    Ummm, put in the 'stones to head, multi tools-&-bard slot' protos.tab (from here, not from other thread with extra weapons) and it loads and plays fine - been using it since u put it up in various incarnations - but today I started a new party (CN) and in the opening vignette where u have to hack a chest, i failed, checked my dice rolls and found i was getting minus 2 for not having tools eqipped. I checked, sure enough there were my starting tools, in the new slot, i took em out, stuck em back in - went in the new slot, refused to go in old slot, all good - picked locks again, and dice rolls were again at -2.

    Bugger.

    I've had a look again at protos.tab and tested, your right, it say's no thieves tools, trid adding usableitem - no help, Icould add a circumstance bonus to remove the penalty, would that be ok? It seems to only check for thieves tools in the original slot.

    Ok that is that fixed, but now the breakdown shows -2 penalty due to no thieves tools and +2 bonus due to thieves tools, but I can live with that.

    and is there a +4 for masterwork theives tools?

    btw, I use the no CD exe. I don't know if that makes a change.

    In fact, I haven't reinstalled the game since 4 formats ago. (game is on drive E, windows is on drive C. I formatted drive C and reinstalled windows). With the fixed exe I just make a shortcut and run it. No more installing... I don't think I have even seen the disk in a year.

    I'm such a n00b

    What do i do Allyx? Just reload the file from the previous page? And how does it differ from the one on the thread with the new cleric weapons? Cause i would like to give those a try, but didn't see them in the protos.tab from this thread.

    Yes, +4 for masterwork thieves tools

    Which no-cd are you using? I've tried all three but get CTD's when looting Lubash or the spider tower chest at the moathouse - I don't think it's due to my files but could you give me some feedback on this one please?

    Yeah that one should work fine (although thinking about it I forgot the description.mes files again - d'oh) I' add those now but they're also in the cleric weapons files.

    On second thought I think I'll pull both downloads, and stick 'em in a new thread - this dual threading bussiness is tricky stuff.
