IU'm using BWS with Thalantyr. And thalantyr was installed properly. Just chiming in, didn't have time to read what you've done to the game. I'm not using EET. The BWS I'm using is: BigWorldSetup-bigworldsetup-a5902dd18b61

I'm having the same problem as the above poster - my green setup bar just freezes during the first part of the mod installation process.

Re: NPC_EE - I can't reproduce the crash, and given all your other problems it sounds like it could be a bad interaction with some other mod. NPC_EE initiates a dialogue when you use that sbility, so if you have /lang and .tlk problems, they may be the cause.

Do you have SoD from Steam or GOG? Did you run ModMerge before modding it?

After finishing a fresh BG1EE:SOD reinstall, SW1H53 item name is still borked. Can anyone check their installation of BG1:SOD if they have the same issue?

Yes it is wrong in mine as well, GoG installation all in english

Identified description for sw1h53  "No, now get back to work!" identified name "Yes, you are free to go."

sw2hd2 identified name is false (Thanks for your... uh... help. Goodbye.), description text is correct

 

Fault is in vanilla game, no mods and I did not use BWS at all.

I've Issued a Redmine bug. I guess BWS reinstall is a go, At the very least I should not suffer the Gui bugs this time around.

I was digging into my BG2 install freeze, and I think it may have something to do with the Ascension mod - after redownloading all the BG2 mods during the initial phase, BWP froze up before Ascension downloaded.

Description of "Kreso's selection" is this:

 

 

"This selection takes a minimalist approach, enhancing the original game content without adding any new NPCs or large expansions or encounters. The AI is not changed, so the difficulty will be the same as the original game."

 

 

So why then it contains both new NPC's and SCS with difficulty enhanced encounters and Ascension?

The selections and descriptions definitely need a major overhaul IMO and the only real way to find out exactly what you want and what works for you is to try and try again unfortunately. Start with a preset that looks decent to you and work for there, make sure to regularly use the 'Import Selection to File' option to save your mod selection for next time too. The amount of time it takes to install a mod setup can take a REALLY long time and it's very possible you'll make yourself sick to death of Chapter One of the game while you test out mods but it's worth it once you know exactly what you want. Just one tip while you're testing out what you want and what you don't want, leave out Sword Coast Stratagems until you're sure because it adds about half an hour at least to the time it takes to install all of your mods. If you're plan on using SCS, add it to your mod setup only when you're sure about eveything else.

Maybe it would be a good idea if people start to share their BWS-Selection.ini , with descriptions and thoughts.

[lawofzero]

Not a bad idea, probably deserves it's own thread. The thing is, when EET and IWD-in-EET become officially available in BWS, a lot is probably going to change in that regard. Personally I've just been messing around with BG1EE until it happens and I'm getting more and more impatient as time goes by Want to play so badly but also want to wait for EET until I do so.

 

The only real advice I could give is to look everything up. There is a button with an exclamation mark (!) on it when you select a mod in BWS, this will take you to that mod's homepage where hopefully the mod author has provided adequate information. What I usually do personally is start off with the 'recommended' selection and work from there. Generally, it selects the quality stuff and leaves out the questionable stuff and beyond that it is up to your personal taste in custom NPCs and Quests etc. The only section I go through with a fine toothed comb is the 'rules and tweaks' section but again, the 'recommended' selection is mostly spot on with this for me with just a few changes here and there.

Hello I've got some problems and questions:

1) with character set. During all BWS installation some strange incomprehensible sentences appears like that :

"D:\BWP>Tmp.bat

‘¨áâõ¬õ íõ ó¤àõâáï íàù⨠óúàçàííûù ¯óâì.

D:\BWP>"

Actually in this line the installation stops and continues only after force reboot.

2) in installation of each mod BWS writes:"ERROR: No translation provided for @56". Is it normal?

Here's my weidu.log:https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing

[lawofzero]

To me that looks like problems with different languages. Maybe you are running a non-english language for your game or maybe some mods haven't been 100% translated in their setup files? My guess is that some descriptions are simply off in some setup files and you have nothing to worry about. For eg. that is how something like Russian or Japanese would appear if your system is US English and your font doesn't support the character set.

[Arm-chair]

I see. And is it possible to make BWS to skip some obligatory mods or their components? Like lolfixer, because I have an error with its component and I can't continue the setup without it.

 

"D:\BWP>Tmp.bat

‘¨áâõ¬õ íõ ó¤àõâáï íàù⨠óúàçàííûù ¯óâì.

D:\BWP>"

Actually in this line the installation stops and continues only after force reboot.

Despite problems with different languages, I'd like to know what it writes. Anybody knows where I can get the translators?
