I feel like the advice is posted 10-20 times in different places.

[Blash2]

Got it ;-)

 

I attached the dreaded Red Fist Sabre, is anyone able to verify if it's set to work as the description says (30% stun chance), and in case to correct it? I also attached the effect table screenshot.

I would be grateful, that piece of metal cost me a little fortune and Thunderhammer won't hear about it

30% chance, 1 round stun. 

[Blash2]

So seems I've just been unlucky until now and just the proficiency had to be corrected. Thanks!

Just had a CTD. Attaching files.. any clues? Should I post it in the TobEx thread?

For the mantainers of the project: I have repacked the Stone of Askavar archive replacing the bugged Red Fist Sabre file. In a few words I replaced it with the one modified by me with Near Infinity with the correct proficiency field (long sword).

 

Since BWS doesn't accept the modified archive because the checksum is different, can you please make it accept this new version too? Or well, any solution to automatically apply the fix and thus avoid manually editing and placing the new file in the override folder would be good.

 

I'm attaching also the .itm file.

You can choose to provide the files yourself and then do so... or you could edit the file size marker... the former of course is easier.

[dabus]

Or add / make a pause and install yourself.

Um. It would be really nice if we would fix the Big World Setup as people find bugs. I would rather not suffer the same bug as blash2!

[Blash2]

First thing I'm posting the corrected file in the Stone of Askavar forum. I hope they'll repackage themselves. But I don't have great hopes since the mod seems to be (temporarily?) abandoned.

Otherwise you could add a new mod: "Blash fix for Stone of Askavar Red Fist Sabre" 
 
Something should be done, the bug was already reported in 2010: http://www.shsforums...ms/#entry494986
 
The weapon is nice, something that makes up for the lacking of the Stupefier Mace from EE. I'd add a graphic effect tho, because there isn't even a message in the dialogue box saying that the target has been stunned, it's quite hard to realize.

I agree, but luckily Silent_AC (Quiet here) is already taking care of some of the flaws I'm reporting
 

Regarding NSCPortraits:

Open the Setup-NSCPortraits.tp2 with an editor, search for 1300 and you can edit this block

BEGIN ~Portraits for Tower of Deception~
REQUIRE_PREDICATE FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~VA#TIAN.cre~ ~You haven't installed ToD, skip this component~
DESIGNATED 1300

If adding the bold .cre does not help, removing the line with thar require statement should help.
 
 
 

Would you consider it as one of the next commits?

I dunno if the BWS should be a hotfix for mods.
If Quit/Alien want to do it, I won't stop them but I usually left that for others maintainers.
Its getting more unclear which package fix what if you need a mod, modders fix, BWP fixpack and the BWS to make mods work. I wasn't good enough to know if I'd make things worse. And some modders are kind of allergic to fixing their stuff if they don't approve or had some intention that did not need a fix.

[Quiet]

And for all this already exists "official" topics, where is possible doing bugreports or upload your fixes.

Sadly Lollorian is not active anymore - and i think the Bigg has also left. We need someone with high enough modding knowledge who would maintain at least one of those fixpacks

I will do that, but as you all can see, those threads are quite dead and many important contributors left. Some other solution has to be found, for the project's sake.

I noticed that the master branch is being updated on Bitbucket; are all the commits from EET being merged as well? What are the differences between the two branches now?

I have the same error! And I can't seem to fix it. But I have it every time I click "new game". Is it the same for you?
 
I made a thread about it here: http://www.shsforums...click-new-game/
 
It must be a current mod that does this because I have never had such an error and I have successfully played BWS games many times before.
 

It occurred during a battle with some gibberlings. I'm trying an install without 1PP high quality music, but not knowing what was the cause is something I don't like.
So you tell me that an entire playthrough without this kind of error is possible..

[Bill Bisco]

Excellent point. This topic seems to come back occasionally. And the preferable solution is: BWS cannot add "yet another global fix pack" to fix mod bugs. There is BiG World Fixpack which should be only one source of fixes for all mods. BWS maintainers/people from this community can contribute to it by sending email to Leonardo. My only wish is there should a better way of cooperation.

I don't mind theoretically that we email Leonardo and Leonardo updates the BWP fixpack. How well does this process work? How timely is it? What I like about Big World Setup is that it's least being worked on by multiple people and consistent changes are being made. Big World Fixpack is dependent on one person and is more likely to lead to delays.

Could we consider temporary fixes until it was included in the Big World Fixpack? It seems very disempowering otherwise.
