Any clue which mod of mine is altering spell interuption? Or 2.6.6?

Hi all,

Welcome 2.6.6!

My memory of vanilla was that any damage to any character resulted in their spell cast failing.
The only exception was that there were certain scripted fights, like Mulahey in BG Nashkel mines, which will get off their spells 100% no matter what.

The install I have now damage only interupts maybe 1 in 8 times. 7 times they will continue casting regardless of how much damage is taken.

My question is this: As I have 99% of the same mods as usual (Ascension, Questpack, Wheels, Item Rev, Spell Rev, SCS, CDTweaks, Randomiser), I'm wondering what changed, is there a mod update anyone knows of that effected this?

Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?

Im looking through the weidu and spell revisions readme to see what it may be.

Thank you!

So I think I figured it out:

Basically theres a file called concentr.2da in the overide folder which I opened with notepad which was set to '1'. I change it to '0' and now it seems to work as before.

Im 99% sure this used to be '0' as default in 2.5 as I've never changed this ever before on a fresh install.
Maybe a mod I have changed it? But as I'm using the same MODS as usual dont think so, but possible.

Maybe it is new to 2.6 in general, or 2.6.6 specifically to have it set to '1' as default?

Any ideas welcome, thank you!

UPDATE: I did a fresh install in a new folder. 2.6.6 doesn't seem to have a concentr.2da file at all, so it must be from a MOD but I cannot figure out which.

I did a search to see if there is a 'concentr.2da' file in a mod folder but didn't find anything.

Thanks!

In the BG2EE 2.0 patch notes

Spellcasting Failure (16669)
The way that spellcasters fail after taking damage has
been externalized to CONCENTR.2da. By default, any
damage a spellcaster takes will cause them to fail their
spellcasting.
CHECK_MODE
0 Any damage
1 (1d20 + luck) vs. (spell level + damage taken)
2 (1d20 + Concentration ) vs. (15 + spell level)
Note from the Developers: This is inspired by a feature
from ToBEx. Be aware that Baldur's Gate games have
no Concentration skill; using that option will use a basic
1d20+luck formula for the caster's check.

Concentration comes from ToBEx but it has an error (probs a typo) in the EE implementation. Subtledoctor still rants about it regularly on G3.

You can run

weidu --log nul --change-log concentr.2da

to see which mod/component introduced it. I suspect SR, but that's because I don't play with that one.

Hiya,

I didnt figure out to run the weidu command (does one download weidu separately?) however after playing around on a fresh install and only SR installed I can confirm it is the mod that changes it.

(concentration checks using 1d20+luck etc to be set to 1/ 'on')

I now need to give it a try with it being on...

THanks

For future reference, all of the setup-MOD executables are renamed WeiDU executables and you could rename any of those for this command.
