Your mod fails to install on SoD games (mobile version) -----> As you know, this is due to the fact that in this case SoD is a standalone game.... This means that AR0805.are is missing, thus the mod cannot be installed.... Not sure if you can do something about that.....
Could you try the attached fix? Unpack it to the same location as the original mod before installing the mod. It updates a number of scripts where I have added more file checks.

eet.tph is not touched by the fix. Did you unpack the archive to the same location as the full Golem Construction v5.4? It should trigger some overwrite warnings if it's unpacked correctly.
Edit: Unless your zip unpacker removes the whole "lib" subfolder for some reason. In that case you could unpack the fix to a separate location and copy over the files manually.
There is no need to delete anything. Just unpack the fix and allow it to overwrite the respective files.
OK, I see what you meant ----> I was supposed to merge the 2 folders instead of overwriting..... Now the mod installs fine, thanks! You can release a new version with these extra file checks.....
Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to make it compatible for both SoD standalone and for BG:EE + SoD ?
The mod will still install content for the BG:EE part even if it doesn't exist. However, missing game files will now be gracefully skipped, so that installation completes successfully even on a pure SoD installation.
@argent77, at the end of August I did a complete re-install of the game (new hard drive) and I installed the latest golem mod. I am in my first run through of BG2EE (played through BGEE with mage and got 4 golem books and exported to BG2EE). I reached Kahlid and his body is no longer a maggot infested body for my mage. Has something changed in the mod release?
No, the mod didn't change. The container is initially disabled though, and becomes only available if at least one party member has learned how to build golems.
I learned how to make golems in BGEE/SoD and imported to BG2EE. So you need someone to learn in BG2EE or it doesn't count?
Note: My mage can build Flesh, Clay, Stone, and Maggot golems from my BGEE/SoD import. I used the build golem ability and those show as buildable in BG2EE when I first got out of the cage.
The mod checks whether imported characters have learned how to build golems, but it looks like one of the variables is not properly restored. It'll be fixed in the next release.
You can fix it manually with this command: C:SetGlobal("A7!GolemAbility","GLOBAL",1)
Hello, great mod . A quick question, what limitations are there on the places you can use to build golems please? We are getting the message that this place is unusable in Jermien's house (& The Temple of Helm my Blackguard got as a stronghold for some reason).
You need Jermien's permission before you can build golems in his home. That option is only available if the protagonist is a mage/bard or Imoen is present.
The temple is only available to the protagonist after making it his/her stronghold.
Afair, the only other restriction concerns Magic Golems, which have to be constructed in wild magic zones.
@argent77 hi i just wanted to ask is the "Replace original Golem Manual" component from this mod compatible with the "Upgradeable equipment" component of the "Rogue Rebalancing" mod?, i mostly ask since that component has an item (Stonesmasher +4) that consumes the original "Stone Golem manual" to upgrade it (this is the recipe: Stonesmasher + Stone Golem manual + 5000gp), soo are they compatible or should i drop one of these mods?.
In that case you should skip the "Replace original Golem Manual" component, since it removes the original golem manual from the game completely. I'll add a compatibility check for this RR component in the next version.
Stumbled upon a little error. IWD EE. Malavon Battle.
After killing the copy does not appear a real Malavon, so i can not get a badge and get out of the Malavon's Dome.
If remove Golem Construction for Spellcasters and load the save before entering the Malavon's Dome, there is no error. Real Malavon in it appears and it can be killed.

I have fixed this issue locally. It will be available with the next mod release.
For now you can trigger the real Malavon to appear by entering the following console command:
No, a restart is not needed. However, you might miss some tomes or ingredients on maps or stores you have already visited before you installed the mod.
OK, I have another question about one of your function, i.e., TO_HEX_NUMBER.
I noticed that if you want to use it to append a value to STATE.ids, then you need to remove the following ACTION_IFs for all those values where BIT31 (0x80000000) is set
ACTION_IF (value < 0) BEGIN
OUTER_SET signed = 1
OUTER_SET value = 0 - value
END ELSE BEGIN
OUTER_SET signed = 0
END
ACTION_IF (signed) BEGIN
OUTER_TEXT_SPRINT hexNumber ~-%hexNumber%~
END
As an example, try executing the following code:
OUTER_SET custom_state = 0x00000001 BOR 0x00000002 BOR 0x00000004 BOR 0x00000008 BOR 0x00000020 BOR 0x00000029 BOR 0x00000FC0 BOR 0x00010000 BOR 0x00100000 BOR 0x80000000 // = 0x80110FEF
LAF TO_HEX_NUMBER
INT_VAR
minDigits = 8
prefix = 1
value = custom_state
RET
hexNumber
END
APPEND ~STATE.IDS~ ~%hexNumber% CUSTOM_STATE~
Have a look at that entry using NI:
observed value: -0x7FEEF011 --> This is followed by this warning: "Error interpreting STATE.IDS: -0x7FEEF011 CUSTOM_STATE
expected value: 0x80110FEF
As you know, both NI and WeiDU use signed integers and 0x80000000 (BIT31) is the sign bit, which means all values for which BIT31 are set are interpreted as negative.
To sum up, 0x80110FEF is correctly labeled as negative by your function (and this is in agreement with the two's complement binary representation), but the appended value is wrong..... Could it be that STATE.ids uses unsigned integers?
EDIT: managed by myself, sorry! (can't seem to find a delete reply button)
EDIT 2: I'm actually having a new type of trouble. My golem seems to appear in cutscenes, including in places where he should be invisible and where my party supposedly isn't there. Happening in SoD currently.
@Arthas the readme will tell you how it works. You can find the readme at - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\A7-GolemConstruction\readme
For the book you found, here is what the readme says:
This golem can be built by the necromancer Arkion (for a fee) who lives in Baldur's Gate, south of the Elfsong Tavern.

@argent77 is there an update that includes all the little fixes for the last 10 months? I have a new computer and am setting everything back up and want to make sure I don't rediscover things that I had modified along the way.
Comments
EDIT: I see my issue. I have been looking for a potion bottle labeled Cursed Antidote, when I just needed the purple antidote bottle.
Edit: Unless your zip unpacker removes the whole "lib" subfolder for some reason. In that case you could unpack the fix to a separate location and copy over the files manually.
Yes, I replaced the lib folder that comes with the mod with the lib folder you linked above.......

Both offsets are correct. CRE effect V2 structures omit the 8-byte EFF V2 header.

I found the manual but it seems I can't use it for now. Do I need to wait to enter baldur's gate before starting to make these golems?
