Hello to all and oh, by the way :)

Greetings all!

Finally got my registration for the boards approved and wanted to 1st post. Oh and no, you don't know me, or do you owe me money...hehe

Been playing SoA single player through since the first of December (no ToB yet). Having a blast. I actually Finished BG1 first as a Elf Ranger (Dark Skin with proficancy in Long bow and scimitar - geee a Dark Skined Elf with scimatar...thats never been done before...hehe) restarted BG2 as a Elf Kensai and lovin ever second (finally got the vorpal blade with ring of regen cloak of mirroring, and boots of speed! wooo hehe) But now I have a problem that I really need help on!

I installed to mods; Solafan (sp) and the ease of use mod and then installed the offical BG2 patch (5.something) now, since I enterd the elven city (PLEASSE don't make me have to spell it! hehe) I'm getting constant illegal ops and the game keeps shutting down

sigh,...I know I might have to uninstall mods or whatnot but mabey its some silly thing I did...who knows. Anyway, any help out there please?

Also two questions for anyone who knows. I've read/seen post and info that suggest that there is another mod out there that allows you to duel class/multiclss kits. I know I've seen one or two people post info on thier characers saying there level 20sih assasians level 16 Sorcerers, and such. Anyone mind telling me how this is done please? I'd really like to know. Also speaking of Mods. is there any way to change weapon proficancys? I use Misc 100% (LOVE the dialog) but wouldn't mind playing with his proficanies if possiable. If anyone knows, please let me know. THank you [img]smile.gif[/img]

Look forward to getting to know all

Welcome to Ironworks! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

1. I don't know if this really has anything to say, but the Official patch *must* be installed before any alternate mods. I suggest you uninstall the mods, and then install them again after installing the patch. (May I also suggest the Baldurdash Fixpack?

)

2. I have not heard of a mod which allows Sorcerers, Paladins, etc., to dual or multi. And I don't think one excist either.

Perhaps you've heard about 3rd Edition games, like Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale 2?

3. One word: ShadowKeeper.

Hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I can`t help you with the patch but i can help you about Multi/Dual Classing.
1.)There cannot be no Assasain/Sorcerer only Assasain/Mage.
2.)Multi-Class is for all other races then Human.
3.)Only Humans can Dual-Class.
4.)You can change Minsc`s WP with ShadowKeeper.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,Xen

Shadowkeeper is good save game editor. If you can constrain yourself not to cheat

. I use it to change NPC portraits.
It may be possible to create an assassin/sorcerer/cavalier with SK, you can experiment as much as you wish.

For any character alterations, use Shadow Keeper. Very user friendly on the main things, such as profiencys, inventory alteration, race changes, class/kit changes, exp; etc. etc.

as posted above, you cannot dual-class into kits, nor can you multi-class kits. you can start out human with a kit, but then you have to dual-class into a first edition AD&D rules main class. if you wish to dual that is.

you could always re-install the whole game. just backup your saved games before that, just in case [img]smile.gif[/img] . then install the patch followed by the mods. that way it should work atleast.

The Elven city is spelled Suldanessellar.

You cant be profient in Scimitars alone. In BG1 that is. They go into the category of Large Swords. Did you kill Drizz BTW? You EVIL ranger.(thats who you get the only scimitars from. of course you could have used Gate Keeper, so...) Irrevelant info mainly, merely a pointer [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Jeava · 01-24-2003, 06:34 PM

Thanks for all the great tips!

FINALLY things seem to be working right again! I tried uninstalling all the mods then reinstalling them on top of the patch. The Ease of use mod worked 100%. However, the Solafain (you know the one

) won't. Somewhere somehow there seems to be a zero bit file corrupting the installation and gameplay. I think it has to do with the 25th converstaion file (whatever he is tring to say with that file is actually a zero bit and thus causing the game to crash). After I relesed hiom from my group things seem to work fine now. which is truly unfortunalte with all the work I placed in him

oh well.

The Shadowkeepers mod (Program) worked wonders! And no, I didn't cheat [img]smile.gif[/img] I just re-arranged the proficancies I already had earned [img]smile.gif[/img] I know have Minsc with ** in two handed weapon a five star in Halabard (using the Dragon Breath +4 and or the Wave

changed Jaheria to a four in quarterstaff so she could better use the nature staff I picked up. (Can't remember the actual name but its a +4 quarterstaff with several nice once a days

. Also picked up Valygar and used Shadowkeper to up his Exp so he was comeserate (sp) with the rest of the group. As well as uped poor little Imoens rather pathetic thieving abilites to a more reasonable area. (Most went to the 40-50% range)

Now back to kickin the arse of the underdark [img]smile.gif[/img]

Btw does anyone know what the two empty vials are for? I found them in the guarded complex in the temple district but can't seem to find a use for them.

Thanks again and my the swartz be with ya!

Jeava · 01-24-2003, 06:42 PM

Oh btw I forgot one question! heehe

I want to try this weekend to do a multiplayer game. However i know zero about this game norms in that area. I've played Everquest, Rainbow SIx (as well as other FPS's) online for quite some time, so I know the ins and outs of MP gaming, so really what I need to know arn't so much the technicals (although I must admit that BG's multiplayer option looks daunting) but what if any are the "norms and practices"? I mean by this are there any rules of edequtte that most people know and adhear to (i.e in some first person shooters "camping" is very much frowned upon) that I should know of in advance? Thanks again!

Sever · 01-25-2003, 01:35 AM

I'm not big on MP, but the only rules i know of are powergaming vs roleplaying and the use of cheezy items. Both of these aspects should be agreed upon with whomever your playing before you start.

Vedran · 01-25-2003, 02:32 PM

Empty vials are useless. Toss them.
