I'm also trying SCS for the first time, but I'm running into a problem with smarter mages (and presumably clerics), described here.
Anyone know anything more about this? I'd be happy with a solution I can do myself if it's copied the wrong files somehow, rather than waiting for a patch.
Can I screw up my SCS installation and/or the current game I have going by making a tiny change in BG2 Tweaks? I actually already did the change, more precisely I uninstalled one component 'Unlimited jewelry and stacks'. I just noticed that this small change caused the entire SCS to automatically uninstall and reinstall itself.
What happened is the way WeiDU is supposed to function. WeiDU layers one mod atop another. That way, two mods can both edit the same file (assuming they are written well). However, when you want to uninstall a particular mod, WeiDU has to uninstall all the mods installed after that mod, then reinstall them. Otherwise, uninstalling the mod could break mods installed after it.

So I take it there should be no problems. Every SCS component seemed to reinstall successfully anyway.
Guys, cant download SCS from gibberlings, when i click "Download" button it rdirects me to forum gibberligs, i ve found thread on forum, BUT when i click on download link on forum it again redirects me to main forum page w/o downloading mod, please, those who already have mod, upload it somewhere or send meh to e-mail : andrey1022@gmail.com
@Dexter Unrar the patch file under the same directory. Then you can install SCS as usual. The patch will overwrite files in the "stratagems" subdirectory.
@DavidW I was looking at the readme, and I saw the "Installing on non-Windows systems" chapter. You mention the Mac/Os and the Linux, but you didn't mention the iOs (or the android, but I don't know anything about this). Since I know you can install SCS on your iPad (jailbroken or not), I think you can add it.

Last time I looked, you can't fully install it on a (non-jailbroken) iPad because the dialog can't update. Has this changed?
@DavidW No, this isn't changed, but it involves merely the description of some spells (if you do a silent install as you suggested). It's perfectly playable, you just need to mention that.
But if you don't want people to play a non-complete version of SCS, you could just mention that you know someone who actually did it and you are not responsible for any issue Just to let people (who doesn't read this forum) know that they can actually play scs on iPad.
Version 30 is out, hot on the heels of v29; it updates the Polish translation and fixes a few bugs that crept into v29.
For those of us who went through the v29 install yesterday, are the bugs significant enough to worry about. Despite my Polish in-laws, I am not impacted by that language update!
If you're on BGII:EE, I think mostly the answer is "no". Your werewolf tokens will be oddly labelled; your liches will not be affected by Breach. The former is cosmetic. If the latter annoys you, you can hotfix by downloading https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8561203/LICH.ITM and putting it in the override folder.
@DavidW Thanks a lot, again, for your work. Your come back, and this compilation of bugs fixes is really nice.
I really hope you'll manage to fix these damn liches once and for all (the breach liches component has always been one of my favorites for some reason).
@Maxxximus That's one of the optional components.
It will be very cool if instead of just removing option was something like this Shield of Balduran 1. 25% probability of blocking beholder rays 2. 50% probability of blocking beholder rays 3. Go in hell cheat item
@DavidW have you any plans, at this point, for the new content added in the enhanced editions ? WIll you change the NPC AI of these components with SCS ? As far as i know, they're still vanilla AI (even though slightly upgraded by Beamdog).
I can't seem the find the amazon mercenary group. At least not in the map after exiting Nashkal Mines. I thought the new version no longer make them chase you, or move them anywhere? Are they moved? Couldn't find any info about it.

Or even better:
Good *improved luck, @Wiggles!
*improved luck means all your characters in the first 5 SCS attempts have pre-buffed themselves Luck spell

Alternatively you can wait for the v29.
Thanks and congratulations for the new release !
