Bugs, any of them goes here... Options

[leandrobrito]

Thanks for the replys.
I did a full install, and I have some mods installed, all weidu mods.
I'll try to reinstall, and will be back to let you know if it worked.
Thanks again.

Didn't work. Reinstalled it, but the game crashes the same way.
And I hate to miss a part of the history.
Using that script to skip the movie, will I miss too much?

I just remembered:
I'm using multi install tool, to keep a clean install of BGII (to multiplay) and a modded install (the 'clone' one) to singleplay. Could this be the problem?

Depends on how MIT does exactly transfer the baldur.ini. Can you post your cloned baldur.ini (wrap it in [ codebox ] tags to avoid overflowing)?
IIRC, the movie just shows a bird's eye view of the tower (but I might be wrong).

Here it is: (Had to add .txt, because it didn't accept the .ini file)

CODE

 baldur.ini.txt ( 3.04k ) Number of downloads: 5

(Hope this is what you meant by [ codebox ])

[The Bigg]

Oh, codebox was if you were going to copy-paste the contents, but NVM that.

Anyway, Install Type is set to 3 like in my baldur.ini (that is, it's still reported as "full install"), and I could play normally on a manually cloned installation. Just to try a couple extra things, is D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\ your cloned install or your 'original' one?

[leandrobrito]

D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\ is the original one, without any mods.

D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA Clone\ is the one modded, witch I'm playing.
This baldur.ini is the one from D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA Clone\

[The Bigg]

Oh. In that case, try changing this line (of baldur.ini):

CODE

HD0:=D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\

into this:

CODE

HD0:=D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA Clone\;D:\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\

and see if it works.

[leandrobrito]

Do you have the original va#04sc.bcs?

I just overrode it and forgot to backup.

[Razfallow]

Here, don't forget to rename it.

Now the game doesn't work. As soon as the game starts, it crashes.

It looks like I won't see this movie after all....

[Jab]

Btw from the last version of UB:

Revert Crooked Crane script to its old illogical name, for compatibility-friendliness.

[Valiant]

...finally, at last...

[prune1]

Oh yea, about that reverting of the crooked crane in ub v18...does that cause issues in terms of do YOU guys now have to revert whatever fix you did in order for ToD to work with this old version of crooked crane again? Or is everything good and we can go ahead and install and play as normal?

[Razfallow]

There's no need to make modification, ToD will work fine.

[jman]

ToD problem after completing the tower adventure is occurring in Suldanessalar just southwest of Demin's house, is the "house of the talisman". In its first floor an imp sweeps you to cave area and are forced to fight Ustrain...(spoiler based question) ... this appears to be an impossible fight to win...his immunities even after illusions,e tc are worn off seemt o be excess...ie: immunity to all milles/ thrownn weapons...best possible melee damage typically 2 HP?...am I missing somehtign?...Icant get by this guy...help? is this a bug

[Razfallow]

It isn't a bug, that's how Sikret created it. Ustrain has high resistance to all physical attacks and is using Hardiness (and he has many of them).

You can always uninstall it, you know, it's optional and you don't get anything special for defeating him (except XP and few gems).

[Sikret]

SPOILER!

Depends on whether you are playing it with or without IA.

Without IA, Ustrain has only 50% resistance to magic damage, uses a vanilla game script, and has weak allies. He can be killed easily by spells which inflict magic damage (ADHW, Vampiric Touch, Skull Trap, Harm, etc) provided that the spell successfully passes his magic resistance (which is not that high either).

With IA installed, he will prove to be a worthy opponent indeed, but it's obvious (from his post and the context) that jman isn't playing it together with IA, so it mustn't be that hard.

Some players are a bit too hasty to mark something as a "bug" when they fail to find the right way to do it in the game.

[Daulmakan]

I understand what he's saying. I was surprised by it too, the first time I fought him. You're expecting a powerful mage, not a physical powerhouse, and yet none of your fighters can deal any serious damage. At this particular point in the game, no other creature displays such a trait, so it does seems odd (specially if it's your first time). In the end, if you don't have good spells available, it turns into a boring fight, where you're in control of the battle but take a long while to finally kill him. The fact that he had no decent loot irked me as well.

[Sikret]

He is a powerful fighrer/mage, but if you play without IA you won't see much of a mage in him, because he won't be using the IA script (that's why Valiant has strongly recommended to play this component of ToD together with IA).

As for the loot, it seems that Valiant didn't decide to add any particular treasure to him. We can discuss to add some reasonable treasure for the next version if Valiant wants to. The discussion is needed because some particular treasures may be problematic for players who play ToD together with IA (for example, some items may have been replaced with other new items in IA; some items may have specific and fixed locations in IA and should not be found anywhere else, etc).

[Valiant]

Well, maybe the discussion is needed, but the way I see it Ustrain can´t have a decent loot with himself. Remmember, he´s been sent to exile and currently lives in "emptyness". I can´t hardly imagine where he would get the loot you guys want him to drop after his death. He lost everything, and most of his treasures are in the tower. Even during his proper mortal life he wasn´t that rich.

This fight is about getting his loot back, not to drop (or loose) something again...

[drawnacrol]

Hey, I installed TOD but because of the improved crooked crane Tian isn't appearing, whats his cluaconsole name to make him appear???
