Sir BillyBob and leahnkain thanks for your answers.

So I think, that no BG2 Tweak Pack component is really useful for CA, because it is already included or you can get it with changing the difficulty lever (the same for "Higher HP on Level Up").

Say, where can you check the numbers of the components? I couldn't find them

Sorry, I've updated the first post in this case.

Hello,

I've recently finished my first run through Classic Adventures and made some compatibility improvements regarding Rogue Rebalancing after familiarizing myself with CA. As of RR v4.2 several items introduced by the "Additional equipment for Thieves and Bards" can now be acquired during regular gameplay on a Classic Adventures installation. Here are the full details:

• Composite Shortbow, Composite Shortbow +1 - Rurik's store (Saltmarsh)
  
• Masterbelt - Saltmarsh Merchant's store (Saltmarsh)
  
• Fragment of Enlightment - Fielding's Magic Shoppe (Saltmarsh)
  
• The Weary Cudgel - Lizardmen swamp, guard tower
  
• Stalwart Defender - Sahugain base, prism level
  
• Returning Frost Dart - Mistmoor mannor, vault
  
• Fading Glory - Temple near Westgate, level 2
  
• Keeper of the Law - Slaver Fortress, level 3
  
• Buckler +2, Composite Shortbow +2 - Suderham merchant's store (Suderham)

Once Selugant is finalized, I might add a few more. Enjoy!


P.S.

If you are getting a parse warning due to a missing entry for WIZARD_TRUE_DISPEL_MAGIC in SPELL.IDS when installing the "Bard High Level Ability revisions" component, don't worry, it's fairly harmless. I've already discussed this issue with the CA authors and it will likely be resolved in the next version of their mod. The warning comes up because several spell descriptors which were present in the unmodded game had been erroneously removed from SPELL.IDS for Classic Adventures.

Awesome work! Thanks again.

As for the error message, you pointed me to the right spot and it is fixed (though they haven't even seen it yet). I look forward to adding this to my standard install.

You don't need to edit the first post.

I try to update the first post everytime if something were changed. When you release the v0.50 I will change the BG2 Fixpack notes.

By the way, thanks for your hard work on CA.

Since I've been playing CA recently, I made some minor compatibility adjustments to aTweaks in v2.6 so that it better accomodates for CA installs:

• The "Additional racial traits for Gnomes" component will now properly affect Bugbears introduced by the Classic Adventures mod
  
• The "Restore innate disease immunity to Paladins" component will now properly affect the custom Paladin kits introduced by the Classic Adventures and Oversight mods (Paladin of Sune and Holy Liberator)
  
• The "Bard songs break invisibility" component will now properly affect the songs of the custom Bard kits introduced by the Classic Adventures and Song and Silence mods (Harper of Twilight, Gypsy and Dirgesinger)

Enjoy!

I've added "Aurora's Shoes and Boots" to the first post.

[leahnkain]

Thanks. I am really looking forward to trying Aurora's Shoes and Boots during my next run through.

Unique Containers v2 is compatible with CA. Technically, it was in v1 too but I tweaked it a bit.

P5Tweaks should also be compatible as far as I know, though the "Restore SoA Background Music" component probably isn't terribly relevant.

Shouldn't this post be merged perhaps with the pinned compatibility topic?

i too have been using p5 for awhile now with no problems ... right now i've started a new run through with the key ring mod, parts of ding0's tweaks, b!tweaks, and the cure/cause component of konalan's tweaks.

I've added "Pickpocket Options" to the first post (Sam. mentioned it here.).

With the new CA0.51 version, "1pp Female Dwarves" can't be installed normally. You get a solution here:

I think Ascension64's exe patches are compatible, unless they're included already (enable conversations with Charmed characters etc.). They seem to be compatible with Infinity Animations and Aurora anyhow.

[Leomar]

I've added "Thrown Hammers" to the first post, because Miloch has added CA compatibility to it.

Just as un update for the current 0.53a version. Aurora component "realistic kobolds" cannot be installed as it doesn't find kobolda.cre,

Can you post the error you get from the SETUP-AURORA.DEBUG file. (Though I think maybe the Aurora forum would be better because I won't see it here when I go to do updates.) It shouldn't be an issue as it uses:

ACTION_FOR_EACH ~kba~ IN ~%tsu%kobolda~ ~kobarc01~ ~swsfoll4~ ~swsfoll5~ BEGIN
  ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~%kbc%.cre~ BEGIN

Meaning it only tries patching the CREs if they exist and does nothing if they do not. Actually I'm noticing a stupid typo there - if you change the %kbc% to %kba% it should work.
