Problem with Thalantyr discussed in this post and following: http://www.shsforums...220#entry596461

 

Problem with Imoen Friendship installation here: http://www.shsforums...217#entry596251

About this last one, it appeared only if installed together with Ascalon's.

The Thalantyr issue seems to be related to some potions from the AC-Quest for the werewolf at High Hedge. They are not correctly patched into the shop in your install. This one, and the other one in your installation (The Beregost math quest) could not be reproduced. In my own install of the mod, none of these problems exist.

The Imoen Friendship points to an older version of the mod that still required Fixpack patching for EET - something obviously went wrong with that patch for you. The mod meanwhile has been updated for support of all games without patch. If any problem existed, it should by now be solved. The patch used an older method for UIT-8 which has now been changed to current iconv method.

It is possible that the wrong append of one mod to Imoen's banter file caused the issue for the other mod. There is no other connection between the two mods.

I have two installs of EET and second one has AC-Quest install, and it also has error Blash2 mentioned, when i load my first one's save game. It's not only Thalantyr, but other sellers too. I could buy this "empty item" but then it becomes unremovable, and i couldn't see it in shadow keeper. Sorry, couln't check that on nearinfinity now.

Just to summarize:

BWS installs AC_Quest under *BG1EE Mods compatible with EET that must be installed after EET* and it used this mod release https://github.com/w...ive/master.zip.

This is the configuration suggested by the EET-Compatibility list as well.

(It works in my own install but not for some other users.)

 

Looks like the EET compatibility of the mod needs to be re-checked by the author. I am not sure what actions BWS can take at this moment.

Marking it red is more than enough right now

So I'm currently exploring ( not guaranteeing anything here ) a .net solution to replace the BiG World Setup that can make use of the existing database of .ini's etc.

Hi, if you need technical information, feel free to PM me.

Thank you for the offer, i've been spending most of my free time on xcom 2 lately with the expansion and all but i'll probably go back to this after.

This is an attempt to get a couple of bugs sorted out.

 

I have a work-around myself, but I am hoping that somebody who knows who to contact will read this and pass the information along.

 

The problem with the Ascalon mod is that Geraldo the Magnificent tells you do go to his house to the west. It is actually to the east!!!

Maybe another hemnisphere? The mod was written in german and even in the original language it is *westen*, i.e. west.

The other problem is with The Grey Clan Episode. After talking to Jusam there is an attack by 6 Grey Clan Bandits. After killing them, a spy should turn up and send you to a house in the North to rescue another spy. He doesn't turn up in my current set-up with BWS. (He always has whenever I have installed the mod before) This is what @Artemius_I said:

It's got nothing to do with charm (which shouldn't cause any issues anyway). It simply bugs out occasionally. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I'm guessing sometimes the bandits don't increase the global that counts their deaths when they die. I've done the fight, had the bug happen, reloaded and tried again and it worked.

The global variable is Global("BW05_TGC1","GLOBAL",2).

Whilst he says it is erratic, in my set-up he NEVER turns up. I tried 6 times. However using Shadowkeeper to set the global to 2 does rectify the problem.

 

It sounds a bit like the bug that there used to be in Candlekeep where even after killing all the rats, the fact that you had done so wasn't recognised. Until a fix came along we had to create an extra rat and kill it.

The problem may be here, in BG0600.bcs (when we talk of an EET game)

IF
    NumDead("BW05BAAT",6)  // Grey Clan Bandit
    Global("BW05_TGC1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetGlobal("BW05_TGC1","GLOBAL",2)
        SetGlobal("BW05_BanditAttack","GLOBAL",0)
END

i played through this a couple of days ago with it perfectly working. It may be that you have a mod installed that blocks things from happening in that area? Any means you can look at it, maybe with Near Infinity?

Or look for that file in your override folder and post it here (the file, not the contents).

I don't know whether any of my mods affect the area:

Here is my Weidu log.

If anybody knows if any of those mods affect the area, please could you let me know.

 

You have the same Grey Clan version installed that runs perfectly in my own EET Install. No idea which mod may affect the area script.

It would be helpful if you could find ar0600.bcs in your game/override folder and post it. And another file named BW05Baat.cre.

[Roxanne]

I couldn't find the paper-clip for attaching files so I will give the file name followed by the contents via notepad.

Hope that works OK. That anti-spam checker is a real pain for those of us with shaky hands.

Something looks odd in ar0600.bcs but there is nothing much to analyse without having the files themself.

Maybe you can upload them to dropbox and just post the link here?

[Roxanne]

Roxanne, here are the files.

https://www.dropbox....05baat.cre?dl=0

https://www.dropbox....AR0600.bcs?dl=0

Thank you for the effort.

I am sure the problem is not with Grey Clan mod but with the new version of another mod interfering in the area script.

However, I cannot prove it right now, I have the older version of that mod without any issue. Not sure what BWS can do, in case my suspicion turns out to be correct. There is further data required.

Issue stays open for the moment.

[Blash2]

Considering many download links in BWS point to the "master" in Github, the only way would be to individually check every mod to verify if it's been recently updated?

This is no problem, I know which mod has added the block. I just cannot verify at this moment if that code is looping or not, I would need the rest of the code to see what it does elsewhere. Could be done manually but it is too cumbersome to do.

[Blash2]

What mod is it?
