Sword Coast Stratagems is now available for BG:EE and BGII:EE

The newest version of my mod "Sword Coast Stratagems", version 25, is now out and ought to be a bit improvement on previous versions for BG:EE in terms of stability and ease of install. It should be compatible with version 1.2 of BG:EE and (with any luck) with BG2:EE when it comes out later this week. The new version fixes a host of bugs large and small (though mostly not with BG:EE, as it happens) and (with some trepidation) I'm declaring it non-beta, though realistically it's still beta for BG2:EE.

You can download it from http://www.gibberlings3.net/scs

Edit: after two fast updates in response to problems identified with BG2:EE installs, we're now on v27. I've had to disable the "Improved Vampires" component on BG2:EE installs for the moment: some kind of animation bug is causing crashes and I don't immediately have time to sort it out. (If you have installed that component, I recommend uninstalling it.)

Edit: version 29 now out. Many thanks for Mad Mate and others for the unofficial Fixpack they produced last year; fixes from that are now incorporated into v29.

    That's really great. Thanks a lot for all your work !

    I was about to report some bugs but you fixed them now. Only two things i experienced in v 24 with BGEE 1.2 don't seem to be fixed in v25:
    - Improved Mulahey is still buggy
    - "NPC go to Inns" and "NPC pairs" components didn't work for me (NPC acted like in vanilla in my game) though it may be related to a conflict in my installation.

    Anyway, now it seems SCS is really stable, and only a few minor bugs are left. Thank you again !

    MUlahey is *still* buggy? Sigh... Will chase.

    Well, i speak for v24. He was buggy in it, with its infinite waves of kobolds.

    Didn't saw him in v25 yet, but i didn't see it mentionned in the bugfix list. Sorry if i wasn't clear enough.

    Reduced reputation increase doesn't seem to work for me. I choose 1/4 and get all the points.

    Can reproduce. There's a typo that's preventing that particular choice (1/4) from working. 1/3 should be fine. Will fix shortly.

    No idea, sorry. I don't have Steam.

    Wow, I can't wait to test this new version! Most anticiped update! Besides the BG:EE one, of course ;) !

    AFAIK Steam version should be the same as other versions, you just have to find the folder where the game is stored.

    I have found small bug. When you dismiss one NPC from pair and order him to wait in inn, the other is lost. For instance i kicked out Khalid, so with moved away Jaheira. But i could order to wait only Khalid and only Khalid was in inn. Jaheira dispeared.

    For Steam version, extract the file to the main BG install folder, mine is:

    D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition

    Then run the stratagems-v25 file. Install it to the same address as above (whatever yours is).

    The DOS looking installer (Weidu I think it is) thing will pop up and just go through all the options.

    Ugh, looks as if I broke something when I sorted out languages. Tell me what game you're installing on?

    Does this mod improve the Black Pits AI? I'm playing through on the game right now and am really enjoying the changes. I'm hoping I can get some surprises in the fights in Black Pits!
