It is 0 for disabled and 1 for enabled to modify the Backstab every hit effect opcode (#303)

Then you modify the type field of this opcode in your item/spell (like the thief HLA) using it, based on values found TobEx_ini.txt. 1 is the regular behaviour, TobEx adds the 3 others.

Well 0 makes it not work at all (requires regular backstab conditions) so maybe that was the regular behaviour too. 3 and 4 are 100% added by TobEx.

Thank you;

Ok I have added the opcode to my weapon with near infinity but where exactly should I modify the value to 4 ?

I have :

Type : Backstaab every hit (303)
Targettype : Unknow (0)
Power : 0
Unknown : 00 00 00 00 h
Must be 1? : 0 (very strange field ?)
duration : instant/limited (0)
dispel/resistance : No dispel/bypass resistance
Time : 0
probability 1 : 0
probability 2 : 0
UNknow : 00 0 0 00 00 0 0 h
etc...

Sorry I am not familiar with opcode, can you tell me if the values or correct and where I should modify something coz I have made some tests but nothing works

You might wanna grab the latest NI. Here's what I get when looking up Assassination HLA (SPCL916) from vanilla BG2:ToB



It's the stat value you want to change.

Of course make the target Self, probability 100 and the timing Instant/While equipped if you want it for an equipped ability up all the time. Duration 0 also (doesn't matter I think for While equipped timing anyway)

It's works very well. Thank you Beleg

I have no idea how to make build 0.25.7.18. Do you have one allready made?

[Ascension64]

Wait for one of the public test releases. One is coming soon. I have made further changes that are yet to be pushed to the repository.

[dannyb1166]

Ok. Thanks

[Daulmakan]

Love the genuine attacks addition, thanks.

With latest beta, stoneskin/ironskin seems to block all spell damage attacks as well as regular attacks.

[Ascension64]

Thanks for the find, I had some bad logic when I reversed the saving throw code. Should be fixed now.

May I ask what "-Added: Clone Creature Fix" is? I looked into the readme with no success.

-----1580 Clone Creature Fix [F]
Fixed a bug where a character who transitions between areas can cause a hostile creature chasing them through the area transition to clone

[Ascension64]

From TobEx reference HTML

TobEx also fixes a bug where creatures chasing targets through an area transition can be cloned because the creature was not removed from the previous area.

[Ascension64]

The TobEx reference often doesn't have exact correlates to the names listed in the TobEx_ini.txt or changelog to make it more readable, so it can be a little harder to find things.

1) Many many thanks for the DIFFMOD change.

2) Can you expand on this rather gnomic note?

TobEx optimises the code used for setting and finding variables. The variable map hash function uses the djb2 algorithm.

3) I take it you'd still advise only the official (albeit beta) releases to be included in released mods, so I should hold off including this version for now?

Not to put words in Asc64 mouth, but it's probably the hashmap/table optimization for globals that was discussed a while ago (proudly think i was the first one to suggest a hashcode collision - my comp sci degree was not wasted finally)

[Son of Imoen]

Oops, I think this was the problem...

creTarget.cdsCurrent.stateFlags &= STATE_POISONED;

Which cleared the STATE_DEAD flag. Should have been |=
There was a similar typo in the disease fix actually if the Slow effect was applied.

I encountered this poison bug in my install of an already heavily modded game, so updating ToBEX is not really an option. Is there any way I can correct that typo myself in my current install? In what file can I find the faulty line and how do I edit it?

Thanks.

1) Many many thanks for the DIFFMOD change.

I also discovered that the EASIEST difficulty also gives all party characters a +6 bonus to luck. I will externalise this too.

TobEx optimises the code used for setting and finding variables. The variable map hash function uses the djb2 algorithm.

You can google the djb2 algorithm. It just uses a better method of calculating the hash for each variable name and increases the number of buckets available before things get full a bit earlier, which reduces the amount of overhead, particularly when there are too many variables. There is a topic I think here where Suslik did most of the work.

3) I take it you'd still advise only the official (albeit beta) releases to be included in released mods, so I should hold off including this version for now?

We are getting to an official release. I need confirmation that I haven't broken anything, which is usually based on time.

You can chuck the most recent test release TobEx.dll in to your install directory. You computer might explode though... j/k

Thanks for the heads up.
