Hello!
My BWP walkthrough goes surprisingly well, I've only had some minor bugs by this time. But there's a little oddity, which bothers me a bit: I'm already in chapter 5 and there's only one magical longsword type I've found so far. I've found 6 Varscona +2 longswords, and haven't seen any other type neither in shops, nor as loot. I think this is caused by some mod which manages item distribution in the game. I have a tactic BWP install with some mods taken out. My weidu.log is attached below.

This is what has removed your +1 weapons:

~SCSII/SETUP-SCSII.TP2~ #0 #3050 // Replace +1 magical weapons with Fine ones: v8

If you remove it you most likely will need to start over (your dialogs could be all wrong if not) and you may need to reinstall.

[czm0]

Thanks Chevalier!

I think I can live without +1 weapons. Butt still I find strange, that all the six magical longswords I've found are Varscona +2's.

[Chevalier]

They are from a mod, most likely DSotSC.

Leomar,

Now that White Agnus' version of Dark Horizons for BGT is out when in the install is it best to install? Wondering about overwriting that might still be going on. My first impulse is to install it just before DSotSC.

It does still overwrite, at least the Harder Enemies component (originally of BG1 Adventure) which was not changed to patching. Ascension64 and I had the toughest time rewriting that component as I recall - everything else was easy by comparison. So the earlier the better (or just don't install that component). Otherwise you may wipe out items and other changes mods have made to those CREs.

Heya guys,

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone involved for making this big mega mod installation possible

But I have a question - which mod can I install that will let me keep my items from BG1? I remember I was able to do it in a previous version of BiG World, but I can't seem to find the correct mod anymore. Can anyone help me here?

Many thanks

[Chevalier]

I don't think there is a mod that lets you keep all of your items when moving to SoA. At the end of BG1 put all your stuff a few Bags of Holding and then use ShadowKeeper to add those bags to your PC after the start of BG2.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply

But unfortunately, my Shadow-keeper-fu is not that good - how would I go about doing what you described? Picking a particular bag of holding and then adding it via shadow keeper.

Thanks once again


Edit:

Sorry, should've made it clearer - What I meant to ask is how do I pick a particular bag of holding, that has the items in it, from shadowkeeper? I mean, I know how to add an empty and new bag of holding, but not one that has existing items in it.

...

Actually, I would do this all with the Console, so you first CLUA yourself 1 bag, insert the items in it, then leave the bag somewhere, and then go the the transition by talking to Belt, and after the cinematics and speeches are done, CLUA yourself the same bags as you already know their codes, and then just play the game.

Thanks, I was about to attempt the very thing you described - however, what I was going to do was a little bit different. I was going to leave the bag somewhere and CLUA myself to the location and retrieve the bag - But your method is better - but the problem is, I'm not quite sure how to do it

Many thanks if you can describe it to me

Enabling / Accessing the CLUA Console

[Creepin]

Is there any way to do this trick w/o cheating, like some location with containers that could be visited from both BG1 & BG2 (apart from NeJ's Ulcaster as I don't have NeJ installed)?

[Lord of Al]

oh wow, I must say, I just discovered this.

an end to sleepless nights, early mornings, waking up with a pencil and paper in hand, all spent working on a BGT install order!?

Even to some extent, that would be beautiful, dling now.

I'm excited

UPDATE: This is amazing!

Enabling / Accessing the CLUA Console

Thanks for the link Chevalier

Although I wasn't able to find out how to do what you or Jarno described, I did it in the next best way I could - I used Ctrl-G to find out the area codes, dropped the bag, then when bg2 loaded up, I teleported to the area, picked up the bag, the voila!

Thanks to both of you.

As it was said, you enable the Console, and then you use this code to get the vanilla(BG2's) bag of holding in BG1:

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("bag04")

Then you put some items in it... do not put everyone, as having 1000 platemail armors you have no use is futile. Then you drop it to a container, so it can't be clensed, and then ... and once you are in BG2, you just re-cheat the item with the above code, and get the items from the bag. But it doesn't matter anyway...

[Rabbi Satan]

Wow, thanks a lot Jarno!

I think the main problem I was having was because I always assumed that if you CLUA an item, you are creating a new instance of it. I never realised that CLUA could possibly bring old, "tagged" items back to you.

Well, you learn something new everyday!

MANY thanks

Technically, you get the same item but the store (.sto) inventories get held in your saved game. And all containers have associated stores that manage their inventories.

Just be aware that if you come across the legitimate bag04 in the game, you will have a bug. Because now you have two containers accessing the same store/inventory which can lead to item destruction and other messiness.

And technically, you can use the two bags created 'hole in the universe' to switch items across the map without the need to get that close that the 'optimally launched fireball' between them, kills both.

"BG1 Adventure Pack v1.06" and "BG1 CoM Forge/Item Upgrade v1.02" is not compatible with BGT completely.

BG1_Adventure cause game crashed in the Durlag Tower.(ARD011、ARD012、ARD013、ARD014) .

when i do the quest of "Killing the Dragon", i can't find Jarent in the Burning Wizard.

i think this problem caused by BG1_Adventure .

when i do the quest of "Return to Nashkel ", i can't find any enemy in the map of AR4403. therefore the quest can't be finished.
i think this problem caused by CoM_Forge.

i tried to install CoM_Forge before The Vault,this problem is solved.
