I’m thrilled to death to have the new SCS but the Master of
Thralls now does some kind of opening ray attack which causes my
game to crash... this sort of game-stop is typical when an expected file
is missing so has anyone else encountered this particular block?

Not been to the Planar Prison yet. But i now have a problem with Beholders. The game crashes whenever a Beholder starts using his eye rays. I'm not sure whether this has anything to do with SCS, though. My game is heavily modded, so there might be any number of reasons.

ussnorway: There is an official SCS2 forum somewhere, where DavidW himself answers any questions regarding SCS(2), it might be better to ask there since we can only guess here. And my guess would be like you said, a file is missing. But as far as i read, he didnt change this battle soo either your installation is faulty, or he accidently deleted file from the latest installation ( which i kind of doubt due to almoast god-like abilities of him - judging by the amount of joy he brought BG comunity )
ps: if you only knew how jellous i am....i barely have time to type on this forum....what i would give for a free year to play BG2 again.

1. I don’t believe this is only a SCS issue because (assumed) their playtested mod would show up a missing file strait away.

2. IMO it’s much more likely to be a conflict between SCS & another mod eg. My “de'Arnise Romance” could have changed a gaze attack file which SCS wants to also use... I’m just asking if others are seeing this issues to save me debugging time.

p.s. It helps when you spend time coding at work... play time is for the home after all.

Are you using the G3 fixpack? If so the bug is with the special version of Vampiric Touch the demon casts - it can happen if you install the fixpack in a certain order, and then re-install other things (specifically SPIN997A.spl is set to trigger itself, which causes an infinite loop and CTD).

For now, just delete SPIN997.spl from your overide which will restore the (slightly bugged, but not crash-inducing) vanilla game version; in future it's best to do a complete reinstall of mods (tiresome though that is).

1. I’ve moved on and managed to kill him without triggering his scripting but FYI removing the file does solve the lock up... thanks.

2. Yes G3 fixpack is installed & I always do complete un/ re-install of mods as a matter of course (for this type of reason) but didn’t encounter this bug in Ormalines run... are there other encounters that use the SPIN997.spl & if so then do you happen to know what spell should it trigger?

This is wildly optimistic about my competence. I am quite capable of accidentally deleting something crucial, and while I do test things, I don't have the resources to do a systematic playthrough test every time I release an update.

(But in this case it sounds like a Fixpack oddity?)

Hi there. * bows *
As far as i am concerned, the more bugs we find, the better, even if some of them are nothing more then an accidently deleted file. Thats what keeps me going, soo that when i finaly do fix all the things in my college and get some time to play bg2....i will be able to say....SCS2 is soo much better now in 2013 ( or 2014, or god help me, 2015 ?? ) then it was in 2012 soo it was worth waiting, look, soo many new challanges, soo many fixes, less bugs.....Btw tnx for making SCS2, its really an awesome mod.
