Now that cool and funny finnish speaking time is over :P it's time get back to topic.

 

Minor problem encountered.

 

Ajantis NPC: Ajantis party banter with Anomen fires even if Anomen is not in party. Didn't bother to check it any further because i just do his quest and then dump him.

 

Banter:

 

I take it you are satisfied with the course your life has taken, Anomen?

 

 

Update: Little more info.

Grimuars: Grimuars mod component "Tougher Ardhata" overwrites Adratha (TRRAK01.CRE) so Com Encounters, Munchmod and BP addditions are gone.
Grimoires is now fully patchified in the latest v4.1 :cheers:
I've patchified the com_encounters improved encounters - attaching here for Solaufein's reference (will report in their forums in a short while :))

Also, will commit the Ajantis fix you just reported and this to the git repo shortly :P (you might wanna report the Ajantis thing to jastey's thread in G3 btw)

Thanks again Lollorian, great work with those fixes. :cheers:

 

I can't report Ajantis thing to G3. Guest posting isn't possible in that topic and i'm not going to register there (or any other BG site). Sorry. :devil:

 

BWP is only reason that i registered here.

Weidu.log:

Spoiler
 
I just played bg1 part of the game:
Spellcasting of party and enemies is always un-interruptible..
Crash when entering the main bandit camp tent.
Making traps triggers some shapeshifting options and events that I have transformed back to human ??
Spiders have some spell that triggers of lot of "White screen effects" that makes the game VERY slow.
When guards attack me in baldur's gate, they make also other people have Red circles, this applies also for different situations.
Some spellcasters try to spell some spell sometimes that casues ctd, I could inspect what exact spell is it.
Some of the common protections (would have investigate what exactly) make the white animation sphere around player or characters. It is very common even around very common characters making the visuals very weird.

Well no offense or anything like that. But what your BWP game has anything to do with my BWP game. :ermm:

 

Only problem of yours that i have encountered is commoners and such turning hostile during battles on BG1.

 

Actually i'm not spell person so i don't have some of your spell mods (like Lost Crossroads Spell Pack for Baldur's Gate 2 v6b) in my game. So no spell problems in my BWP. :P

Erhm you should make your own thread, as this has not much to do with micbaldur's... there's a couple explanations I can see from the top of my mind to those things. The spider White out... it's a failed .bam, or it's coloring... the guards should be avoided in BG, as you should be running away from them, not attacking them, but really the issue in it is that the script they use to yell for help, it makes everyone hostile, which it probably shouldn't.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Couple Revised Battles problems.

 

Revised Battles: Problem with Firkraag spawning at Windpear Hills (AR1200.BCS). Fixed at AR1200.BCS by removing "Exists([PC])" from block:

IF
	Exists([PC])
	!Exists("firkra02")
	Global("b#firavatar","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("b#firavatar","GLOBAL",3)
		CreateCreature("b#fir03",[4123.959],10) // Firkraag
		Continue()
END

Don't know why "Exists([PC])" is there but everything works fine after i removed it.

 

Revised Battles: Several items from several mods (BP,Stuff of the Magi,Fade NPC,Freedom's Reign Of Virtue,Exnem Vault) missing from loot of Firkraag. Workaround locally.

Added these blocks to AR1200.BCS:

IF
	Global("MISSINGITEMS","AR1200",0)
	Exists("firkra02")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		GiveItemCreate("KEY66","firkra02",0,0,0)
		GiveItemCreate("WZRDBRAC","firkra02",0,0,0)
		SetGlobal("MISSINGITEMS","AR1200",1)
		Continue()
END

IF
	Global("E3FIRKRAAG","GLOBAL",0)
	Exists("firkra02")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		GiveItemCreate("E3TOOTH","firkra02",0,0,0)
		SetGlobal("E3FIRKRAAG","GLOBAL",1)
		Continue()
END

IF
	Global("DeSpawnItem","AR1200",0)
	Exists("firkra02")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("DeSpawnItem","AR1200",1)
		GiveItemCreate("DeITM018","firkra02",0,0,0)
		GiveItemCreate("DeITM035","firkra02",0,0,0)
		GiveItemCreate("DeITM073","firkra02",0,0,0)
		GiveItemCreate("DeITM083","firkra02",0,0,0)
		Continue()
END

IF
	Global("ExnemSpawnItem","AR1200",0)
	Exists("firkra02")
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		SetGlobal("ExnemSpawnItem","AR1200",1)
		GiveItemCreate("XARM001","firkra02",0,0,0)
		Continue()
END

Had this item problem in my previous BWP install also. Lollorian's analysis about issue back then is here.

Oh i have totally forgotten. :blush:

 

Thanks Jastey :coolthumb: for taking care of that Ajantis bug. By the way nice way to get Ajantis back in game.

 

Sadly though most of your mod content is useless to me but still nice mod like any other male NPC mod. I only (multi)romance :naughty: ladies (Dynaheir, Imoen, Jaheira, Dace, Yvette, Aerie, Nalia, Viconia, Amber, Isra, Kiara, Kim, Saerileth, Tyris, Tashia, Sheena, Fade, Sime, Ninde and trying Leina, Skie and Lena) not males. I only do male NPCs quests, take there items and then dump them. :P

 

Thank you for maintaining and updating The Lure Of The Sirine's Call and BG1 Unfinished Business at Pocket Plane. :clap:

 

Things looking good in near future. :woot: Echon is beta testing updated The Fields of the Dead at Pocket Plane. Vlad is updating and finishing NEJ and TS at Black Wyrns Lair. Imp is releasing his BG1/BG2 worldmap mod in any day now. :ROFL:

 

Hopely Leonardo :Bow: adds/updates BWP with those mods by the time i make my next BWP in far away future. Still looong way to go to Throne of Bhaal but slowly making my way there. :devil:

One bug encountered.

 

Lena NPC: Bug in lovetalks. Lovatalk 3 increases GLOBAL variable not LOCAL variable EU#LenaLike like it should.

 

At BEU#LENA.DLG changed action 10:

IncrementGlobal("EU#LenaLike","GLOBAL",1)

to:

IncrementGlobal("EU#LenaLike","LOCALS",1)

Bug is at line 325 in EU#LENAL.D:

    IF ~~ THEN REPLY @1038 DO ~IncrementGlobal("EU#LenaLike","GLOBAL",1)~ GOTO EU#LenaTalk.LoveTalk03.5

Multiple problems at North Forest.

 

Tactics: First mod component "Mike Barnes' Improved North Forest" owerwrites CREs from The Undying mod. Then it also "breaks" (overwrites) those actors from AR1800.ARE-file replacing them with Drakes (DRAKE01.CRE) and Noble Djinnis (GENDJN01.CRE) only Archer (AR18ARCH.CRE) remains in AR1800.ARE-file.

I thought the BWP Fixpack should have patched the Tactics to not overwrite ... and in principle it does, but the way it's done left it open to failures elsewhere, at least on your version... which is:

~SETUP-TACTICS.TP2~ #0 #32 // Mike Barnes' Improved North Forest: v25 BWP Fix

Which well thanks to the cheese is not the very latest Lollorians v26 fix.

Actually i have this in my current BWP 13.0.1 weidu.log:

 

~SETUP-TACTICS.TP2~ #0 #32 // Mike Barnes' Improved North Forest: v25; Lol's Update to v26

 

You probably get from my earlier BWP weidu-log not my current one here. :D

 

Update: Actually i though also that this was fixed not to overwrite but.... :ermm:

Darn... well, you might want to update the weidu.log in the first post in this thread, and the one in the 214'th reply.. :D

Yeah, the Tactics replaces the existing .cre's in the area... I don't have an obvious best way to handle this... perhaps just making a new summon point for the script to lob the Tactics creatures to might be considered... after all the though is to increase the difficulty, so it should suffice.

Encountered few problems in Xzar's quest.

BG1NPCSoA: First Nixie Brightstream takes 2 Giant Troll's Head instead 1 Giant Troll's Head (MISC9D.ITM) and 1 Mulahey's Holy Symbol (MISC85.ITM).

In XQNYMPH.DLG changed Action 5:

TakePartyItem("MISCA9")
TakePartyItem("MISC9D")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
TakePartyItem("MISC9D")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
EraseJournalEntry(350193)

to:

TakePartyItem("MISCA9")
TakePartyItem("MISC9D")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
TakePartyItem("MISC85")
TakePartyItem("MISC6M")
EraseJournalEntry(350193)

After Nixie Brightstream has taken above items she gives you last quest, to kill Gornash the Rotting at Lower Crypts in Graveyard. But Gornash is not there.

At XQNYMPH.DLG in action 6:

SetGlobal("XZARQUESTSTART","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("XQLICHCREATE","GLOBAL",0)
AddexperienceParty(18750)

Global XZARQUESTSTART is set 2 but in AR0802.BCS:

IF
	Global("XZARQUESTSTART","GLOBAL",1)
	Global("XQLICHCREATE","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("XQLICH",[1014.592],6)
		SetGlobal("XQLICHCREATE","GLOBAL",2)
		Continue()
END

Gornash the Rotting is spawned only if global XZARQUESTSTART is 1.

Fixed locally by changing AR0802.BCS to:

IF
	Global("XZARQUESTSTART","GLOBAL",2)
	Global("XQLICHCREATE","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		CreateCreature("XQLICH",[1014.592],6)
		SetGlobal("XQLICHCREATE","GLOBAL",2)
		Continue()
END

After killing Gornash Nixie Brightstream keeps repeating same dialogue:

She drowned, but instead of dying, she fell into a dream...

And doesn't recognise that Gornash is dead.

Fixed locally in XQNYMPH.DLG by removing trigger 3:

Global("XZARQUESTSTART","GLOBAL",2)

After that these fixes quest works ok at least in my BWP.

 

Other problems are minor but Gornash spawning breaks the quest.
