Hello,

I have started to install this mod today. I'll post all feedbacks here.

Installation were painfull : spells are installed one by one so it takes a long time to install everything. I would have hoped to have a question like "Would you like to install everything ?" smile.gif
I spent about 30mn doing i, enter, wait, i, enter, wait...

Edit: I've just discovered --yes option in weidu, so it can be installed easily smile.gif

At least, I got no errors.
For information, here is my weidu log after install:

On a general note, and it has already be said, I don't like spell icons. Not that they are bad, but they are very different from vanilla spells.
But well, not everybody are able to make icons and personally, I don't smile.gif

Chill Touch : casting time of 1 and duration are good, perfect to use it on emergency when attacked in melee. Special effect vs undead is very nice ! I love this one smile.gif. 2 bad things:
- no magical weapon so can't see if it is still active.
- no bonus to hit like ghoul touch (+3). It means that mage will have some troubles to hit something with their very bad thac0. I think touch spell should always have thac0 bonus because in P&P, they ignore armor. Maybe +3 or +4 bonus as in Spell Revisions would be good?

Armor: 1 week duration is very nice. It allows player to cast it and memorize another spell. For script, it would be considered as a long duration precast spells : every mage that could access to conjuration would have it. Then, it can be seen as a free buff spell. Good at low levels, but then, it become useless.

Burning Hands: this one is closed to SR. It has a really small aoe. In my test, my mage is surrounded by many gibberlings. At best, he can killed 3 with burning hands. Clearly, it won't save him and to me, better cast something like Color Spray. In a script, it is quite difficult to use it efficiently as a small move can result into a miss.

Color Spray: closed to SR too, this is clearly a very powerful spell now, one of the best level 1 spell.

Larloch's Minor Drain: a bit more drain than vanilla, but not that much. 5-9 life drain at best when he could use a magic missile doing 10-25 damage, pretty weak. And it's not like that drain would save him! At least, SR is quite good with a constant 10 drain at level 9-10. This one can be twice as bad with low rolls.

Sleep: it is a very powerful spell when it works, so for 1-5 hd enemies. It can have its use in bg1 until mid game and can be removed after that because it will never be used again.

Spook: I have never been a fan of this spell and it hasn't changed. Fear one enemy is rather weak, and fear is the most easier effect to counter or be immune.

Agannazar's Scorcher: I like new pause. It was stupid to be able to move and hit every creature in a moving line. Good change!

Mordekainen's Sword: I really like this one : very nice animation, efficient, can be used at range, probably good to script cast & attack.

Detect Invisibility: it is good to have some minor true sight spell. Invisibility will loose a part of its godly status smile.gif

Fog Cloud: this spell slows my game to about 1 fps, so I couldn't really test it sad.gif

Hypnotic Pattern: same as Fog Cloud

Gedlee's Electric Loop: nice spell in close range, a must when surrounded by creatures.

I was thinking I might have a problem with all these slow down : most area of effect spells are totally shut down my computer.
I uninstalled Inifinite Animations, generalized biffing... and still, unplayable !
I tried to desactivate 3D animations but nothing worked.

I uninstalled SpellPack and cast web again : worked like charm smile.gif
So... it is really annoying. Even in the first cutscene with Gorion doesn't run smoothly with SpellPack with perfectly without !

Clearly, it doesn't motivate me to continue.
I really like these new spells, but there are still old spells that are really bad. Even if something is planned for them later on, I'm currently modding and can't delay my work so long.
Then, I prefer to choose a spell mod that is almost in a final state, covering all spells.

Ideally, a mix for SpellPack and Spell Revisions would have been great !
I might resume my review later on if I have time.

This might be another reason for releasing the Spellpack and the Tweakpack separately. A pity that you had so many performance problems. I assume your PC is not that powerful? Because with a 5 year old Notebook I was able to play smoothlly with spellpack installed.

My PC is an high end 2011 config that is able to run BattleField 3 on ultra settings.
Eventually, this is an issue with another mod, I don't know.

Installation were painfull : spells are installed one by one so it takes a long time to install everything. I would have hoped to have a question like "Would you like to install everything ?" smile.gif
I spent about 30mn doing i, enter, wait, i, enter, wait...

I am aware of this issue, there will be a workaround in the next release. The concept at the moment is to split each component into two parts: a "shadow component" or "setup component", which the user navigates through, and the real components which automatically kick in when the user finishes the setup.

Someone has volunteered to do the icons in BGII style, and I have them on my local install. They look extremely good but you will have to wait until the next public release.

This is intentional. I have the spell set a melee effect rather than create a magical weapon, and can therefore be used along with other touch spells (vampiric touch, cause wounds, etc.). I feel this enhances the potential of touch spells in general.

As of right now, the spell does not give a THAC0 bonus, which is an inconsistency from my part (I've set the other touch spells to give a +4 bonus). On the other hand, the spell can be transmitted through a weapon causing damage (not the case in PnP), so it makes sense not to enhance the THAC0.

At the moment I don't have a stance on whether I should:
a.) have touch spells apply their effects through a magically created weapon (as vanilla)
b.) have touch spells apply their effects through the melee weapon of the caster with no THAC0 bonus
c.) same as b but with a +4 THAC0 bonus

a.) is the most realistic, but there are disadvantages: the caster may not renew the spell due to an engine bug (hint: ToBEX), multiple touch spells may not be used alongside one another, and touch spells may not be used alongside other magically created weapons (such as Flame Blade).
b.) the only disadvantage here is that you have to be able to hit the creature with your weapon to cause damage.

This spell is useful not because of it's damage potential, but because wizards acquire a low-level spell they can use to heal themselves to greater effect than cure light wounds.

I haven't experienced the slowdowns you are describing, despite that I have brightening enabled with an average processor and haven't biffed my override. I put a great deal of emphasis on performance to the degree that SpellPack automatically installs different files based on your graphics settings.

Assuming you are absolutely sure SpellPack is the cause for the slowdown, it's unlikely all of the components are at fault. It would help if you can narrow down your find by checking with groups of components installed and then narrowing down your further to single components. At would be easier for me to replicate this with the same mods if you can be more specific about this.

Something I have learned as a modder is that in general it is better to break a large mod down into many smaller releases rather than a single large one. If you look around the communities you will see that in general small mods are more successful in guaranteeing high quality gameplay with fewer bugs than the megamods. They are more manageable and efficient to work with. Many ambitious projects that I would have liked to see released (DLTC, ToIW, RtW, etc) have bit the dust because their size and ambition is too much for the authors to cope with when they have their own lives to occupy them.

For years I was kept back by trying make a too ambitious mod, and have been paralyzed with a long to-do list. Now I can achieve much more in less effort by making smaller releases instead. Sure, SpellPack is not a complete mod, I still have many more spells to cover. But I feel it's far better to release something tangible than none at all.

Well, I'm not sure it is a good thing to be able to cumulate chill touch with other touch spells. It might be too much, and I don't like the idea of beeing able to transmite chill touch to a weapon either.
It would make magical weapons / touch too powerful.

I think Ghoul Touch only gives +3 thac0

I can't agree with you on this. At low levels, mage are really weak and can die easily. Larloch minor drain won't save them, 1-6 drain might give them at best one more round alive.
At high levels, when this spell reach its max potential, it might be better than cure ligh wounds, it is still useless. From level 8-9, you rarely use level 1 spell to heal.

Take one example: 2 level 10 wizard fight each other without any protection. Would you mix larloch minor drain and magic missile or only magic missile?
Clearly, magic missile alone win the fight. One larloch cast may be useless to boost max hp in the start, but this is all.

I have posted my weidu install, I'll try to install only easytutu and these problematic spells when I got time.
Not before several weeks because I have to work on my mod but I will do it one day.
One thing is sure : despite all mods installed, only SpellPack gave me these big slowdowns.

You are absolutly right about this and my own project went too ambitious, this is why I have left for a few years (aside from real life issues).

The original spell seemed a bit underpowered to me, which is why I opted to set a melee effect rather than create a new weapon.

I will have to think about this some more; I would like to hear some more feedback on this:

Should touch spells transmit their effects through weapons or should they create new magical weapons as per vanilla? Should there be a difference between one-time touch spells and multiple-use touch spells in creating weapons/transmitting effects?

What you are describing is one situation where magic missile would win. You can say the same thing to all other 1st level spells. What makes the spells in SpellPack interesting IMO is their use in several different situations.

When I think of balancing spells, I think of the potentially many different situations you might find yourself in. The reason why many AD&D spells are unbalanced in BGII (such domination like you mentioned) is that BGII removes much of the (role-playing) scenarios that are present in AD&D. Imagine how useful Charm Person/Domination can be if not every second boss would be protected from mind control and you can charm shopkeepers to give you a discount for their wares.

It's the same story why the illusion school is so powerful in AD&D compared to BGII: there are so many ways to role-play those spells.

Unfortunately, I am extremely short on time. The soonest I can get to chasing bugs is around late June / early July.
