Trying to install both AI (AI or BI choices in the prompt) will almost always fail... You can pick either and the other components of each mod will still install if they don't conflict or require either AI improvement to be installed

So... if I installed SCS and SCSII, BP's AI main component will fail? I'm installing all AI enhancements from SCS' that would be installed with a tactics installation.

[Onigami]

After redownloading IA animations to fix the issue there (found out I had 2 corrupted .rar files) I've now stumbled across another issue, and would be very appreciative for the help.

Now to the issue, for some reason NTOTSC is acting up and claiming it cannot find 3 .bif files but I've checked the .rar files and redownloaded them in case there was a mess up with the files and the files "NTOTSC1.bif NTOTSC2.bif NTOTSC3.bif" do not exist anywhere in the .rar, but it keeps looking for them. I've also found that BGT won't install after I found an "update" 1.14 from the forums (I believe from G3) but it wouldn't work. I rolled the file back to the 1.13 version and still nothing. Neither of these mods will install for some strange reason. Can anyone explain it?

Thanks.

NTotSC doesn't install because there's no BGT or DSotSC, the files it doesn't find are ones it tries to uninstall but since nothing was installed it can't find them...

AS lol pointed out, installpack needs an update, until then you've got to edit the batch file accordingly

So... if I installed SCS and SCSII, BP's AI main component will fail? I'm installing all AI enhancements from SCS' that would be installed with a tactics installation.

I'm curious about this as well...if only because to my understanding, BP's main AI component also includes lots of other stuff, fixes etc? Is that not right? So we can't have both that and SCS AI at the same time? If anyone knowledgeable could elaborate on this it would be nice.

[Fouinto]

I've Played with BP AI and SCS* AI before without blocking bugs (BWP 9.10...).
But, I have never tried a newer install since

So I noticed, but I updated the BGT to 1.14 (although it was only a file update and not a whole package, the entire .rar was around 2MBs), I'll see if that fix will work. I did notice that before, it was having no issues installing BGT using the same setup (save for a few updated mods) and now this. Not sure what to make of it.

I would like to know this too, since BP's main component "balances" everything, but if it is simply retweaking the AI that has already been tweaked by SCS, there's not much of a point to it, I suppose. But I always went under the belief that SCS/SCSII tweaked and enhanced the AI of the original game and not attempted to rebalance the other mods as BP claims. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the components altogether, but an explanation would be helpful.

You got that on A64's GitHub? that's good you just need to add a copy of Weidu.exe and rename it to setup-bgt.exe and place it into main folder.
Still without the change in install.bat (Lol's link) it won't install because A64 slightly modified (I think that's what happened since 1.13) the install process of BGT so BWP needs the corresponding fix.


BP/SCS both have many components and as I understand it the AI components are conflicting because they both expect "somewhat vanilla" AI scripts but if they've already been changed by either, the second one will fail (?). I've never managed to install them together and I'm pretty sure the pdf guide clearly states not to attempt it.

Just checked, appendix C :
BP replaces scripts, SCS rewrites them instead and renames them (that's why BP totally fails to find scripts after SCS and fails to install); if you want both you should probably install BP first but SCS will rewrite them anyway and you'll get weird behaviour.

Everything installed fine, but I am curious about how this installation will react on Linux. I'm a Windows user but lately I've begun to eyeball Ubuntu and I've read that if I install the mods on a Windows partition and transfer them to Linux, it'll run as it would with the Wine HD app. Anyone know anything about this?

[dabus]

NTotSC needs DSotSC and DSotSC is not installed since the core component is 5 and not 0 any more.
Look at your WeiDU.log to confirm that guess.

[William Imm]

Edit the install.bat and add 5 to the DSOTSC install line. When I get time, I'll update my copy to fix the problem.
