In BG2EE we used specific a lot for factions. This leaves little room for spell states as you would overwrite the faction value.  

Btw, it is perfectly legit to use specifics with effects, except you must be aware their current use in AI scripting.

iwdee uses this opcode extensively. Do you mean all those spells are buggy?

What prefix you use when you add them to the 2da?

spells.2da can raise the limit of 50.

hidespl.2da can further tweak what's available through normal means (during chargen).

The Add Innate Ability has limitations, but it is useful indeed.

it is area flag 0x4 that makes a projectile 'explode on trigger' - aka trap.

For everything else, you need to restart the projectile in the area script's OnCreation

there is one such projectile in SoD, where the myconid explodes (it is a permanent cloud projectile that allows saving). 

tutor is probably set to have a minhp.

level 1 PC's with less than 15 hp are impossible to single hit kill. (this is actually a vanilla feature, not EE)

Aoe projectiles that go full aoe on trigger (aka traps) are saved in EE, and don't block saves.

All other AOE (clouds and such) block saves.

In old IE BG2 they are hardcoded.

I'm fairly sure i already wrote this somewhere.

There are tons of useful macros shipped with weidu. So don't miss the macro section.

Yes, it is possible to add new misc itemtypes, Iesdp describes these files.

itemtype.2da

all colors >=200 are randomized via randcolr.2da

How saved games get corrupted by installing a mod. You should be ok by reinstalling everything in the same order it was while doing the saved games.

Mod installs are not supposed to change the saved games.

study icewind style spawn ini's as well (all EE games support that).  Using a number of potential spawn points and wandering critters can make it seem entirely random.

Yes, there is a limit, 8.

It is because the visibility map has only 8 bits allocated for this. Each 'explorer' creature sets a separate bit of the visibility map, and there are no more free bits.

At the very least there should be switch somewhere within .pro file to tell engine to use .bam with S to W or S to SW coverage, and I don't see it.

There is a field in .pro files at 0x0133. It tells you how many cycles the .bam have. If it is 5, or 9, then it will be mirrored to fill up all 16 orientations.

It is autoplayed by removal of stoneskins too. And a few decrementing immunity opcodes.

It is probably a stereo vs mono thingie. (You play mono samples in stereo, thus going double speed).

There is a working .vef example in most of the EE games 'spcomex.vef'.  it is used by comet.pro 

You can use .vef in place of vvc's most of the time.

"But this doesn't explain where hand-made saves would go, what numbers they would have for this table."

That's true, this table is to give name for various hardcoded saves. It has nothing to do with hand-made saves.

"Or don't values above 18 work?" - Correct, they don't work if used as parameter SaveGame(). Actually, they might do something funny, feel free to explore the possibilities.

The numbers in the first column of the .2da are not the same numbers as the zero padded numbers in the saved game name.

You sentence 'What if I make the game save under 20? Is that going to overwrite anything?' therefore is semantically incorrect.

Yeah, that's something temnix would use, i wouldn't recommend, then he would take offense

Lets say we are through those exchanges.

If i recall correctly, the original engine saved only certain projectiles.

The EE saves all AOE projectiles with the 'explode on trigger' flag set.

You can have 9 rows.

It is 2d10 for the equipment/magic/treasure tables (expect a bell curve).

For scrolls/weapons it is 1d20.

For the iwd treasure table, it is as many as the column count.

So the column count is fixed, but i think you can have extra rows.

Imp is correct again There are lots of actions with aliases, this was used even by the vanilla game, weidu can handle it too.

With the EE, we added a few 'enhancements' to old actions, but we kept the old syntax around so dialogs which use script source won't be broken.

And does this one actually work? There are stats that can't be changed.

As far as i know, it works for the xp worth stat and that was the question.
