Strange (Auril's Bane-Related?) Bugs

    Just finished the game again, and am staring out into HoW. Fun as always. I have the following mods installed:

    - All official patches, including TotL
    - Auril's Bane v.TotL
    - Gibberlings 3 Tweak Pack v.4
    - Tioma's Ease of Use pack

    Thoughout the game, I experienced some strange (if somewhat inconsequensial) bugs that...um...bugged me:

    1. Could not kill Beilifet. Well, once I killed him (would get experience and see his death animation) the screen would go black for about 10 seconds (at which point we usually see the ending cinematic) and then the battle started up again, this time with Belifat at "almost dead." However, the prick won't die! I sat there for another 5 minutes casting every spell and unloading 160 arrows of piercing (my entire supply) into him, with all of them hitting for 10-18 damage(my archer rules), and he simply wouldn't die. It wasn't a big deal because the game counted my party as having won the game and I could move on to HoW anyway, but still - wierd.

    2. Quarterstaves and other weapons show up as a blank bam icon, with the word "Beetle" in the description. In the case of my fighter2/Druid X, I had a quarterstaff in the quick weapon slot when I installed most of these mods (I'd just barely created the party), so I had to spend the rest of the game with a big-bad melee character with only one weapon slot. Also, sometimes messing with these "beetle" items would crash the game.

    3. Some of the new spells added by (I think) Auril's Bane were unlearnable. I got my Illusionist/Thief up to 23 INT with a potion of genius and I STILL failed to copy it into my spell book every try for about 20 tries. Gawdfrey.

    If any of you have experienced these, tell me - do I have more bugs to look forward to when I get to HoW?

    Auril's Bane and Ease-of-Use are incompatible. That is most liekly what's causing your problems.

    Aha! Well, there you have it. I'll do a full re-install before playing again.

    Thanks, Grog™ - you're much nicer than Grog®, but only slightly more helpful than Grog©.

    :p

    Hmm, so that is what caused those strange beetle items... I just finished the campaign as well with the same mods and was wondering about that. I didnt have the spell learning bug, however i had some spells that, although they stated they were arcane, were simply unscribable for my generalist mage. At least i know its cause now :)

    That is a problem with tenser's giant strength. It's because the level is wrong and it's classified as a priest spell.

    That mod won't work without HoF and/or ToLM?

    Such a pity... :cry:

    ^But I have neither ToTL, nor HoW.

    So I can'T get my hands on this 'cool' and only real mod for IWD?

    What say you? Do I HAVE to have the expansions to install this mod? I understand 'yes' but I am still asking you as a last hope. :wail:
