So after a lot of research I think the big world fix pack is broken and not actually patching anything. I am having several errors in the installation of mods. Turns out all of these errors are older ones that were supposedly solved and the fixpack just isnt applying them.

Some of the fixes in the "BWP fixpack" are ancient... and so they don't need to be applied to the mods that have been updated, but they are patches have check code ... so the old ones won't need to be applied, while they can be in the case someone want to use an older version of the mods.

 

The word is in quotes cause the BWS actually uses an updated version of the one the BWP actually uses.

 

So the patches that aren't applied are no concern to you.

Attach the files to this forum, and you can do that only if you upload them as a .zip files. Uploading them as .debugs takes multiple times more space, anywhere from 10x to 1000x, which is why you can't upload them nor anyone will be downloading them, they are just regular .txt files ... so zipping them up will be far more beneficial to everyone.

You'll need to find SCRLZZ.itm in one of your folders and copy it and drop it in your overirde folder before SCS starts or it won't install. Just do a search for it and list the diff mod folders you find it in if you could.

This file does not exisits within the extracted files. Where would it be located exactly?

[Hack'N'Slash]

Depending on what other mods you have installed it'll be in one of their backup folders. I just did a file search on my entire BG2 folder and found it in about 5 locations.

AND NONE OF THOSE SHOULD EVER be used. As those are backups, not the real files... what you should do is to --changelog the file and then maybe use that as a result top find the messup mod that should be blasted to the modhell, as that gives them the context they are used in.

Meaning that 5 mods made a backup of that file and provided their modified versions to override but the last one (to be identified with change-log) deleted it from override? How?

[The Imp]

How?

How I would do this is DISABLE_FROM_KEY , but that's evil.

So I deleted everything, started over and got to the same spot. The scrlzz file is already in my over ride folder. What else can I try?

Okay so sorry for misunderstanding. I was supposed to overwrite it with another version.

I found the only way around the SCS 'Out of Memory' error was by selecting the third option for 'Smarter Priests'.  But I still need to get BWS to pause before installing SCS, make sure that the file is dropped in the override and manually run the scs batch and install that way.

 

The Imp, last mod to install was Refinements before SCS. CDTweaks, Item Revisions also were listed when I did run the change-log on Summon Cow. 

[subtledoctor]

@Hack'N'Slash what version of Refinements?

 

Try it with v4 rc16... (currently the latest release on Github)

[Hack'N'Slash]

subtledoctor... mate, had a few diff installs. Non Refinements and my spells weren't food. I'll play with this one as it's stable for an EET Megamod really.

[Higara]

So I got the game to successfully work. However a tactics install seems to be very buggy. RoT for BGEET crashes at the end of the dungeon. The priest spells menu doesnt work. You can select a few spells then the menu bugs out and wont let you add all the spells to you spells slot. I have no idea what might be causing it. Also SCS's install is freaking long.

SCS is what it is - BWS has no influence on that mod and how the author choses to install it. Any previous discussions about this was fruitless.

If there are bugs in RoT for EET, the author will be interested in the details as the conversion is quite new and testing helps to improve it.

What is the place that is crashing, ( press X in game will give you the name of the area)

[Higara]

Ah so

Ah sorry I mean the starting dungeon where you meet Drizzit. It was working up till I talked to him and tried to select an option.

Yeah its no problem, just pointing it out. 

 

The big thing I am worried about is the bugs with the priest book menu. I am not sure if it is SCS, Faith and Powers, Divine Powers, or something else that is bugging it out.

[Ikki]

I just tried this first dungeon with EET RC9 and i don't have problem with Drizzt

Did you install the mod in English, or one of the other langage ?
