But the problem with Anomen is that the feature runs a script that makes the kit change when the quest is complete...

IF
InParty(Myself)
Global("IKNPCKit","LOCALS",0)
Global("AnomenIsKnight","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
AddKit(GODHELM)
ReallyForceSpellRES("IKitAno1",Myself)
SetGlobal("IKNPCKit","LOCALS",1)
END

...so if the base class is changes before that, the whole creature goes F big time, whell unless we add the-

Class(Myself,FIGHTER_ALL)
Class(Myself,CLERIC_ALL)

-check to the script. And that's only the 1 case for one NPC, the other is the Berserker morph for Anomen, and what if we use a kit? And then Refinements and a Kit? And...

You rock ya know Stuff like this is exactly the thing needed in the BWPFixpack. And as for stuff that makes Anomen into other kits, the BWS can always list them as incompatible

I'm just wondering what might be a plausible solution for the Level-50/40 thing ... maybe request the modauthors to expand them to L50?? Then there's the problem with the unsupported kits ... list them as conflicts with the XP-cap remover?? (some people might not like that though )

Well, the obvious answer is to extend their clab****.2da file, or whatever it's called in the mods, that is, if the Level 50 rules are installed by one of the 5 mods.

[Lollorian]

Extend, yes but on the basis of what?? For all we know, the mod author might have totally different ideas of their HLAs and stuff ... Not to mention, some stuff like some kits have this Gains X% Magic Resistance every level thing could be capped at 40, meaning that there should/would be something else that could grow in 40-50

EDIT: But, all this stuff about kits aside, methinks we should rather focus more on the more important stuff like the new BWS, the BP-Balancer or the biffing overhaul stuff ...

[Hoppy]

From my tests with installing 100 kits or so, I have seen problems with kits that are installed trying to use bytes or using bytes already written so it loops. A new kit I installed was in the IDS and 2da files but the character was a Kensai instead of Paladin, Wizard slayer instead of Bard kit. It is interesting to note that the ability to select all or more kits through the list may not mean that the kits are functioning properly.


This needs a lot of testing and looking into the KIT.IDS and KITTLIST.2da writability. Just a thought before everyone goes installing every kit mod and can select one but it may not work. On the other hand it may have been how the mods were writing to the files and could be updated.

[smercurio]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before (I did a search, but did not find this specific issue), but Full Plate & Packing Steel has an issue with the method it uses to adjust the resistances. Basically, once a part of the script kicks in, whenever the party moves to a new area, as soon as the party appears, Player1 jumps slightly to a new location. It may be related to the Widescreen Mod. I've started to experience this issue and find it quite annoying (not to mention jarring). More information on the specifics can be found at the G3 forum: http://forums.gibber...showtopic=18767.

No, I'm not. However, I took your advice and added a reply to that thread to indicate I have also encountered the issue.

Heya all and merry christmas


Please have some patience and bear with me.. been a while since last I messed around with BG


been reading the BWP 8.2 guide and this part confuses me:

------------------
J. POSSIBLE ERROR MESSAGES AND THEIR REMOVAL

An Assertion failed in CHSound.cpp at line number 4905

?> The songlist may only have 100 entries (0 - 99). Make sure that the cursor is directly behind the last letter of MX5411.MUS without any space or return!

--------------------------

Could anyone be so kind as to clarify what it means..

Also, I've read somewhere that there is a way to bypass the songlist.2da limit, and searched around until it got me to that Taimon tob hacks and the "increase limit to 500".. anyway the guide says to not install that, and also mentions:

---------------------------

26.1.2. Double-click the Setup. The DOS dialogue appears:

Install Component [Baldur?s Gate Trilogy - Music]? choose one:

1] Full Baldur?s Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast Music

2] Hybrid Baldur?s Gate/Shadows of Amn/Throne of Bhaal Music

3] Full Baldur's Gate/Shadows of Amn/Throne of Bhaal Music (WARNING: patches BGMain.exe)

---------------------------

However it doesn't mentions if that will leave free slots in the songlist.2da

So lets say I pick option 3, I'm "assuming" songlist.2da will be somehow patched to allow more than 99 entries.. there are 2 questions that I must ask, provided my assumption is correct:

1 - If I try to install via weidu, new mods whose adds songs to the list, will it be successful? Can anyone verify if there are free slots and how many?? (This will probably spare me a full reinstall..)

2 - ..Noticed that this step of BGT music I pasted above (was cut/paste from the guide) is done pretty much at the end of the install, so I'm also "assuming" that prior to this point many mods which tried to add songs into the songlist.2da have failed to do so cause of the 99 limit ??? (if I do remember right CtB takes a lotta slots), so mods like for example longest road, will not have their unique song played in the game . If that is positive couldn't this whole process of altering the songlist be moved to an early point in the install, as to not leave any song being missed ??

As a plus, this taimon hacks lits two features that look cool and harmless enough, the "Non-cumulative blindness effect" and "Stay invisible after successful pickpocket", however these are also listed in red as to not install... can anyone tell or remember why??

Anyway, I'vent read the whole guide yet, so if there are major misunderstandings on my part please make me aware of these. Also I will probably come back with some more questions/doubts...

[Lollorian]

1. The BWP 8.2 does install Taimon's hacks (but to make the .2da upto 500, BGT uses its own version of Taimon's hack - BGTMusic )

2. You can check the number of songs by downloading NearInfinity and opening SONGLIST.2DA It has serial numbersa nd everything

3. Mods can add as many songs as they want, the limit isn't fixed in the .2da itself (which is just a .txt with a different extension ) ... The problem is that the game itself (BGMain.exe) crashes if there are more songs than 99 (o-99 that is )

So, this is what happens,

• Mod adds song #100, #101, ....
  
• Taimon's hack enables BGMain.exe to use songs #100, #101, ..., #499
  
• You play game

(Ooooh the color!!!! Please change the color to something more ... not-so-hurting-the-eyes )

Cheers,
Lol

Hmmm so what you're saying is that all songs will be there despite choices in the BGT music and order of mods install, right? Thats awesome

And if you thought those colors were bad lets try some smiley colors what do you think of these uh uh uh ??

Perhaps you use a different set of colors, green and red look good here, but yellow.. damn you !!! Though I'll try to avoid it in the future.. maybe ^^



That leaves only the plus stuff of that mod, well that wasn't so important anyways.
Thanks for the fast reply!

[Lollorian]

THIS ... IS ... NOT SMILEY COLOR!!!!

The inner subtleties of smileys goes a long way in exemplifying the most degenerate range of human emotions. Smileys can be used to great effect to purport the actual expressions that the user discloses at the time of the actualization of such artistic expression.

Which means ... I liekz smileyz

That leaves only the plus stuff of that mod, well that wasn't so important anyways.

Hmmm ... I dunno about those though. The "invisible after backstab" thing looks cool If you want, try it in your install and tell the BWP guys whether it works

Lol

Drizzt Saga, Dark Horizons v2.02 and The Grey Clan Episode I: In Candlelight are mods so far that have a normal version and a BGT version.. I should use the BGT version right? This is kinda obvious but just to be 100% sure

Edited by Himself, 26 December 2009 - 11:39 AM.

Yes, use BGT versions with BWP (which uses BGT).

Why not just run the BWS, and let it download, extract and finally (in a way, as the BiG World Install.bat does this:) install the files?

[Himself]

Dunno.. it didn't download a lot of stuff here, and I'm 99% positive everything was added and double checked.

But I'm also old school too so maybe it was for the best.. I kinda like to do by hand (besides this PC is running Win 7, never tried BG in here so I wanna look very close and see how things go) .. old habits ya know

Just noticed that the Boards of Magic Item Pack has a full 13 MB backup folder in the pack
NeJ has a 60 MB backup!!!
The BP-Balancer also has a full 1 MB backup
MTS Crappack, Summon Bhaalspawn, Perils of Branwen and Jerry Zinger also have full backups ...

So, question time, would having a backup already present screw up stuff??

Well, if you go and uninstall not installed mod... but generally if the file is overwritten after a backup is made, the backup is stored into the backup folder, so it will overwrite the one already existing there...so the files there are just a waste of space. But there might be a few cases where the files are used in the uninstall, like the uninstall.bat's ...

Hi everyone. Installed BWS 8.2 standard with manually selected mods (i guess i should avoid problems as i choose "save" mods. i guess, again). The problem i've got is that in the beginning of the game (in candlekeep) 'charname' gets level up. And he levels up to 6 level. Imoen follows maddnes and gets level 6 too.
Is this because of Level 1 npc mod?

my weidu.log



just tell me and i'll give more information about the game or how did i install it. i just don't know if there are any.
