Fixes for PsTEE

String Fixes

Textual changes were made to correct errors or reflect other changes. Note that this is limited to material or factual errors; spelling, grammar, or other typos are handled by the Game Text Update.

• Made several small changes to item names to match their descriptions. (strrefs #5127, #30450, #48826)
• The spell 'Blessing' was referred to as 'Bless' in several places. (strrefs #48846, #48848, #51299. #51301, #52837)
• Clarified that Protection from Evil surrounds the target, not the caster, with a circle of protection. (strref #48851, #51303)
• Standardized class names in a few spell descriptions. (strref #51013, #51019, #51068)
• The Rod of Modron Might should mention that it's only usable by TNO. (strref #52070)

• Several items in areas were without charges. (ar0108.are, ar0701.are, ar0704.are, ar1700.are)
• One anarachist was on impassable terrain and moved. (ar0902.are)
• One of the spawn points in the Warrens of Thought had broken coordinates. (ar1600.ini)
• Due to a difference in how the engine processes scripts, the Baator map should be populated with more enemies. (1000fnd.bcs)

Dialogue Fixes

• The Monster Jug in Vrischika's Curiosity Shop should cost 123 coppers. (dvrisch.dlg)
• Three dialogues set duplicate journal entries, and are fixed. (dkitla.dlg, dgrace.dlg, dpillar.dlg)
• One of the replies in Fall-from-Grace's dialogue used the wrong string. (dgrace.dlg)
• When Ingress' teeth are upgraded, they should preserve the damage type. (ipteeth.dlg)

Item Fixes

Scripting/AI Fixes

(0000bxd2.bcs, 0000hgrd.bcs, 0000hsrg.bcs, 0209skel.bcs, 0209skld.bcs, 0402tegr.bcs, 0403drnk.bcs, 0403gang.bcs, 0403gdul.bcs, 0403ggng.bcs, 0403gngb.bcs, 0403hivr.bcs, 0403mage.bcs, 0403pain.bcs, 0403prop.bcs, 0403sent.bcs, 0403thg1.bcs, 0403thg2.bcs, 0500fhgd.bcs, 0500mhgd.bcs, 0700atta.bcs, 0701atta.bcs, 0701hgrd.bcs, 0702gar2.bcs, 0702gar3.bcs, 0702gard.bcs, 0702prsn.bcs, 0702town.bcs, 0702tria.bcs, 0708abas.bcs, 0708camp.bcs, 0708corn.bcs, 0708ghri.bcs, 0708tre0.bcs, 0708tre1.bcs, 0708tre2.bcs, 0900avng.bcs, 0900gnr1.bcs, 0900gnr2.bcs, 0900grdg.bcs, 0900hrs1.bcs, 0900hrs2.bcs, 0900hrs3.bcs, 0900jjog.bcs, 0900loot.bcs, 0900mob.bcs, 0900tem1.bcs, 0900tem2.bcs, 0900tem3.bcs, 0900tem4.bcs, 0900thgb.bcs, 0901geh6.bcs, 0901gehr.bcs, 0901grds.bcs, 0901loot.bcs, 0902ana0.bcs, 0902ana1.bcs, 0902ana2.bcs, 0902ana5.bcs, 0902ana6.bcs, 0902ebbb.bcs, 0903thg.bcs, 0904guy.bcs, 1000abd2.bcs, 1000abid.bcs, 1000corb.bcs, 1000corc.bcs, 1000cut3.bcs, 1000fnds.bcs, 1100anim.bcs, 1100grg0.bcs, 1100grg4.bcs, 1101atta.bcs, 1101cut3.bcs, 1101cut4.bcs, 1101fhju.bcs, 1202vhai.bcs, 1203inc.bcs, 1203inc1.bcs, 1203inc2.bcs, 1203inc3.bcs, 2000cati.bcs, 3015grd1.bcs, 3015grd2.bcs, 3015sohm.bcs)

Animation Fixes

• The shadow for the Pillar of Skulls is now visible. (ar1001.are, ar3017.are, posshad.bam)

Probability Fixes

Items and spells had systematic errors where effects that had an x% chance to occur were generally off by 1%, e.g. the Black Blade of Disaster is supposed to level drain on 10% of hits but was actually doing it on 11% of hits. This also affected spells, particularly the ones that had chances to summon different numbers of creatures. (aclue.itm, acontrac.itm, agoody.itm, agscroll.itm, amace.itm, baatorsk.itm, bagocoin.itm, bagteeth.itm, bhanky.itm, bolt01.itm, bseed1.itm, bstorm.spl, carcersk.itm, cddetevl.spl, cheese.itm, circle02.itm, circle03.itm, circle04.itm, circle05.itm, circle06.itm, circle07.itm, circle08.itm, club2.itm, copearc.itm, copperco.itm, cpencil.itm, crags.itm, crstbone.itm, crumleg.itm, cveil.itm, ddmace.itm, devildue.itm, dgem.itm, dhell.spl, dlegacy1.itm, dlrakey.itm, doornote.itm, dremind.itm, drequest.itm, drmkey.itm, drmvial.itm, dtears.itm, ecnote.itm, elixirs.itm, enoll.itm, evidence.itm, exodie.spl, falsecon.itm, fdag.itm, fdteeth.itm, fingbone.itm, giltbill.itm, giltnote.itm, giltpost.itm, grinder.itm, gtoken.itm, hanky.itm, iannikey.itm, ignus01.itm, ignus02.itm, ignus03.itm, ignus04.itm, inkwell.itm, iron2.itm, iron3.itm, junk.itm, kestleg.itm, keydn.itm, keyem.itm, keymo.itm, keymo2.itm, keypr.itm, loandoc.itm, logpage.itm, loveltr.itm, magitm.itm, modmite.itm, monjug.itm, n1201.itm, negmatsk.itm, nettles.itm, npharod.itm, ntoken.itm, obsidian.itm, parch.itm, pcheese.itm, pennote.itm, phinkey.itm, porlens.itm, porneck.itm, pouch.itm, ptkey1.itm, ptkey2.itm, ptkey3.itm, ptkey4.itm, purse.itm, ravelhai.itm, receipt.itm, receipt2.itm, recipe01.itm, recipe02.itm, recipe03.itm, repelun.itm, sctrap.itm, shard.itm, skinscrp.itm, skregret.itm, skscrap.itm, skulpend.itm, soul.itm, spwi107.spl, spwi116.spl, spwi121.spl, strap.itm, sveil.itm, tail.itm, tails.itm, tasklist.itm, tawl.itm, tombplan.itm, tpunch.itm, vkey.itm, wscroll.itm)

Creature Coloration Fixes

PsT and PsTEE have fundamental differences in how they handle special creature coloring: PsT allowed for per-creature effects, whereas the EEs run everything through a central animation definition. As such, several unique colorings and effects were lost in the conversion, which are fixed. (aaalek.cre, animate.ids, anizius.cre, baria.cre, barih.cre, barkis.cre, brasken.cre, burgher.cre, cmerch1.cre, cmerch2.cre, cmerch3.cre, dlgproxy.cre, dndoubt.cre, dn_zomf.cre, dn_zomf1.cre, dn_zomf2.cre, dn_zomf3.cre, dn_zomf4.cre, dn_zomf5.cre, dn_zomf6.cre, dn_zomm.cre, dn_zomm1.cre, dn_zomm2.cre, dn_zomm3.cre, dn_zomm4.cre, dn_zomm5.cre, dn_zomm6.cre, f002.ini, f006.ini, f00a.ini, f00b.ini, f00d.ini, f010.ini, f013.ini, f014.ini, f019.ini, f01a.ini, f01d.ini, f01f.ini, f02a.ini, f037.ini, f03b.ini, f03c.ini, f03d.ini, f03e.ini, f03f.ini, f040.ini, f047.ini, f048.ini, f04b.ini, f04c.ini, f050.ini, f053.ini, f054.ini, f055.ini, f056.ini, f058.ini, f059.ini, f05c.ini, f05f.ini, f062.ini, f063.ini, f064.ini, f065.ini, f066.ini, fleece.cre, gaoha.cre, gith.cre, gith2.cre, gspirit.cre, ilquix.cre, ilquixn.cre, jhelai.cre, jumble.cre, merchmo.cre, merchmo2.cre, mftree.cre, nonamez.cre, phineas.cre, pk.cre, post.cre, pthug1.cre, quell.cre, quint.cre, sbaur.cre, sdmage.cre, siabha.cre, skelbar.cre, stalema.cre, thugoe.cre, touthvd.cre, vaxis.cre, warr5.cre, xach.cre, z569.cre, z825.cre, zf1072.cre, zf1096.cre, zf114.cre, zf1148.cre, zf444.cre, zf594.cre, zf626.cre, zf679.cre, zf832.cre, zf891.cre, zf916.cre, zfweak.cre, zm1041.cre, zm1094.cre, zm1146.cre, zm1201.cre, zm1445.cre, zm1508.cre, zm1664.cre, zm199.cre, zm257.cre, zm310.cre, zm396.cre, zm463.cre, zm475.cre, zm506.cre, zm569.cre, zm613.cre, zm732.cre, zm782.cre, zm79.cre, zm825.cre, zm965.cre, zm985.cre, zmweak.cre, zombie.cre, zombie2.cre, zombie3.cre, zombie4.cre, zombief.cre, zombief2.cre, zombief3.cre, zombiew1.cre, zombiew2.cre, zombiew3.cre, zombiew4.cre, zomfbar1.cre, zomfbar2.cre, zomfbar3.cre, zommbar.cre, zommbou.cre, zommbou2.cre)
