Question regarding SI-Fixes spell system

[SirJohn]

I hope, someone here can shed some light. I am aware that the (somewhat broken) spell system in SI has been fixed in SI Fixes mod. I just don't get "how".

While the "magic_scroll_xth.shp" seem to be numbered alright, my best guess for the spellbook_x.shp's is, they got mixed up.

As far as I checked the graphics in spellbook_2.shp are the ones that would normally be in spellbook_3.shp
spellbook_3 should be 4
spellbook_4 -> 5
...
spellbook_7 -> 8

Have you guys changed nummeration from 1-8 to 0-7 or what am I getting wrong? And if so: why only for spellbook but not for scrolls?

since the enumeration generally starts from 0 in the original and thus Exult, I guess the scrolls enumeration was a mistake and should have started from 0 as well

[SirJohn]

I see, but wouldn't that mean that one of the sets "overwrites" the default ones in not the corect order?

We talked about it in a chat, but for everyone else:
No, the naming doesn’t matter much as the relevant part is the gumps.in file one folder higher up. This determines which file number of the GUMPS.VGA file the shape files replace.

Yup, thanks again
