@OlvynChuru Dimensional chest: Thankee! I wasn't sure. Appending the bit about items staying in the chest between castings would remove doubt.
What say you to revisiting this mod in the near-term? For example, you seemed interested in the capstone spells I mentioned earlier, like temporal stability. There are also many other potential spells and metamagics to include. I only ask because I love this mod so much! It's made my telekinetic flinging dreams come true in BG!
(As an aside, I'm unsure why perfect invisibility is a level 9, Illusionist-only spell that has such a short duration and can be foiled by true seeing.)
I remember there was a spell that allowed you the see the name of the spell while it's being cast - which is very if you want to decide to use copy spell and the like .
I there a way to enable that functionally (seeing the spell names being cast ) ?
@OlvynChuru
How to add metamagicked versions of spells to contingency, etc.? For example, how to add an Extended Fire Shield to Contingency assuming my CL is high enough to cast level 5 spells in this Contingency?
@kaiiak
That spell is Oracle, but Olvyn knows more on how it works.

This isn't feasible. The metamagic system is designed such that you can apply more than one metamagic for a single spell at once. To do this would require I make a copy of each spell for every possible metamagic combination, which would be creating hundreds of thousands of new spell files.
Thankee! I wanted to be sure I understood things correctly.
Bubb is also reworking EEex for 2.6. Once this is done, what are your plans for updating and expanding your mods? (Perhaps have some UI options to add metamagic to contingency, etc.)
@OlvynChuru
I installed EEex and Familiars Deliver Touch Spells. In-game, how do I make my familiar deliver touch spells?
Should units be able to cast through Walls of Force and Forcecages? It seemed odd that this 'invincible' barrier could be so easily circumvented. (Thicker walls would prevent melee from working.)
@OlvynChuru
I tested and EET seems to prevent the familiar touch spells from working. I made a Sor with Shocking Grasp and Find Familiar. I put my familiar next to Firebeard Elvenhair in the Candlekeep inn. I cast Shocking Grasp far from my familiar and Firebeard. I'm given no way to retarget Shocking Grasp & Chill Touch. The same thing happened with Ghoul Touch.
I tried making a Cleric/Mage in a 2 member party. She prepared Cure Light Wounds with her familiar out and I cast Cure Light Wounds with the familiar next to an injured party member. Nothing happened. The spell wasn't cast. When I moved the familiar away from the injured party member, I could cast Cure Light Wounds on the injured party member by having the Cleric/Mage walk to that person and cast CLW. The same thing happened with Vampiric Touch.

With Spell Revisions installed before OlvynSpells, the description for displacement is inaccurate. It says the spell range is Long but it's really Self-Only.
Hello every one
Need help with install
im using bg2ee 2.6
Installed the new EEex that is compatible with version 2.6 No problems
Then i installed Olvyn spells it installed fine no errors.
But when i went to use InfinityLoader to boot game got 2 LUA ERRORS
I get these 2 errors any help would be appreciated really love this mod.
Happy holidays
Also hehe forgot to say this is an EET install
this mod is very cool but i do have some questions.
I'm playing IWDEE to be clear.
1. can you HLA abilities in this mod if you play IWDEE and if so how?
2.how do you get level 10 spells in this mod are they quest-based or do they count as HLAs?

I m having the same issue. The following post suggests staying on 2.5 edition of the game.
Any news on an update maybe?
@Hiro
The problem is that @Bubb hasn't yet updated the 2.6 EEex to support OlvynSpells. OlvynChuru and I have been eagerly awaiting the appropriate update(s) to realize this.
I also tested today EEex 0.9.7 for 2.6 and OlvynSpells 2.2. I got the same errors as Hiro.
The new spells weren't available to learn at character creation, but I found new scrolls of arcane spells at High Hedge. I installed the ability for familiars to use touch spells but that didn't work.
In short, give Bubb time to finish updating EEex for OlvynSpells.
The mod looks great with many interesting features and ideas. Is there any kind of readme available ?
While waiting for an updated version of EEex, i am focusing on the components that play with Paladins and Rangers spells:
980 - Let Rangers and Paladins gain spells quicker and up to 6th-level spells *
990 - Let Rangers and Paladins cast spells at their full caster level
In my opinion very nice ideas to make thoses classes shine at low levels and later on also. I guess they don't need EEex.
* Does this component is related to opcode 191 effects ?
Subtledoctor in G3 reports that op191may have issues with stacking...It is beyond my knowledge but are we expecting potential issues installing "980 - Let Rangers and Paladins gain spells quicker and up to 6th-level spells" ?

As long as you don't install anything else that messes around with the caster level of rangers or paladins, it shouldn't be a problem.
Has anybody gotten the latest version of this mod to work without EEex installed?
The "New spells" component causes my BG2:EE on Linux to reliably crash on starting a new game (or on loading a savegame), even when installed in a fresh installation with no other mods.
According to `gdb`, the crash happens in the "DecodeEffect" function:
Thread 1 "BaldursGateII" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

According to `strace`, the last system-calls made before the crash are (apparently) opening and reading the file `override/meperms1.spl`:
The latest version doesn't seem to work properly in Throne of Bhaal. I started a new game in ToB to test out some of the spells and it gets stuck on a black screen. If I save and quit, I load into the game but the stone heads dialogue never starts. This was on a clean install with just the latest version of your mod. The spells themselves seem to work fine though and I'd really like to use them in a new run. Any idea what's going on?

I there a way to enable that functionally (seeing the spell names being cast ) ?

Put your familiar next to the enemy while your character isn't next to them, then cast the spell on them.
I tested and EET seems to prevent the familiar touch spells from working. I made a Sor with Shocking Grasp and Find Familiar. I put my familiar next to Firebeard Elvenhair in the Candlekeep inn. I cast Shocking Grasp far from my familiar and Firebeard. I'm given no way to retarget Shocking Grasp & Chill Touch. The same thing happened with Ghoul Touch.

The same thing happened with Vampiric Touch.
Incorporating this code may fix the problem.

The newest EEex as of this writing isn't yet compatible with EEex-required mods. Stay with 2.5 for the moment to use said mods.
Once EEex is updated for 2.6, what do you plan to fix/add for OlvynSpells?
Thankee!

Bubb released EEex 0.98. I'm unsure if this has all you seek to update your mods to 2.6, but this is a reminder if so.
Request for OlvynSpells when it's time: spectral hand! This way, people can remotely deliver some touch spells regardless of their familiar!

This new version seems to work, thanks.
OlvynSpells is intended for an EEex version that as of this writing only works on 2.5.
Were you using EET?
