A few minor issues

[Gorilym]

I actually made note of these a week or two, but for some reason I forgot to report them.

 

First, using the 'choose NPC skills and proficiencies' in conjunction with 'move NPCs to more accessible locations', I ran into some weirdness when encountering Viconia south of Beregost. The Flaming Fist enforcer shows up and is dispatched, Viconia entered the party, and then a constant cycle of 'Auto-Paused: Viconia - Target Gone' ensued (with auto-pause turned off it was effectively a stutter) which stopped the party from going anywhere or doing anything, even removing Viconia from the party didn't work properly. Note that the "This character is now level 0" string etc. never appeared in this case. What I eventually did to work around this was reload and CTRL-Y the enforcer as soon as he appeared, Viconia could now enter and leave the party with no issues; however she didn't join at level 0 at this point either. This might be a conflict with Divine Remix, as she appeared as a trueclass cleric in spite of the kit Viconia component being installed.

 

Second, with Ease-of-Use AI turned on, everyone in the party began Auto-Paused: Target Gone looping inside Centeol's Cloakwood spider... dome, (for lack of better words) after everything inside had been killed off. Turning party AI off until I'd exited that area stooped the looping. I thought it a bit strange that this happened in this one minor area and nowhere else, so I figure I'll report it.

I hate to say this, but I've still got a bit of weirdness, and this time I know it's SCS. Ajantis is not losing that longsword that compensates him for starting at level 0, no matter how long he sits there unpaused. I was able to give him his weapon proficiencies, but no additional level up, either.

 

I ran into the same thing with Khalid. Jaheira and Imoen leveled up fine, no problems, but Khalid went to level 1 and that was it.

 

I've uninstalled SCS and will try to reinstall. This would not be the first time that I encountered weirdness because of an odd installation.

 

I'm not getting it, though. This always worked fine before.

IIRC the NPCs only get additional experience / level ups (beyond level 1) if Charname has sufficient experience - so if you're rushing to get K, J & Ajantis Charname probably won't have enough experience for them to go beyond level 1. If you're saying that Imoen leveled up beyond level 1 when she joins east of Candlekeep, that in itself is an oddity. (that is, if you began the game with a character at 0 xp - if you began with more, nevermind)

 

Another thought occured - the problem with Khalid might be connected to the "Make Khalid a Fighter/Mage" tweak if you have that installed.

Um, guilty confessions time. I didn't start the game at level 1. So they should have leveled up a bit. The pc had 6000 xp, so at least some of the NPCs should have leveled up.

Thankfully, my initial diagnosis seems to have been correct. It must have been incomplete installation. Like I said, it's happened before, although not with SCS. Everyone seems to be levelling up as they're supposed to.
