Your reactions to SpellPack Options

[Galactygon]

Anything that stood out to you? How do some of the other mods bode with SpellPack?

In B4, I have included a cutscenized spell, Deathbolt. It is meant to be a controversial component to see how people react to something that doesn't necessarily fit within the bounds of BGII. So far, considering there are almost 1000 downloads from B4 since January, I haven't heard anything good or bad about Deathbolt.

Great to see you are still working on this great mod. I can't stop repeating how much it adds to the atmosphere of the game.
Maybe it's just me, but I think, apart from being kust a really good spell mod, it really improves the game through its graphics.
To me the game almost seems like an early BG3 would have looked like.

So having said this., I'd really love to see a "graphics and sounds only" component of this mod. I know I keep saying this over and over, but this just shows how much I want this thing =)!
Don't get me wrong, the spell alterations are awesome, but for a guy like me who likes playing BWP, there are still too many incompatibilities. Often I ended up with serious issues where spells, especially the ones from enemies, would crash my game. During really hard fights, when I was about to win, the enemy casted something and BAM, CTD!

I would really recommend you to make this component. Gamers, who like to play BG2 only would install the whole mod because it's less possible that the game crashes without all the dozen of other mods. Gamers who,like me, play BWP and want a stable game would install graphics and sounds only.
I don't want to miss your mod anymore, but if I install it, I'm sure to get CTDs in the most inconveniant moments.

I really hope you'll consider this!


Thanks for this great mod,

Marvin

Thanks for the comments.

The core component installs graphics/sound changes, installs some files used by some of my spells, and overrides Raise Dead and Resurrection. In B6 I will split and narrow the components down, so that only the parts you really need are installed.

I'm interested to hear what those spells cause CTDs. Are they systematic or are they random?
