Bard song bug

Bruce Lee · Post by **Bruce Lee** » Fri May 31, 2002 5:19 pm

I was trying to make my summons more effective using my Skald. They were more effective when I used the normal Skald song but after picking enhanced bard song(which is a really good song) my summons don't benefit anymore, only party members. This must be a bug since the description says allies. Is there a fix for this? Or was it intended?

I don't know if it was intended to work this way, or not. Hm, I might be making a fix for this one, too.

Could you please. I have tried to fix it but I cannot.
I cannot find the Skald song and compare either but I am sure that the song was meant to include any summons you have fighting for you.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or why it doesn't give bonuses to summons?

Not really sure if this will fix the problem - since I'm not really sure what the exact problem is. But I've changed all of the settings in the Enchanted Bard Song to how it is in the normal Skald's song. Unzip and put the files into the Override folder.

Thanks Sabre. However the fix you made seems to only effect the bard who is singing.
I tried changing around the enhanced bard song to include summons aswell as party members but couldn't do it. Where did you find the Skald song? Which is the file for that?

The Skald's song was SPCL542.SPL, the actual effect is in the file SPCL542A.SPL.

Sabre.
Where did you find those files ending with an a? I have browsed through spells and innate abilities with SK and haven't come across them. I have also searched through my computer.
I see the reference to these files in the spell files but I canät find them.

I mainly use Infinity Explorer when I'm looking for something, but are you sure it doesn't appear in Shadow Keeper? Because I'm looking at it right now in the Spell Browser - it is classified as Innate, Level 0, <No Name>, with SPCL542A as the Resource. Just click on the Resource button above the list to sort everything by the Resource reference, and then scroll down to SPCL542A.

Okay found it thanks!

Okay been looking at it a little now and the difference as far as I can see is that the enhanced bard song as the party as target and the skald song has pre-target as target. Now I know that the skald song has some sort of range but where that comes from i can not see. Also I dont understand how that pre-target works, it is not like you are targetting anyone when singing. However the skald song effects party members and summons withing a certain range but the enhanced bard song only effects party members reagardless of range.
I guess I will have to be content with the way it is working right now, unless someone can come up with a fix. I for one cannot.
