I'm having a strange problem that is making me think that I installed mods in the incorrect order, despite them being solely WeiDU mods.

On occasion, when I am 'waylaid by enemies and must defend myself' while moving between map areas, instead of 'waylaid by enemies...' being displayed in the text window, I always see some random journal entry.  For example, I was attacked by a group of gnolls and the text window filled up with the journal entry from the Prologue where Reevor (sp?) wanted me to kill the rats in the warehouse.  On another occasion, I was attacked while resting and the text window filled up with text about the gnome whose house in Beregost had been taken over by huge spiders, a quest I had long since completed.

And just last night I was clearing the bandit camp (BG1) and I saw in my text window:  "Dynaheir:  Celestial Fury +5".

Now, obviously, this has to do with the dialogue-altering mods that I've installed, most notably in this case the Item Upgrade mod (http://weidu.org/item.html).  I installed only the WeiDU mods from that site (Ease of Use, Item Upgrade, etc.) and I installed them after running the BGT install.  My question is; should I have installed them on top of BG2 *prior* to the BGT-WeiDU installation?  Or am I going to be stuck with this (admittedly minor) problem regardless?

Thanks.

I am already aware of incorrect journal entries appearing in rest spawn dialogues. They have been corrected. The Dynaheir text is likely the same cause. The issue was that some rest spawn dialogues still had their original BGT dialog.tlk references hard-coded into the ARE and were not updated correctly.

Ok I made it work deleting the BG1 music copying process from the batch file BGT-Complete. I also found a small bug in TP2 file (I think):

EXTEND_TOP ~MONTARON.BAF~ ~BGT/Compat/TDD/Replace/xMONTARON.BAF~
EXTEND_BOTTOM ~SHARTEEL.BCS~ ~BGT/Compat/TDD/Replace/xSHARTEEL.BAF~
EXTEND_TOP ~XZAR.BAF~ ~BGT/Compat/TDD/Replace/xXZAR.BAF~

The extend actions should be referred to BCS, not to BAF files, if I'm not wrong.

You are correct, of course. Fixed and thanks.

Nereid is OK checked thx 4 reply.

Though i got other problems(more glitches really):
1. Cap Brage:
a. Came from east, the girl started dialog, i told her that i should kill cap, she became hostile. Dialog ended.
b. Brage came, started dialog, i solved the riddle, came back to temple with the guy. "good" ending.
c. went back to the area. the girl is there(hostile) and Brage is there too, just near the place where protagonist stood during the talk. I killed the girl, Brage became hostile, killed him too.
d. took his body and got my bounty.

2. Cloack of the Wolf.
(i assume that when i use it in wolf form i should shapechange back to human, right).
Anyway, the ony way to chage back is rest(i think time should pass, thats all). BUT my magical "wolf paw" weapon is still in my hand and cant be removed.
other funny thing is that i can *try* to cast spells they all fail, still shouldnt this ability be disabled in anymal form?

You installed Baldurdash Fixpacks on BG1. You need FRESH installation of BG1: TotSC + patch. Also prepair to expirience rare crashes(especially in Beregost). It happens.

[ScuD]

Nope, this is because of TDD-Weidu installed. And Baldurdash didn't help me in that case.
I'd advise to wait for more stable version of TDD from King Diamond.

Cloak of the Wolf - I believe one of the item mods is screwing this up. The wolf cloak works perfectly in BGT-WeiDU.

Brage - it might be that BRAGECUT, the cutscene script for taking you to the temple of Helm) is unsuccessful in destroying the original Brage at the area where you met him (ARA100). I'll have to try this further, but can you reproduce this?

Another bug:
Between city of Beregost and Naskel is small map (encounter 2 ogrilions with letter from Roe and 1 Flaming Fist mercenary)...the letter from Roe don't exist and his place now take some weird rogue gem <is it normal>...also game crashes when entering some X/Y on this map (even when walking the road heading to Nashkel I get everytime crash)...I don't know if other maps had the same problem...Beregost, Friendly Arm, Candlekeep looks and works almost fine <I mean no crashes there>. Plz help...

Yup, agree with the others on this one.

@A64 and Hety-

Looking at the mods installed, I almost want to say that Cloak of the Wolf is a function of the Shapeshifting Fix from Refinements. Item Upgrade shouldn't have anything to do with it (doesn't touch anything having to do with wolves or paws), Ease doesn't have any components installed that would do anything either, and 1PP only touches graphics. Can anyone out there comment on that?

All I can say is that BGT-WeiDU does not touch CLCK04, so unless the Cloak of the Wolf is already bugged in BGII (which it isn't, because I checked), then some mod is spilling blood on it.

Curious, hlid. Does making a infinitely-paged thread clog up anything forum-wise? Of course, separate topics will make it easier for people to find things provided there isn't continuous clutter about the same thing.
