I made a mistake in the Fixpack patch for that mod.  I've attached a replacement tp2 for that mod, if you want to rerun the setup-pcvamp.exe installer manually.  I also just updated the Fixpack.

Thanks, I'll download the latest version of BWS, does it have this fix? Or do I add it manually from the attached file?

BWS re-downloads the Fixpack every time you start an install, so you don't need a new version of BWS.

Nice detective work!  Unfortunately, I have no idea what a .chu file is or how to diagnose what is wrong with it.  I'm marking that mod expert for now.  We can try to contact the mod's creator about this.

 

I see that BG2EE GUI Tweaks is a multi-part mod.  Maybe there are some inter-dependencies.  Did you install the "core" mod (BG2EE GUI Tweaks, no - Background or - World Map)?

I selected the following:

The first BG2EE GUI Tweaks there is the "core" - I think - so you should've had all the dependencies you needed.  But I think you're supposed to choose one of the full screen world map versions, not both.

Oh, I was going to pick one at first, but I thought that they completed each other, maybe this is what causes my issues?

I don't see any explanation of dependencies on the Beamdog forum, so I'm not sure.

Yeah, without an explanation you can easily mess up and get lost.

Strange.. The debug log shows that it skipped most of the early components. Did you select them all? Try pausing BWS there and running the installer manually to see if it is a BWS issue or mod issue. If the manual install works, just resume BWS after.

Edit: Looking at the top of the debug log, the setup was started without any components. Did you already try to install it manually?

Edit2: I see in the weidu log that most of the components actually are installed already. Each time the setup runs it replaces the .debug file so if you retried then that probably explains the skips. Still puzzled by the setup command without any --force-install-list (unless you started it manually).

Suggest you PM the author on the Beamdog forum to take a look at the install errors.

I started it manually after BWS didn't install the Spell Selection DIalogue and the Specialist Mages Overhaul

Hello,

 

I was advised to make the Imoen Romance.zip only contain the weidu.exe installer and the ImoenRomance folder.

 

So i have done that.

I just completed a new bg1ee tactical install with commit e733799. Since this install 2 days ago (which agb1 is referring to just above), with the updated BWFixpack I didn't run into the issue with CMSTQ04.ITM (as expected) but also no issue with tellan.cre.

 

New issue encountered:

Spoiler
I reported this problem to K4thos.

no idea. Nothing in code could be responsible for first letter deletion in each action. Maybe it's a weidu bug. This problem existed back in 2012 when EET Tweaks was not available: http://www.shsforums...-merchanthouse/

 

edit: I've just tested it by installing Item Randomizer 160110 on a clean BG:EE patch 1.3 and than both tweaks - no problems.

I found out that only the "BG2EE Tweaks" mod is what makes my game crash, the others "BG2EE Tweaks - Full Screen World Map" & "BG2EE Tweaks - Background" work absolutely fine on my game.

Perhaps we need to try Item Randomizer with the "random chance of NOT randomizing" set to zero to guarantee that Aldeth is modified by it...

Thanks for testing. I've removed the warnings from the ones that are working for you. I saw on the Beamdog forum that you are not using the latest version of BG2EE. What version are you using?

Thanks.  BWS should work fine with the revised packaging.

Bugs:

 

1. If I save a preselection with lolfixer inventory clean/unbork components checked, they will be unchecked when I load the preselection.

 

2. If I check the lolfixer inventory clean/unbork components they get stuck as if they were mandatory from the beginning. If this is intentional, please reconsider. I most often skip precisely these 2 components.

 

3. No matter if the lolfixer components talked about in 1 & 2 are checked or not, the BWS will not install them. It acts as if I didn't mark them and makes no attempt to install them, or tell me that it does not. The rest of the lolfixer components work fine.

 

4. PaintBG does not get installed with BWS. At all. Log tells me "ready to install" and then it lists the components I choose. Then it just moves on to the next mod, without actually installing it. No errors or anything.

Yeah, I was not using the latest version, I just updated my game and all of the components ("BG2EE Tweaks", "BG2EE Tweaks - Full Screen World Map" & "BG2EE Tweaks - Background") are working perfectly , it even resolved my missing neera.cre files issue, so yeah, it was my fault, sorry!

 

So, now you can remove the expert warnings for BG2EE Tweaks and it's components.

Hey agb1, I'm still getting this error in my latest (current) installation, you should fix it with your attached file:

 

Using .\lang\en_us/dialog.tlk
 
SKIPPING: [Dawn of Vampirism]
This mod requires Throne of Bhaal to be installed!
 
D:\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition>
 
This mod requires Throne of Bhaal to be installed!
Dawn of Vampirism (Mal des Vampirismus) was skipped.

Thanks for the report.  Which game type are you using (guessing BG2/BGT)?

Sorry I should have specified. BGT.
