    Sure.

    This will be true if Beast Sense is not in the game.
    NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~MEPR251.SPL~
    

    This will be true if Extend Vision is not in the game.

    So its better to install B_Spells first or OlvynSpells??
  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075

    @majber Either one first should be fine.

    Edit: Actually, installing OlvynSpells after other spell mods is probably better. OlvynSpells does some patches to all spells in the game, so the new spells of other mods won't patched if you install them after OlvynSpells.

    One more question, is your mod compatible with Spell Revisions mod?
  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075
    @majber Yes, it is. You can install both.

    Version 1.3.5 is out!

    I fixed a game-breaking bug that had made it impossible to rest or leave Candlekeep in BG1 if SoD wasn't installed.

    I also added some new components, which enhance certain existing spells.

    One component makes Animal Summoning and Monster Summoning spells more useful, causing them to summon more creatures based on caster level:

    Another component makes Meteor Swarm more awesome by having it drop individual meteors randomly in the area of effect (one meteor per level).

    Where in the install order would EEex and this mod go? Early?

  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075
    @Necromanx2 Late. Maybe before pure tweak mods but after other spell mods.

    Thank you Olvyn for this great mod. I really love Shapeshifting fireball and chain contingency.
    Mass cast is really cool too, but should be limited to low level spell (May be you can't do that, my knowledge in spell edition is too limited)

    I've notice Slime drop animation is very pixelized and may be too big.

    Do you think you could manage to do a spell like Ice assassin with EEX? It create a simulacrum of an ennemy

    I tried to install the new spells but get the following error:
    ERROR: Failure("GET_2DA_ROW: Could not find a row that contains * in column 1.")
    Attached is the debug-file

    @ArjukKagrim I just uploaded a fix which should solve that problem. You can download the new version of the mod here.

    @nysi Chain Contingency was already in the game. Were you talking about Recurring Contingency or something?

    Mass Cast cannot be made to only work with lower-level spells, for technical reasons.

    There isn't much I can do to make the Slime Drop animation look better.

    A spell that creates a simulacrum of an enemy should be possible.

    Thank you both of you for feedback!
  • nysinysi Member Posts: 60
    Oh sorry I was meaning recurring contingency indeed.

    I will try to make the ice assassin if you think it's possible :), thanks for the advice.
  • ArjukKagrimArjukKagrim Member Posts: 44
    Thanks for the fix, the old problem is gone but i now encounter this error-message, maybe because of some other mod incompability? :/

    @ArjukKagrim I just released another update which fixes that problem as well. You can download the latest version here.
  • ArjukKagrimArjukKagrim Member Posts: 44
    The new version did not fix the issue for me, it's unfortunately still the same.
  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075
    Version 1.4 is released!

    Five new spells:

    Contingent Resurrection (HLA cleric spell)

    Warrior Simulacrum (5th-level wizard illusion spell)
    Clone Other (8th-level wizard illusion spell)
    Damage Turning (9th-level wizard abjuration spell)

    @nysi On your request, I made a spell that creates a simulacrum of an enemy:

    @ArjukKagrim This new version fixes that installation issue.

    Wow thanks a lot !
    I will try it :)

    Edit : It work perfectly. Great idea to add a maximum level requirement to balance the spell.

    Not sure why Wall of Force is considered over powered (labeled P)?
  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075
    @Necromanx2 It can block off a hallway, and for most enemies there's no way to get past it. Other spells that could potentially block a hallway (like Web) offer a saving throw, whereas with Wall of Force, even powerful BG2 enemies with high Saving Throws and high Magic Resistance can't pass the wall.

    The new version 1.4.1 produces again an installation error which I did not have with 1.4 (that worked). Attached the debug-log
  • OlvynChuruOlvynChuru Member Posts: 3,075
    @ArjukKagrim Ugh, those errors are the worst! The place where it crashed was not changed in v1.4.1 from v1.4. Are you using different mods from when you installed v1.4 successfully?

    In any case, I'll try to solve the problem in the next update.
  • ArjukKagrimArjukKagrim Member Posts: 44
    Yes, I started a new playthrough and added Dark Side of the Sword Coast to my installation. Maybe thats causes the issue.

    Version 1.4.5 is released!

    There are five new spells.

    One is Familiar Spell, a special sequencer spell which lets you choose a 1st-level spell for your familiar. The familiar will automatically cast a copy of that spell each time it hits an enemy.

    Other new spells:

    Critical Boon (2nd-level priest spell for rangers and paladins only)
    7dtukngucudy.png

    Mind Fog (6th-level wizard enchantment spell)
    oqa97u2m92lg.png

    Empower Familiar (6th-level wizard conjuration spell)
    3n5pj6xnemfe.png

    Eclectic Recall (HLA wizard spell)
    wxebqt711egk.png

    There are two new components. One of them lowers the duration of Protection of Magical Weapons to 3 rounds but also raises the duration of Absolute Immunity to 5 rounds (this is so you have a reason to use Mantle, Improved Mantle and Absolute Immunity more rather than just Protection from Magical Weapons all the time).

    The other component revises Chain Lightning. In Baldur's Gate 2 normally, the spell barely does any damage. This component makes it more like the IWD version: it bounces between enemies and does a good amount of damage (1d6 per level, max 20d6, 1d6 less each time it chains to a new enemy). It won't harm party members.

    (The chain-looking animation is only present if you have EEex installed; otherwise it's a normal-looking Lightning Bolt projectile bouncing between the creatures like in IWD).

    @ArjukKagrim In this new version, I changed the part that crashed for you. Try it out and see if it works now.

    I just tested the new version and receive unfortunately another error:
    ERROR: illegal 2-byte read from offset 2354 of 2354-byte file SPWI202.SPL
    ERROR: [SPWI202.SPL] -> [override/SPWI202.SPL] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("SPWI202.SPL: read out of bounds"))

    I just released Version 1.5!

    Three new spells:

    Levitate (2nd-level wizard alteration spell). A levitating creature cannot move unless it can fly, and it gets a +20 AC bonus against melee attacks, but also a -20 THAC0 penalty with melee attacks.

    Contingency Curse (8th-level wizard enchantment spell).

    jww6r2e3dkd6.png

    Teleport Step (9th-level wizard alteration spell). This spell lets you teleport around simply by moving.

    Also I added scrolls for most of the new spells to stores in the Black Pits 1 and 2, and to various places and stores in Siege of Dragonspear.

    @ArjukKagrim This new version should fix your installation issue. Try it out and tell me if you have any other problems.
