had the same problem...
i just deleted all references in tp2 to that creature...

[ronin]

That cre is a shadow druid, you installed something that messed with it and now BP cant patch it. I am not sure but it could be DSOA or (probably not) apack.

Not DSOA. I have the same components of that mod installed, and I don't get the error.

The file is from Chosen of Mystra's Encounters, located in \com_encounters\improved_druids (and maybe some other mod). But why is BP choking on it?

[Zyrusticae]

I find it very strange that this is happening, considering I never had such problems with BP v176.

Whenever a problem creature pops up, I go ahead and search the .tp2 file for references to those creatures and delete them. I can't seem to find any workaround to it other than that.

Okay, having uninstalled Chosen of Mystra's Encounters, I get the following error:

ERROR: [GAELAN2.CRE] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("ERROR: ADD_N
EW_SPELL: Unknown cre version SPWI112\000"))
Stopping installation because of error.

and in this case, some mod you've installed has destructively altered Gaelen2.cre, and so BPv177 can't patch it. either remove the reference to Gaelen2.cre from yr Setup-BP.tp2, or find which mod component has altered Gaelen2.cre and uninstall it. My guess here is the Apack, tho, so uninstalling it - seeing as it was the first thin you installed - wouldn't be the world's best idea.

When installing the monster install you have to be careful of older mods that dont append to files but either overwrite them or copy their versions of the file to the override directory.

You can probably fix it by copying the file from the backup folder of the mod back to your override and then try reinstalling BP, but then the original mod might not work correctly.

GAELAN2.CRE is from aPack, but BPv176 had no problem with it, presuming that aPack was installed Pre-BPMods, which Belegur's weidu.log shows.

So again I ask: why is BP choking on it?

most likely it was one of those files that BPv176 was still overwriting, instead of patching - so you never saw the problem cas the aPack's dodgy version was being replaced during the BP install. i've got a v176 backup at home - i'll checka nd see if this is the case, but i'd be surprised if it wasn't.

[ronin]

seanas is 100% right.

from the .tp2 v176

COPY ~BPv176/CRE/gaelan2.cre~ ~override/gaelan2.cre~

the first error you had in this thread is the same thing.

COPY ~BPv176/CRE/CEFGT02.cre~ ~override/CEFGT02.cre~

**edit**

is the creator of the apack still around? if not I might be able to fix it but I cant release it without his permission. Installing it post BP would leave you with screwed up creatures.

I just looked at the apack and it does not touch gaelen2.cre but it does recompile gaelen.d file for the quick startout portion. It must be another mod that modifies gaelen2.cre.

ronin

here is the block from v177

BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

the culprit seems to be spwi112 either in BP or another mod. I would say another mod because BP 177 installed without such errors on my install but I dont have alot of the mods installed as posted here.

Well, I've just tried another install, this time without aPack, and everything more or less worked properly (at least BP installed this time).

[seanas]

is the creator of the apack still around? if not I might be able to fix it but I cant release it without his permission. Installing it post BP would leave you with screwed up creatures.

the apack's author was gone, never to return, when i first started installing mods to BGII. it's a very safe assumption that he's gone and won't be returning - so you'd be doing a lot of ppl a favour, ronin, if you were to update the apack.

I started on it last nite, maybe if I am lucky and dont have alot of work to do at work I could release it the end of next week.

When aVENGER finished aPack, he "retired" from BG modding; this was around 2003. {Yes, I was "there" when he made his annoucement.} He's moved on to other games, but he does rarely post on mistresslair.net

I'm sure he would have no issue with the mod being updated, but if you want to give a courtesy shoutout, there's an email on the aPack website (don't know if it's still valid).

I had already sent him an email to ask, if he dont reply in a couple of weeks I will release an updated apack.

Hey All,

I got the following error that prevented installing BP 177. I'm installing a couple of mods that I hadn't tried before; G3 Fixpack, Ruad, Improved Anvil, Semi-Multi Clerics, and Battles (though I swapped out the stats.IDS for the one from Bigg's 1st mod). Given that BGT renames all the BG1 areas this has got to be a SoA area but I don't know which one. I haven't biffed up since I ran Bonehill though so I would think everything that mods installed since would be fair game for BP to update. I'm attaching my weidu log as well for the detective types out there. Any help would be appreciated.

Margrave, the AR1303 error is caused by the Glacias "charm" fix in the BG2 Fixpack. It also causes a parse error in the "Restored Minor Dialogs" component of Unfinished Business, although it doesn't completely choke off that install. If you open the BG2 Fixpack .tp2, and do a search for AR1303 you'll find the section for that particular fix. It's only several lines in the .tp2. Delete those lines and close and save the .tp2. Re-install BG2 Fixpack and BP and UB both install with no problems. Unfortunately, it means rolling your install back to the beginning to do it, however.
