Thank you FlameWing.

 

I look forward to your further development of Sonic Classic Heroes!  That is truly one of the best hacked games ever!  Beats the pants off the originals!

I have taken the liberty to update this mod to work with the Enhanced Edition and fixed a bug which caused the base classes to get all the abilities from the multikit (described in the previous post, too).

So, I decided to step by after learning about EE... and I see someone stepped up to the plate after I lost interest in BG modding. For what is worth, you have my blessing; if you have any questions about my messy code, ask away.
 
 

Thanks, and in the first place thank you for this mod.
And about the code... I haven't touched it in a while (well, a just bunch of months), but it wasn't too bad, just a bit complex.

Edit: By the way, you can consider my older versions as being retroactively released under the MIT license with "© 2010-2011 FlameWing". Back then, I didn't put any license, which nowadays I know actually means "no redistribution or alteration allowed". 

OK   sound perfect to me, just added the license (and updated TobEx while I was at it).

By the by, this:

 

Bug report: The enhanced edition has changed some behavior and thus the kit's description nor title is showing. Minor.

This is because the EE custom-kit function sets those, and if it's not included, it botches the reaction.

So you have to have these set at least:

 LAF fl#add_kit_ee
   INT_VAR
     biography = RESOLVE_STR_REF (~You grew up rustling chickens. It was a poultry childhood.~)
     briefdesc = RESOLVE_STR_REF (~CHICKENRUSTLER: Not much of a thief, but the chickenrustler learns to fight pretty well due to frequently getting into scraps over <PRO_HISHER> chickenrustling ways.~)
   STR_VAR
     kit_name = flrustle

I know this cause I had made a kit that was one that wasn't set at the start, but gained after via a script, so it was install and gain-able in the EE game too, the kits name didn't got added, and I was wondering what it was, but then I just added those and pop, it worked as it should.

The RESOLVE_STR_REF (~xyz~) functions are nice at this as it sets the text in the ~...~ to the games dialog.tlk file and then gives the number to the .2da files. The problem you will run into is that the kit descriptions can only have certain amount of letters and combining two will likely break the limit, especially if the player has Kit Revisions mod for example, where the description has grown close to the upper limit, and adding two will surely take them over the limit.

Actually it's an engine thing, and fl#add_kit_ee doesn't touch the kit's strref name. I've even tried adding the title via opcode 290 but it didn't work. I might add an option to print the Kit's Description on screen. Also, I'll have the KR thing in mind for the next versions.

Here is an error log from 0.27.3, trying to install thief multikits onto a True Fighter/True Mage/Some Thief chassis.The installation always fails, though the error is sometimes different for some multikit combinations....

The probable source of the problem is in the m7multikit-master.zip\m7multikit-master\m7multikit\lib/7c#ee_multikit.tph -file, the behaviour is different for each of the classes cause they are constructed differently each, aka the fighter/thief and thief/mage use dfferent class order, dah. But what exactly is wrong, I haven't got a clue. But the fix is possibly to assume the value is a zero if it's not found in the table.

A horrible install order results in broken clabfi01.2da file.
What you should so, is install those mods using the BiG World Setup tool(link, warning, it's direct download of the program), and then use this mod on top. So you actually have a correct install order and a bit more less broken files.

First, sorry for my IDK-how-many-months-absence. Fucking school. And LoL. Let's not only blame school. I play a lot of LoL.

Yeah, I think it's that too, since I was meant to fix this but apparently I didn't or at least I didn't do it right. I'll look on this past 26th.

Oof, I can't believe I didn't catch that I posted an error log from an out-of-date version!
 
I had actually reverted to version 0.25 because 0.27.3 fails to install any thief multikit on Baldur's Gate: EE onto a Fighter/Mage/Thief chassis. Version 0.25 successfully installs any of the pre-packaged thief multikits with the exception of shadowdancer. All versions require the experience cap removal modification from BG2 Tweaks, as noted earlier in the thread, otherwise all installation attempts spit out an error relating to missing columns. Any error logs in this post are from an otherwise clean installation, and only from version 0.27.3.

http://pastebin.com/BbDy3yjP (ERROR: cannot convert pick_pockets_1 or %pick_pockets_1% to an integer for all thief kits.)

 
Here's another error log, again on an F/M/T chassis. This time, trying varying Fighter and Mage kits. All installations fail, the Shadowdancer returns a different error.
 

http://pastebin.com/b0PzX8G1 (ERROR: cannot convert 0-2 or %0-2% to an integer for all Thief kits except Shadowdancer, ERROR: cannot convert pick_pockets_2 or %pick_pockets_2% to an integer for Shadowdancer.)

 
Successful installations using only the F/T chassis:
 

http://pastebin.com/nCzBH2cs (No fatal errors.)

 
Some successful installations, and some failures, using only the M/T chassis:
 

http://pastebin.com/LMW9YHJU (ERROR: cannot convert pick_pockets_0 or %pick_pockets_0% to an integer for True Mage/True Thief, ERROR: cannot convert pick_pockets_1 or %pick_pockets_1% to an integer for Shadowdancer.)

 
I hope these error logs are helpful!
 
 

THANK YOU!! It might be that the tables are bugged, too, but if they're I'll patch them out. I have to see, since it might also be what Jarno mentioned.
Thanks again for the logs.

Well, as long as you pop by every so often, it's all nice man, as there's hope of a fixed release.

And LoL

-yes, a bad pun on the expense of teh League of Legends, considering to be only Laughing Out Loud.

First, I have no experience with modding BG2, so I have no idea if this will help at all, but I think I may have narrowed down where the "cannot append table" error was coming from for me. 

 

With the scales of balance mod installed, a swashbuckler or scout both triggered the error, but without the mod a swashbuckler worked fine, and since there are limited changes from swashbuckler to scales of balance swashbuckler I thought this might help.

Go and check back if the Scales of Balance mod has been updated since the version you use, and if not, report this there. And try the new one if it has been updated.

1. Generating my own HLA gives error (but use base HLA works)

Is this in a BG1EE... cause in case you didn't notice, the game doesn't have standard HLAs.

This mod has been added to BWS with appropriate warnings and install order (i.e., at the very end).

Great this is an excellent mod IMHO (not 100% bug-free, but excellent anyway )

[Slant]

I'm new to modding and don't really know what I've messed up with this. I attempted to install this for BGEE, but all I got was this. Any help would be appreciated.
