So the entrances are both being added to the same spot (sewer grate)?

Well, the entrance from TS25minimod is added at the left side of the map, more or less directly south of the planar sphere, the first house from the north. I had no idea if/where TDD adds an entrance, so I just installed TDD without TS25mini and had a look. There was no entrance at this place, at least none I could see in the game. I also tried strg-4, nothing in blue... So I'd say (at the moment): There is no entrance added by TDD, at least not at this place, and therefore it cannot be the reason of the problem/ctd.

Edit: I also just tested with TS25mini alone, there's a blue area shown by strg-4, even if one cannot enter without having started the quest.

TDD takes the sewer grate in the east side of the map, near the slaver ship.

EDIT: You may try looking the Forest of Tethyr patch and look at the code that White Agnus used and the accompanying macro. That seems to work well as CtB changes an entrance there and this patch adds another.

Can this really cause a problem, if it is on the other side of the map?
And not cause a problem, if one installs TDD after TS25mini?

The problem isn't the entrances themselves but how they are patched. From the angle that I see things, TDD does a better job patching the area with its entrance than TS25 does with patching its entrance. I will leave the conclusions to you.

Nevermind, I may have been thinking of something else or solved the slowdown by changing the timers in the dragon script.

Changelog so far for 1.14.

Note: Please have the Worldmap mod (required)

http://www.shsforums...ds&showfile=308

downloaded and EXTRACTED ONLY before Installing The Darkest Day.
This will make sure your worldmap files get updated ESPECIALLY
if you plan to use the Revised Travel Times Component of Worldmap with
The Darkest Day modification and for better compatibility.

* Requires the BG2fixpack at least the Core fixes component to install


Happy Gaming!!

********************************
v1.14: Changes/fixes from v1.13
--------------------------------
1. Italian translation added by ilot.

2. Updated to WeiDU version 220.

3. DDMANSH2.ITM fixed by Miloch.

4. MXSPLPAL.2da level 50 ruleset appending fixed by Wisp.

5. Rolled back scripts for TDD NPC and their quests. An attempt was made in 1.13 to allow BGT versions of NPC's to get the TDD quests as well.
Epic fail and this attempt is completely ignored. Install TDD after BGT for TDD NPC's to have their quests function. Install BGT after
TDD to have imported BGT NPC's from BG1 to get the quests offered by TDD.

6. Added a string missing in all WeiDU versions for DDNAMCH1.ITM. If applied, the title for Charname is changed.

7. Script typos and fixes by Lollorian.

8. Append SHOUTIDS.IDS fix by Miloch.

9. Re-edited the DRAGTOPE.BAF and changed MINUTE timers to ROUNDS to prevent choppy actions and better playability. Works better and we no longer need
The Super Happy Funlucky Modder component of BG2 fixpack.

10. * Added a BG2 fixpack core component check so installation will fail immediately if the component is not installed.

11. MHSWD.ITM changed to be used by Mage Hunter kit. It may unlock usability by Wizard Slayer now but it is a start. Also changed the BAM
(ddmhswd.bam) to look unique. BAM downloaded from TeamBG.org

12. Strengthened the extra spawn script in AR0602 as there was some weird looping going on. <<unsure>>

If anyone want to test it PM me and if I like you, you can get a copy.

Really? Good work Hoppy!!! But for the unusued file "KHELBUN.TRA" (seem to be an other Npc), are there possibilities to restored it?

And for others unusued files.tra???

PS: I would like remember you that<BR>In the village, near the dead cow I can speak with a little boy ("Ragazzino" in the italian language), but in the tp2.tra description there is: @20264 = ~Dead Man~!!!!!



PS2:
Pascha Salam first tasks (About Heart of prison guard)

If I decide for evil quest and kill the guard prison, when I keep the heart I noticed that is an Horse heart (but should be an Human Heart)!!!!!!

Thank you for you hard work in this mod!!!!!!!!!!!

Little boy will replace dead man in 1.14. I have done that already if you want to test a final Italian install. Might be good to make sure the worldmap comes out OK too in Italian.

Yes there are some unused files and bits that were never used even in the first version. If you want you can give me a list of ones you found and I will see where they may have been left out.


EDIT: The pirate has a horse heart, that makes sense.

I think we just need a description change so I will just make it "heart". Whether it comes from a dude or a horse is only known by the player and not Pasha.

What's the item code again?

Ok, if you want PM me and I can test it but I'm very busy in this days!!

Well, the conclusion is then rather obvious : I'll have to find somebody who fixes this, because I am far too inexperienced to do it. I guess I'll open a threat for this, and some other bugs.

Anyway, something must have changed in the new patching method, so it'd be awesome if you could upload the ar0400.are (maybe in a new thread cause this isn't TDD's problem now )
