[Vlan]

Thanks for the hard work man.

encountered this error during a test installation:

You can try to repair the problem and start the installation of the component again. In this case please select "retry" after the repair.

It was 1999 since last I played BG1, and life got in the way of ever completing BG2, so it's pretty amazing to see how far the community has taken these games and run with them!  I'm having a lot of fun revisiting BG and exploring all the mods that now exist, so thanks much for all the fantastic work that's been done in stitching everything together with BGT/BWP/BWS!

 

 

I do have a couple of basic questions:

 

If I have a save game in progress and I reinstall the latest BWS with more or less the same (but updated) mods, will it break my saves and force me to start all over?  Is there a recommended way to incorporate updates for in-progress games?

 

Anyone know which mod nerfs Algernon's Cloak?  I'm unable to use it as an item to cast Charm and it's only +1 instead of +2 Charisma.

 

I'm running with a GOG "Recommended" BWS install with minor customized changes.

Well, technically no, but ... practically yes. You are better off restarting, as the dialog file your game used doesn't have any of the references the new content has and having creatures whose name is item description gets to be a bit odd.

There are several mods that edit the items... Enhanced BG2 might be one, but Item Revision is the one that edits the Algernon's Cloak.

 

Ouh, and thanks Quiet.

Thanks QUIET! THANKS

Fourth, I decided to add fixes for SCS reported by Mad Mate at G3 and Kreso here at SHS. They will be installed after unpacking the mod, but before installing BWFixpack. This will temporarily until fixes are included in BWFixpack or mod itself. 

I think it's well worth to use this for now, I don't know if it includes "breach on liches" fix, but includes almost all others, including some previously unknown.

Link is at the end of the post.

Yes, a known issue. Waiting for a new release.

Thanks.

Released a new version of BWS.

Would there be any value in someone ( me ) going through the BGT presets and documenting any installation problems with them ?

[Sergio]

I would like to ask how to add the text overhaul via BWS setup. I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere inside the selection list

Well, it might not have been included yet. In that case one should provide a link to it, so people(well Quiet) can check it out and add the link to the list of things.

Now you do it like any other mod that's not included, you just pause the install before the Generalized biffing and after the mods that allow it to be installed, and install it manually.

 

In the olden days there was a BWP request thread for this sort of things, and the update phase was way longer... as it was just the BWP and Leonardo working his magic.

Just for the record, the text overhaul was added by Quiet 2 days ago so you no longer need to manually add it.

Initially it was automatically installed addon for the English version of BWP. But now it is a separate mode that can be installed on your own desire. Use the new version of BWS from 2014.10.09.

I'm using that one and the textpack overhaul is nowhere to be found. Where is it supposed to be? Under minimods?

Where the mod Vecna ​​himself - in BG2 Quest Mods.

thank you. my error was so pathetic you would laugh at me if you knew what I did wrong

Edit: installing polytweak: There are a tons of info there,
http://forums.gibber...showtopic=25724
about when it should be installed, and it seems that the various components must be installed sometimes before, sometimes later SCS. can I install it safely?

Edit: had a weird error:

Trap Cap Removal (Ardanis/GeN1e) (BG2 Tweak Pack) was installed successfully.

Hi Quiet. As I tried to explain here, you don't need to move the CleanUp.bat but create an empty file named BiG World Project.installed in the BG2-folder. If you run the BiG World Install.bat after that, you'll get several options that include cleaning the folder.
If you run the Cleanup as you did, the batch just dies since Leonardo defines the variables used there in the main batch file and uses them in the CleanUp later. Without the variables, the batch just tells you that it does not understand what you want when %.% or %IF% are used and goes kaboom. You could also edit the Cleanup so the variables are defined, but the you'd have to look for changes more closely in the future.

(Not meant to be critique but if someone stumbles across that.)

Thank you, dabus. Will be fixed in the next release.

 

Options for selecting NPCs in level 1 NPC disappeared in this version.

Ooops. Will be returned.
