Thank you for updating

I missed one on BG2EE, although it's I guess it's a little less cleancut. The SCS Component 4240 (convert wizard/priest HLAs to innate abilities) failed when trying to update CMGMIR25.CRE. A quick search reveals that this file comes from the mod Vampire Tales, and when I removed Vampire Tales from my install order, the SCS Component installed without issue. I can't find the exact log error messages though - it seems I overwrote the file before saving it

I think there is another problem.

 I am investigating this.

 

EDIT

Can you spawn CMGMir25 e.g. with console C:CreateCreature("CMGMir25") ?

Does she appear or does the game crash? If she appears, is there any oddity to observe?

Sorry, I deleted that install in the end as I decided I'd rather use the SCS component, so my current game doesn't have that creature. I can rerun the same configuration tomorrow and give it a go if that would be helpful though.

Actually my issue was this:

There have been reports about SCS choking on some file or another, often some random cre-file. In many cases the reason was neither SCS nor the mod providing the cre-file but some third mod's operation prior to SCS. So I want to make sure that we not simply say that mod A is conflicting with SCS component B, when maybe the source of the problem is completely different.

1. Setup-VampireTales.tp2 patch own CMGMIR25.CRE and CMGMIRI.cre:

COPY ~vampiretales/cre/CMGMIR25.CRE~ ~Override~
  SAY NAME1 @178
  SAY NAME2 @179
  SAY INITIAL_MEETING @180
   ....
  SAY PICKED_POCKET  @219
  SAY BIO @221

2. stratagem's component "4040" add persistent effect to some CRE files (opcode=295 "Graphics: Disable Permanent Death"):

SFO: Applying patch(es) to CRE file(s)  AERBOD01 AERIE AERIE10 ... CMGMIR25 CMGMIRI ... VALYG14 VALYG8 VALYG9 VICONI11 VICONI13 VICONI16 VICONI6 VICONI8 VICONI9 WILSON13 WILSON9 YOSHI10 YOSHI11 YOSHI12 YOSHI7 YOSHI8...

 

3. after processing two files are broken ("CRE v1" shifted to 256+8 bytes):

 

(AERBOD01, AERIE, AERIE10, ... have added effect and not broken after processing !!)

reasons:
- CMGMIR25.cre and CMGMIRI.cre from vampiretales package are initialy semi-broken, patching -> corruption
- bug in weidu

- ???

 

[Insomniator]

Searching scripts in other mods i found source of problem - in CMGMIR25.cre and CMGMIRI.cre offset to effects table pointed to start of file. EEKeeper change it to 0x4FC (end of file), probaly Crefixer(fj_cre_validity.tpp) do same offset.

 

patch to Setup-VampireTales.tp2 like:

COPY ~vampiretales/cre/CMGMIR25.CRE~ ~Override~

sz = SOURCE_SIZE

PATCH_INCLUDE ~vampiretales/fj_cre_validity.tpp~

SAY NAME1 @178
SAY NAME2 @179

...

COPY ~vampiretales/cre/CMGMIRI.CRE~ ~Override~

sz = SOURCE_SIZE

PATCH_INCLUDE ~vampiretales/fj_cre_validity.tpp~

SAY NAME1 @178
SAY NAME2 @179

and copy fj_cre_validity.tpp to "vampiretales/fj_cre_validity.tpp"

Can the vault mod and the critters mod (on beamdog forum) be added into the bws selection?

Which game are you talking about?

Vault is available for classic game and a renovated and debugged version exists for EET. There is no version existing for BGEE standalone game. All existing versions are available in BWS.

No idea about what you mean by *critters on bean dogs*,

[Miksip]

I used BWS to download all mods for my BWP installation, but it seems 2 of them are broken/not for classic.

 

Crossmod Banter Pack v15

wrong link - http://lynxlynx.info...Baldurs_Gate_II

right link - http://gibberlings3....ds&showfile=704 which works for BWP.

 

Morituri Kit v3

wrong version again - http://www.baldursga...php?topic=142.0

right one you can find here - http://chosenofmystr...topic.php?t=142

 

Can you replace the links or add a notice that they are not for classic edition ( not sure if they work in EE).

[Miksip]

Then why are they working for my BGT game, but files that BWS downloads do not?

[The Imp]

The TeamBG and CoM sites are legacy forums, and today, they have the same maintainer, Solaufein, who has them under the baldursgatemods dot com.
... the files are likely, the exact same one.

2) The AC_Quest also adds items to the Highhedg.sto for the werewolf quest in the house nearby. In my installation there are no broken items in Thalantyr's store.

(Quoting this because I can't find the original report.)

As far as I can see all Ascalon's Questpack adds to stores are Guril berries that use an existing BAM. No items are added to Thalantyr's store.

I am coming back to this older unsolved issue.

I have a new EET install with The AC_Quest included (in english). I have just visited the High Hedge, met the Werewolf and his wife outside the compound. Talked to Thalantyr, checked his store and all.

Everything is fine.

The whole issue must have been a local install issue of the guy who reported the issue. I cannot find anything wrong in this episode of the quest.

[jastey]

Thank you for the report!

Ascalon's Questpack is in the process of being updated. Once the testing is done, I'll give the new donwload link.

Anyone interested can get the new version from here (where it says "Download Version 7.0").

It's great , a working version of Breagar

 

but do something for the english translation, very few player will use a german only mod

 

( i have done a fix version (for the 7.00b_20150127 version) for my install, and i tried to use the the english translation :

- it's missing some file, that i had to copy from the german folder,

- from what i remembered, the english translation was quite strange and should be corrected )

[jastey]

Ikki,

some files are already translated (and should be in good shape) and included in the package. For the rest I'd need a volunteer..

The translation that exist(ed) in the English Textpack is not recommended. It was not only bad English, it didn't translate the original meaning at many places, either.

[Ikki]

Jastey,

some files are already translated (and should be in good shape) and included in the package

i only play with the v7.00b_20150127 version on EET, not the last one

 

and i use the translation in the mod folder, not from the textpack

 

to get a working english translation that's what i did ( some lines ended up in german but not a lot)

 

the following files where missing (or missing string) in the english folder and exists in the german folder, so i picked the missing string/ file there

- ACACQ.TRA (now is translated in your version)

- ACBELT.TRA

- ACBGQE.TRA

- ACBREB.TRA ( string @983  and @984  missing)

- ACBREPID.TRA

- ACFRIEND.TRA (string @221 and @222  missing)
- ACSTATES.TRA

- ACTOD.TRA

- acvirgi.tra

- acvirgi2.tra

- SETUP-ACBRE.tra ( some string (@50001 to @50019 and @60001 to @60010) where missing in the english file)

 

it's in the file SETUP-ACBRE.tra that the english is strange

 

i didn't take note so i cannot say more

 

and kudos for making a working EET version,

[jastey]

Thanks for the EET version go to White Agnus!

Thanks for your findings, the translation will be checked thoroughly before being released.
