"RE's "The Queen, by Domi" conflict with Kivan and Saerileth"

 

Nooooooo!!!! Someone fix it plz! I wanna gets it on with the Elf Queen

[jastey]

Dabus: Thank you for looking into this!

Thank you for explaining what the BWS comments mean. (I thought "0" was for the first input - English language). Loading the tras every time does dound like a very good idea, indeed. I will fix this tonight.

[Echoed Dreams]

So I have windows 8.1, which is why I have to run the BWS using the run as administrator button/command. Anyway, whenever I try to save or import or export my selection of mods, the file selector window opens, and then the application crashes. Oh, and I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I can't run debug using the run as administrator command thingy- it only works if I use the .vbs file; also, I tried saving and exporting and importing my mod selection using the .vbs file and oddly enough, it worked... Now I just need it to work with run as administrator... CURSE YOU, WINDOWS 8.1!

Have you tried the simple idiot-Windows 8.1 winner thing, install everything you intent to modify to your C drives user profile folder... C:\Users\<username>\ sub-folders ? Or make use of the other drives.

I'm having some kind of bug that "bleeds" seemingly random miscellaneous dialogue into item names and descriptions in shops.

 

Here are screenshots:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It even effects my wonderful Pack Mule mod! >=(

 

 

Here are my Debug and Weidu if anyone has any ideas of what causing this:

 

 BiG World Debug.7z   20.55K   227 downloads

 

 WeiDU.log   20.48K   245 downloads

I'm having some kind of bug that "bleeds" seemingly random miscellaneous dialogue into item names and descriptions in shops.

This is caused by one of the mods using the original in game files(from BG2) without renaming the item during the install, as the BGEE games dialog.tlk has different strings than the BG2, you get this sort of corruptions kinda.
It might be this: ~THALAN/THALAN.TP2~ #0 #0 // Thalantyr - Item Upgrade: v4.0
But I can't say for sure.

[Ser Elryk]

In installs I made prior to this one, the Thalantyr Item Upgrade was not yet included. But I still encountered the bug in the Smithy's shop in Beregost with one of the shields in his inventory. And the Pack Mule text was affected then as well. Is there nothing I can do except wait for a fix?

[The Imp]

Well, you can go and find what the exact item is, by buying it to a game, and saving the game, then you can use the EEKeeper to find out the items actual file name and then find out from which mod installs it and then you can go to that mods forum and "demand" EE update that fixes the issue... but that's really the only thing you can do.
Unless you wish to find all the items, edit them in your game and fix the name references in them and then start a new game.

*Long discouraged sigh* I have no idea what I'm doing... I opened up EEKeeper and found the file names of the affected items in Thalantyr's shop:

 

THBAG01
THBAG02
THBAG03
THBAG04
THBAG05

 

Then noticed some odd descriptions for some other items:

DEMOSUM4
MARILI
SW1H53
SW2HD2

 

And then several under Familiars as well:

FAMCAT25
FAMDUS25
FAMFAI25
FAMFER25
FAMIMP25
FAMPSD25
FAMQUA25
FAMRAB25

 

Still don't know what's affecting the different types of saddlebags in the Pack Mule mod either. =/

The thing here is, if the game you play is BG1EE, you'll never run into these, as they are the Throne of Bhall Familiars.

The SW2HD2 and DEMOSUM4 are in the vanilla BG1EE game, and their identified name string reference is 3250, that is "Thanks for your... uh... help. Goodbye." And I can't find a thing that uses those files with Near Infinity. Rest, I stopped searching.
Cheer up, it's not all bad.

Imp: One of the texts is from BG1NPC (Ajantis romance, to be precise), so I doubt that even a BG /BG:EE text hickup might be the problem that it would show mod texts in BG:EE, as BG:EE has even more text lines than BG (and the mod added strings are added to the dialog.tlk at the end - so these lines would point to a string far behind the last string in a classic BG install, if it makes sense).

 

Ser Elryk, are you sure not to have reinstalled mods / set up a changed Mega Mod install and then continued playing with a former save? That usually tends to mix up ingame texts.

[The Imp]

Imp: One of the texts is from BG1NPC

Yeah, but the thing is, the BG1EE dialog.tlk only has 32301* string references, now the almost vanilla BG2:ToB that I have has 74106* string references.. I am not totally sure it's exact vanilla... but it doesn't have tons of mod either way. Now if you heavily modify the BG1EE, you can arrive to the item references that the original BG2 used and the mess is, as can be seen if you do not update the Identified Name during the installation of the .itm file, as it would just pick up a random string from the existing file.

 

*I am not exactly sure these are exactly correct, but it's in the bold part. Read as, the BG2:ToB game has twice the amount of string references as the BG1EE !

[jastey]

So, the problem you are referring to originates from mods that use BGII ressources without checking compatibility with BG:EE? This is not what you said originally, unless I misunderstood. What I understood from your original post is that there are items both working in BGII and BG:EE, but in BG:EE some strings are changed so the descriptions do not work any more. Seeing that the strings in BG:EE point to mod added content I guess it's more the problem that the mod uses BGII ressources not present in BG:EE. (whatever - feel free to ignore me - I am just relieved it's not a big incompatibility thing between classic BG and BG:EE, as I thought when reading your original post.)

[The Imp]

@jastey: Well, I wouldn't use your words as the description of the problem, but I know that it's the same I tried to describe... and no, you won't be ignored. Ignorance breeds fear... and not puppy love.

[Ser Elryk]

Sorry for the late reply, jastey. Yes, I always restore a vanilla backup and start a new game before I alter anything regarding mods. Maybe it's just the Thalantyr Item Upgrade mod needs an EE update...? (Said the clueless guy, XD)

There should be a choice to whic HLA mod should go over the other. For example, using refinements + Rogue rebalancing makes 'Use any item' gets removed by Refinements.

But I do want it.

Easy, don't use the Refinements... how hard is it not to get that ?
See the Refinements removes that HLA to make space for the scroll use HLA and HLA innate spells etc. The thing you are not getting perhaps is that you have to choose. Or if you don't want to, make your own mod that fixes it so it looks exactly like you want it to. There perhaps could be other people that want it too.

[Sergio]

imp, you know that rogue rebalancing touch only thieves while refinements overhauls all the classes, I hope, right?

I'm searching for a easy way to avoid that or to have more customizability on the install process
