FinnJO's Subrace Mod component 2 reverted from Expert thanks to Lollorian's new patch; updated Wheels of Prophecy to v4 (new French translation); updated download links for Animus, Coondred, Crusader Pack, Full Plate and Packing Steel, Legion of Hell, Polytweak, Volcanic Armoury and Wheels of Prophecy thanks to Gay Lord

 

The auto-updating code has been revised but you'll have to download again to get it because the old code wasn't able to update itself...

FEATURE REQUEST

 

After BWS is finished downloading all the mods it can, have the DL screen include the DL links of the mods it couldn't DL.

 

Currently, I'll run BWS and it will DL many, but not all of the mods.  So I'll run it again to DL more, and keep doing this until most of the mods are DLd.  At this point BWS will indicate certain mods couldn't be DLd, and you have to DL them manually.  However, all it lists are mod names. I have to go Back, click to list the links of all the mods, which aren't sorted, click in the area and scroll up/down (since CTRL-A and PgUP and PgDN don't work), copy the text, paste the text in a text editor, then use the search feature to find each mod I'm missing in order to get the DL link for that mod, and repeat this search for every mod that's missing.  It's not terrible, but it is a hassle.

It still overwrites the CRE files though... should still remain expert (but the note about the BGT intro bug can be removed)

You should be able to click 'p'rovide and then 'd'ownload manully and it will open a browser for each one so you can manually download.  It then expects you to move the files to the BiG World Downloads folder before continuing.

Thanks for correction.  Back to Expert it is.

This is the area I'm talking about.  It would be nice if links accompanied the names.

Well!  Huh.  How about that.  You're pretty powerful agb1, to be able to code a new feature instantly, and then teleport the code into my computer.  I mean, it's not like that feature was always there and I just didn't know how to use it. 

[agb1]

Feature has been implemented.

[Gay Lord]

Those mediafire links are useless - they would be changed after few downloads to completely non-working links. No, you cannot get them from generated html - I've tried, it worked and then site detect it and enable chapta. 

I suspected that might be the case, which is why I included the page links along with the DL links, so you guys can decide which to use.

 

BWS problem:

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

 

Won't load.

[agb1]

I made some mistakes again in the auto-update code, it seems.  Please try again with latest.

BWS 64f8dce8a995

 

No crash, no errors, no unlink messages.

 

The Darkest Day, which was also deselected along with Region of Terror in previous version, is now correctly(?) selected.

 

Possible tiny gui problem with BWS

Spoiler

CHARACTER-KITS - Oversight component 0007 is preselected as seen in image above, yet there's no dash in the Oversight box indicating a subcomponent has been chosen, as you can see with the Paladins of Faerun mod below it.

 

Is this intentional or a bug?

 

EDIT

 

Is it... an oversight?

Yes, there seem to be some glitches in the code that updates the "status" of the parent checkboxes.  I haven't tracked them down yet.  It is visual only, not a functional problem.

Maximized selection, mod conflicts from preselections:

 

Spoiler

[agb1]

Those are all "notices" (see the **) and not solved automatically because it's considered safe to combine those components, if you want, (by right-clicking and choosing "ignore") but we are showing that if you do combine them then there will be some "conceptual" conflict... for example, Spell Revisions modifies fiends and celestials and their respective summoning spells, so if you install aTweaks or PnP celestials also, you are losing some of Spell Revisions' changes.

[Gay Lord]

Thanks Agb.

 

BWS is saying Big World Fixpack is missing from download folder.  I have the latest BWF master.zip, so I'm guessing BWS is looking for an older version?

[agb1]

BWS is set to download the Fixpack again for every install now because I saw cases where a change was made but the size (which is how BWS checks for an update) didn't change because the net +/- worked out to zero.

[Gay Lord]

How imperative is it to disconnect from the internet during installation?  I've disabled my security software (except firewall), so shouldn't that be enough?  Going several days without internet is brutal.

 

Also, if you recall. I wanted to change the rep penalty for pickpocketing  http://www.shsforums...ket-punishment/

 

How do I change the value during installation?

 

And again, thank you so much for all your time and help, and all the time and energy you're devoting to this project!!

[agb1]

It isn't really necessary to disconnect -- I never do...  It is just a good security precaution when you've disabled protective software.

How do I change the value during installation?

Right click on the mod and select "pause before installing" ... or more simply, choose "pause after extraction" on the tab just before you start the install ... and then edit the mod's files before letting BWS run the installer.
