[dupe]Polymorph Self Bug - Caster's Weapon Deselected after Spell Ends

Mortianna

Current Behavior
After the Polymorph Self expires, the caster's weapon is deselected, defaulting to non-lethal fist damage. This is especially problematic for Imp familiars, since their weapon (item code: S1-6) cannot be reselected.

Expected Behavior
When Polymorph Self expires, the caster's weapon slot should be reselected.

This is actually a rather more extense bug, that is hardcoded and causes the melee weapon to be selected after the .itm from the Magical-weapons slot is gone, instead of the weapon that was selected before, and, Fists are always preferred by the engine.

Fixing this (in the easy way) would just mean giving the Imp a weapon for each of his 4 weapon-slots:

COPY_EXISTING famimp.cre override
              famimp25 override // ToB version too
ADD_CRE_ITEM "s1-6" #0 #0 #0 "IDENTIFIED" WEAPON1 EQUIP
ADD_CRE_ITEM "s1-6" #0 #0 #0 "IDENTIFIED" WEAPON2
ADD_CRE_ITEM "s1-6" #0 #0 #0 "IDENTIFIED" WEAPON3
ADD_CRE_ITEM "s1-6" #0 #0 #0 "IDENTIFIED" WEAPON4

@CrevsDaak - I already tried assigning its weapon in all four of the weapon slots, but to no avail. It still does non-lethal punching damage after Polymorphing back to its original form (and, therefore, cannot attack sleeping/prone enemies).

What version of the game do you have - I'm trying the PC release version (1.3.2053) and a polymorphed then reverted familiar is killing my protagonist - so can't be using fists?

& whichever slot I put my quarterstaff in, that is what my protagonist ends up with after a polymorph. Regardless of whether he starts with fists or staff selected.

@Gate70 - I'm using the latest PC version you listed. I have the SCS mod installed, but without the spell modifications. I'll try uninstalling it and see if that fixes things.

*Update: I uninstalled the SCS mod and started a new game, but am experiencing the same problem. Any suggestions?

Mortianna

@Gate70 - FYI: I uninstalled and then reinstalled BGEE with no mods and am still having the same issue, both with my PC and Imp after casting Polymorph.

Was that on a new game @Mortianna‌ or using a save created earlier (I'll double check on my side with a new game).

Thanks

Maybe this is a similar bug: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/35728/melfs-minute-meteors-and-ranged-weapons

@Gate70 I believe @DarKelP‌ is correct. It is also the same bug I reported in the beta forum

Mortianna

@Gate70 It was a brand new game.

@Sed @DarKelP The only difference with the Polymorph bug is that it defaults to no weapon being selected (fists only) after the spell ends.

@Mortianna Yes, if the caster doesn't have any melee weapon (for example two ranged weapon), then it defaults to fists after the spell (Melf's minute meteors or Energy blades) ends.

Dupe.
