Scribe scrolls doesn't offer to scribe Remove Magic (SPWI302), a vanilla game spell.

You sure on this?

Sure, in an unmodded BG2 installation you've got Dispel Magic, which removes protections from everyone, and then you've got Remove Magic, the party friendly version.

Remove Magic should be there. It's called WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC internally, but it's there (Dispel Magic is called WIZARD_TRUE_DISPEL_MAGIC).

And that's the problem. I just had a look at RR#SCRL.dlg in DLTCEP:
Remove Magic - Condition = HaveSpell(WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC)
Dispel Magic - Condition = HaveSpell(WIZARD_DISPEL_MAGIC)

After changing the latter to WIZARD_TRUE_DISPEL_MAGIC I still couldn't scribe remove magic. A look into spell.ids cleared it up for my custom BWP installation: Remove Magic is WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC in my spell.ids.

I guess that this will happen to a lot people with megamod installations, if they start to use scribe scrolls on a regular basis.

Here is my change-log of spell.ids:

Would it be possible/feasible to read the vanilla game spells dynamically from spell.ids and write those values in the tp2 in corresponding condition and action fields?

I can change the component to use the integer instead of the ids label. That'll bypass all issues like this. But it's a fair amount of tedious work so it'll probably take a while (even if I wasn't strapped for time). (Especially since someone thought it'd be a good idea to screw around with the ids labels for no reason.)

rr#scrl.d & rr#alch.d - 'TakePartyGold()' doesn't destroy it, so should the character be kicked out and accepted back into party you'll get all the cash back.

REPLACE_EVALUATE ~TakePartyGold(\([0-9]+\))~ BEGIN END ~TakePartyGold(%MATCH1%) DestroyGold(%MATCH1%)~

Will fix. Thanks.

Wisp-
I have a few custom mage kits. I'm writing a snippet to detect if the scribe scrolls tweak is already installed, and if so to modify my mage kit 2das accordingly.

Will adding "AP_rr#gscrl" to custom kit 2DAs @ 9th level column be sufficient to take advantage of scribe scrolls tweak for custom mage kits?

Thanks!

It will provided the character's class is mage or one of the mage combinations. But I'll make Scribe Scrolls treat mod-added kits (by checking kitlist.2da) instead. For one thing it'll be easier on installation orders that way.

My party finally arrived in Amn in the aforementioned custom BWP game. Imoen (Swashbuckler 10 -> Mage 14) rejoins my party and gets another use of scribe scrolls, she's now at three of them. One by virtue of being a mage of at least level 9, another from regaining her swashbuckler abilities, and the final use of scribe scrolls now in chateau irenicus.

I'll include something in the next version to keep the spell from being applied more than once. It'll probably not be CTRL+R-proof, though.

[10th]

Just to add another bit of information:
It isn't restricted to dual-classed characters who regain their class abilities. Everytime you kick out a <lvl9 mage character, and then let him rejoin your party, this character gains another use of scribe scrolls.

But besides those minor quirks, this component is probably the best thing that anyone could wish for.
