Thanks..I will try it. Nope, didn't work.

Any other possibilities? I've always wanted to see how this works, and I've played a whole game of BG1 just to accomplish it, lol!

I'm like a parrot. Did you wait long enough? Have a coffee.

If BG2Tweaks ever gets updated, it really should FORBID_COMPONENT on BGT.

This will be taken into account for the next BG2 Tweaks release.

Ignore this. I wasn't expecting a thirty second black screen while scripts crunched stuff. IT worked fine.

Anyway, I'll still be making a new install for BG2, since I finished BG1 part with cca 360000xp, so at least ascension and tactics or revised battles are in order for BG2. If I can get that to run- 

 

 

I had a similar problem with the transition.
Talked to Belt, Area loaded, then not a crash, just a black screen. 

(Which made me install just BG2 - where I ran into a weird Improved Ilyich text bug when all of his party, including the Glabrezu would try to say something, but had the wrong strref, and instead said the description of one of the heads of the Flail of Ages. After which the game would CTD. Oh joy. I tried to install it all in order, according to the BWP pdf file.. )

...

Well, you have not installed the Generalized biffing, making every one of the overwritten scripts load twice or possibly more, making the games speed suffer... as they are not in the native library, I recomend that you try the mod in the new game.

Ascension, please note that ARAM00 script is completely goofed in the the present BGT version. All this MeetingOldFriends sequence should be removed and replaced with something more reasonable. Please take a look in NeJ for the better script. Meanwhile I'll remake it on my own.

[Vlad]

Ok, these are 4 files which solve the problem with the transition and makes it fast and effective.

 

They are for NeJ2 and NeJ3 installations until the upcoming version NeJ3 7.0.

 

You can use them, cut the parts from them, do WeiDU installation and whatever you want.

 

All in all, the transition is immediate now, no need to wait and drink beer or coffee or going to a toilet for 15 min.

 

I have removed the amnscene.bcs and long chain of Meeting Old Friends variables which slowed everything.

 

I've moved erasing of all journal entries to the final dialogue with Belt - beltbrd.dlg

 

In his area 7300, the script now saves only variables for 4 arrays from NeJ: cloth sack, ammo belt, scroll tube and potion bag.

 

In the transition area aram00, everything is now in a single cutscene, no endless checks and loops. All items drop without any checks. Only those NPCs (in total 6 with my Shar-Teel) who are transferred to BG2 are transferred, no more checks needed, just drop others and save precious time and patience. No need for the second cutscene amnscene.bcs. 

 

In ar0602, cloth sack, ammo belt, scroll tube and potion bag are put in the jail golem room in the chest. Since these are arrays, all the items you put in them are preserved including wands with the same charges you charged them in stores, nothing is lost anymore.

 

The price for this is installation of NeJ, of course. LOL Oh just introduce the amendments to these scripts yourself, or make the short correcting mod in WeiDU - up to you. And good luck!

 

By the way, if you use the attached files as they are - just put them in your override - everything should work fine, except Belt dialogue. I'll give below the WeiDU fix for that.

 

As to the items, I've removed the gold pantaloons and Drizzt items from the script as I store them in my bag. The same is with other few items from BG1 that Ascension decided to keep in BG2.

I want that the previous topic on this issue be referenced here:

 

http://www.shsforums...788-transition/

[Roxanne]

I have just finished by in depth research on those transition issues. Much of it has been reported before already by Vlad and also by myself http://www.shsforums...nsition-issues/ . Having now succeeded in a BGT installation containing both of our mods (NEJ and SandrahNPC), I could finalize my research.

 

Here a brief summary (and with that I promise to stop commenting on that issue)

 

1. 1- The current BGT transition takes very long, breaks occasinally and fails, and is fragile to intervention by the player - if you are familiar with the code, you may force a successful transition if stuck by some clua inputs otherwise it sometimes requires a bit of luck and a lot of patience.
2. 2- Some megamods requiring a continous transition of NPCs have contributed their solution to the problem BUT they have done this on behalf of their mods and thus these solutions require one or other mod to be installed (nothing is for free)
3. 3 - NEJ provides a fast and safe transition, I have never encountered any problem with it, even when used in large BGT games including mods not recommended for NEJ (issues may exist but not for the transition) >>> requires NEJ to be installed (The difference between 3 + 2 is the transition of selected continous NPCs to BG2 and an own system of item transitions from BG1 to BG2)
4. 4 - Sandrah NPC provides a fast and safe transition, I have never encountered any problem with it >>> requires Sandrah to be installed AND having her in the party when talking to Belt (The difference between 4 + 2 is a 30 sec additional cutscene to explain how Sandrah gets to Amn and the skipping of some unnessesary checks that cause issues in the original script)
5. 5 - NEJ AND Sandrah NPC installed are fully compatible and  provide a fast and safe transition, I have never encountered any problem with the combined script >>>> requires both mods to be installed and works with or without Sandrah in the party (the difference between 5 + 3 is, that there is a 30 sec additional cutscene to explain how Sandrah gets to Amn, thereafter the Vlad scenario is executed)
6. 6 - Both, Vlad and myself have published the code we use, so any interested expert may derive a stand-alone solution from it - as it stands, the existing and solid solutions are tied to one or the other (or both) megamods.

Going a little far with this aren't you ?

Well, there has been problems with NeJ + BGT a long while... now, that's not to say that there is or was not problems with any particular participant of the whole, as controlling the sum total of 500 mods is far trickier than say 2. Especially when the other of the 2 mods most recent version is not in publicly online.
While the other is and has been far more recently publicly updated ... though, it has been 2.5 years from the last BGT-weidu update. While the last publicly awailable NEJ update(NeJ2v694.exe) came online in abouts: December 2007 ... 8 years ago.
Now, after that the mods have lived in Megamods and they will continue to do so. But the BWP Fixpack has had to make the most of the work, alone. It has done poor job sometimes, others times it just flipped the finger to the whole deal and concentrated to other more important things. Because a mod that's not that popular always after 5 years from it's last release is not always worth to drag ones feet in it's bear traps...
 
Now, were the NEJ3 publicly released today, there could be people( points to Lollorian ... and ALIEN and Leonardo Watson, that is if he ever comes back ...  ) interested to make a good and civil transition protocol for both of the mods and all the others, like for example BWP Fixpack actually modifying that of the BGT-weidu's .tp2 file. Given the time. It won't happen today, but next ... Tuesday... especially if the NEJv3 takes the code suggestions and runs with them. And make the whole journey to optional without the NPCs being needed to be part of the players group.Especially the one paladin, in an Evil party. Yes, with silent/less than talkative other NPCs at the start. There would probably be a lots of criss cross moding possibilities, especially given that the EET is going to go that way.
The NEJ could build itself to be the default non total conversion IWD-in-BGT, as the IWDEE-in-EET is for teh EET.

I would comment... but will see how this will turnout without my interference.

My topic (the thread topic) was transition - not any of the involved mods as a whole.

And my issue not providing an updated transition myself is what you point out below - this is other people's brain child and I do not want to invalidate is, so all I do is make it workable where I need it. It is not selfish but respect for what those did who made BGT possible in the beginning, Hats off to them time and time again.

I am definitely a supporter of BGT, I try to contribute to fixpack and others trying to improve it wherever I can - selfish, because my Sandrah mod relies on it.

There are some issues that kind of would require more joint effort than currently provided by some individuals and maybe after a long hiatus some new initiative is required to keep the concept of BGT alive. These are topics that come to my agenda right away:

•  - the BG1 to SoA transition (discussed here)
• - the Ellesime dialogue (&sequence)
• - the Solar end-of-ToB dialogue (&sequence)
• - the handling of Watcher's Keep in BGT
• - ....

For all of them my approach would be to re-write a clean version taking into account the mods we know today rather than having them tweaked time and time again during a BGT-installation until mods start to block each other out (see Ellesime etc) or being non-compatible. Next establish a guideline for new mods that want to append to the new *standard*,

How to achieve that?

If I read it correctly, this branch of forum is called Mega Modifications --> BGT-WeiDU. We don't discuss here the mega install but compatibility and issues in BGT. Now, as you can see in the referenced topic, NeJ2 was made on the BGT platform. In fact it was the combination of two great games which worked fine. I had BGT installation and was making NeJ2. This is where Shar-Teel came from and all modifications and many banters with Imoen. Minsc and Jaheira. I still have Skie unfinished. Her code and dialogues are inside NeJ2 package already. The transition issues was in core of that time, and we solved the problem in BGT 1.02. The TP2 is available in the referenced topic. We agreed at that time that I get all updates to transitions if done. Now what guys did after - they just screwed the transition compatibility with NeJ2 in the future versions. All these endless loops of checking NPCs from different small mods is really a bad idea. I came with the new solution in this topic on how to restore our compatibility with the new BGT version. As mentioned in the referenced topic, if NeJ is installed right after BGT, which takes care of this transition now, there will be no future problems. Thanks Roxanne for testing and confirmation. Now, all other small mods may be installed after NeJ2 and add their NPCs to my transition script, which is posted here. That's all. 

 

Eventually, since I was a supporter of combining two games together from the very beginning and was participated in Bardez project before Raph took care of it, I think that there are too many efforts and time involved in making it work to screw it easily with some dumb scripts, which have no other purpose but packing as many mods as possible into the great game. So, let's leave the megamod topic as well as begee aside. This is the BGT forum, and has nothing to do with both.

 

And, yes, NeJ3 will be available publicly as I have already said.

Now, all other small mods may be installed after NeJ2 and add their NPCs to my transition script, which is posted here.

Am I reading it right that in order to get clear transition as per method you propose:
- NeJ MUST be installed and
- "all other small mods" must be modified to conform to the new script?

[Vlad]

No, you can add my files to BGT without installing NeJ with some minor modifications - see the post of Roxanne.

 

Yes, all other mods should non-destructively add their NPCs to this script of course.

 

For example, something like this:

 

ActionOverride("Sharteel",LeaveParty())
ActionOverride("Sharteel",ChangeAIScript("",DEFAULT))
ActionOverride("Sharteel",SetDialog("SHARTP"))
SetGlobal("SharteelPartyBG1","GLOBAL",1)
ActionOverride("Sharteel",MoveBetweenAreas("AR0602",[3583.2919],9))

 

Is it difficult to append the script with these lines?

[Vlad]

Ok, here is the patch for my ARAM00.bcs to add you NPC called Dude to transition:

 

COPY_EXISTING ~ARAM00.bcs~ ~override~
 DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF
 REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~SetGlobal("SPRITE_IS_DEADIMOEN2","GLOBAL",0)~
~ActionOverride("Dude",LeaveParty())
ActionOverride("Dude",ChangeAIScript("",DEFAULT))
ActionOverride("Dude",SetDialog("DudeP"))
SetGlobal("DudePartyBG1","GLOBAL",1)
ActionOverride("Dude",MoveBetweenAreas("xxxxxx",[xxxx.xxxx],x))
SetGlobal("SPRITE_IS_DEADIMOEN2","GLOBAL",0)~
 COMPILE_BAF_TO_BCS

As mentioned in the referenced topic, if NeJ is installed right after BGT, which takes care of this transition now, there will be no future problems. Thanks Roxanne for testing and confirmation. Now, all other small mods may be installed after NeJ2 and add their NPCs to my transition script, which is posted here.

Am I reading it right that in order to get clear transition as per method you propose:
- NeJ MUST be installed and
- "all other small mods" must be modified to conform to the new script?

 

No, you can use add my files to BGT without installing NeJ with some minor modifications - see the post of Roxanne.

 

Yes, all other mods should non-destructively add their NPCs to this script of course.

Just to make clear - this issue is for all methods of transition, even the current one of BGT.

Any new mod that has a BG1 character and wants to be compliant with BGT needs to take care of the transition (the existing scripts do that for the Bioware ones, NTOSC and DSOSC ones).

You have several options (if you do nothing, your NPC appears in Irenicus Dungeon with the PC and sticks there > bug)

- write a small addon for Aram00,bcs to remove your NPC from the party and game >> This is done by most NPCs - they appear in a second version in SoA at some point. If not done, both versions of the NPC appear in SoA.

- write a small addon for Aram00,bcs to remove your NPC from the party and game >>> if you have a BG1 character only - this is sometimes forgotten by a modmaker

- write a true transition that takes your existing NPC really into SoA >>> Apart from the NPCs in Vlad's script this is currently only done (in my knowledge) by Breagar (he uses Belts dialogue rather than the ARAM00 transition) and Sandrah (with a liitle script that is compatible with both BGT-original and NEJ-transition in ARAM00)

 

And yes - if you want any transition other than current BGT you have to install a mod that has one - the list is short.

Or you write your own taking as a start point either Vlad or BGT (which is repeating Vlad's work in a way).

That's good.

And that's bad. With several dozens of NPC mods being there for years, I believe it's safe to assume that 3/4 of their authors are gone and their mods won't change any longer. So while I understand that making these mods compatible is BWSs folks job, not BGTs, I wholeheartedly hope that BGT won't try to make their lives harder, because when a single mod don't play nice with that fifty mods over there it just gets beaten with rocks, thrown out and forgotten, and justly so.

Just check entry #38 above - probably written parallel to this entry.
