Hi Alien.

 

Just letting you know that, as per latest BWP Fixpack, the components of the Area Patcher are no longer needed.

I will work to an Alpha5 release supporting NeJ 2 pre-691 as some fixes are needed.

[Nightfarer]

Sorry for not being clear Alien.

 

I meant you can safely remove all components of the Area Patcher.

[Lollorian]

To be even clearer

 

Components #1000 & #2000 are only needed in non-v691+v694 installations of NeJ (v42, v602, v68)

 

Component #3000 is only needed for NeJ v68 (since the BWPFixpack handles it for v691+694)

 

Component #4000 is totally handled by the BWPFixpack

 

Component #0 is only needed if any of the above components are being installed

 

EDIT: Btw, is anyone else having trouble downloading the SandrahRtF master from github? (the 525MB non-resumeable download is getting to me... and it won't even download at full speed! It always seems to cap at 50kBps)

I just downloaded SandrahRtF without problem. It took a bit longer than usual today at ~160kbps

Well the direct download link in the mods page(look up on Roxanne's signatures link), gave me a 1.9MBps, making it about 4 minute download. ...

Hello

 

I still have problems to get a fresh Install.

Some (lots?) of text and descriptions are missing.

 

Has anyone an idea which mod could "destroy" an installation ?

 I should say, that I try to install the Sandrah mod with all(most) of its dependencies.

 

Once I have managed to do this -but it seems it was shere luck (?).

But now it simply wont work anymore

 

By the way: is it still so, that SCS and BP will be not compatible ?

(I need BP for Sandrah!)

 

Any help appreciated.

 

 

Greetings

Just a thought: At the moment it seems that SCS is still a beta mod version with a lot of bugs. I encounter them at every turn in a large installation. It is probably not a good idea to install two large beta mods (SCS and Sandrah) at the same time unless you want to spend a lot of time finding, correcting and reporting issues.

Otherwise I do not think Sandrah has anything to do with the reported problem if you selected the latest version from the github link..

Hello BWS Peeps! Some queries

 

1) I'm trying to create a mod selection (I call it Lol's Lollipops for now )

 

But can someone update these dependancies please? They aren't needed with the most recent BWPFixpack as mentioned in this post

 

 

2) When I do a "Save selection" where is the selection actually saved? (the filename would be great )

 

3) How do I make Lol's Lollipops show up in the dropdown with kreso's & micbaldur's selections

 

4) On a related note, do you guys accept mod selections?

I am not the BW maintainer, but this is what I would say about this:

a) And another thing (because i'm guest I can't edit...)

b) I wonder if some mods could be included in the bws.

1. eSeries - http://www.gibberlin...rek/eseries.php

Because from my (I admit very small) testing it seems to work. And the game needs at least one good party AI mod.

a) You are a guest in the forum with a one step validation of authenticity ... No one will be able to edit the post... except the forum moderators.

b) The SCS has a party AI as does the aVENGERs mods, and they work well with each others and most of the mods, due to using the Detectable Spells AI charter, with is tested in every BW install out there, and it only mostly had problems if you installed both the SCS & BP's AI enhancements in the past, including reports of making the Liches turning to melee attacking ... but most of all, the player should be playing the game with the use of space and giving orders to the player characters, not watching their monitor and pondering if the porn had downloaded itself already, cause watching the goblins 15th time trying to out compute the player AI in a running match with the characters equipped with boots of speed and range attacks weapons gets dull.

The hotkey things, the only thing I can say is that's already like a 100 times more than the available space in the game, so testing it needs to be really thorough, and consolidated into known partners that can handle code editing and alterations. It would be best to actually start from a clean slate. Or with script blocks from all the others mods, combined into a rational combination of things. AKA, make all the NPC fix keys the same one, with a multi step install that covers one NPC at each state of install... as you can compile the scripts in multiple stages and according to what mods have been installed.

I call bullshit. Using space and manually clicking yet another #1427th goblin archer falls far better under definition of dull. And watching how proficiently your party, who you've carefully trained up and geared up, slices these goblins on their own accord is not a small joy in itself, superseded only by the ultimate joy of watching them doing so under the script you've made yourself. Not to mention that if anyone know how the player should be playing the game it's developers, who happened to provide not only ingame means to let party fight via scripts, but also provided compiler for players to write better scripts. Coincidence? I think not.

I call bullshit. Using space and manually clicking yet another #1427th goblin...write better scripts.

The goblins are not the issue, a "blind" attack script can utilize archery weapons. Example: The unmodified "attack.bcs" ...

IF
	See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
THEN
	RESPONSE #100
		Attack(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
END

This is: Should the player characters also know the stats of every opponent they face and cast spells with prerequisites... say cast ice storms to enemies who have no immunity cold or magic, cast fireball on non fireball immune enemies ... etc etc etc ? I call that bullshit.

The enemy can do so to it's limited potential, if they have the spells etc scripting that is allowed to kinda cheat, but should the player chars too do it ? And then ask where's the 4th wall. It's there, when the player knows that he has to change the standard tactic(auto attack a visible enemy), pushes the pause and uses and targets the spells himself... not when the computer does it for him. That's the line.

Seems like I messed up the component order - the JA#AdvPack dependant component can stay... although both of Jarl's mods should be made expert until someone fixes up the code. There was a related thread some days back.

Share some Ws... like where what when did you chose to get that error to pop up...

[dabus]

Try the latest (fixed) version.
