Well met!

I tried to install aTweaks on BG2:EE and encountered an error on the first component.

aTweaks was last in line of (in order in which they were installed):
1. Banter pack

2. Yoshimo friendship

3. Rogue rebalancing

4. SCS

5. G3 Tweaks

6. aTweaks

 

Error which I'm getting is - http://i.imgur.com/gMnPHX4.png.

I've attached setup-atweaks.debug and WeiDU.log.

I'm using the latest version of aTweaks and have tried manually renaming the latest WeuDU exe and launching it again. Any advice?

 

Regards,

V

Your problem is that aTweaks 4.10 is not compatible with BGII: EE. I have just uploaded v4.20, which is (tentatively so).

I'm getting a Parse warning :

 

action list near line 302, column 2 of RR#SCRL.DLG PARSE WARNING at line 304 column 1-32

(RemoveSpell) argument (WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC) not found in (Spell.ids)

 

on the component Revised Fiend Summoning. It seems to install anyway, I have RR, BP Core component + Ascension and SCS, installed, in that order.

Other components install correctly.

If you are able, please change-log spell.ids and find the mod that removes the WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC symbol.

Mods affecting spell.ids:

 

Big Picture - Core Component

                  - Ascension for BP

                  - Imp.Demogorgon

                  - Imp.Gromnir

                  - Imp.Sendai

Stratagems - Initialize mod

 

I'll check out which one removes it in the afternoon.

You might also add in the factors... as in, open all the spell.ids files and copy paste them to a file, eliminating the doubles, making comment lines on which mods adds which and thus making a "required by mod list" -list on the side. This is so it would be easier to correctly make a spell.ids that's compatible with everything.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

SCS, apperantly. WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC was last time seen within SCS backup spell.ids....without SCS "Initialize mod" component it installs without warnings over RR/BP. If I install "Initialize mod" component of SCS  the warning occurs.

Thanks.

 

It existed when RR was installed (introduced by BP), so the DLG was compiled with spell 2302 labelled as WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC, then SCS removed the symbol without fixing DLGs, which means they no longer work right, nor can they be recompiled without errors.

Thanks. One more question,in layman's terms - this will affect the game how?

Well, off-hand, scribing Remove Magic or Dispel Magic with the RR HLA will no longer work right (you probably won't get anything from Remove Magic and will get a scroll of Remove Magic when scribing Dispel Magic). Scribing the spells with aTweaks' stuff will work right. There might be other spells affected and other situations in which this is a problem.

Hello,

 

I'm using aTweaks 4.42, and noticed a bug with the Scribe Scrolls component. I have Scribe Scrolls everywhere installed. When I scribe a scroll, the charge count on the ability doesn't go down - it remains constant. Then, when I sleep, the charge count actually increases, such that the counter will always increase. It seems to increase by 1 if I scribe once before resting, by 2 if I scribe twice, and by 3 if I scribe three or more times.

 

I've attached my WeiDU log for reference.

I'm using aTweaks 4.42, and noticed a bug with the Scribe Scrolls component. I have Scribe Scrolls everywhere installed. When I scribe a scroll, the charge count on the ability doesn't go down - it remains constant. Then, when I sleep, the charge count actually increases, such that the counter will always increase. It seems to increase by 1 if I scribe once before resting, by 2 if I scribe twice, and by 3 if I scribe three or more times.
The charge count does not appear to go down, because using SS removes one use of SS and immediately adds a new one. I can't reproduce your problem with sleeping adding additional uses, however. The best I can suggest is that you try it without ToBEx, or perhaps other installed mods.

Edit: I believe you can temporarily disable ToBEx by renaming tobex.dll into something else (and then back again).

Microsoft Security Essentials just quarantined the v4.52 EXE download here, saying it was infected with Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock - can I suggest this is repacked (perhaps as a Zip rather than a self-extracting EXE) urgently.

Not a bug: really, modders can't be expected to jump each time some crappy antivirus shat its pants. Normal course of actions in cases like this is to contact a developer and demand file in question to be marked as clean.

OTOH I think distributing in .exe format is obnoxious in its own right. But people will probably disagree and that's fine.

I hate it too, thankfully it's a rare sight nowadays :)

That presupposes that that the file IS clean. Or that end users should willy-nilly ignore an AV positive, even if possibly false. If you start from the ridiculous position (as you seem to be arguing) that all anonymously provided EXE files downloaded from the internet are clean and that your AV routinely lies to you, then THAT is a security nightmare waiting to happen and you frankly deserve to get infected for your stupidity.

 

I'd point out that this is almost the only file threat that MSE has ever picked up for me in years of use, and this is the very last place I'd have expected to find a positive, false or not. That to me suggests that far from being a poor AV, it's actually LESS likely to give the false positives many other AVs throw up, and is exactly WHY I took notice of this (and reported it propmptly).

 

I'd agree with subtledoctor - self-uninstalling packages are the issue, NOT my or anyone else's AV, when there's no functional difference to providing a less opaque zip file like everybody else, and less risk involved if people are (bizarrely) in the habit of ignoring threats when they download stuff. And if it's not a bug, then where else should I post this? Putting it here allows others to confirm (or report clear) what their AV tells them. And if the modder has changed the way they pack the file recently (the v4.51 file doesn't give a positive) then they are now aware that their newer packer may have an issue, which is also helpful.

 

What isn't helpful is sneering about a choice of AV and suggesting that positives should just be ignored, and that they are never the responsibility of the person who compiled the file as they are always false (in your opinion). Because even if you're right THIS time, next time you WILL get bitten.

I should elaborate, after using an incendiary term like "obnoxious."

I don't think that the idea of packaging a mod in a self-extracting archive - in effect, giving the mod an installer - is necessarily a bad thing. It's bad for cross-platform compatibility, because if a Mac or Linux user just wants to supply our own copy of Weidu and just get the mod folder and included files, we can't gee at them.

But still, it's a reasonable packagong decision if it makes installation easier for the Windows user. I grant that completely.

Problem is, I don't think it's any easier for Windows users. 99.9% of the people installing this mod will aldo install several others, and those mods will likely be packaged in the traditional zipped[folder+Weidu] format. So users will have to ise the more onerous method multiple times regardless of how this mod is packaged. The overall advantage of the .exe package is thus negligible, and in fact the deviation from the norm (even if it's better than the norm) can end up being confusing and less efficient.

And Windows users who really want to maximize ease-of-installation will tend toward using BWS, and BWS would actually prefer that mods not use .exe packages.

So tl;dr: I appreciate the intent behind this decision, but I don't think the execution is successful.
