does anybody ever get this installed properly... ?
if all advice is go step-by-step and check whats wrong

seriously I'd rather reinstall but I follow all instructions this thread http://www.shsforums...roject-bwp-v90/ provides and yet get different mistakes every time.
Can somebody just give any advice how to install that stuff so that it works 100%?

[omniscientist]

To update everyone on my issue (Chapter 6 does not start):

(Note: I just started playing this game in the last month; I am not familiar with the API in any reasonable sense. So, I may say something very incorrect here.)

After playing around with NearInfinity for a bit, I noticed that the Chapters seemed to be controlled through the 'IncrementChapter("")' command. I found that this statement seemed to be issued at most of the points where I thought a Chapter transition would have occurred.

I did a global search for 'IncrementChapter("")', and found no instance of it being executed in any sort of proximity to the transition point into Chapter 6. I am unaware of where it appears, or if it appears, in the unmodded game files; however, if it does, then it obviously was removed somehow by some sort of conflict or whatnot.

I also noticed that the 'TextScreen("...")' command was used in areas where the chapter transition screens made their appearance. I found that the SCRTXT06.2DA file was the 2DA file containing the data for the text screen used at the start of Chapter 6. Doing a search for 'TextScreen', I could find no instances where TextScreen("SCRTXT06") appeared.

So, it appears as if this transition was removed all together.

Anyway, to fix the problem, I overrode AR2500.bcs, and added code that would increment the chapter and then run the text screen upon the first time visiting the area. So, works great now!

On a side note, (and I found this as funny as I found it weird) after finishing the talk with Elhan (the head elf who tells you to go after Bohdi), I get a visit from none other than Lamalha and her crew (the assassins from BG1). They then proceed to attack me, which, if not handled very carefully due to their use of Smite Good or whatever, gets the player insta-killed by the elves. It may be a bug, but I thought it was pretty cool that kind of bug could even happen!

Well, despite the issue I just described, it has been working great for me, and I definitely recommend the Tactics version for some fun game play. I think this shit is fantastic!

Wow awesome job! Narrowed down the stuff to search for and the culprit is .... CtB!!!

Line 978 in Setup-CtB.tp2:

COPY_EXISTING ~AR2500.bcs~ ~override~
REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK ~CtB/scripts/append/oAR2500.baf~ ~CtB/scripts/append/nAR2500.baf~     //Chapter fix by BWP

where CtB/scripts/append/oAR2500.baf:

IF
	OnCreation()
	Global("RevealMap","ar2500",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("RevealMap","AR2500",1)
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar1700")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar1800")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar2500")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar2600")
		IncrementChapter("")
		TextScreen("SCRTXT06")
END

and CtB/scripts/append/nAR2500.baf:
Yup, blank

Maybe there's a legit reason this was done?? Anyway, something else I noticed, there's an unused file called CtB\scripts\append\aptp2500.BAF with:

IF
//	OnCreation()
	Global("RevealMap","AR2500",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("RevealMap","AR2500",1)
		SetGlobal("CbPartyEscapedUnderdark","GLOBAL",1)
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar1700")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar1800")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar2500")
		RevealAreaOnMap("ar2600")
		RevealAreaOnMap("AR3585")
		RevealAreaOnMap("AR3587")
		RevealAreaOnMap("AR3588")
		IncrementChapter("")
		TextScreen("SCRTXT06")
		Continue()
END

IF
	Global("CbMaleMageTeachers","AR2500",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("CbMaleMageTeachers","AR2500",1)
		CreateCreature("CBEM25T1",[1063.1965],0)
		CreateCreature("CBEM25T2",[984.1981],0)
		CreateCreature("CBEM25T3",[1101.2022],2)
		Continue()
END

Maybe this was the block to be replaced??

From the looks of it, they probably wanted to blank the existing block then EXTEND_BOTTOM (or _TOP) the area script with the new blocks. Though it'd be better to rewrite the first block with REPLACE_TEXTUALLY. But you probably want to post that to the CtB forum, if you haven't.

[Lollorian]

Reported

The Continue()'s suggest EXTEND_TOP, but since the block is already at the top of the vanilla script, can be EXTEND_BOTTOM too

[Hoppy]

The aptp2500.BAF is what you want and I think I forgot to add to the TP2 trying to solve the original problem of the incrementing of two chapters.

[new(Mike)]

the xp'problem is solved.
i tried with Lollorian and find The Watcher's Keep component in scsII is the problem!

i don't install the component and the xp'problem is sloved.

Guuys, i do need help with imoen quest. I don't know what causes the problem, but in my previous install(BWP 9.1.0) i had dreams with imoen in SoA, she had lots of topics to talk about including something about romance and stuff. Then i reinstalled BWP v9.1.2(or 9.1.3, i'm not shure and don't know how to check it) a couple of times and those dreams did not appear again, when i try to talk to imoen she "has nothing to say to me".

I wonder is it BWP's 9.1.2(3) prob or am i doing something wrong. I tried not to take any female NPC in party to ensure that no other romances are started, but all in vain =(

If the bug is fixed in current BWP releases(9.1.7) i'd gladly reinstall it and play from the very beginning. But if it's possible to solve the prob. without reinstallation it'd be great.

Any help is greatly appreciated, even if you point out a mod that adds all those dreams and dialogs, i don't know even how to search them.

[fixet]

I think the more recent updates do not include the imoen romance mod

> I think the more recent updates do not include the imoen romance mod
Soo, it means that all that stuff is in imoen romance mod wich was excluded? Is it possible to install it on already installed and biffed BWP? If not, how's it possible to include it during the next install?

//thanks for help

[fixet]

the imoen romance mod did have those dream sequences, and.. you know, romance with imoen, so I *think* that is your problem

as for the post-bwp/biff installation.. I don't really know
I tried it once on a non-biffed tactics install of bwp, and I got some bad results, like items with dialogues for names, descriptions, etc.
also, my game froze on a dream sequence, though I am not sure what was the cause of that

[Lollorian]

The Imoen Romance mod was excluded cause it and Imoen Friendship have the same mod folder

So, that means that whichever mod was extracted later would get installed (cause their .tp2's overwrite each other!)

So if you need the romance, just make sure that the romance is the one extracted last (manually extract it when the console for the language selection shows up )

Woo, great! Thanks, Lollorian. I think i'll go reinstall BWP now.

[Lollorian]

Also, just to confirm, make sure to go into the "Imoen" folder and open the .tp2 in Notepad or something. Then confirm that the mod is Imoen Romance and not friendship We wouldn't wanna install the BWP another time now, would we?? (says the guy who's done almost 100s of full on installs trying to get the right combo )

[Suslik]

@Lollorian
Yeah, hehe I'm not that proficient BWP-customizer as you, but i've reinstalled BWP more than 10 times from the very beginning to the very end and i can't say that i do love this process

Hell yea it ain't But the BWS-beta with its pause thingy makes it somewhat easier

fxd:
guys, you should really do something with your search engine. the forum has lots of useful information, but it's extremely difficult to find it.

Here

search engine

Search has been pwned since the new year. Use google with the keyword site:shsforums.net (but people say google is evil )

Oh, wow. I don't think i've got an extra eternity to spare on one more tool But i'll take a look anyway, thanks

[Suslik]

As you may remember, i've encountered a couple of problems with "scribe scrolls" ability, my character seems to lose it somehow when i restart the game. But now in BWP 9.1.7 it seems to be restored! But.. It does not afford any scrolls to scribe, just as if i did not have any. The same with other NPC's. What's up?

After a while "scribe scrolls" found to be working properly. yet another miracle. i'm almost in underdark now and the game seems to run really smooth without glitches, bugs, stutters, etc, great work. BWP 9.1.7 is definitely better than 9.1.2, although 9.1.2 is great itself.
