Hi

 

My Weidu log for Beta 2 - installed Fixpack, 1-PP and a few Tweak components, then almost all the SCSII components (hardest settings in virtually all cases).

Install log looked mostly okay, apart from the following:

No idea if these are significant or not.

 

Any gameplay bugs etc to follow.

End of Irenicus dungeon:

 

Bug in replace +1 with excellent weapons component; inventory icons for all excellent weapons seem to be missing

 

Comments: easily the hardest encounters in the dungeon are now the mage ones - one might consider it slightly unfair that in the ogre mage encounter, he casts horror, and neither Jaheira nor Imoen can cast a resist fear spell. Still, nowhere near impossible. AI on non-mage enemies looks pretty good...intelligent missile targeting, not wasting backstabs on stoneskinned NPCs, etc

 

One question: I found it odd that I could hit the vampire (Ulyvaryl?) with normal weapons. Is this the case in vanilla BG2? I thought not, but I could be wrong.

 

More to come...

It's in vanilla, I think; certainly SCS II doesn't touch her. Designers being nice to new players in their first dungeon probably.

One possible bug...my main PC got chunked by a backstab (by a mugger in the docks, lol) and the game crashed. I have "Prevent party members from dying irreversibly" installed. Unfortunately I couldn't replicate it after numerous attempts (probably due to the low probability of chunking with this component - and CTRL-Y doesn't result in chunking, alas). I'll see if it happens anywhere else in the game.

 

Edit: false alarm I think. I ramped up difficulty to insane & got chunked twice by said muggers, with no crash. Must've been a one-off.

I hope so... it can't have been the no-chunk component, I think, because it doesn't actually do anything to your main character. (If the main character dies you're dead whatever, so there didn't seem much point.) Thanks for checking, though.

Just taken out Rayic Gethras...boy was he a tough cookie. Very impressed by the AI. First time round, after he knocked out almost all his spells, he cast invisibility & just disappeared, so I couldn't kill him (Viconia's dispel invisibility had already been used on his shadow door, and Rayic was too clever to attack in melee & break his invisibility). Several reloads later, I managed to kill him.

 

One minor suggestion - does the AI take into account Viconia's innate magic resistance? Rayic kept casting Melf's Acid Arrow on Viconia, which was largely wasted due to her high MR. From a role-playing perspective, I imagine Rayic would see she was a Drow (and therefore had high MR) and so not use up his individually targeted spells on her.

In a few places I've come across dialogue triggering problems. For example, when you go to kill Mae'var, instead of the dialogue triggering on sight, I have to go right up to him and talk to him. Same thing happens with Gaal doing his speech in the temple district; and something weird was even happening with Habib and his scimitar (he looked like he would have kept on attacking me, albeit remaining non-hostile, had I not spoken to him and triggered the dialogue).

 

Not absolutely sure if this is being caused by SCSII or something else, but as I only have Fixpack, a few Tweakpack components, and 1-PP installed apart from SCSII, it might be worth checking.

Yep, I think these are SCS II errors. I did a fairly systematic check for that sort of error, but all the characters you mention are people I modified quite late in the day and who probably missed the check. I'll sort them.

 

Edit:I don't think Habib is my fault: I haven't changed him in any relevant way. The other two are.

It's supposed to; checking the script, though, I'm not sure it's doing it correctly. I've tightened it.

A few additional bugs/queries:

 

-Quest log "Collect the fee for Gaelen Bayle": amount still shown as 20k GP even though raised to 120k GP

-Phase spider poison - "poisoned" icon not appearing on character portrait (although health diminishes rapidly), has the poison effect been altered in some way?

-Troll mound - are trolls supposed to call for help? The trolls off-screen in the NW part of the mound didn't attack when their fellows by the entrance did, I expected a call for help to bring them over.

The two rakshasa with Ihtafeer failed to turn hostile after Ihtafeer reverted to her true form. There was a kind of "shadow door effect" around them, then they reappeared as blue circled humans as before. I had to attack them to get them to change into rakshasa.

Alibakkar bug in Trademeet - after accepting the quest for the circlet of Trademeet from either Lady Lurraxol or Lord Alibakkar, the Alibakkar guards go crazy and start attacking one another. If you accept the quest from Alibakkar, he joins in the fun also (but only using melee attacks, no magic).

Link to comment

OK, thanks - I can reproduce all of those locally, except the phase spider bug - I don't see how SCS II can be doing this, but it could be something I'm missing. Since the (rather hilarious) Trademeet bug is game-critical, I've included a fix for it in the bugfix download - again, just download and unzip into your override directory.
