BG1 proficiencies missing?
« on: February 03, 2005, 05:45:34 PM »
So I happened to be looking at Montaron's proficiencies in BG1, as I can't recall what they are without Tutu. Looking in NI:

Large sword proficiency   0   6e h
Small sword proficiency   0   6f h
Bow proficiency   0   70 h
Spears proficiency   0   71 h
Blunt proficiency   0   72 h
Spiked proficiency   0   73 h
Axe proficiency   0   74 h
Missile proficiency   0   75 h

Ghrey says none of the other NPCs appear to have them assigned like this either. So... How are they assigned? Not the same as BG2. And if not by this method, then what're these offsets for?

Also, someone telling me Montaron's proficiencies from the original game would be welcome. :)

  if you don't mean in code, that would be:  small sword (shortsword & dagger) ++, missile weapons (crossbow, dart, sling) ++
  otherwise, sorry for wasting bw.

This is from montar2.cre on a fresh install of BG1+TotSC+Official Patch. No Baldurdash. No Dudleyfixes.

Just checked montar2.cre on my install, and nadda.  Although I have BD installed, but... why the heck would that affect anything?  Do you have TOS, or the 6-CD original?

He probably got Mang0 to import him a foreign copy.

What's the date on your montar2.cre in the override?

TRICK QUESTION. There isn't a montar2.cre in my override.

Humm.  I wonder if Tutu or Dudley does that?

I have a games\bg folder for BG1 that I use for Tutu.  I tried running it to test this theory in-game, but since the baldur.ini is set up to do Tutu stuff, it didn't work.

So I copied it to games\bg1 and restored all my backed up virgin files into that folder.  montar2.cre doesn't exist in override, and in-game he has 2 profs in small swords and missile weapons, as stated above.  He also has 'em in his .cre.

My theory is that when Tutu removes all the NPC's proficiencies because they do in fact show up in BG2 if they exist, it doesn't remove them afterwards.  Mystery... SOLVED.  Go go TeamDing0Fain.

Don't worry Ice, I'll stick with you over this crazy pirate. :)

Should we maybe tell Japh, on the off-chance this is important for something (e.g. someone wanting to play BG1 when they have Tutu)?

Yeh, Tutu shouldn't be leaving stuff behind on the BG1 install. Seriously... check the dates in your override so you can see what's been modified.
