Topics I've Started

The Icewind Dale II Fixpack updates to v7!

29 January 2023 - 07:36 AM

This is the new update topic!

 

The new version contains the following fixes:

 

  • Mooncalf's shield and Tabard's shield now appear as large shields on the character. [KC]
  • The Winged Blight greatsword's description has been matched to its effect. [KC]
  • The Footman's Folly shield's description has been adjusted to list 5% spell failure chance. [KC]
  • The Wandering Sky greatsword's description now mentions recharging afer resting. [KC]
  • The cleric of Selune's Moon shield spell has been fixed to not stack with itself. [KC]
  • Great White Wyrm's Maw has been fixed to pause the caster when using the cone of cold breath ability. [KC]
  • Renamed the ATTSTYL.IDS to ATTSTYLE.IDS, fixing multiple scripts.
  • Fixed multiple instances of erroneous class masks in the MarkSpellAndObject() action.
  • A large number of armors have been adjusted to no longer disable Arcane spells.
  • Smaller number of armors had their categories match the listed type.

Additionally, a minor typo in the fix for Pudu's Blight has been fixed.


Itinerary, the Fixpack's future, and YOU!

Hello, everyone! I got my own subforum in here to post about the Fixpack. I don't really know how to make things properly so here are the sections I'd like to tackle in this thread:

 

Itinerary

 

1. Go through this sheet lynx provided: http://lynxlynx.info...iwd2-armors.ods

 

2. Comb through the "Enhanced Edition" to find some of the "good stuff" (it's a great mod! just not really the experience i'd like a fixpack to provide!)

 

3. investigate the surprisingly common bug where like half of scripts in dragon's eye level 4 don't fire

 

4. https://sorcerers.ne...chnical_faq.php i forgot the mandragora bug. what was i doing?

 

The future

 

I cannot use my daily computer to mod IWD2, since, well, no 32-bit apps are allowed on macOS anymore. But I hope for pauses between new versions to be less like the pause between v4 and v5.

 

YOU

 

Got a bug? Even if it's only half-remembered? Go ahead! Post a thread! I'd love to investigate, it's just that IwD2 is not much talked about and google is kind of garbage now!
