable if turning undead).

Great work as always!
Do you still have plans to introduce the Elemental Lords priest?

I have the intention but I'm not sure when I'll have the time.

This isn't being easy times for someone who works with finances and other than that I'm overwhelmed by tons and tons of things to study.

But I can put them as a top priority (the current one is Laduguer or Selvetarm).

@John Fixed.

Version 1.9.7.6.1 is up and it contains:

• Bug fix: Sonlinnor of Moradin now can be installed in BGEE as well.

Ok, my suspicious were correct.

Beamdog gave the same spell.ids for both BGEE and BG2EE but didn't add the same spells...

The code I wrote was developed to avoid this kind of situation; it reads spell.ids and only tries to install the spell if a entry is read on that list.

The problem here is that there is an entry, yet that refers to a file that doesn't exist in game (SPPR730.spl)

The easy coding would be just add the spell filename to be copied by Weidu but by doing so this kind of situation would be common. Apparently adding a IF_EXISTS to this code would not be a redundancy.  

Should be easy to fix, though. I'll do so as soon as I have the time - probably today. My solution will be add a check for BGEE and properly add the spell.

Thanks and sorry for this inconvenience.

Probably it is Aura of Flaming Death. I'll add a command to create this spell in BGEE and will upload a quickfix.

Thanks for reporting, I'll tag you as soon as I have it solved.

@John which game?

Wow, that's a lot of mods.

And looks like you had a special problem with kits - within or without IHU's scope.

I can't give a better advice than: narrow your mod list.

I won't have the time to properly check it, sorry. Anyone who can identify the problem, feel free to answer here.

I always give support to issues with my mods but this is a (huge) crossmodding situation. I build my codes with a little paranoia considering the interaction with other mods what makes the situation presented more challenging.

A suggestion, though: try to install Faiths and Pantheons without those two components from I Hate Undead (or the other way around) as both mods are divine-caster related.

Cheers.

Well, you know I'm all for it. I think this idea is awesome as I always seeing new players struggling with this subject and not rarely us modders keep scratching our heads to solve a bug that is purely related to a bad install order.

I would add another command, though: ForbidInstall (or something like that), as some mods are just impossible to be used at the same time; this one should be able to relate to another mod's component only if necessary. For instance,  DoF can't be used with some components from Tweaks Anthology but many others (most of them) are fine.

Good initiative, Alien.

Which kind of issue do you encounter? I have extended this file many times and don't understand what bothers you.

In one of my playthroughs I've noticed that a bunch of spells that were supposed to be removed by ZoSA were not affected at all by that spell. This was true for Cloud of Pestilence, Writhing Fog and Incendiary Cloud.

To be honest, that spell only worked for Stinking Cloud and Cloudkill - and as long as those were not created by traps or through a creature's special ability.

Now I'm wondering if I experimented some random weird bug or if I'm insane. The only mod I had during this experiment was IWDification.

Version 1.9.7.6 is up and it contains:

Cheers.

No, I don't. I mean, it's a reasonable thing to do given the nature of these creatures (i.e., they're not conjured matter) and how Remove Magic/True Sight/Detect Illusion work...

Thanks, much appreciated.

12 hours ago, Luke said:

I'm working on a mod that aims at revamping all Monster Summoning spells (mainly the AI) and this is how I tweaked those series of spells:

 

I set their GENDER to ILLUSIONARY => On one hand, they're not automatically killed by Death Spell and are not subjected to the Summoning Cap (i.e., you can summon an 'unlimited' number of them, which hopefully makes sense since they're not conjured matter). On the other hand, they're instantly killed by Remove Magic, True Sight/Seeing, Thief's Detect Illusion mode and the like (which also makes sense...)

@Luke Do you mind if I borrow this idea for DoF?

You'll want to upgrade your QDMulti, v0.6 had some problems.  The best version is now Argent77's v0.10.

Also Kjeron's Sequencer_Menu is now at v0.58 IIRC.

I am on pins and needles to know what you mean by this!  I've added the 'Zone of Sweet Air' effect to various spells and psionic abilities in various places, and I am dying to know how you think the normal behavior is deficient.  Yes, I'm a big nerd about this stuff.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll update both files for the next release.

ZoSA is broken - at least in my end. It doesn't remove many effects that it should (a fair example is Cloud of Pestilence). This happens due to the lack of several entries in ClearAir.2da

My goal is to entirely rework that file (if necessary) so it removes all spells that are cloud-based, including traps and some creatures' special abilities. In a vanilla game it is not a big deal but when you add more spell (again, like CoP to a BG(2) game) you start to feel a diference.

Maybe I'm being overzealous but if I can fix something I can't see wait not go ahead and do it.

Just a feedback, ladies and gentleman.

I have some RL things to solve this week but I'll probably be able to also finish ClearAir.2da (my daughter in on a trip with her grandma and that eases my daily schedule a lot).

In case you're wondering "why the official next version is taking so long?" here's a list of all the things that was built since 1.9.7.5 was releases and thus will be available in version 1.9.7.6 onward:

Some of those updates are already available in the urgent 1.9.7.5.1 release.

Cheers.

Sorry for the double post but the new beta (with Moradin, finally!) is available and may be found here.

I'll finish ClearAir.2da and will wait for the new Yeslick release before making the oficial release. While I wait, feel free to play the beta and report every issue you find.

I'll hold my horses with the next release until some things about Yeslick's component are sorted out. Meanwhile I'll try to focus on ClearAir.2da.

Cheers. 

I'm a little excited for this one - too bad I don't have time to play ATM.

The need to be a multiclass is kind of a downer to me but as a fellow modder I know that we work with what we can get.

Me too but I don't think I'll be able to do it until March.
