Several issues

[GhostNWN]

Hello.

 

Since I didn't want to post a new topic for every single thing I think may or may not need fixing, i'll post it all here in this one topic. Please feel free to break it down into several issues.

 

- (German version only) Spell description for Larloch's Minor drain is incorrectly stating that the target will lose 2 levels when hit instead of taking 4 damage which become temporary hitpoints for the caster.

 

- Pickpocketing (while invisible) Carston (Firkraag's mage) for the key and freeing Windspear's child may allow completion of this quest (42500 experience per party member). However, you can then go back to Firkraag, talk to him and he seems oblivious to the fact that the child is free. Thus, you can then get the quest from him to take the ownership notice off Windspear and return it to Firkraag who is supposed to kill the child in the meantime (which does not happen as its free) and get another 40500 experience per party member. This is probably not supposed to happen as only one of these options should be completable.

 

- Description of what Chromatic orb does post level 11 is lacking.

 

- Magic resistance stacks in a weird fashion. Cloak + rings stack fairly permanently but do not always stack with items such as weapons. I.e. having Ring of Gaxx and Carsomyr can grant either 50 or 60 magic resistance depending on whether you equip Gaxx first or last respectively. Selecting a weapon here counts as re-equipping which would reduce it back to 50.

 

- Potions cannot be bought from shops when inventory is full even if said potion is already present and still has stack size left in the inventory.

 

- Similarly, stackable items cannot be picked up from the floor on the adventure screen if inventory is full under the same conditions as above but can be added in inventory screen manually without dropping/repicking.

 

- (Possibly tweak pack related issue but not sure) Kensai THAC0/Damage progression is problematic. A 27th level Kensai only gets +7 to either instead of +9. Similarly, the weapon speed reduction Kensais are supposed to get is not working at all.

 

- Interestingly enough, Kensai get the Kai ability for every character level, not just Kensai level. This is noticeable in a dual classed Kensai where the new class supercedes the Kensai class.

 

- The cloak obtained at the Sahuagin underwater city (the one which is supposed to hold off any targeted damage spell) is not working properly. I had some NPCs successfully cast Magic Missile, Horrid Wilting and Fireballs at times while at other times the cloak actually blocked them. Could this be an issue with this cloak not working properly in conjunction with magical resistance and/or damage type resistances?

 

- [EDIT] Hurgis Balthezan is evil aligned regardless of whether he is an impostor or the real one. According to what is said about him in dialogues, the real one probably should not be evil aligned. I checked his alignment via spell. I suppose there should thus be 2 versions of him spawning depending on situation or this becomes a 50/50 thing where you have to load and try again (and as a paladin, detect evil really should be the first choice here)

 

- [EDIT] Carsomyr's description reads that it can cast Dispel Magic unlimited times a day but is actually limited to 3 uses a day and only a weak er version of Dispel Magic that is target only instead of AoE.

 

Hoping for some comments

I think both of these are German language specific, which is problematic inasmuch as nearly everyone who's contributed to the fixpack has been working from an English language version - these are okay in an english dialog.tlk. Want to volunteer ?

Easy change to make, and I tend to agree, thougt it's not my call.

Selecting a weapon here counts as re-equipping which would reduce it back to 50.

 

This bit of weirdness is particular to items which set magic resistance to a specific value rather than incrementing it. Carsomyr is unfortunately both very popular and a magic-resistance setting item. It's not possible to change the preferential order in which the engine parses effects, and unless there's developer confirmation somewhere that this is okay to change, there's not much that can be done here

Hardcoded. Can't do anything, sorry

Fixpack doesn't make any changes to kensai kit abilites. Were you proficient with the weapon you tested with?

It should be protecting you from more of your own spells post-fixpack - I wrote that bit, and didn't include anything to prevent you from casting magic missile on yourself, or using the obscure wish/wildmagic/chain contingency exploits. If one of those spells cast by someone else got through, then there's a problem

Sure if you tell me how.

I did the test on a Kensai, 27th level with 28 multi-classed thief levels proficient 5 stars in Greatswords and 2 stars in Two-hand style using BG2Tweak pack grandmastery fixes.

Since that character is a Kensai, I unfortunately don't cast all that many spells. It was from other NPCs casting at me and those were not wild mages.

 

Oh, and I just thought of another one:

Lesser spell turning does not protect from Imprisonment? Kangaxx the demi lich cast that at my Kensai who used the ring of spellturning and it imprisoned her. Spelltrap worked just fine against that OTOH.

 

Thanks for checking on these for me. There's 2 more in the main topic atm

 

And what's with my quotes not working...

[Nythrun]

Sure if you tell me how.

Depends how editor conversant you are, and also what mods you have installed The correct string can always be looked up in Near Infinity or some such - the difficulty is making sure that it's a bug in the unmodded game

Post WeiDU log, please? It's awfully difficult to tell that weapon speed modifier is doing anything to begin with (you need multiple groups and sample sizes of roughly 1000, it's miserable to test).

That's bad. WeiDU.log, please.

Minor Spell Turning isn't supposed to block 9th level spells (which Kangaxx's Trap the Soul is considered to be). There's a bug in the wizard version that blocks up to seventh level spells, though.

 

There are two versions of Hurgis in the unmodded game, fake(Chaotic Evil) and real(Lawful Good).

 

Carsomyr sounds like another translation issue The dispel magic on hit is unlimited, and the castable dispel magic is thrice daily.

 

Thanks

I remember that at least the chromatic orb issue is even there in the base game, not sure about the minor drain though. I know how to use NearInfinity at the moment and am OK at editing baf files manually and the like. Fairly new to Infinity in general, really comfortable with Aurora.

 

About the Hurgis issue, I don't know why the real one in my game was evil aligned. Maybe there is an issue with the spawning script?

 

And for Carsomyr, would it be possible to make the 3 dispels also targetable on the floor instead of on a character only? I mean it does spread out AoE after initial impact.

 

And another one I just caught, but not sure if intended or not:

With the Fighter stronghold line of quests, the second one (Guard caught stealing) never awards experience if you apply death sentence to the guard - even if you listen to his entire story and pay for his wife's medications. I find that kind of odd since according to the Captain, even the old Lord applied the death sentence.

Why should any type of evil option be penalized in these dialogues at all and only the LG option giving full XP (pay + let serve).

I would have thought that the neutral option (pay + death) should be rewarded too as the NG option (pay+dismiss) even gives 11500 exp.

[Nythrun]

Hmm, I know Big Picture throws all kit abilities off by a level, but I don't think it should be able to cause them to go missing like that. You're only getting +10(+ weapon enchantment, + strength) to hit instead of +12?

[GhostNWN]

Err not quite sure what you mean by that. I'm not really familiar with 2nd edition rules.

But the char sheet reads that I have +7 damage and not +9 as I should be having...

 

My THAC0 base is -2 with modified THAC0 at -21 wielding Carsomyr if that helps... (using gauntlets of weapon skill, the ones -2 THAC0 and +1 damage)

[Nythrun]

Character sheet shouldn't be showing kensai bonus 19 strength, yes?

 

Base		 1	 1
Strength	-3	 -2
Gloves	  -2	 -4
Weapon	  -5	 -9
Kensai	  -9	 -18
Grandmaster -3	 -21

[GhostNWN]

Hmmm the first column being base and the second after modifications?

Yes for the -21 but as i said, i got only -2 base?

 

Are you sure though that the char sheet doesn't show Kensai bonus? I remember back at levels 1-9 i regularly checked that section and then it actually showed the correct bonus or maybe it was just my character having coincidental items?

 

Btw, I'm genuinely impressed that you correctly guessed I had 19 strength. For a moment I was wondering where you got my save from hah!

[Nythrun]

Fighter THAC0 bottoms out at 1 at level 20 and doesn't improve thereafter. 19 strength gives you at bonus of 3 to hit, so you should have -2 displayed on your character sheet while weaponless. 19 strength also gives you +7 to damage - which is what's being displayed on your character record.

 

No guesswork, just arithmetic. And witchcraft. Always with the witchcraft.

[devSin]

I wonder if she floats?

[Nythrun]

It's a fair cop.

[CamDawg]

- Pickpocketing (while invisible) Carston (Firkraag's mage) for the key and freeing Windspear's child may allow completion of this quest (42500 experience per party member). However, you can then go back to Firkraag, talk to him and he seems oblivious to the fact that the child is free. Thus, you can then get the quest from him to take the ownership notice off Windspear and return it to Firkraag who is supposed to kill the child in the meantime (which does not happen as its free) and get another 40500 experience per party member. This is probably not supposed to happen as only one of these options should be completable.

Easy change to make, and I tend to agree, thougt it's not my call.

I'm pretty sure the devs did not intend for the player to be able to finish the quest along both the good and evil paths. I suggest we move the key to an item slot where it can't be pickpocketed--why would Firkraag give him the key before he decides Carston will fight you anyway?

 

- Magic resistance stacks in a weird fashion. Cloak + rings stack fairly permanently but do not always stack with items such as weapons. I.e. having Ring of Gaxx and Carsomyr can grant either 50 or 60 magic resistance depending on whether you equip Gaxx first or last respectively. Selecting a weapon here counts as re-equipping which would reduce it back to 50.

 

This bit of weirdness is particular to items which set magic resistance to a specific value rather than incrementing it. Carsomyr is unfortunately both very popular and a magic-resistance setting item. It's not possible to change the preferential order in which the engine parses effects, and unless there's developer confirmation somewhere that this is okay to change, there's not much that can be done here

Devs have already confirmed that it is supposed to set MR at 50%, not add to it.

 

Hurgis's alignment is not modified by the Fixpack.

[GhostNWN]

Since they confirmed that it should set it to 50 instead of adding, would it be possible for you to code it that it won't go up higher if you equip other MR granting items afterwards?

 

As for Hurgis, I think its an issue with the game itself, not the fixpack. Reason I mentioned is is for fixpack to fix it

 

As for Kensai damage, I think Nythrun explained it nicely enough. I guess there is no issue there. But how about weapon speed? Usually, the correct weapon speed is shown when you right click your weapon while it is equipped. Then the weapon initiate is displayed which considers weapon style and proficiency as far as i know. Does that not include the Kensai bonus though? Because I think my Kensai wield Carsomyr at weapon initiative 5 and silversword at 10 for some off reason. I thought the max weapon initiative was 10 and with all those mods I simply don't understand how Silversword can still be 10 and Carsomyr 5 (should both be lower and Silversword a 2 difference only from Carsomyr?)

[CamDawg]

Since they confirmed that it should set it to 50 instead of adding, would it be possible for you to code it that it won't go up higher if you equip other MR granting items afterwards?

Can't be done without introducing worse bugs.

 

As for Hurgis, I think its an issue with the game itself, not the fixpack. Reason I mentioned is is for fixpack to fix it

Hurgis works fine in the patched game--hurgisr is LG and hurgisf is CE.
