Bug Reports, Split from Mod/Web Updates Options

Ok, we'll wait it!! BTW I have a question, the last realease was Spell pack V3, no? Correct me if I'm mistaken. In that package there aren't many wizard spells, no? I installed it and I'm having problems, not compatibility but graphic problems. When I cast a spell, i. e Stinking Cloud I see the new graphics for this spell, but all the clouds are sorrounded by a square. I also saw this casting Elysium tears and dispel magic some time ago and I can't remember if it was playing in my girlfriend's computer (a bit old and it could be a problem of the pc's resources) or in mine's (old for the modern computers but more new and powerful than my girlfriend's) May it be a problem of the computers, of other mods installed or...? Please answer Great Galactygon.

Thank your for answering! So it's as I supposed. My girlfriend's Pc is too old (eight years without updating anything). So I'll wait for V4. Will we have to wait too long for it? (I mean months, weeks, days, hours... ) I'm willing to cast all the great spells I've seen on the screenshots page! And to use the new GUI. As I said, they are great.
BTW let me tell you that it's amazing how you work and what kind of things you know how to do with a Pc. You're a genius. I'm 25 years old and I know nothing of Pcs.

Great work on the Spell Pack, Galactygon! I've recently tried it and I'm absolutely loving the IWD-style Spiritual Hammer and Static Charge. However, I noticed a few minor issues with some of the spells:

• Spiritual Hammer allows the caster's strength bonus to apply to the damage it deals, while it shouldn't per PnP rules and per the IWD1 implementation. Note: this bug is also present in the unmodded BG2.
• Sunscorch doesn't properly display the "Blinded" string. It appears to be using an invalid strref.
• Beast Claw actually grants the caster 18/75 Strength while it should only be 18/72 per the spell's description and per PnP rules.
• Thorn Spray crashed the game a few times (not sure what caused this).

BTW, I'm looking forward to the entire PnP conversion once it gets done, keep up the good work!.

Spiritual Hammer allows the caster's strength bonus to apply to the damage it deals, while it shouldn't per PnP rules and per the IWD1 implementation. Note: this bug is also present in the unmodded BG2.

I fixed that in my install of Lost Crossroads a while ago, but didn't include that in the SpellPack release. Will include it for the next release.

Sunscorch doesn't properly display the "Blinded" string. It appears to be using an invalid strref.

Will fix.

Beast Claw actually grants the caster 18/75 Strength while it should only be 18/72 per the spell's description and per PnP rules.

Will fix.

Thorn Spray crashed the game a few times (not sure what caused this).

I have encountered this whenever I summon invisible and invulnerable creatures. It (still is) a major source of bugs in my current install of Lost Crossroads. And it doesn't always happen, so I could easily catch the source of this bug, but it happens often enough to annoy the crap out of anyone playing the game.

In this case, thorn spray summons some number of invis/invulnerable creatures and shoots thorns at them to mimick an explosion.

As for why that exactly occours, I have no idea. My (wild) guess might be an override folder with thousands of files causing this.

On a more positive note, I have rearranged the fireball.ids in a more logical manner, and so Thorn Spray uses a seperate entry in my latest install of Lost Crossroads. There are some flaws in this implementation, but it isn't as messy as using invis/invulnerable creatures.
