SpellPack Beta V3 is out! Options

[Galactygon]

2 days late, SpellBack beta version 3 is up on the web at

http://dragonshoard.blackwyrmlair.net/down...SpellPackB3.zip (39.9 MB) Now 19.9 MB

There are some significant changes I have made since the last version. Since I forgot to upload the readme seperately, and I have limited access to the FTP Program these days, I will summarize the changes I have made from B2 to B3 (from my memory; there might be more):

Changes/Bugfixes
-Prayer now affects the caster
-Prayer is not cumulative with itself anymore
New Features
-Ranged Spiritual Hammer (as in IWD1/2)
-BG1 Fireball animation
-Everything I wanted to include in the LC Pre-Release planned last year (partially revamping the spell graphics)
-Some new Wizard spells! Modified PnP versions of Power Word Kill and Death Spell.
-Some new Priest spells! I forgot which, but I remember including recitation, and some fixed TDD spells (if you don't have TDD installed, it introduces new spells).

You can safely install beta version 3 on top of any previous versions. I might reccomend reinstalling Cleric Remix and Refinements after you installed beta version 3, or simply install beta v3 before either of those mods.

You can still see the features of beta version 2 in a previous post of mine, but you cannot download any of the previous versions.

You can still read the fully updated readme when you download the mod.

Ok,
I just finished doing everything by the book (install, reboot, (test and run game), uninstall, reboot again, (test and run game)

and the uninstall bugs are still there.

I am not far into the game so I don't have many mage spells, and only level 6 druid spells and L5 priest, but here is what I saw:
Here's a complete rundown (on my system with my average level characters),

Both spell effect bugs I noticed, and the uninstall problem:

After uninstalling and rebooting:

1) Elysium's Tears graphic is still on the level 3 page, the spell still works (still does damage, with the earthquake effect), but there is no name and no descrption for the spell.

2) Entropy shield has the new graphic icon you made, but the old descrption.
3) Flamestrike is missing both name and description, but the spell seems to work.
4) Storm Shell- new icon, original descriptoin.
5) Sun Scorch-just like #4

Rebooting doesn't help. (i already rebooted right after the first uninstall, immediately).
Had to recopy the original (backed up manually) override folder back over, after deleting the new one, to get everything back.

As far as the new *spell* bugs:

1) Prayer-- monsters get a magic resistance roll against it; if they make their roll, it says "Monster: Magic Resistance"
It's supposed to ignore all enemy magic resistance.

2) Monsters *ALSO* get a magic resistance roll against the chant, too.
(if they make their MR, "reverse" chant has no effect on them.--it does NOT say "magic resistance"--it just doesn't say anything. (instead of , say, Greater Wolfwere (chant: Reversed).

It still gives the affected party members the +1 to hit. (but no saving throw bonus).


I am using The Big Picture. (1.61G).

Thanks,
-Ike
