Sure, I can attach the mod selection; I saved two versions, one from before I removed conflicts and one after. It asks me to remove PnP Celestials and something else, I forget what exactly, that doesn't play nice with Spell Revisions. Generally I click on Spell Revisions and say remove conflicts with mod, since I'm assuming that disables the components that don't like it.

Conflicts Removed: https://www.dropbox....t-free.ini?dl=0

 

I did a fresh install of both Baldur's Gate and BWS prior to running the setup. In my first attempt to do the setup the other day, the one where I kept having to hit Y through it, Microsoft Security Essentials got worked up during the silent part and I constantly had to select yes or hit enter when bats ran through it. That hasn't happened on future attempts though.

 

Now that I'm awake again, I can run through it again and see if the error is replicated. If it is, I can type it up. I didn't think to the first time because I'd expected it to be just a warning that it was going to be doing something akin to the silent installation part again, so I'm sorry about that.

Lots happening today here! Mixed it up a bit and ran a bg2ee tactical preset install to see how it would go (commit f0c8141). Obviously not super important, just a quick test.

The Might & Guile stuff has been fixed, it's now at 3.0.1.

 

As for NPC_EE, I don't understand how that error is possible. The code looks like this:

ACTION_FOR_EACH char IN ~%tutu_var%branwe~ ~%tutu_var%branwe5~ ~o#bran~ ~o#bran25~ BEGIN
  ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~%char%.cre~ BEGIN
    COPY_EXISTING ~%char%.cre~ ~override~
...

 

If it doesn't detect branwe5.cre in your game, it shouldn't try to copy it; if it does detect the file, it shouldn't *fail* to copy it.  ?????

 

EDIT - found the error, and fixed it!

https://github.com/s...eases/tag/2.6.2

 

BWS should pick this up automatically.

So far there has been no sign of the previous error, though I don't seem to be out of the woods and its forced me into a corner again.

"The "BiG World Setup" immediately begins the real installation by the single WeiDU setups.


To prevent problems during the patching process, close your additional security programmes. Before doing that, close all open Internet connections for safety reasons.

You can interrupt the installation safely. As soon as you press the exit-button, the BiG World Setup waits until the current component is installed by the WeiDU setup.
If the software lasts a little longer, please leave it alone.
In general, you will be able to see some information for the installation, but not always. Then pay attention whether the hard disk is active, your CPU is claimed or changes are made to the Debug file. If all this is not the case, something could be stuck.

After the application was closed and you start it anew, you can choose to resume the installation from the point where you left it. An installation on several days is thus quite possible, if you do not want to let your computer run alone."

During this stage, I have to hit Y owing to this:

Spoiler

"WARNING: file "Temp\setup-AvengerKit.tp2" does not exist (this is the file targeted for patching in "SETUP-AVENGERKIT.TP2.PATCH" in "Big World Fixpack/AvengerKit").  This might mean you did not extract all of the files of the mod, or it might mean that the patches for this mod were made for a different version of the mod than the version that you are using (you would see this message if the version you are using moved or renamed the tp2 file).

Do you want to try to apply other patches for this mod anyway?  If a target file is different from the original file that was used to create a patch, the patch might fail completely (making no changes) or it might fail partially (making some changes) or it might succeed with "fuzz" (if all of the lines to change are still in the file, but some other lines were added in between).  If partial patching occurs, the mod might fail to install or manifest other problems later.  If in doubt, please visit one of the modding forums and ask for help.

[Enter Y if you want to try patching anyway, anything else to skip patching this mod.]"

I then have to do this repeatedly for mods (Bonehill, CtB and it keeps going on). After a while this stops and it goes back to normal.

But now I'm left with this, after 4 hours of installation.

I'm somewhat lost at this point as every time I try again, I encounter new and completely different errors. I'm forging on with the setup for the time being to see if anything comes of it, though I'm expecting the setup may fail or when I run it, it will crash.

 

I don't suppose there's a list that compares what is in Recommended vs. what is in Maximized? If there is, I could bump it down to Recommended and then pick up what I actually may want from the Maximized list, since I'm sure that'll cut down dramatically on the unnecessary class kits and allow me to focus on installing the quest mods and what not.

[agb1]

The color coding of the component icons corresponds to the Recommended (green), Standard (blue), Tactical (yellow) and Expert (red) pre-selections.

You're playing unwilling test subject, Samael, as I haven't done a maximized install with BGT since I revised the Fixpack to do extra validation checks for all of its patches.

That's why you're getting those prompts at the beginning - several of the patches are out of date and need updates, and you're the first person trying those mods in an install since I updated the script, so you're bumping into them.

I'm sorry for the trouble you're having as a result - but rest assured, in a day or two we'll have these kinks ironed out and it should be smooth sailing for quite a while after that.

As for that last prompt, which mod is asking that question? It's fine to proceed there - you're going to install IA later. It's probably one of the patches that got skipped earlier that normally suppresses that prompt.

[agb1]

Removed outdated Yasraena patches; corrected patches for AvengerKit, AzenMOD, CtB, RevisedBattles, TDD, Planar Sphere Mod.

Still a few things left to fix from zonx's report, but progress. Samael, you ran into some of these too, I believe.

[Samael]

Well, the mod that said I'd have to start over or install later appears to be Infinity Animations (specifically the core mod). It also having issues with Might & Guile just now as follows:

You can try to repair the problem and start the installation of the component again. In this case please select "retry" after the repair.

If you don't want to spent time for
that now, you can also continue without the component or exit the program. The BiG World Setup will continue with the installation of that component.
Enter [r]etry, [c]ontinue or [e]xit.

 

Retrying doesn't advance it. So I continue and then get:

It repeated this for several Might and Guile things but eventually continued - it did prompt one that didn't say Retry on it (just continue and exit) but I kind of went through it too fast there that time.

 

All told, after its gone for its final lap of this, I think I'll probably drop it down to Recommended and start going through the Recommended list to see if I'm missing anything significant. Does Recommended drop all the various mods like CtB, Darkest Day, Secret of Bone Hill and the various other standards? If so, when I select them, will it tell me if its lacking anything they need (akin to how TS asked for Baldurdash) to help smooth their inclusion?

 

In the meantime, I'm gonna keep going with it as is. If nothing else, it means other folks may have a smoother ride in future.

 

The BWS is a godsend though on the whole, I still have memories of constant crashes in Beregost from way back in trying to do it all manually. The downside is, I guess, the time component and sometimes things getting through that ought not to. I'm not really a fan of Dark Horizons nor of Askaria, Full Plate or Xan Alternative Soundset, I'll say, which tend to sneak through on Tactical or Maximized ones - Full Plate, despite fundementally changing gameplay seemed to be a Tactical one in the past, I think. Trying to manually incorporate additional quest mods in myself, being kind of compulsive about that kind of thing, though lead to a lot of unforseen side effects - Orc As started appearing in Baldur's Gate's early random encounters, impenetrable to non-magical weapons, due to Tomoyo. That and Duergar in Nashkel Mine and Dark Horizon's high level enemy encounters in early game locations like the Gnoll Stronghold leave me unsure what to pick myself. I think I'm starting to figure it out though in regards to content at least.

 

Edit: Also yeah, I think I did! Mostly the avenger kit seemed to give me some grief in getting it installed, I think. I'll keep on going with the setup til it comes to its end in the meantime! I'm still occasionally getting stuff along the lines of this:

 

The functionality of this component is either already included
Un-Nerfed THAC0 Table (Tweaks Anthology (pre-release)) was skipped.

If a component was skipped during the install, this indicates a conflict or dependency that's still missing in the BWS. Either a similar component is already installed
and thus this message is harmless, or the component depends on a mod that's missing. If you don't want to continue after your analysis, you can stop the BiG World
Setup now and resume from this point later.
Enter [c]ontinue or [e].

 

I think there may be some redundancy?

[subtledoctor]

 also having issues with Might & Guile just now

 

These are fixed.

[Samael]

I know they are now - I was just mentioning things as they came up, I've been running the setup for a while now.

[agb1]

I think CtB, TDD, SoBH, planar sphere, avenger kit, azengaard tactical encounters and a few others will be OK next time. I updated those patches just a few minutes ago.

I definitely would agree that it's better to start from Recommended and then select specific additional mods that you want, rather than starting from Maximized. But Maximized is *intended* to go smoothly too, at least from an installation perspective (in actual gameplay, Maximized throws balance completely out the window, and you will need to resort to console commands sometimes as we still haven't discovered / solved all of the compatibility issues)..

That Un-Nerfed THAC0 table component 2240 of Tweaks Anthology apparently has REQUIRE_PREDICATE NOT FILE_EXISTS checks for both the RoT and TDD install markers. Same for 2250, 2260, 2270, 2280, 2290 (other spell table components). We were missing conflict rules for these in BWS; now added.

@zonx - Rjali's link has been fixed. I've also removed Avi Maya from the BG2EE selection as we don't have EE compatibility patches for it yet. I see ALIEN added it on 2016-09-26 with some other mods, and perhaps overlooked the lack of compatibility; or possibly I've overlooked the patch. Either way, it's out for now. I've also reported the Mirror Image Fix install error (only happens if Spell Revisions #0 is skipped). With subtledoctor's changes and my other recent patch corrections, I think that takes care of everything you reported.

... and that's all from me for the next while, as I'm going to sleep. Samael, thanks for your reports! I hope your next try will go much more smoothly.

Edited by agb1, 05 December 2016 - 09:30 PM.

[Samael]

Thank you so much! I will use the Recommended list next time and then add to it accordingly, but if my struggles with it have helped make it smoother in the future for anyone else, I think my stress with it was worth it in the end. Currently its running through Sword Coast Stratagems on the current setup and it hasn't hiccupped in sometime, at least!

[Samael]

Okay, near completion, its given up for wont of Nightfarer's Item Patcher.

 

##### Nightfarer's Item Patcher #####
The mod was not found.
After the mod is present, the install may be started another time.
Enter [r]etry, [c]ontinue or [e]xit.

 

Being that retry and continue do nothing, I'm forced to exit. It does it again when I boot it back up but it never provides me with a link to download it and googling it turns up no such mod. I believe I've come to the end of this setup; I'll be trying a recommended one with whatever I can reconstruct. Thank you for all the assistance! I hope, if nothing, else my reports have helped in bug testing at least!

[GrimLefourbe]

I don't know if that helps but I have 2 different configurations of mods with only 1 causing the out of memory error. The only mod added on BGEE portion of the game in the one that fail is White NPC.

 

I'm retesting right now, i'll upload the .ini files if you're interested afterwards.

 

Edit : Nvm, ran the same config again and I did not have out of memory issue. I may do more testing but i'm not promising anything.

No download link needed as you can find it in Fixpack (same for Cre_Patcher - not used in BWS - and Area_Patcher.)

[Samael]

Unfortunately, BWS couldn't find it and I'm not sure how to help it, exactly.

[Nightfarer]

No idea about that as I am not involved in BWS. I don't really know why it says not found

[Samael]

If you can link me to it, I can add it to the downloads folder; now I've started it up again, it should allow me to find it manually by taking me to the location but now the program is giving me errors when I try.

 

For those who are working on it, trying to cancel out of (or sometimes trying to continue from, so I can get back to the main set up page) a faulty configuration is giving me "_Depend_SetModState could not activate 1560 = then a mod name.". All I wanted to do was get back to the main menu so I could reset the configuration, having removed a mod that I don't think I ought to have so I could do it again. I don't know what to do, the program seems to be resisting my efforts to use it more and more. I can't even quit out of it, I have to forcibly end the process.

Edited by Samael, 06 December 2016 - 01:01 AM.

[Nightfarer]

You can find it inside BiG World Fixpack, _Item_Patcher

 

About BWS can't say much... I don't use it... this is the reason I don't know why it says not found and how it handles it

Edited by Nightfarer, 06 December 2016 - 01:05 AM.
