my shield of balduran doesn't reflect back beholders rays. I noticed this problem some time ago but didn't try to find out which mod did it. (since it was the underdark by he time I noticed) And after uninstalling and reinstalling atweaks, aurora, and scs2 and testing each mod, the problem resurfaced with aurora. Oh... it was still around after the aurora 5.1 patch, although I didn't install it yet. It also applies to reflection shield.

Edit: The problem persists on uninstall of aurora, so I'm going to rr my comp and see if it's still there, then I'll uninstall atweaks again.
Edit2: Ok, interestingly the problem persists on uninstall of atweaks as well. That's really strange...
Edit3: The problem was resolved on restart of the computer without atweaks.
Edit4: Ok I can't recreate the problem on reinstall of aurora and atweaks.

Edit5: Ok the problem came up again with aurora and atweaks. However on uninstall of aurora and restarting the computer it doesn't disappear. Someone teach me a better way to test this, I don't want to repeat edit 1-4 again.
Edit6: The bug resolved itself when only atweaks was present. (I didn't reinstall aurora for some time) However since resolution is not immediate upon uninstall or reinstall of aurora, I cannot confirm that aurora is the cause, or if the problem is just intermitten. Moreover on other forums it appears that some people experience it as well and the reason remains unclear. Without the bug (well maybe it would reappear but I don't know) my weidu log looks like this:

Someone teach me a better way to test this, I don't want to repeat edit 1-4 again.

Well, make an install according to the default install order in BWP(and skip the mods you do to wish to install), if you notice the problem in a game that's not random(the shield only has 50% chance to reflect the ray), use this:
--change-log WA2SHIEL.itm
...and if you don't know how to use that, the answer #6 will tell you. It will then give you the backups of the items to the folder of your choice during the logging, so you can use them by putting them one at a time to the override folder.

Well, Aurora makes no changes to the Shield of Balduran, I think I can say that with 99.8% certainty. Well, I should be able to say it with 100% certainty, but that troll bug was pretty weird, so who knows. But this is different, because it's an item, which means it doesn't have attached scripts and I even grepped the game to see if other scripts or spells reference it and found nothing. I also grepped aTweaks quick and found no references to it.

The best way to troubleshoot something like this is to get DLTCEP then search for the item filename by using its Edit > Item > Load Item > Search functionality. It should find it within a couple seconds once you load your game data. It happens to be wa2shiel.itm. So open a command prompt to your game folder (I like CmdHere for XP, because it does this instantly) then type 'weidu --change-log wa2shiel.itm'. It should give you both a change log on screen (you can --out (output) it to a file too if you want) and also a bunch of WA2SHIEL.*.ITM files in your game folder. You can open each of those with DLTCEP to see where it got hosed (the ITM number is like one less or one more than the mod # in the change log - I forget which) or if you can't figure it out, you can attach them here.

On my install, it's changed by BG2 Fixpack, EBG2, Item Revisions and SPStuff, but I don't think you've got any of those (except the fixpack, which I doubt does this, or other folks would've noticed it).

Thanks for your patience miloch and jarno, I think it's a bug in the game, not aurora. It's been reported at other places like:

http://www.gamebansh...uran-81268.html
http://www.sorcerers...ead.php?t=23351
http://forums.biowar...719575&forum=10

I've not been able to consistently recreate it anyway. It's probably just a coincidence it came back when I reinstalled aurora the first time. At first I suspected the disabling animations part of scs 2, but uninstalling that didn't fix it so I pretty much went down the whole list of tweaks. Oh and I used the gamefaqs creature and item lists to get the item filename (wa2shiel.itm) as well as the filename of a hapless beholder. (behold01.cre) The problem occurs at the same time as the one with reflection shield (shld24.itm) which I tested with a hapless archer. (hlarch.cre) --change-log on wa2shiel.itm reveals pretty much as you suspected; it's only touched by the fixpack, and I did remember to turn off uac this time.

From what I read in those posts, it seems to have something to do with the Cloak of Mirroring. But then again, at least one user reported it happening without that, so it could be a vanilla game bug with the opcode, which wouldn't really surprise me. If you could reproduce it without any mods, that would definitely confirm it, but then I understand not wanting to play without such great mods as Aurora and aTweaks :D. Still, it would be something to get to the bottom of such an issue after 6 years or whatever.
