The Detectable Spells library version used by QP performs a clean-up operation on STATS.IDS that removes all duplicate entries. This causes compatibility issues with other mods because some entries have intentionally duplicate definitions in the EE games (same numeric value, different symbolic names). Some mods use these alternate symbolic names in their scripts and may fail to install if they are not found.

The problematic code can be found in the macro "reorder_stats_ids" in questpack/tp2/ds/ds.tph.

I noticed this one only now.

Couldn't the mod be updated with a newer DS library that is compatible with both the classic and the EE games?

Yes it could. Only 2 files need to be updated : ds.tpa and ds.tph from newer version of SCS.

Maybe a kind soul... :pirate
