Updated to V5

Is the mod compatible with BGT ?

Yes. It is one of the main changes from the older versions.

Same question here

[Graoumf]

Maybe to let players discover the mod without spoilers... well, there're some explanations on the old page.

Hello,

Please move this to the appropriate forum, if this isn't it Today I installed and tested this mod for the first time, as part of a multi-mod install that will hopefully become a megamod install. I'm pleased to report that the mod appears to function as it should, so far. My party went through the portal, dealt with the areas on the other side, then returned to Irenicus' dungeon.

Two things that should perhaps be addressed about this mod:

1. The voice recordings should be remixed to eliminate plosives and background buzzing. This can be done with the existing files; no need to re-record anything.

2. The villain referred to my PC as "brother" during one of his dialogues, but in this test, my PC is female. That's also an easy fix.

Aside from these minor points, everything works as it should. Here's what my weidu.log looks like as of now:

The voice recordings should be remixed to eliminate plosives and background buzzing. This can be done with the existing files; no need to re-record anything.

Feel free to do that and upload the fixed files . Real life overtook the original modder long ago.

I'll see if I can clean up the audio, then.

Once you finish, send me a copy of the updated files and I'll stick them into a V6 package and release.

Amadeus Pro includes more editing features than Audacity, so I've begun practice-editing the sound files in that program while following the procedures berelinde walked through in the guide Miloch referred me to, further modified by my training as an audio engineer. It will take quite some time to get through this, though, as I'm currently involved in several other mod-related projects. That, and my boss expects me to show up for work each weekday, for some odd reason

Thanks,

The enhanced components after this one install successfully. Is there a solution to this? I can't install any more mods until I can fix this.

Thanks,

Sure you're installing this on BG2? Because you've got some serious issues if you're getting [SetGlobal] not found in ACTION.IDS etc. Those are standard vanilla actions that should be present on even an unmodded game.

BGII is the only IE game for which I install mods. In hopes of reproducing the error and identifying which mod did the damage, I started over, checking Action.ids after every mod installed for "SetSequence". I got all the way up to where I'm supposed to install AzenMod (following the BWP install order, as always), and it is still there.

After I saw the error when installing this mod, I looked in the override folder, and found that Action.ids had been renamed ACSLEEP.IDS was no longer present. Some other mod must have made that change, but why would this be done? Doesn't the game require Action.ids to exist, with that filename?

Attempting to install AzenMod gives the exact same errors every time even though Action.ids includes this:

30 SetGlobal(S:Name*,S:Area*,I:Value*)

I don't know why weidu-mac doesn't see that, and the text mentioned in the error message looks correctly written to my eyes.

I'm completely at a loss, and dead in the water, and mystified, as I've installed and used this mod successfully before.

Please advise,
Eric

You can't rename a file with WeiDU or delete it or what have you (you could possibly DISABLE_FROM_KEY it or overwrite it with a blank file but I'm quite sure this mod doesn't do that). Most game files are not in the override by default, but in game .bif files. So don't look in the override - look for action.ids with NI or whatever. I'm almost certain this is an install path issue, and that weidu-mac is attempting to compile scripts without recognising where the game is installed. There's no way otherwise something like SetGlobal isn't going to be recognised.

It's possible that ACTSLEEP.IDS is a vanilla file. I just never noticed it before. Still, that would be odd, considering the content is that of Action.ids. Well, I've had to start over from a clean install, so I'll proceed slowly and carefully (moreso than last time) with mod installs, and see if Action.ids gets messed up or lost again.

Thanks,
Eric

It's definately a vanilla file.
