im having trouble installing the Longer Road mod. i install it, but when i enter the command prompt to download the files, it gives me an error and wont install the mod. i do not have redemption installed, so i dont know why it wont allow me to install. any ideas?

Eh... what do you mean? It gives you an error when you try to download it or when you try to install it? Pasting the exact error message might help.

It installs it into the BG2 directory. then, it opens the command prompt(the box with the black background, white text, and it asks me if i want to install the longer road and then type i to install q to quit etc. i type I, hit enter, and it starts to download the files. then, i get a long error message. it mentions a parsing error,a compiling error, and a patching error that has something to do with the override folder.it frequently mentions this with the errors:[LR/bcs/1text1.baf]except for the patching error which mentions this: [AR6200.bcs]->[override/AR6200.bcs]

I'm having trouble transferring the entire error onto this forum.

clarifying the whole installing thing. when I download it, it automatically extracts the files to my BG2 file. then i run setup

Well, that's a internet browser setup... Firefox at least allows one to either download and then run or save to disc. So the .exe is in a temp folder now, and extracted into the game folder... so go to the game folder... see a file called ~setup-longroad.debug, open it with Notepad and copy it's text (content) to a post.

Since you're a forum member, you can attach files like that (compressed if necessary). But we don't really need the whole DEBUG, just the bits that refer to ERRORs. You should be able to just paste those messages in your post - use SPOILER tags if they're long.

Weird... SetCursorState() should be a standard action in ToB, no? You're not trying to install it on SoA by any chance?

I do see on my BGT game there are 2 entries for 338 in action.ids which can cause issues. The other one is SetCutSceneLite(). But then these are both in the IESDP, so they must both be valid, in theory.

There's a manual way to fix it. Open up your action.ids file, either in an editor like Near Infinity, or if your game isn't biffed, you can just open it from your override folder in any text editor like Notepad. Scroll down to where 338 is (or should be) and if it's not there, type (or copy and paste)

338 SetCursorState(I:BOOL*BOOLEAN)

Then save the file and try installing again.
