Are you sure you did a "FULL" install of all the games (BG, TotSC, SoA, TOB) and removed the cd's from the cd-rom?

Sorry for the double post, but Guests can't edit.

I suppose this is more than a bit off topic, but now TS is failing to install. It can't find a file that's waving right in front of it's face.

ERROR: [1.txt] -> [override] patching Failed <COPY> <Sys_error<"music/MxKachi: No such file or directory">>

Unfortunately, all the required files are there. The only difference is can see is that the setup.exe is looking for backslashes, while windows uses forward-slashes. Don't think that's the problem, though.

Re-download, Reinstall, nothing. Bleah.

Help?

I need your SETUP-TS-BP.DEBUG file right after error accurance....Plz archive it and attach here.
And your WeiDU.log too....

Rather than start a whole new post about the issue, I thought I'd piggyback on this one, since it's ostensibly about the TDD/SoS Fixes. Here's my question: why did TDD Fix 6 decide to "temporarily uninstall" almost all the mods I'd spent ages installing as a part of its setup? Something could be screwed up with my fix TP2, but I'm buggered if I know what it is. And, of course, as with all those auto-uninstalls, the auto-reinstall is never clean. I think I lost BGT and the Planar Sphere Mod v2.2, at the very least .

I don't have the debug files on me at the moment, but I just wanted to know if that was standard behavior for that fix. If it is - why? If it's not, I could always try redownloading it and trying the whole install process over again...

Thanks, all!

[Sir BillyBob]

You can thank Weidu for that. As part of mod installs, Weidu will uninstall the original mod and then reinstall it. All other mods after this mod have to also be uninstalled but "normally" Weidu tracks this and reinstalls the other mods correctly. Therefore, you should not have lost any mods. However, I know that Weidu doesn't always work as cleanly as this theory claims.

HERE is a necessary installation order.
+ every major mod's forum has a sticky topic about that. Plz be more attentive next time - that will save you a lot of time and nerves

Well, yes, I know the install order. I do pay attention to that. But the thing I really needed to see was info on what to do with the TDD fix that uninstalls all my mods and reinstalls some of them wrong. That wasn't a sticky issue, but one I could have read earlier in this post, but just doing what amazinggameguru suggested and taking the GUI instructions out of the fix TP2.

Sorry to be a bother. But thanks for all the work you folk put into these mods. Cheers!

from the stickied installation instructions:

7. (Run Setup-GUI.exe and press U and Enter at the prompt) x4

it's not well described, admittedly, but the whole point of step 7 is to uninstall the GUI - thus preventing TDD/ SoS/ CtB fixes from uninstalling/ reinstalling yr whole modlist.

Just spotted a couple issues with bAR0406.BAF (TDD). The proper code for the two blocks should be:

IF
	Global("spawn_Forp","AR0406",0)
	XPGT(Player1,779999)//formerly was 79999
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("DDgull01",[1487.1649],8) // Forp
		SetGlobal("spawn_Forp","AR0406",1)
END

IF
	Global("wmSpawnJoluv","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("wmart1",[1337.1751],4) // Joluv
		SetGlobal("wmSpawnJoluv","GLOBAL",1)
END

IF
	  Global("CopperGuards","GLOBAL",1)//only spawned after the guards alert
	  Global("TDDCre","AR0406",0)//Changed this to an AREA global
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("beargr",[3295.1631],4) // Grizzly Bear
		CreateCreature("beargr",[2987.1840],4) // Grizzly Bear
		CreateCreature("beargr",[3260.2006],4) // Grizzly Bear
		CreateCreature("beargr",[3519.1775],4) // Grizzly Bear
		CreateCreature("ddogre01",[2482.1333],4) // Ogre
		CreateCreature("ddogre01",[2607.1334],4) // Ogre
		CreateCreature("icmin01",[3422.2131],4) // Minotaur
		CreateCreature("icmin01",[3724.1926],0) // Minotaur
		SetGlobal("TDDCre","AR0406",1)
END

The former code caused the ogres to spawn in the pit before you ever went in back--kinda messing up the fight scene. And of, course, you could technically spawn Forp before leaving Jonny's Dungeon. Riatavin is not a picnic, and despite the years of confused posts about it, there should be a floor limit.

I changed the ones in BP-weidu (Kensai Ryu's Improved Copper Coronet) to align with this as well.

[horred the plague]

Also, from same area--for SoS. The cabinet that holds the missives for Soubar, is locked by normal conventions (difficulty 90). Instead, it should only be opened by CBSHCCKY.ITM (the key that Selence gives to you after completing her quests. That way, the locked door and moving Llynis is not necessary.

As is, I just walked right in, picked the lock, and none of Selence' quests (or even a stronghold) are necessary. I did not pay the 100k GP option, either.

[King Diamond]

Fixed.

KD, you asked for the Setup-TS-BP Debug file stuff above. I'm having the same issue, so have attached it here. MxKachiA.acm clearly exists in the specified location, but isn't loading properly for some reason. Perhaps that file is corrupted? I've re-downloaded and reinstalled TS-BP 6.04, and the same error occurs.

Any advice, anyone?

Cheers!

Yay....

I finally fixed SPPR526.SPL (Hero's Feast).

Set Spell Form to projectile, and give it a projectile--area effect party (I chose 161--SPARGOPA).

That's it. Everybody is covered with the goods. Checked the .GAM file just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

EDIT: Also added the rest of the effects from resist fear spell; 7 were missing. May as well send you the spell.

There's a problem with DESTINATION file (or directory), not source. Plz check if specified directory is being created during the installation.
What OS are you using?

Ah. Problem self-diagnosed. I'm using the G3 Multiple Install Tool v4.1, and didn't copy over the Music directory. Will remedy that post-haste. Thanks for your help.

Spell is uploaded to the KD folder on the ftp. Something funny is happening to attachments here (links you to an index.php instead of the file--even in .txt format).

I get that alot too, you just have to try it a bunch of times and it will eventually work. I get the index.php trying to download when I click on threads sometimes too, get it with Firefox, Opera and IE. Dont know what the deal is but after a few minutes the links work again without trying to download the index.php.

Info Trigger note on Rusted Scabbard sign is whacked.

Do you think we should add a block to Ellisime's dialog, to maybe mention the village? I haven't played this far in so long, I had to go grab a walkthrough to figure out what was (wasn't) wrong. If so, I'll jot something up for it. Set a variable on that drunken dwarf who takes you from Easthaven to the Gates.

EDIT: The letter you receive from the travelling peasant (DDPLOTA1) has some bunk message on it--mine was about petty tasks. I do not even have the original TDD tlk file anymore, or I'd hunt you up the proper piece. It wasn't even in the BP tlk file. So, I wrote a little piece. If it actually does exist in the TDD tlk file, use whichever is better/more appropriate. Max actually asked me to fix the text in this mod, so no worries there. Not that he's been seen in any modding station in months...



~Kind Sire,

I regret that I cannot call you by your formal name. It seems that the cause of your lapse in memory is beyond my means to cure.

Do you remember me, even now? My name is Weslun Tane, and a friend brought you to me at the Temple of Lathander, in Athkatla. I am a renowned healer in the ailments of the mind, but your condition was beyond my ability to mend. As I told you at our last meeting, I will continue to consult the ancient tomes and see if I can find some sort of precedent for this condition. Return to me, in a few days' time, if your condition has not been reversed. I may have discovered something by then.

I sincerely hope ye do not lose this parchment; it may be your last chance of having your former life restored unto ye.

My deepest regrets, and fondest hopes,

Weslun Tane, Master Healer~

It doesn't exist even in the original TDD and I reported that some time ago.

Could you plz look at DPLOTA2 too? It's some kind of wardstone without description as well...
