Ascension: Five Death Script Glitch (Spoilers)

in BGII:EE Mods
I just finished an Ascension-SCS solo run on BG2EE with the Big Picture mod and Oversight (Sendai) installed. BP-Ascension is currently the only way to install Ascension, as @Cuv's version is not ready yet. I can verify that it runs mostly well, except for two instances: when I was fighting Sendai (Enclave Fight) and the Five (Final Fight).
When I was fighting Sendai, I couldn't get her to launch her death script after going through her statues and bringing her to Near Death over multiple instances. I eventually moved on by doing the Shapeshift-Mindflayer trick, which killed her and started the Pocket Plane cutscene.
The second glitch was when I fought the Final Five and I couldn't get Abazigal to launch his death script. Every time I brought him to Near Death, he would change into... Irenicus! And the fight could not be finished because Melissan can only be killed after all of the Five have launched their death scripts. For this glitch, I had to go into the script for Abazigal (using Near Infinity) and found that he was missing a death script, but instead had a strange script which transformed him into Irenicus. So I copied Yaga's death script with some appropriate changes and replaced the Irenicus portion as below:
IF
HPLT(Myself,20)
Global("DeathScriptAbaz","AR6200",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetInterrupt(FALSE)
SetGlobal("DeathScriptAbaz","AR6200",1)
ClearActions(Myself)
CreateVisualEffectObject("ICRMPARI",Myself)
CreateVisualEffectObject("SPROTECT",Myself)
ActionOverride("finmel01",ClearActions(Myself))
ReallyForceSpellDeadRES("melspl10","finmel01") // Feedback
Kill(Myself)
END
That solved the glitch. Was able to deal with the Five, save Balthazar from Near Death, and finally bring Melissan down. Took my four years to get around to finishing Ascension, but I finally did it. Whew!
After this, I took a look at the Sendai script and noticed it was missing a death script. Haven't replayed that part yet, but I intend to insert a death script from Abazigal (Enclave) into her script and hope it works:
IF
HPLT(Myself,20)
Global("Death","LOCALS",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
ClearAllActions()
Wait(1)
SetGlobal("Death","LOCALS",1)
StartDialogueNoSet(Player1)
END
Anyway, all's good and I just wanted to share my experience with others in case they come across the same glitches.

"BP stands for The Big Picture. This is a compatibility mod with AI improvements that allows you to integrate most of the currently existing large mods as well as several smaller mods into one giant game. BP is an active ongoing project with the overall goal of making as many mods compatible with each other as possible."
http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/546-the-big-picture-v181/
BP also includes most of Weimar's Tactics mod, and it plays well with SCS except possibly for the glitches I mentioned. I should also add that this approach is not endorsed by @Cuv, Horred of Big Picture or DavidW of SCS, so I wouldn't complain to them about any glitches. That said, I had a great time running through the full BG2EE-Ascension-Tactics-SCS experience. If you want to try my approach, I suggest installing the BP Series script as well, since I had problems installing BP without it. The link is:

And nice job on the glitch fix with Sendai!
btw, considering I don't exactly have 10 years of experience with the game putting tactics onto my game as well may be seriously overkill. last year I couldn't beat just ascension with no SCS, but I have learned a lot since and was hoping to do those two, but I fear having all three. I suppose I won't have to have any of the tactics items included?
also I am not sure how easy it would be but are you capable of sharing the fixed files? i have added mods to my game but my experience in modding itself is very limited. I am willing to teach myself if you can though
@cuv not worried I don't have dorn in my party
I love the Tactics encounters even if they can be considered a little challenging at first try. SCS is also challenging but I find it a great learning experience to see how the SCS AI takes advantage of spells and abilities which human players may overlook.
i am only trying to make sure if you had this as well. i will likely have to just deal with it, but it would be good to know I am not the only one. having a good time so far taking on the challenge again. this crew is much more capable than the last one I tried
When I need to uninstall a mod or a component which is not at the absolute end of my Weidu log, the only clean way to do it is to restore the original BG2EE files using the installer, then doing the Weidu routine from scratch. The restoration is actually quite quick. If nothing else works, why don't you try this approach and see if it works for you.
A tip for you before you go and restore your original files: note that the process cleans up your playing directory and erases your Weidu mod files. To speed up the reinstallation of your mods, I suggest you first copy out all of your Weidu mod files in your 00783 folder into a separate folder, then bring them back to the 00783 folder after the restoration. For each mod you wish to copy, you need the .bat file (if applicable), .exe file, the mod folder, as well as the .tp2 file.
Good luck!
Also I uninstalled it before even entering, so the area was never loaded to get screwed up. I just know that if I switch to my other install the giants just suddenly appear after a moment, so it rather seems to be something that remains in the install. Guess I will have to deal with it. As I said fire giants aren't that hard at all. Just move your Hurt characters away, and if there are multiple send in a horrid wilting. Jaheira can also fire resist and iron skin to tank
This is not only my recommendation, but that of the Big World crew. I've never done the unadvised reverse order test, maybe it's possible?
A temporary exception for Rogue Rebalancing and aTweaks, as they use an old version of Detectable Spells that break part of BP (a fix for broken STATE_DISEASED). Downside is that BP has code for aTweaks Mummy Rot, which won't be handled w/ this install order.
As for the death scripts and the "requirement" of BP-Series, I'll get a patch up this weekend. I had no problems killing Sendai in my own tests, nor w/ the cutscene firing. But, those fixes won't hurt either.
Fire giants were present in the temple, and Yaga-Shura used his hammer to the party's detriment in the rain of boulders from his assistants.
As for the Innate Spells (was it this thread, or another?) breaking because of a bad spell in another mod...when using lots of mods, I recommend using Lol's Fixer instead of BP's component. It handles a bunch of outside mods, where BP only handles the vanilla game. That's because I devised the weidu system, and Lollorian ran w/ the ball and added it to the "Big Mixer" of mega-mods. This was the reason I made it a seperate component, instead of including it in the BP core.
I'll work on getting a patch together soon, right after I get my actual work caught up. My best guess is late this weekend, or some time early next week.
P.S: I noticed from looking at the install order, that no BP AI components (e.g. Animals, Demon/Devils, Elementals, etc) were used. This I presume to be the user's choice. Please don't let that deter you/others from using them. As long as you don't mix specific things between SCS and BP (Spellcasters, General AI, or other components of similar names/styles) you'll be fine. The same advice goes for BP and any other mod w/ enemy AI (aTweaks vs BP undead, e.g.)
Do I need to uninstall SCS first or something?
I just want to play Ascension...
http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/29523/question-about-installing-big-picture-in-order
I'll check the final battle next, pass along any odd findings like above.
EDIT: I don't know where the "strange script"mentioned for Abazigail came from, but it wasn't from BP. BP installs only FINABAZ.bcs in the default slot, like the original Ascension. There's nothing in it that could change them into Irenicus. Did you have other Ascension-related mods installed, besides BP? Oversight, your post says? Any others? You may wish to check with that/those author(s), because BP is not the culprit.
Thanks for taking the time to report. If it was my mod causing the problems I'd be happy to help.
Firstly thanks for BP-Ascension so that players like me can complete BG2EE with Ascension! As I stated in the OP, I shared my experience of the glitches not because I wanted to single out a particular mod as being responsible, but to ensure that other players can have the full Ascension experience with BG2EE. Truth is, I don't really know which mod caused my particular glitches which is why I didn't feel it was right to reach out to you, DavidW or the other mod owners for a solution, although I'm sure glad that you're actively helping us players to improve our mod experience!
I agree it could be a particular combination of my mods, such as Oversight, SCS and possibly Tactics which could have caused the glitches, since they do tweak Sendai, Abazigal and Irenicus. I admit I also don't have a firm handle on the installation order, except that it mostly worked for me; my order was set up so that I can run the Proficiencies component in the Ashes of Ember mod. Other installation sequences don't seem to work so well with Ashes-Proficiencies. If the Big World and Spellhold Studio recommended order is different, I would defer to you and them for getting a workable mod installation for other players.
I would also echo your suggestion on the BP AI components. This was entirely my choice because I am "used to" the SCS AI components and I didn't have time to work out which combination of the BP and SCS AI components work together. Might try that in my next FMC playthrough...
The Tactics mod components are a likely culprit here. Well-known for overwriting the same files that other mods merely patch, thus destroying their work and often leaving both mods unusable. That's about the only reason I left those few Tactics components in BP all these years. I'm more than happy to remove them/donate them if the mod is ever modernized. I personally never use them, so no sleep will be lost.
I'm still curious who's casting the "change into Irenicus" spell. Oversight is the next likely culprit, but we can't be too sure. Considering one of the Tactics choices was Improved Irenicus....hmm
If I want to install BP-Ascension (TotdG, SCS, Sellswords are already installed), do I still need the party BP AI stuff pre installed?
And I better do not install the tactic components that are part of Ascension or what?
darklys solution is only necessary in his "botched" setup
Someone already logged that issue on the SCS forum.
I have no clue about his setup. However you can see those lines of code in the recent Stratagems ascension packages (finabaz.ssl), file dated from August 2013.
No such things in SCSII-v21 for instance.
You can try installing in this order, but I don't recommend it. If something goes wrong...(*points to last bit of advice*)
All you need to install BP Ascension is the BP Core component. All you need to install the Improved sub-components of BP-Ascension is BP-Ascension installed (plus the core).
SCS offers some improvements on Ascension and its extras--naturally you'll need Ascension installed to use these. That's really why I say 1) BP Core & Ascension 2) SCS 3) Rest of BP. Some have reported problems when installing BP core after SCS, but this was months ago (haven't heard anything since).
EDIT: You'll have to watch out for the "Irenicus" polymorph using SCS-Ascension, because according to @Musigny SCS is the cause of this bug. That fix posted above might be needed, because SCS might just give you that "botched" install.
I don't "think" your other 2 mods will be anything of a problem. It's just BP and SCS, because they adjust the same creatures in different ways.
I did leave a post about the Sendai and Irenicus glitches in the SCS forums, and Polytope replied in my post that he encountered the Irenicus polymorph bug earlier. I could be mistaken, but his post implied he installed Weidu Ascension rather than BP-Ascension in a non-Enhanced game, so the Irenicus bug seems to be an SCS issue. I encountered this in SCS v.28 and there hasn't been another update, so those running SCS can try the solution I set out. The immortal Sendai bug has been reported elsewhere in this forum, so I can't be sure if it is BG2EE, Tactics or Oversight.
Am surprised no one else has posted about a successful run through BP-Ascension in BG2EE. Would be interested to know if any other players encountered the glitches I mentioned.
I do not know how those SCS ssl scripts are built.
All I am saying is that the Irenicus ChangeAnimation bits are seen in the finabz.ssl file included in the Stratagems 28 raw package (more exactly in the latest v28 unversioned update - no clue about the previous packages).
@darkly180
I faced the immortal sendai "bug" too.
This was no surprise as this used to be the case with the original vanilla BG2.
Sounds like a race condition : if you let her breath she sometimes drops her final two lines and die.
And should I reinstall anything at any point of this?
Or rather, how do I avoind reinstalling SCS II? It's a pain... really long.
