Thanks, anyone 100% sure it will work? You can tell by now already it will surely need modmerge?

Well, the modmerge is needed by the Steam and the GoG versions of the BG1EE+Siege of the Dragonspear -game to mod it. Only the beamdogs version of the SotDs doesn't need it, and that's because it's already the combined/unpacked version of the .zip file that's in the DLC folder in the BG1EE + SotDs combo game.

1 more question, you happen to know whether these - http://www.shsforums...ation-for-bgee/ http://www.shsforums...tion-for-bg2ee/ will work fine with the above version of the game? https://www.bundlest...e-complete-saga

[agb1]

ALIEN would know better, but in BWS we currently install only the BG2EE patch you linked above.  We do not install any Polish localization patches for BG1EE (there's a note from ALIEN in the files saying that "Custom Polish Language Localization of BG1EE is no longer needed").

i used the bat version of the last BiG-World-Fixpack and the planar sphere mod failed to install due to a missing iconv

 

when running the bat i got this time a "BiG_World_Fixpack" folder, and the last time the folder was "BiG World Fixpack"

that's why it can no more find the iconv to copy

 

and thank you for maintaining the fixpack

[agb1]

Ikki, the BiG World Fixpack folder is renamed with underscores (_) while the Fixpack script is running, but afterwards the folder is renamed back to the original name with spaces.  By the time the mods are being installed, therefore, the path with spaces (for copying iconv) should be correct.  I changed the patch for the planar sphere mod 4 days ago - I assume your failed installation was more recent than that?

[Ikki]

Yes i redid my installation last night

I don't know why but the BiG_World_Fixpack stay with this name after the batch closes itself

 

having the iconv folder in the root folder of the installation is a good idea, why not do it the easy way : put it in the same directory as the BiG World Fixpack.bat. That way it will get unzip in the correct directory automaticaly.

 

and that way a mod that was fixed with the BiG World Fixpack don't heritate a dependancy to an other mod ( and stay "standalone" )

[RutgerHauer]

@ ALIEN - Do you confirm what abg1 said?

[agb1]

Ikki - good idea.  I moved the iconv folder to the top level.

Not yet. IWD-in-EET is not yet available, still under construction.

However this is the normal IWDEE game that should be the basis for EET as well.

(all these bundled offers are not changing or modifying the original games, it is just commercial re-packaging, so it should not matter how you purchase the base games for EET.)

Hi abg1

If you have access to fishing for trouble master, there are missing EVALUATE_BUFFER in the following file

 

dialog.tpa
    COMPILE EVALUATE_BUFFER ~fishingfortrouble/dialog/yscwlwiz.d~
    
area_scripts.tpa
    COMPILE EVALUATE_BUFFER ~fishingfortrouble/area_scripts/ys0401.baf~

setup-fishingfortrouble.tp2
    EXTEND_TOP ~baldur.bcs~ ~fishingfortrouble/area_scripts/ysbaldur.baf~ EVALUATE_BUFFER

 

because the file yscwlwiz.d, ys0401.baf and ysbaldur.baf contain  with the EET patch variable

Updated.  Thanks Ikki.

Ran another EET test install yesterday which ran smoothly but it did pickup on this fixpack issue:

 

WARNING: file "setup-NTotSCv171.tp2" does not exist (this is the file targeted for patching in "SETUP-NTOTSCV171.TP2.PATCH" in "Big World Fixpack/NTotSCv171").

 

Also testing out this install I see this at the start of candlekeep.

How can I identify which mod causes the "actually leave him as is..." text? Seems spoilerish since I remember seeing it in bg2ee games too.

I also see jarlaxle quoting a bg2 quote but could just be the same mod as above.

Copy the game directory to somewhere else where so you can restore it from... and then install the LStest mod to the original location, and start the game, and see what it prints out.

I need to do some restructuring to make sure the LStest mod can be uninstalled, and the backup is done for this purpose ... it should be uninstallable in the nonEE game, but the EE game gives it a big stink eye for what ever purpose.

Maybe take a look at bg2600.bcs to see which mod has added this stuff to it. (Would be my first action before doing anything more elaborate...it is not a mod I have used so far on EET, so I do not recognize it)

Thanks for pointing me down the right path. I think it turns out it's some might & guile components (revised bards etc). 

I tried change-log first but didn't show much:

Spoiler

Mods affecting BG2600.BCS:

00000: ~CDTWEAKS/SETUP-CDTWEAKS.TP2~ 0 1101 // Do Not Reveal City Maps When Entering Area: Beta 5

00001: ~SANDRAHNPC/SETUP-SANDRAHNPC.TP2~ 0 2 // SandrahNPC for EET Core: v2.03.b

00002: ~SANDRAHNPC/SETUP-SANDRAHNPC.TP2~ 0 3 // Mods Compatibility: v2.03.b

00003: ~SANDRAHNPC/SETUP-SANDRAHNPC.TP2~ 0 12 // Mod Interactions: v2.03.b

 

Then trying LStest and making a new char and pausing ASAP shows this. Moved to different areas and if there was a bard npc in that area, would always see this line effect them (thus announce their presence in the area) before the scripts kicked in. Anyway fighter kit line seemed similar to a spell so found it via string search in NI. That indicates some might and guile scripts. Changelog on D5_BASP1.SPL:

Mods affecting D5_BASP1.SPL:

00000: ~KLATU/SETUP-KLATU.TP2~ 0 2110 // Treat all Innate Abilities as Non-Magical (Unaffected by Wild/Dead Magic and Silence): 1.7

 

Can I determine if it's this component or might and guile from the above?

The klatu component only sets a flag in the spl file. What causes your complaint is the mod that actually introduces the spl to the game.

 

Mods affecting BG2600.BCS, they do other things and have nothing to do with the issue (Sandrah adds creatures and an item - cdtweaks does what it says in the description).

It's just a spell in the CLAB table that gives a bonus spell slot.  It is applied passively.  Unfortunately the SPL files somehow had a string reference attached to the "spell name" offset, so even if it is applied passively, the text in that string appears in the dialogue window.

 

Thank you - I have hundreds, maybe thousands of .SPL files in my various mod folders and subfolders, some of which are very old and were created when I was a rank amateur.  I can't check each and every one by hand, so reports like this are very useful to track down the errant strings.

 

This has been corrected in my internal version of the mod.  I'm going to upload the update very soon - there are a couple of structural changes so I will upload the mod as soon as the BWS folks tell me they are ready for it.

Thanks! It's all good, I'm happy I'm slowly getting better at tracking down such issues.
