Maybe another bug - or it may be just me (or rather, my install);

I levelled up my paladin and chose Holy Aura, but there doesn't appear to be any change - the screenshot on the Refinements site shows a visual effect, and examining the Holy Aura 'spell' in DLTCEP shows that it fires of a secondary spell every 6 seconds that grants the bonus, displays a 3D effect, and displays a portrait icon - and I'm definately not seeing the latter two.

I've examined my saved game in Shadowkeeper, and the 'primary' effect (the one that fires of the secondary spell) appears to be there, so I don't know whats heppening (or rather, not happening).

Probably just an install / run-time problem.

Yeah, iplot*.itm are corrupt item files in the biffs. Mods that use item regexp patching account for these (i.e. UB, G3 Tweaks, etc.) which is why you're seeing the problem disappear when installing UB prior to Refinements.

Hey folks! You could just register to FW's forums and send private messages to eachother, it would barely take a minute of your time. I do think that discussion on this forum should be kept in english. However you are free to use any language in your PMs (as long as the other end understands it of course ).

BTW, is it Polish?

But I think it would be better if you exlude these files from patching. No modding newbie would able to install your mod.

Yes, that was my point. You can either substitute dummy files in their place (UB's approach) or exclude malformed files from patches (G3T).

But I think it is not good idea to expect that common players are able to find where their trouble lies.
It would be better if BG2Ref repair these files itself or ignores their absence.

We added a repairing, so that further mods won't break anymore.

I expect modders to fix bugs found in their mods. I am not advocating that Refinements ignore this.

Let me rephrase what I said:

 ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~override/iplot01k.itm~
    THEN BEGIN
      COPY_EXISTING ~SW1H01.itm~ ~override/iplot01k.itm~
    END
  ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~override/iplot04g.itm~
    THEN BEGIN
      COPY_EXISTING ~SW1H01.itm~ ~override/iplot04g.itm~
    END
  ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~override/iplot04h.itm~
    THEN BEGIN

This is part of UB mod, isn't it? Have you included it to your mod?
And what about Sword Angel?

It's not part of UB, it's a small fix of a bug. Actually, I ripped that from V1 ofG3Tweaks (not UB) last June for what was Mazzy the Paladin, then added it as a costand fix in all of my mods, and then exported it here.

Well, something similar is also in UB but it doesn't matter.
And what about bug in Sword Angel?
