Per its description, Invisibility 10' Radius is supposed to last for 24 hours (unless broken earlier) but was only lasting for one hour. This also fixes a small bug where the sound effects were only playing on the caster instead of all the creatures affected.
// incorrect duration, targeting for invis 10'
COPY_EXISTING ~spwi307.spl~ ~override~
READ_LONG 0x64 "abil_off"
READ_SHORT 0x68 "abil_num"
READ_LONG 0x6a "fx_off"
FOR (index = 0 ; index < abil_num ; index = index + 1 ) BEGIN // cycle thru abilities
READ_SHORT ("%abil_off%" + 0x1e + (0x28 * "%index%")) "abil_fx_num"
READ_SHORT ("%abil_off%" + 0x20 + (0x28 * "%index%")) "abil_fx_idx"
FOR (index2 = 0 ; index2 < abil_fx_num ; index2 = index2 + 1) BEGIN
READ_SHORT ("%fx_off%" + (0x30 * ("%index2%" + "%abil_fx_idx%"))) "opcode"
READ_LONG ("%fx_off%" + 0x0e + (0x30 * ("%index2%" + "%abil_fx_idx%"))) "duration"
PATCH_IF ("%duration%" = 300) BEGIN
WRITE_LONG ("%fx_off%" + 0x0e + (0x30 * ("%index2%" + "%abil_fx_idx%"))) 7200
END
PATCH_IF ("%opcode%" = 174) BEGIN
WRITE_BYTE ("%fx_off%" + 0x02 + (0x30 * ("%index2%" + "%abil_fx_idx%"))) 2 // target: preset target
END
END
END

    Confirmed fixed... ?

    Duration of the Invisibility and related Play sound effects (Effects #2, #4) now set to 7200... which is 2hrs? Perhaps 2hrs real time = 24hrs game time? Or does this use the duration as rounds- i.e., 6sec/rnd X 7200 rnds = 12 hrs.

    The old duration was 300, so at least 7200 is 24 X an hour-long duration.

    The Target for Effect #4 also now set to target "Preset target" rather than "Self."

    I'm also presuming that Effect #4's Timing mode being set (as in vBG2) to Delay/Permanent - 4 is correct, though it looks wrong...

    7200 is supposed to be one in-game day, see GTIMES.IDS
    1 in-game hour is 300 (see the armor spell with 9 hours)
    1 turn is 60 (10 rounds)
    1 round is 6 (see spook with 3 rounds)

    This may be appropriate: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100722105309AAjuCPL

    One more thing with this spell I noticed is that its 'Secondary Type' should be labeled as Illusionary Protections and not Non-Combat as it is now. All the other similar types of spells are such.
