Got this right now:

 

WARNING: File "ajantisbg2/setup-ajantisbg2.tp2" contains 'VERSION ~14~' instead of expected 'VERSION ~13~'!  This is the file targeted for patching in "SETUP-AJANTISBG2.TP2.PATCH" in "Big World Fixpack/ajantisbg2".  This might mean that the patches for this mod were made for a different version of the mod than the one that you are using, or this might mean that the mod was already patched and then removed from the list in the "BWP_Fixpack.installed" file without restoring the original pre-patched files.
 
Do you want to try to apply the patch anyway?  If the target file is different from the original file that was used to create the patch, then 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'm entering Y, will I have problems?

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.
 
If I click on retry, many "file not found" messages appear.. it seems there has been a problem in unpacking, maybe?
 
I attached my selection.. Is Region of Terror needed for anything else? Do you know if not installing it, as I did, will break anything?

Did you patch RoT with this http://www.shsforums...ttach_id=29579?

 

Not installing RoT breaks nothing for the rest of the install.

I selected everything you see in the .ini, and cleared all the warnings BWS gave me before install.. maybe BWS should be set to install the patch you linked for EET installs?

Sure.

It just requires some pre-requisites from the author. Who has been informed about the options what is needed but not responded yet.

The patch could either work like TDDz or be provided via BWFixpack, it is up to Ikki to decide.

Wand Case Mod entry needs to be updated to point to the correct download location, or at least to recognize the manually selected file.

This download page has three different versions of the mod without date, version number, or anything to see which is the right one. And on the next page are another six versions!!!!

Hosted on some obscure server. We should really get rid of such stuff in BWS!!!!!!!

Well, in this case I agree ;) Not installing it in my definitive install.

You could "suspend" it from BWS until a proper source for download has been provided by the author.

Thanks for the hint.

 

Wand Case has become component of EET Tweaks by agreement of the authors of both mods

Typical of small mods yeah, that there will be posts after the main release post that carry an archive that could be found. BUT IF YOU GO AND look at the actual evidence, you'll find that:

BACKUP ~WandCase/Backup~
AUTHOR ~Mortianna (eisaugen@yahoo.com)~
VERSION ~v1.3~

The first post from Mortianna has the primary file/version ... as said in the change-log on the same post, which by the by has the "Post edited by Mortianna on January 2016" mark too, if that doesn't make it obvious then I have to ask: What would ?


Edited by The Imp, 29 July 2017 - 11:06 AM.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

This component is not available for your language
NPC voices (EET (Enhanced Edition Trilogy) Tweaks) was skipped.
 
Is it normal? My installation is in English.

Is correct

 

EET_Tweaks component 1060 only for Polish=D:EET_Tweaks(1060):PO

 

It adds voices for that language that the english version has from original install already.

This is component 3000=Add kit-change innate ability for multi-class NPCs from NPCs Enhanced for Everyone.

Something to report to that mod's forum.

The only dependency for that component is #2000, install kit-change innate ability for single-class NPCs.

Is there a bug in the mod, or is it just that BWS is skipping it?

Neither, I would say - it may be as simple as just having selected 3000 alone and BWS not having (yet) the dependency defined, so the mod skips it by itself, which is correct behaviour.

Could be improved by BWS pointing out the dependency.

 

@subtledoctor

Ability for multi-class NPCs needs ability for single-class NPCs=D:npc_ee(3000):npc_ee(2000)

would this be correct?

I confirm I did not select component 2000, just 3000. So yes, apparently that dependency has to be set in BWS.

Suggestion, mark "Protagonist can die" component of "EET Tweaks" as "Expert" (red colour).

 

More details here: http://gibberlings3....showtopic=28910

 

 

Second suggestion: could you name your commits with a reference to the changed content? "Final clean-up EET finished" forces to open every commit, one more word or two might help ;)
