[BG2] Minsc and Charm Animal

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.baldurs-gate (More info?)

Minsc's charm animal special ability is now acting strange - when
I click the icon instead of then having to click on the target it just
automatically attempts to charm the animal , and not only on the
nearest animal but all that are in the general area. For example, I
had Minsc try to charm the winter wolf near the beastmaster and
not only was the wolf charmed without ever having to target it but
many of the creatures nearer the beastmaster were as well.

Anyone have a fix for this?

It's not a bug. It's the Altered Spells component of the Oversight mod,
and it's documented in the ReadMe. If you want the weaker version of
the spell, uninstall that component.

Thanks.

I guess I blazed through that while re-installing things.

Man, that's a powered-up version of it!

I can't!

I 'uninstall' Altered Spells and the Holy Lib kit, and see a visual
confirmation of the files being removed, but nothing is actually
removed - the Holy Lib kit is still an in-game available option and
Minsc still automatically charms every animal in and out of sight.

Is the uninstaller program a distinct component of all weidu mods
or is it a separate program? It's seems strange that I'd have a problem
with the uninstaller of both virtue and oversight though if they both
simply point to to the same program it's less perplexing.

When I run the exe it lists both Holy Lib and Altered Spells as options
that are not installed - but they are installed.
