What you find here

The Sandrah mod has been posted for testing in this forum some months back. Even if still bugged and further enhanced it has found its way into BWP and BWS (with the respective labels to use with caution), Taking this into account, the introduction of a new and improved version of the mod is no longer trivial for those who used BWP/BWS as it would require a large re-install. I have therefore decided to publish new versions at a much larger interval and with a large collection of improvement in any version.

Still some things can be fixed for those having started a game including Sandrah to improve their experience and easy to install with a hotfix.

Each fix can be installed at any time to a game without the need to un/re-install anything. Some fixes only show effect if you have not yet reached the area/plot it affects (i.e.they do not work on savegames).

 

Please

Any issues you find in the game and think there is a need to be fixed, continue to report them in her test forum :http://www.shsforums...le-for-testing/

This page here is intended to publish the solutions.

 

How it Works

Each hotfix is a rar-file that you simply extract to your game folder (just like any mod). Afterwards start the respective SandrahHFxx-Setup.exe. That's all. Baseline for all fixes is V1.06 of the mod, even if they may also work with earlier versions.

 

Fixes for v1.06b

 

HF01

This fix prevents Sandrah or Jen'lig from leaving your party without warning if your reputation is too low or too high, respectively.

YOU DO NOT NEED THIS FIX IF YOU HAVE

3120 1] NPCs are never angry about reputation or
3121 2] NPCs can be angry about reputation but never leave (Salk) or

The *happy patch* or

any similar feature already installed in the game

[attachment=28146:SandrahHF01.rar]

 

HF02

This fix prevents Sandrah's items to appear more than once in the game when she drops stuff because of *Inventory Full* condition

[attachment=28147:SandrahHF02.rar]

 

HF03

This fix makes the duergar at Friendly Arm area compatible with some creature revision mods.

[attachment=28148:SandrahHF03.rar]

 

HF04

This fix allows you to chose an evil PC and still be able to have Sandrah join you. If you install this, make sure you also install HF01. Still, even if your character is evil (by race or profession etc) it does not mean you can turn into the Slayer of the Sword Coast before her eyes. You are not a shining paladin but you are also no mass murderer. Have Imoen in the party for some extra contents.

Note: this is just the technical preview of a larger change to come with the next release. I will add some dialogue and quest that has Sandrah to react to an evil PC differently than to others.

[attachment=28149:SandrahHF04.rar]

 

HF05

During the recent test phase, Sandrah's personal items have been tuned and changed. However, their description and the character icon display has not been updated. This is corrected by this fix. (During extraction you are asked to accept overwriting files, say yes to all).

[attachment=28156:SandrahHF05.rar]

 

HF06

When using Sandrah's new spell to visit Waterdeep during SoA, situations may arise that block the return spell. See here http://www.shsforums.../#entry579267  for details. This fix adds a PID dialogue option while in Sandrah's Garden to return nevertheless.

[attachment=28161:SandrahHF06.rar]

 

HF07

Correction of some Drizzt/Sandrah Banters in RoT, file names corrected. Only needed if you do not play the Drizzt Saga with Sandrah in BG1.

[attachment=28162:SandrahHF07.rar]

 

HF08

Improved Joia dance ring mini quest.

[attachment=28172:SandrahHF08.rar]

 

HF09

Fix for technical incompability with "Turnaround" mod and Nephele ToB problem. If those two mods are installed a problem with the final ToB Solar dialogue may appear. In any other aspect both mods are compatible with Sandrah.

[attachment=28186:SandrahHF09.rar]

 

HF10

Fix for access dialogues to Undermountain in ToB. Original dialogues did not trigger due to false weight.

[attachment=28178:SandrahHF10.rar]

 

HF11

Possible missing item in final Legencase quest fix.

To install simply copy these two files into override:

[attachment=28183:CMMISC03.ITM]

[attachment=28184:IMISC6G.BAM]

 

HF12

Resolves a random issue in the ToB/RtF transition that lets you end at Frienly Arm.  (Note: there remains still an Issue if you have Longer Road AND Turnaround installed AND Irenicus is in your final party when Melissan is defeated. This can only be resolved by a manual input of a global if it appears - will be finally solved in v1.07)

[attachment=28188:SandrahHF12.rar]

 

HF13

De-assigned default script from Quilandrah. She had script BPWTSIGT assigned, however that script is tweaked by too many mods and may result in unexpected behaviour from her depending on individual constellation of mods.

[attachment=28192:SandrahHF13.rar]

 

HF14

Corrected mistake that made Alzaligrundel hostile immediately when Strategems option 6830 Smarter Abazigal: v30 is installed. The negotiation option did not appear as designed.

Only needed if you have that SCS option in your game.

[attachment=28216:SandrahHF14.rar]

 

HF15

Improved trigger in Gullykin orc cave for Rellruck. Check for loot in wagon or kill enough orcs to trigger his appearance.

[attachment=28251:SandrahHF15.rar]

 

HF16

Trigger added for Jen'lig vs Tazok encounter in case of direct Bandit Camp attack by party.

[attachment=28277:SandrahHF16.rar]

 

HF17

Add more NPC options for ToB to RtF transition and remove stutter at RtF start sequence,.

[attachment=28304:SandrahHF17.rar]

 

Version 1.07 is now available

It contains all the fixes above plus additional contents. Further hotfixes are provided for the new baseline but may be backwards compatible with v1.06.

Bloomwhiffler Shop Fix, fixes the 1GP prices for tooms at Waterdeep
[attachment=28339:SandrahHF26.rar]

 

HF27

Cursed Wound fix (for SCS, only needed if SCS is installed)

SCS introduces a spell causing cursed wounds which cannot be healed or cured by applicable spells nor can the *curse* be detected and removed by priests. The only way to heal a creature afflicted is by killing and raising from death again (in case of PC not even that is possible). Due to her healer abilities and combat scripts, Sandrah will permanently attempt to heal comrades and animal companions as she cannot detect the curse - this makes her unuseable and causes stuttering.

The fix is not a permanent solution to the SCS dilemma but hopefully makes the mod playable for those who have both mods installed. I hope SCS authors will fix the spell or at least make it an optional component in the future.

[attachment=28340:SandrahHF27.rar]

 

HF28

Sandrah healing attempts vs protagonist protected from magic. More detail about the issue is here

http://www.shsforums...-32#entry581266

If you have SCS installed, you should as well install HF27.

The SHS download function appears to be permanently unavailable. The Sandrah mod has been moved to Github instead. This database allows to upload (push) any tested improvement to the mod without the need to upload a new version each time. This function will be used now to fix and update the mod, Anyone requiring a hotfix for a problem may address that directly but I will no longer post them here without such request. The mod download page will be kept up-to-date instead.

 

The Github database has been updated and the following changes have been included to SandrahNPC. This contents is included in any download of the mod from now on.

 

New Contents
- Imoen can be selected as thief, mage, or mage/thief prior leaving Candlekeep. Both mage options will provide extensive new content with Sandrah (who serves the goddess of all magic) and three new epic quests for the Sandrah/Imoen team during BG1. Thief only will leave Imoen untouched (per default she will be thief) and have only some minimal Sandrah/Imoen interaction (Sandrah stays cold to thieves due to her family relation with Cyric).
- Adrian crossmod added
- Aran Whitehand crossmod added

Improvements
- Sandrah's use of healing scrolls improved - inventory overflow for Sandrah minimised - scrolls in bags of holding/scroll cases problem eliminated.
- Item descriptions and dialogues improved
- Battle in orc prison slightly improved

Fixes
- Haiass multiple spawning at Friendly Arm fixed
- Chloe/Imoen joining problem fixed
- Several fixes for Sandrah in Drizzt Saga BG1
- Henning possibility to go hostile eliminated (hardened against SCS call for help issues)
