-Full Install, Official Patch , NO CD,
-Mod : CF Weidu-Log
-Playing and Testing In TOB .



Preamble :

Always looking for new mods could customize my avatars in Baldurs Gate, I am delighted to share my impressions about this mod that seems very promising. biggrin.gif

Objectives:

Initially I'm looking to "pyrotechnics" spells and bare hand fighting types innates habilities (for some of my character, Eg: )




Also willing to create a Kensai Acid Kit (CF: Weimer), all spells belonging to the "sphere" of the "Acid", also interests me,

And those likely to improve the skills of the Fighters (Critical Hits etc ...) or Bards (Spells, Innate), too.

This is harmless, it has to do with me not optimizing the process of randomly adding scrolls to stores. The scrolls are added to the stores based on the spell level of the scroll and whatever scrolls there are in the store. Sometimes the scroll generator picks a store that does not have equivalent level scrolls. I will do a SILENT for now, and find out a more optimal way to do this (or beg Wisp to do it for me) for the later versions.

I'm not completely happy about Hypnotic Pattern either. Unfortunately, there wasn't any animation remotely similar in any other game I played, so I had to make do one in 'Fotoshop. If there is someone who can make something better-looking, I'm all for including it (and giving credit).

QUOTE(salomonkane @ Jan 3 2011, 07:55 PM) *

Some of the new spell .bams are not consistent with those ingame. This has to do with my lack of time to create .bams that fit with the rest of the BG(2) spells. I'm open to people submitting .bams for SpellPack, some of the icons were created by Kwiat_W.

I'm glad to hear this. Is there anything that worked really well or stood out to you?

In the future, I advise you to write which of those spells cause random crashes. I have encountered random crashes occasionally when summoning invisible creatures and hitting the pause button at the same time.

Yes, please. It really helps me in my work.

-Hypnotic Patterns :

QUOTE

I find this spell very well done biggrin.gif


-Animate dead :

I find the idea of invocations of "random monsters" very interesting
Unfortunately the game crashes if you try to rest in "their presence" ...

-Beast claw :

I really like the bam , but it should rather be for a female character (which is a subjective opinion),
I think the animation looks more like, to throws darts has lacerations ...

-Flame Blade :

Curiously when I invoke this spell, I get the Yoshimo's katana ...


-Most fire spells are amazing, but we'll talk later about it ...

About Speels Informations :



I confess myself not ever really interested/understand the game stats in BG (THACO, Bonus, Resistances ...),

Also,
Regarding the statistical aspects and role-play about the spells (School, Level, Range, Duration, etc) :

1)What are the criteria that can enable me to properly assess the consistency of spells based on their descriptions ?,

2)And what would be the best method of evaluation regarding the speels stats ?

I was unable to reproduce any of these (by only installing SpellPack's components). It sounds like a local issue. I doubt any of those mods are causing this, since those mods do not modify those files in question and SpellPack is installed after them on your install. Did you reboot your system after install? (On some systems, some installs it helps)

For Animate Dead, which creatures have caused the crash? Skeletons, Zombies, Giant Skeletons, or Skeleton Warriors?

Flame Blade: I suggest you send me the files SPPR206.spl, FBLADE.itm

Beast Claw: I sugeest you send me the file BEASTCLW.itm

That being said, the soonest I can get to a more detailed bughunt is late January/early February. I suggest you: reinstall BGII with Fixpack, Multikits, and SpellPack and see if those bugs still persist.

Compare those spells with some of the other more useful ones of the same type and level (ie. compare Alicorn Lance, a 2nd level priest spell to see how it fits in with the rest of the 2nd level priest spells, like Barkskin). This is what we roughly mean by balancing spells.

Another criteria I give myself when modifying/introducing new spells: are the changes I make entertaining enough to enhance the gameplay experience? I try to give the spells more flavour than they had in the original game.

Apparently it was a false alarm ... :


(Nice it feels like The Night of Living Dead , this Speel promises lots of good fights ! thumb.gif )

-Although I wonder what percentage chance to get Skeletons Warriors ?

I checked those files, they are completely identical to what I have on my install, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Try rebooting first, see if those same problems persist, and then once that doesn't work, reinstall (I can't help you on registries, sorry). They have to be reproducible in order for them to be registered as bugs. There could be other issues that might be causing this (maybe your BGMain.exe is faulty, or one of your CDs are scratched). In those cases, other mods should be causing issues as well.

Sorry, I cannot help you beyond this.

QUOTE(From the description of Wizard Animate Dead)
The caster may create one HD worth of skeletons (1 HD), zombies (2 HD), giant skeletons (4 HD), or skeleton warriors (8 HD) per level, with fractions rounded down. The type of undead is determined randomly.


The priestly version does not animate giant skeletons or skeleton warriors. Both versions have a permanent duration rather than 8 hours.

So, I reinstall my installation:
-I have zapped Multikit (too many bugs)

Small precision
I forgot to say, which may be important :

1)-In Install 1, I forced the installation of "innates "spells using Shadow Keeper, to have the broadest possible range of spells to test ...
2)-Maybe this would explain some conflicts ...

3)-Otherwise, in view of the Test :
(i play Cleric/Mage)
-How to get a maximum of speels in addition to those awarded at the beginning of the game,
without risking conflicts with some files ?

Information about the spells is stored in the file Override/LCLIST_SPELLS.2da (open using any text editor). Each row denotes a spell, the second column says what the spell is called, the third column is the filename of the spell, and the fourth column is the filename of the scroll (if the spell is a wizard spell).

On my install, the wizard version of Reincarnation looks like this:
CODE
2610  WIZARD_REINCARNATION  SPWI610.spl   LCSCRW6M.itm


If I wanted to teach my character Reincarnation, with the cursor over the character portrait, I would use CLUAConsole:AddSpell("SPWI610"). To create the scroll, I would use CLUAConsole:CreateItem("LCSCRW6M")

Good luck testing!

You will have to activate CLUAConsole first. Instructions on how to do that

If you want to learn flame blade (SPPR206), you will have to move your cursor over the character, and press ctrl and space together. A text window appears at the very bottom of the game screen. Type in (for Flame Blade) CLUAConsole:AddSpell("SPPR206")

What you are doing, playtesting analysing spells one-by-one is really useful for me, Thank you very much, I can only encourage you to continue, I really like the way you set up the criteria and everything.

Hello,

Just to say that I do not forget this review .

Actually, I try to find a comprehensive and effective method to conduct a comprehensive feedback on all spells ...

[Edit] I have no problems with Clua for the mage spells (I edit a scroll), it's priests spells that I can not assign ...

PS:
I invite all those wishing to make a return on this mod to use the valuation method above and why not complete my appreciation ...

NB :
@ BWL Administration ,
I would it be possible ( with one way or another), to have access again to this link, thank you very much ... :

I suppose your problem is that you don't have access to it, because you aren't a Privileged Visitor of BWL. I copied the contents for you. The posts that start from the position of your link are as follows:


Tervadh's post:

I think there's a better way to do this than inflating baldur.bcs which is already bloated enough on most installs due to extraneous talking weapons, etc. I'm just hypothesizing here, since I haven't really tested any of this, but you could, for example, give the weapon an ability to cast a custom spell (at caster's level rather than at a specified level). In turn, that spell would have "required level" headers which would get more powerful as level increased. And so at a certain level, the wielder could invoke the spell which could add a new ability to the sword (or, more likely, replace it with a more powerful version). Like I said, untested, but I think you could do it with opcodes #112 (remove specific item) and #143 (create item in slot).


igi's post:

I covered this in a tutorial around 5 years ago (if not more).

The tutorial doesn't seem to be online anywhere (I'll upload it to TBG when I get my PC set up - I have a copy of it locally), but the concept item is still available: http://www.teambg.eu/memberpages/igi/mods/.../iiarmt(00).zip - it's armor that automatically changes colour based on the level of whoever has it equipped, with no scripting. The concept can easily be extended to something more useful than demonstrative.


pasco95's post:

Thanks igi, I haven't implemented this in the game but I had a look at your files and it looks like this is the sort of thing i'm looking for. Are you able to email me the tute?
Small side track, does anyone know of an extended Paladin stronghold mod out there? I can't help but feel a bit ripped off everytime I play the game and do the paladin stronghold, it's too short, too easy and the reward at the end is too powerful that early in the game IMO, that's why I want to implement something like this in the game or even do an extended Paladin stronghold mod myself but i've a notoriuosly short attention span and rarely get any of my ideas past that, an idea!
Thanks for your help guys, I do like Sikret's idea of summoning a divine being to grant extra powers to the sword when you hit certain conditions, a certain level or fulfilling certain aspects of a quest, makes you have to prove you are worthy of wielding it.

You decide for yourself, which format you are most comfortable. I'm fine with your current format.

You have to move your cursor over the character and then type in CLUAConsole:AddSpell("spellfilenamewithoutfileextension")

In fact I talk about the implementation/protocol of the test and not the valuation method (done) .

Yes, I am considering, (compared to the number of speels to be tested: more than a hundred), using the method of :

The Infinite Speel ... By "Deratiseur" :

"The Speel that can launch all other indefinitely and quickly" :

With DLTCEP,

"Create a spell with casting time 0, target "self" and the following effects:
188, cleasing aura (chaining), duration :"permanent after death"
189, casting time modifier (reduction of cast time), value 10, duration :"permanent after death"
261, spell, restore lost spell (recovery of forgotten speel), lvl 9, type 1
Copy of 261
add-paste from 261
add-paste from 261
add-paste from 261
add-paste from 261
add-paste from 261
add-paste from 261

So you have a spell, which when run, will have two effects:
1: Gives you chaining and reduction of cast time of all spells you start at 0 for infinite duration.
2: It restores as spells that you did copy and paste the effect 261.

Once this spell started , you can cast in one minute all the spells from your folder/directory. Ideal for testing, as I've done a hundred spells ^ ^

Add this spell to test at your testing character with Shadowkeeper or console.

For an even better test, save or export the character (he keeps the effects because they are "permanent after death), and give it by Shadowkeeper a total of 12 memorized spells per level. ^ ^ "

[...]

Also, I intend to use this method, what do you think about ?
