Well, after 7 hours installation is finished. There seems to be only one error section in BiG World Debug.txt:

Installing [Infinity Animations]
Copying and patching 1 file ...

Your ANSI code page is set to a value of 1251. Files in the content folder
will be updated to match your code page.

D:\games\BGII - SoA>"infinityanimations\batch\filename_nonansi.exe" "infinityanimations\content\"

An installed mod requires Belhifet_and_Marilith.zip extracted to your
infinityanimations/content folder.

An installed mod requires Shadows_harpy_frostgiant.zip extracted to your
infinityanimations/content folder.

NOTE: Download all content from Spellhold Studios. Each content module is at
www.shsforums.net/index.php?autocom=downloads&showcat=98. Extract all archives
using the "Do not extract paths" option on the Advanced tab in WinRAR. Also,
make sure the "Destination path" on the General tab terminates in /content or
/restore after infinityanimations (there are no subfolders beyond that).

For WinZip, make sure the "Use folder names" box is *unselected*. You should
end up with a bunch of .bam files and no subfolders in your "content" and/or
"restore" folders. Rerun this installer once you've extracted all content.

NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS Infinity Animations

Is it important?

[Lollorian]

Although that error isn't game-breaking, it means that IA didn't install at all!!! And everyone knows IA is probably the most must-have mod out there

PS: I noyice that many people using the BWP/S somehow fail to install IA ... aren't the archives unpacking properly or something??

[golgoth]

As for the AI, which one to choose between BP and SCS? I tried made some research, but didn't find an answer...

[dabus]

@Suslik:
The installation fails since there is no file named infinityanimations\content\µbqa1.bam.
Neither infinityanimations\content\µbra1.bam.

Open your current/latest BiG World Unpacking Debug.txt located in your BiG World Setup\Logs - directory.

Search for infinityanimations\ to find a block like this:

...\BiG World Setup>"...\BiG World Setup\Tools\7z.exe" e "...\BiG World Downloads\IA_BGII_IWDII.rar" -aoa -o"...\infinityanimations\content"

7-Zip 4.65  Copyright © 1999-2009 Igor Pavlov  2009-02-03

Processing archive: ...\BiG World Downloads\IA_BGII_IWDII.rar

Extracting  ...

You could also search for µbqa1.bam and µbra1.bam.
From my coding standpoint there have to be some blocks like this (since it works for me).
Verify that there is a block like this at the end:

...
Everything is Ok

Folders: 25
Files: 2838
Size:       104422577
Compressed: 104620223

If you don't got a message that an infinity animations-command failed while running the extraction with the BWS, you should find these.

Check if there are a few dozen/hundred files in the infinityanimations\restore and a few thousand files in the infinityanimations\content-folder and the named files in particular.

@golgoth: Take what you like. BP should more personalized, so some "handpicked" folks cast spells that fit their style. SCS improves all spell-casters.

Hey is it possible to reinstal BWP so it doesn't delete all unpacked content from the main folder? Because it takes so much time to go through all the files and unpack them again.

[Suslik]

@dabus
The installation fails since there is no file named infinityanimations\content\µbqa1.bam.
Neither infinityanimations\content\µbra1.bam.
there are 6923 files in this folder. there is a file called "цbqa1.bam" and "цbra1.bam" /*it seems to be a problem in the codepage, because i see 'ц' instead of 'µ'*/ any suggestions?

Is it possible to safely install infinity animations now? i mean without reinstalling the whole thing?

Edited by Suslik, 02 May 2010 - 03:40 AM.

[dabus]

Look at the IA-Forum. I think this may help you. I'd guess there is no problem if you install it now since IA is one of the last mods. But maybe you can ask for assistance there.

[Suslik]

Thanks a lot, i will.

Another question:
After Big World Setup finishes, Big World Install.bat is fired. In start it check, which mods are extracted and which are not. BWS said that only three mods failed to extract(Moon-something, Selune and one more), it's ok. But Big World Install says that many more more are missing(about 20, Xan BG2, Shed's mods among them). I've launched BWS in the same directory one more time, just to re-extract all mods one more time. Theoretically it shouldn't change a thing, but in practice after second BWS execution this number reduced approx. twice.

Two questions:
1) Why are a couple of mods considered not to be extracted properly?
2) Is it really safe to run BWS one more time before BWI actual work?

[Fennek]

1) Why are a couple of mods considered not to be extracted properly?

Several NISI-packes mods like Allison, Assassinations and Tiax are not properly closed/finished during unpacking. Have a look on it via Taskmanager. The more Setup-xxx you are killing, the more mods will be properly unpacked. But close only those which have already been unpacked...

2) Is it really safe to run BWS one more time before BWI actual work?

I guess all problems were fixed, so I guess, yes. Well, I guess...

[dabus]

@Suslik: Can you look for a NSIS-directory in your BG2-folder and see if the missing setup-files are in there?

[golgoth]

Why Throne of Bhaal Revisited is not checked in Tactic modlist? Is it bugged or what?

[Suslik]

@dabus
I can't find an "NSIS" folder in BGII - SoA. But!:
Latest BWP installed Without a single error! Wooo, i'm soo happy! English Codepage and multiple BWS-launches did the job!

Bb all, i'm out for a couple of nights

[dabus]

@golgoth: Yes it is.
@Suslik: If you ran the BWS multiple times and killed some processes, the folder probably just disappeared.
@kelrynn: Some time ago there were some people that mentioned Imoen going to the Copper Coronet in BG2.

[Suslik]

@dabus
Some time ago there were some people that mentioned Imoen going to the Copper Coronet in BG2.
From BG1 straight to Athkatla?

@-kelrynn-
Did you try searching in most common inns: three in beregost, two in nashkel and friendly arm inn?

Fix:
Just checked myself. If you remove Imoen from party, by default she just stays there. If it's impossible(location is too dangerous) she goes to Friendly Arm Inn or to Jovial Juggler in Beregost.

Edited by Suslik, 02 May 2010 - 03:34 PM.

[Lollorian]

Just checked and Imoen (or any other BG vanilla NPC) can go to the Friendly Arm Inn, Nashkel Inn, Jovial Juggler (beregost) or Elfsong (Baldur's Gate) if you've visited those taverns before ...

Funny thing is, in my game, they don't automatically initiate the "inn dialogue". I have to talk to them myself to send them anywhere

[Suslik]

@Lollorian

I think NPC's prefer just to stay their ground when it's possible. If you wish, you may ask'em to go to inn later. But when the area is "too dangerous", they choose to go to inn themselves. I don't think it's a bug.

@-kelrynn-
well - I checked all the common inns in Bereghost, Nashkell, and FAI. It looks like Imoen is gone.
Where did you leave her? Have you checked that place?

Edited by Suslik, 02 May 2010 - 04:53 PM.

[Miloch]

Any ideas how to create her character so I can add her into the party? I think there is a createcreature cheat. I'm not sure if that would work or not.

Depending on which level she was, CreateCreature("imoen2") or imoen4, imoen6... imoen10 for the starting BG2 version of her.

She won't have any gear you left with her, as you're creating her from scratch. You could also try checking your baldur.gam file within your saved game with Near Infinity and see if that tells you where she is (or attach it here if you can't figure that out).

I really do not like this halfling thief….but I’m stuck with him.

Oh be nice to Bardo (yeah he doesn't have much dialogue but he's got a funny voice).
