I guess reverting back to the old defaults won't hurt if baldur.exe supports unicode --- if it does.

[Anduin Shadow Mantle]

Alright. After playing for a little while I realised I had installed SCSII and BP AIs as I was seriously having my butt kicked... in a fun way! But reloading for every surprise battle was getting a little tiresome so...

Another reason to use Beta-BWSetup!

Yikari still giving some issues not finding Wiemers Tactics improved Kurison acid mage, which is included in BP, so is skipped when Wiemer tries to add the component (not the only component skipped by tactics either if BP is installed). There is an odd anomaly with the svernblin Infinity animation. I actually deleted the .rar file I had so it could be downloaded again thinking mine was somehow corrupted, but it still didn't work.

Anyway here is the file. If you need the extra info let me know. (I did try to find an IA_IWD_Svernblin debug but couldn't find one )

Lastly do you think there are enough changes and amendments to make it worthwhile to start again with BW v9.4?

Am I thinking up silly reasons to use Beta-BWSetup?

Is a newer fixpack coming along?

When will I win the lottery?

Oh. Forgot to mention this install is working perfectly no CtDs. At present in Beregost...

I'm not profi in this tech mumbo-jumbo, but considering issues mentioned in topics like this I believe it doesn't.

What do you mean "it still didn't work"? What didn't work?

If there was an actual install glitch, it would probably be in setup-infinityanimations.debug but I don't know if there was.

Worship Miloch the Mighty Modder

I would only talk about install glitches in the BiG World Setup Beta - Testing thread. As that is the point of the thread... to talk about install glitches to make it work better.

However I could have given more information.

This hasn't properly installed on four occasions. Once is a freak, twice is unlucky, three times and somethings not working.

Oddly, Svirfneblin is selected for you as recommended. All the other component problems is probably down to my bad selection choices.

Tell me if you need anything else Miloch

[dabus]

If you tried to install BWP 9.4, you installed too early.
I did not update the BWS beta according to the latest BWP-changes after the release and probably will not in the next few days.

[Anduin Shadow Mantle]

No. This was v9.3. I actually installed it before the announcement.

I think I will plan to do another install, but only when the fixpack is updated.

I did look into trying to make my own patch, but it's far far far beyond me. You modders are geniuses

Oh well, good things come to those who wait.

[Miloch]

Mod: Infinity Animations Core (WeiDU-Beta) v5
Component: Svirfneblin Animations -> Animations and sounds This is what your going to possibly solve

Oh. Well this explains it:

SKIPPING: [Animations and sounds]
Aurora's Shoes has already installed this.

So no worries there .

SCS is v16 now - I'm pretty sure that's a crucial upgrade due to the Faster Bears bug.

[Anduin Shadow Mantle]

Cool!

Possibly a small edit then to title of the mod?

From...

Mod: Infinity Animations Core (WeiDU-Beta) v5
Component: Svirfneblin Animations -> Animations and sounds

To...

Mod: Infinity Animations Core (WeiDU-Beta) v5
Component: Svirfneblin Animations (also installed with Aurora) -> Animations and sounds

It will stop annoying people like me thinking somethings gone wrong!

[Miloch]

To...

Mod: Infinity Animations Core (WeiDU-Beta) v5
Component: Svirfneblin Animations (also installed with Aurora) -> Animations and sounds

But that title will never actually appear if it *is* installed by Aurora, because it will be auto-skipped by the time IA comes along.

There are several mods with redundant components like that actually. I guess I keep expecting people to read the readme, I don't know why (like Chev says, I should keep telling people it's got naked pictures in it ).

Svirneblin Animations
480. Animations only
490. Animations and sounds
Requires IA_IWD_Svirfneblin.rar
Skipped if Aurora's Shoes installed (does the same thing)
- Uses all svirfneblin variants for Underdark deep gnomes

Naked pictures in Readme files?

There are readme files in mods??

[Chevalier]

I don't know why (like Chev says, I should keep telling people it's got naked pictures in it ).

Maybe you should add an ASCII art of a nude woman.

Doh!

I found it. I looked really hard this time... heck if anyone does a google search they will at least now find this thread as well... (I actually do a google search first if I have a problem. Yourself, Jarno and all the other special people on the Spellhold forums have solved lots of my problems and given good advice without me actually having to make a post! )

Being thorough, I did look for the naked women but alas I did not find one. Maybe you could put one in your next update...

[Miloch]

You weren't thorough enough, because you obviously didn't make it down to the marilith avatars .

[Anduin Shadow Mantle]

[dabus]

If you use the search-function, the result(s) gets marked red.
Also notice that the mod itself may be marked green (recommended), but one component may be installed for expert only; then the components checkbox will be red.

[dabus]

Thanks. I use quick-logging to speed up the installation process a bit and then use normal logging for the last action to make the entries visible. So you can only see the entries at the end. Also make sure to add the missing tobex-components, since it was updated after the last BWS release.
