After loading BGT-WeiDU v1.01 I loaded the NEJ2 Compatibility patch and got a warning for AR0602 which I never got previously using BGT 1.00. Debug file section follows:

Which version of NEJ have u installed?

Well, it's obvious - the new version 1.01 changes the previous AR0602 script. My oAR0602 should be updated then as well.

yep, the existing block in AR0602 that the compatibility fix was patching has been chenged in BGTv1..01. as whether it no longer needs to be changed, cos the 1.01 incorporates the fix, or whter the fix needs to be altered, you'd either need to ask Asc64, or (a better option) check AR0602.bcs yrself.

if there's a block in AR0602.bcs that looks identical to nAR0602.baf, then yuo dont need to worry - the fix has been incorporated into BGTv1.01. if there isn't a matching block, then oAR0602.baf will have to be altered so that it matches the relevant block in AR0602.bcs, and then re-install the fix. (or rather: if there's no matching block: uninstall the fix, alter oAR0602.baf, then install the fix again).

I'm ignorant ... can i install BGT 1.01 with NEJ compatibility fix + NEJ 6.02?

Just to know, eventually i won't install NEJ in my installation if it takes to problems

having taken a quick look at Setup-BGT.tp2 for the new BGTv1.01 and done a compare n contrast with the BGTNEJ Compat Fix, it looks very much like all the compatibility fixes are now included in the standard BGT install - as, to be honest, you'd expect from something coded by Asc64.

so the compat fix can be left out of yr installs from now on (unless of course Asc64 arrives and tells me i'm mis-reading the .tp2)

[Ascension64]

seanas has misread the .tp2.

Yes the block has changed due to the change of movie filename.

If you can find BGTNeJ2\compat\oAR0602.baf, please for now open it up with a notepad of sorts and change "INTRO15F" to "SOAINTRO".

I need to throw in Vlad's new stuff for the BGT-NeJ2 compat so that might take some time. Sorry for any inconvenience.

There is another block error that was showing up even in the BGTv1.00 install. It was in the Firewalker Kit Install. As follows:

Does it mean that actually you suggest to avoid installing NEJ + BGT? (NEJ version 6.02, not the future one )

I'd advice to wait for the new NEJ version as stated in http://forums.blackw...?showtopic=1923
The compatibility patch can be developed after it is out.

[melkor_morgoth75]

Yep, that what i wanted to do ... anyway if i wait any mods to be updated i won't play the game

Next week is the week for me to play sometime again, just wanted to know if NEJ6.42 + patch is still good with BGT If not, i skip NEJ, it's not a problem, just to know to avoid problems ...

This one shouldn't happen, there has been no change to the block. Block errors CAN happen, however, if the BGT-NeJ2 Compatibility Mod has not been uninstalled correctly prior to a reinstallation, or if WeiDU has decided that it will be stupid.

As for using NeJ2, I recall v6.5 isn't entirely compatible with BGT-WeiDU. You can still use an older version of NeJ2, like v6.02, without any problems provided you make the change stated above. To be safe, however, since I am still not sure whether the Compatibility Mod really is a 'compatibility' fix, it might be better to avoid NeJ2 with BGT-WeiDU for now.

Sorry, I can't do this. I need the 'Charming Rouge' Imoen and Boo running around the map scouting for me.

I have recently installed both TS v6.06 and NeJ2 v6.7 after BGT and do not have problems so far. All the components of BGT-NeJ2 compatibility mod are incorporated into v6.7 though.

There will be a few compatibility issues such as Xan.

[Vlad]

It's easy to fix by renaming his CRE, DLG, script and death variable. Well, I'll work out all the related incompatibilties.

Well, BGT-WeiDU handles the incompatibilities if NeJ2 is installed before it. You could perhaps look at Setup-BGT.tp2 and simply work out how BGT-WeiDU provides compatibility, and copy the stuff over, rather than make renaming jobs and force the current BGT-WeiDU compatibility code to become obsolete/non-functional.
