Question regarding SI-Fixes spell system

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?

John

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 :)

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.
