Hello, Insomniator!

From what I understand, you are telling me that we would need to remove the Maximum HP Bonus effect from spells if we use the new flags? And that this would only be possible for the original spells and not the one added by mods? 

And there are other compatibility problems as well regarding the offset for the flags?

Well, I wish I could give you good answers and help but I would have no idea about what to do, really.

Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your investigation. 

Hi Insomniator!

Only recently I learned that the classic BG draining spells do not really work at all the way they are supposed to be. EE uses a series of flags for damage opcode 12 to make spells like Larloch's Minor Drain and Vampiric Touch work properly.

I was wondering if ToBEx AfterLife could add those flags too? I realize that probably I am asking for too much here but I thought it wouldn't hurt.

Thanks!

Thanks. Much appreciated.

One question: does Vampiric Touch really work the way it is described? I mean, the hit points loss from the target is actually transferred to the caster?

If I am not mistaken, the EE engine has introduced flags that would make spells like this and other similar ones (ex. Larloch's Minor Drain) really work as intended. I guess this is not the case for us? 

skellytz,

does BGT by any chance override the game text description of the Detect Evil spell?

A very minor suggestion for an entry in BGT's journal.tra:

My bad.

I missed the fact that two EFF references have been moved.

Sorry about the false alarm.

skellytz,

while checking on the text, I happened to take a look at SW1H03 (the bastard sword Kondar) and I was wondering about two things:

1) It is described as a +1 weapon that is +3 against shapeshifters but when I look at the file's properties I see two .eff (DOPPHIT and LYCANHIT) that add a +2 bonus to THAC0 against 106 and 122. Shouldn't it also add 2 points of damage? In my BG1 installation I see in fact two additional eff. (DOPPDAM and LYCANDAM) that do exactly that.

2) The weapon does not seem to improve THAC0 or inflict any extra damage to every other creatures. Aren't a generic +1 THACO bonus and a generic +1 damage bonus missing here?

Thanks!
