I have no idea what new Ascension beta does - like all your links to beamdog just none of those files can be downloaded. There are just images of the files no download links.

You might need to be a forum member to download the mod. It's protected that way from "attacks".

You need a Beamdog forum login to download files from the forum.

Thank you for the info

 

This is the end of my EET research, in other words.

Forum registration is free, so you can certainly get the files if you want to try them now.

I think it's a matter of time before the new Ascension finds a proper hosting. This is a beta release, so author didn't bother. Anyway I will ask JediMindTrix if he would be interested in uploading it to GitHub. Mods as huge as this one would benefit from open repository hosting, imo (you know, "pull request" functionality etc.)

I have found a workaround for the time beeing - I have created a small repository of not yet converted mods (like TDD, TGCE1, Ascencion etc) I can use for conversion of my own mod meanwhile, since I only need contents not any scripts, spells, kits or tweaks from those mods.

True, you do not need to give them credit card details.

But you have to accept ToRs like this

I do modding for fun - not to deal with lawyers.

Isn't it already on github ? I have been following WhiteAgnus's progress for some time now and the repo is https://github.com/w...agnus/Ascension.

If i understand correctly, the master branch has JediMindTrix's build and yesterday a new branch named beta-1.5 was created which (i think) has merged the Cuv/Miloch/Turambar build as well (as JediMindTrix said he would do in the BD forums).

That one worked after re-packaging the directory (tp2 and folder packaging do not match, a number of spells are in the wrong subfolders)

You no need a Beamdog forum login to download Ascension, you only need link to file which you can find here (look at BG2EE prefix).

There you can find links to other mods from Beamdog forum.

Issue with Jaheirah Parting script in EET

When kicked out during BG1, it seems that Jaheirap.dlg triggers and (due to her romance not happening before BG2 Romanceactive=0, she tells PC that she goes to Harpers HQ in the docks). She should use JaheiP.dlg during BG1 including all the Khalid checks. Both P-files are present in the EET game.

thanks, I will take a look at it.

[Roxanne]

thanks, I will take a look at it.

I checked also Khalid - when he is kicked out and Jaheira leaves with him, the correct diaogue is set by Khalids p-dlg ActionOverride("Jaheira",SetDialog("JAHEIP")).

 

In old BGT only Jaheirap.dlg was used (which is the one referenced in Pdialog.2da in BGT as well as in EET) and it included trigger blocks for GlobalLT("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2) or Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2) instead of both P-files. EET could do the same or use the continuous chapter numbering to select the correct dialogue options instead.http://www.shsforums...ee/#entry584286

I took a look as well - I think I just hit a special case here, the initial dialogue at Friendly Arm, when Khalid and Jaheira are forced into the party.(My party was full, so I needed to kick someone out to make room and I choose Jaheira.) It does not happen after they have joined and Jaheirah is kicked out. The correct setting of dialogues is done when the NPC joins the party, this is how your developpers documentation describes it and it seems to be correct.

as you mentioned the only way I was able to reproduce the problem was initiating the join dialogue with Jaheira when the party was already full and than kicking her out before she joined (by choosing her portrait from the party management). The reason why the dialogue is not changed is the fact that the NPC never really joined the party in the first place (so K#PDIALOG local variable was not set) and yet the NPC is forced to initiate the post dialogue file, which needs K#PDIALOG set to 1 to swap correctly. I will see if I will be able to do something about it. Thanks for the report.

I came to the same conclusion - it also may happen with other NPCs. Knowing the problem may just require to adjust the gameplay. Like myself, I would only use this method to get aquainted with an NPC or finish a quest and the *kickout* is really used to make an NPC wait for later recruitment.

A question to the new *Record* screen of EE

The race field for my githyank NPC is displayed empty in this screen - In BGT Githyanki was correctly displayed. Is there any point in the cre or IDS files (Githyanki exists in Race.ids >> 152 GITHYANKI) where I must make the race additionally known to the game for display here?

A question to EET Journal system

Quote *Currently during BG1 -> BG2 transition all quest journal entries are removed from the journal. Transition script (K#TELBGT.BCS) reads them directly from SQL file during installation,*

Now, I have adapted the Sandrah mod to EE using the ADD_JOURNAL function. The mod is to be installed after EET installation, including its BG1 contents. This is no issue, since there a some quests (including journal entries) that are continuous through the parts of the game.

My understanding is, that for this specific case, I need to remove solved/unsolved journal entries from the mod myself (by adding them to K#TELBGT.BCS or some other method) and that those not removed will stay in the Journal even after transition -which in my case would be intended.

Are these assumptions correct?

this is just temporary solution for beta testers, so they don't have to see BG1 journal entries after starting BG2. Once the new BG2:EE patch is released, EET will use continuous chapters, without resetting them at the end of BG1 (which means following chapters will use different pages in the journal), so nothing will be cleaned.

no need to adopt the mod to beta release. When the EET will be officially released it won't remove any journal entries at all.
