I follow the mega mod installation instruction by erebusant, I compare use the weidu.log attached in that post. I can see the ROT is include to install after BG2 fix pack, so I suppose the ROT should work with BG2 fix pack.

Is there anything I need to edit in the ROT tp2 file for this to work? (for example, any continue() to add just like the FR-ROV).

[seanas]

just as an experiment, try uninstalling

~SETUP-FR_ROV.TP2~ #0 #0 // Freedom's Reign (SoA or ToB)
~SETUP-FR_ROV.TP2~ #0 #1 // Reign of Virtue (ToB)

and starting a new game, to see if it works. if it does, i'll make it my mission to release a corrected FR/ROV by the end of the week...

There is a continue missing from FR/ROV. I think i posted it somewhere how to fix it. Its in FR_ROV\bcs\patch\AR0602.baf

//Container

As I have mention in previous post, I have done the patch in FR-ROV, I have edit the FR_ROV\bcs\patch\AR0602.baf to add the continue before I install it.

Anyway, I will try to uninstall FR-ROV and try again.

Now I am pretty sure it is ROT having the problem. I just reinstalled BG2+TOB+BG2 Fix pack v1+SOS1.11+TDD1.11+TS6.09+ROT2.0+ROTfix, start a new game, same thing, nothing happen, the PC just standing in the cage.

I think I will throw away ROT at the moment and replace it with NEJ, I still have the old nej4.02+patch 6.02 and I have the old install that works with BD-weidu, if the BG2 fix pack is not working well, I will use the old BD-weidu.

does this guide include instructions how to overrwrite level-50 .2da files to reach up to level 99? (or does bp-bgt do that itself?)

No. After 50 I believe it will wrap you around back to level 1.

because it was the easiest of my outstanding tasks to complete, i've fixed the missing continue issue in FR/ROV and sent it to TheWizard as a v4.

if you can't wait, but also don't want to add the continue yrself, (or just want to check to make sure i haven't made a mistake!) you can find it on rapidshare.

You had the same problem as me, try using this attached ar0602.bcs and copy it to your main override folder in Bg2 directory....
The problem was, there was never an ar0602.bcs in the Override folder, i copied it there and, voilá!

I make a new install with world map 6.4. I try the ROT and FR-ROV since there are fix for it. I copy the two files from KD and copy to the folder before install and modify the FR-ROV file, after I complete the installation, start a new game, same problem again.

I then go ahead and try the attached partial megamod ar602.bcs file, now the game start normally, but no ROT cut sense, and I saw one more Imoen in the room, talk to this Imoen will get the same starting dialog.

I try the ar602.bcs provided by Urghhh, now it works, ROT cut sense start correctly. now my only concern is, my ar602.bcs after installation is about 15k, the file attached by Urghhh is about 10k, so there could be some mods that I installed but not in Urghhh's list.

Here is my weidu log. Urghhh, please let me know what is the mod not in your list:

From the mega-install guide:

17. Replace the BGT/Worldmap/links.tbl with the one located here: http://www.shsforums...p...ost&id=4098

Is this still necessary or was it referred to version 1.02 of BGT (now I'm using 1.02f)?

Is worldmap 6.4 safe or it's better to use 6.3? (I read in another thread that 6.4 has area links incompatible with fixpack).

Thanks for the info, Raoul

Only replace the links table referred to in step 17 if using 1.02 of BGT. The 1.02f table should be fine for you. Worldmap 6.4 is fine to use, however if you have Fixpack installed use the .tp2 attached here: http://www.shsforums...p...ost&id=4557 instead of the .tp2 packaged with the map, as it has the proper exit names for 4 areas in SoA/ToB portion of the game. Just download the replacement and extract into your BGII-SoA directory after you have extracted your WM6.4 archive and choose overwrite re: the .tp2 file.

In the weidu-log file in the first post, there are installed together the components "Allow Thieving and Stealth in Heavy Armor", "Allow Arcane Spellcasting in Heavy Armor" from BG2-tweaks with the "Revised Armors & Shields" from Refinements. I think they're conceptually incompatible. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks, Raoul

You did read the description of "Revised Armors & Shields", yes?

[raoul82]

Yes I read it. I'm not an expert but it seems it adds penalties for thieving abilities and arcane spellcasting with armor (like BG2 tweaks do, but not the same penalties). Moreover it adds penalties for dexterity and movement rate, and damage resistance. So, do you think this is compatible with BG2 tweaks, does it overwrite changes from BG2 tweaks or are the penalties cumulative?

Thanks, Raoul.
