Alhoon the mindflayer uses the Ogre soundset!

It's an original game's issue (not an IA bug). I will fix it though. Thanks.

I guess I should create a thread for bugs of the original game as distinct from bugs of IA's content.

EDIT: Just created the new thread.

I acquired the poison head for the flail in WK. I decided to make my way back to De'Arnise to upgrade(protagonist is not a fighter), however, I noticed I couldn't gain access. There was no area transition cursor for the secret side entrance. Additionally, the drawbridge was raised! My plans to upgrade prior to ToB were foiled!

It's not a bug. I never said that I will ensure your access to the forge in D'Arnise keep under every condition. The forge is capabale of forging the +4 flail if you have access to it.

Hi

Just 2 things about the Dracolich battle. The first one's a tiny thing, Dracolich says something about humans making it so far and then says "How impressing!" I thought it should be "How impressive!" heh

Anyway the other thing was during the battle, valygar got level drained (dropped to lvl 7 from 23) and I'm not sure what I did, (Don't think I did anything), just kept pounding on dl and suddenly valygar's level drain goes off...so he's back to lvl 23. Then his level drops to 15/23 and I get a message that he's levelled up.

However, in clicking on the level up button, his HP jumped by about 20 or so (8 levels), gained 6 special abilities etc. So in effect in that one battle, he gained 8 levels that he already had, even though nothing actually happened to allow him to level. anything wrong with that? I don't think I can reproduce anything that happened in the battle though, was tough trying to bring him down as it was ;o)

Just wanted to bring that out!

Hi

I had Cromwell forge the boots of improved haste, which raised my attacks per round to 9. However when I cast haste on the whole party, my ApR falls to 5. Is this just displaying the number of ApR wrongly or is the haste spell "overruling" the boots of improved haste?

By the way, just taken over the planar sphere - great mod so far, an excellent challenge.

I'll check and fix the typo. Thanks!


No, everything is normal. No bugs.

The breath's level drain has a duration which will expire. But you have killed Dracolich and have gained the XP before the duration expires. That's what has happended in your game.

Can't seem to forge this one. I have all the necessary ingredients and 20467 gold.

Are these Amulets of Protection +1?

Edit: After accumulating 70k, I was able to forge the amulet.

Yes, they are +1 amulets. It's a bug. Just fixed. Thanks for the report. (But even now, you can forge the if you also have a Permanency Scroll with yourself. I assume you don't have one. Cromwell doesn't ask for it but looks for it before forging the item. If you have one of those scrolls, he will forge the amulet for you and will not even consume your scroll. This was a bug because he should not look for the scroll at all. It's fixed for v4.3).

Using a Permanency Scroll on the combination of two pairs of Boots of Speed and two Scrolls of Improved Haste, these boots grant permanent Improved Haste to their wielder.

I believe you 'wear' rather then 'wield' boots

Hi all!

Sikret : Many thanks again for the great mod. Real tough, some of the battles...I've reloaded so many times I think there ought to be a reload quick key

But anyway, just a teeny thing at Cromwell's. When forging the improved helmet of charm prot he says "..I can improved you helmet..." Thought that should have been "I can improve your helmet..."

PS Any chance of resisting command/greater command as well?

Thanks!!!

Options - game play - assign keys. Then choose 'quick load' from miscellaneous and assign to key you want

Hi there,

Just posting here because I don't think this merits a new thread.

No custom kits including the Vagrant kit are working, I can select them in the create character screen but when I get to selecting the alignment they are all greyed out and I can't select any. I have done your recommended installation. The Fixpack, the 5 Ease of Use mods, Other Compatible Mods and then Improved Anvil. The other Mods I installed are Sheena NPC and Expanded Spell Progression for Rangers and Paladins.

I uninstalled IA and then Sheena and Expanded Spell Progression and even the Ease of Use Mods. Then I installed the Knight kit from PoF Kits and tried to using that and I had the same problem. Before I have never installed the BG2ThroneOfBhallFixPack112 and custom kits like the Knight kit worked fine. Just wondering if the fixpack is doing this because I love rangers and want to play the Vagrant.

Thanks,
Dean

Welcome to BWL, Janduin!

I suggest installing the whole game afresh, then the official patch and the Baldurdash. Then Ease-of-Use and IA (no other mods for now because you are testing). I'm pretty sure that your problem with Vagrant kit will be sloved. Once you verify this, uninstall IA, install your other mods (but don't install the expanded spell progression for rangers and paladins) and then test it again. Let me know the result.

Thanks for the welcome and quick response.

I'm still having the same problem . I reinstalled SoA and ToB, then installed the Official Patch, Baldurdash fixpack(non-weidu), 5 Ease of Use Mods and Improved Anvil (nothing else, they are the only mods installed). I started up BG2 and went to create my character, selected Vagrant and now i'm on the Alignment screen and the nine alignments are all greyed out. I cannot select one so I can't click on done :S.

Thanks for your help, if it is possible to fix that would be great but if not thanks for replying to my message.

BTW - All of the original BG2 kits work just fine.

Thanks,
Dean

A few questions:

1- Are you perchance using a Mac system?
2- What are those 5 Ease-of-Use components you installed? Uninstall them and see if it helps.
3- Try downloading the mod afresh from the download center and unzip it again (in case you might have a bad download the first time.)

If all these fail, play the mod with a different PC. IA v4.3 will be released soon and players who are in the middle of playing a vagrant ranger will need to start a new game anyway (other won't need to do so), because the kit is revised in v4.3

The Five Ease of Use Mods are the ones you recommended.
- True Grand Mastery
- Wear Magical Armor AND Magic Rings
- Un-Nerfed THAC0 Tables, Saving Throws etc.
- XP Cap Remover
- Bonus Merchants

But I think I found the problem, it's the fixpack. I reinstalled SoA and ToB again, installed the ToB Official Patch but not the Baldurdash Fixpack. Then I installed the Knight Kit and it worked. On character creation I could select my alignment as is normal.

Right now I'm thinking of deleting the Knight kit, installing Ease of Use Mods and then Improved Anvil. But will it work fine without the Baldurdash Fixpack? Or is there another alternative to the 112 non-weidu version?

Edit: Sorry I forgot your other questions.
1. No, i'm using Windows Vista, my PC is HP brand .
2. Answer above
3. I can't download it again, my DL limit is almost up! Have to wait a few days.

No, it won't work as intended without the fixpack. But Baldurdash TOB Fixpack doesn't normally cause any such problem. There is something wrong in your game. Do you completely delete the content of your main BG2 folder before installing the game? You need to do so, because it is possible that some corrupted file is there in that folder which remains even after every clean installation.

Yes I always delete the files remaining manuelly after uninstalling. One time my PC wouldnt read disc2 because of the remaining "compatibility files" which include the baldur.ini. So I learnt to delete everything on a re-install. When I found a notepad file that said something like ToBFixpack in there I knew there must be a problem with it.

Yeah, I realise this is a very weird situation, so thanks for replying yet again. Thanks for making this mod also, I have been looking forward to playing it for a while only to find out I can't use the Vagrant class. Perhaps I will just use a Stalker.

Also, just before I installed Improved Anvil without the Fixpack and the Vagrant class works fine, I had no trouble on the Alignment screen. Just waiting to see if you think IA won't work properly before I actually play it.

This is the Fixpack I downloaded FixPack v1.12 (2001 - Sept. - 27) from http://www.baldurdash.org/ToB/Fixes/TOBfixes.html . Am wondering if another fixpack will work with your mod?

Thanks,
Dean

Hi 2 tiny things

1. Making the improved dragon helm. Item description is "saving thorws" rather than throws.

2. Boots of Agility. AC +7 bonuc as opposed to bonus. Tks!
