Sword Coast Stratagems is now available for BG:EE and BGII:EE

The newest version of my mod "Sword Coast Stratagems", version 25, is now out and ought to be a bit improvement on previous versions for BG:EE in terms of stability and ease of install. It should be compatible with version 1.2 of BG:EE and (with any luck) with BG2:EE when it comes out later this week. The new version fixes a host of bugs large and small (though mostly not with BG:EE, as it happens) and (with some trepidation) I'm declaring it non-beta, though realistically it's still beta for BG2:EE.

You can download it from http://www.gibberlings3.net/scs

Edit: after two fast updates in response to problems identified with BG2:EE installs, we're now on v27. I've had to disable the "Improved Vampires" component on BG2:EE installs for the moment: some kind of animation bug is causing crashes and I don't immediately have time to sort it out. (If you have installed that component, I recommend uninstalling it.)

Edit: version 29 now out. Many thanks for Mad Mate and others for the unofficial Fixpack they produced last year; fixes from that are now incorporated into v29.

    That's really great. Thanks a lot for all your work !

    I was about to report some bugs but you fixed them now. Only two things i experienced in v 24 with BGEE 1.2 don't seem to be fixed in v25:
    - Improved Mulahey is still buggy
    - "NPC go to Inns" and "NPC pairs" components didn't work for me (NPC acted like in vanilla in my game) though it may be related to a conflict in my installation.

    Anyway, now it seems SCS is really stable, and only a few minor bugs are left. Thank you again !

    MUlahey is *still* buggy? Sigh... Will chase.
  • PalanthisPalanthis Member Posts: 283
    Well, i speak for v24. He was buggy in it, with its infinite waves of kobolds.

    Didn't saw him in v25 yet, but i didn't see it mentionned in the bugfix list. Sorry if i wasn't clear enough.

    Reduced reputation increase doesn't seem to work for me. I choose 1/4 and get all the points.

    Can reproduce. There's a typo that's preventing that particular choice (1/4) from working. 1/3 should be fine. Will fix shortly.

    No idea, sorry. I don't have Steam.

    Wow, I can't wait to test this new version! Most anticiped update! Besides the BG:EE one, of course ;) !
  • BerconBercon Member Posts: 485
    AFAIK Steam version should be the same as other versions, you just have to find the folder where the game is stored.

    I have found small bug. When you dismiss one NPC from pair and order him to wait in inn, the other is lost. For instance i kicked out Khalid, so with moved away Jaheira. But i could order to wait only Khalid and only Khalid was in inn. Jaheira dispeared.

    For Steam version, extract the file to the main BG install folder, mine is:

    D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition

    Then run the stratagems-v25 file. Install it to the same address as above (whatever yours is).

    The DOS looking installer (Weidu I think it is) thing will pop up and just go through all the options.

    A very Stupid question:
    Do I nedd to Install SCS twice? Once for BGEE and once for BG2EE?
  • DavidWDavidW Member Posts: 823
    Yep.
  • artificial_sunlightartificial_sunlight Member Posts: 601
    @Pibaro there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. (and Yep. is not an stupid answer)

    @DavidW thanks for the commitment!

    Ugh, looks as if I broke something when I sorted out languages. Tell me what game you're installing on?
  • moody_magemoody_mage Member Posts: 2,054

    Does this mod improve the Black Pits AI? I'm playing through on the game right now and am really enjoying the changes. I'm hoping I can get some surprises in the fights in Black Pits!
