    Confirmed Not Fixed... [EDIT]

    I Just checked the inventory of all the above using Near Infinity, and I didn't find any item that was nonexistent as far as I could tell. All items in the "Items 0+" section had recognizable, CLUA-spawnable designations. But then I'm not sure how else to verify it since I don't know which items were misspelled in the first place...

    FLAMSCO, FLAMWIZ, CULTASS, and AMARAN have a few items (MAGEBRAC, MAGE04, MAGE01, MAGE02, MAGE05) which are not droppable once CLUA'd into inventory, but they do seem to be actual items (like the RING96-98 intended for creatures that are also not droppable).

    @Bhryaen Little tip: You can turn override folder on and off in Near Infinity (I think it is under TOOLS). So when you want to check the unmodified (original) file just turn override off then you can compare the differences :)

    If a weapon is spelt right or wrong it will shown in Near Infinity as follows:

    (I'm making these up. They are just examples.)
    Wrong: "ax1ho5.itm (Unknown Item)" (or something similar)
    Correct: "ax1h05.itm (1 Handed Axe)" (or something similar)

    EDIT: Tip # 2. http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/858/bg1-bug-report-for-bgee#latest Get the pdf and I have shown exactly which ones were misspelt. This report shows how many of the bugs listed here are fixed.

    But for now here is a list of how the items should look (taken from the pdf report): 
    CREATURE     ATTRIBUTE     VALUE
    dead2        Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    deadf uck    Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    jamie        Item 0        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    lothan       Item 2        BOOT01 (The Paws of the Cheetah)
    aasim        Item 2        SHLD04 (Medium Shield +1)
    sakul        Item 7        SCRL1I (Hold Person)
    drelik       Item 6        SCRL1L (Monster Summoning I)
    flampun      Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    flampun2     Item 0        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    flamsco      Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    flamwiz      Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)
    kent         Item 1        SW1H04.ITM (Long Sword)

    AASIM.CRE still reads having SHIELD04 (null) when it should be SHLD04

    That is the only one in that list that is still not correct. Will look through the other creatures not listed

  • BalquoBalquo Member, Developer Posts: 2,746
    Funnily enough AASIM.CRE is the only one missing from @KeithS List.
  • CuvCuv Member, Developer Posts: 2,535
    Found one more:

    FLAMANG.CRE has SW1HO4 instead of SW1H04. The prior is a capital "oh" and not a zero.
  • BhryaenBhryaen Member Posts: 2,874
    @Balquo
    Well, in that case there are still plenty of items- even with the Overrides still on- that state "(Unknown)" next to them. Is that the cue that it's a botched item? I first thought it was but I was able to spawn the item (or RANTRE0x), so I thought it must be normal. Thanks for the tip though! :-)

    (EDIT: Nevermind... was checking with Overrides off... heh)
  • cmorgancmorgan Member Posts: 707
    There are some of those items in inventory and not equipped, according to the G3 Duburrerer. Hold on, I'll check, so you can recheck...

    @cmorgan - in your opinion, what amulet is pridem supposed to have? And any suggestions for the invalid weapons? Do glowtests appear in game or were they just for testing purposes?
  • WispWisp Member Posts: 1,102
    @SethDavis
    PRIDEM: the debugger is freaking because spec02 is a ring. In the amulet slot.

    Invalid weapon equipped: the message seems to simply mean that the selected-weapon index points to an empty slot.

    The glowtest creatures are unused.

    The invalid cloaks are armour placed in the cloak slot, which should probably be fixed.
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    @Wisp - Thanks, I was wondering as sometimes there wasn't an apparent issue (probably fixed since the post)
  • cmorgancmorgan Member Posts: 707
    yep - what Wisp said (and better than I could because I didn't know about glowtest.

    If you go farther than this, with the full logs in the other thread, most of the full debuggerer logs dealing with weapons that I didn't cull from the logs are situations where the .cre has the item in an inventory slot but not equipped - so Khalid may have both bows and arrows, but the bow is in hand and the arrows are in inventory rather than in a quiver. Some of the mods out there fix this so that .cres can use the equipment they were issued. Of course, that may interfere with inventory drops in some cases, but that is a question for folks who know more about this than I do.

    Verified - all the changes were made by @KeithS and should be in the next build, including the list by @cmorgan.

    LOL, dead[redacted]. Maybe erase that file, haha. - well AR5403 uses it, so... meh. bad bad bioware
    Btw, it is dead, so there was no point in giving it arrows. Same for all dead critters. This just increased entropy.

    @Avenger_teambg Some of the references they use in globals are interesting such as "shitnuts" etc
