Ehh, if it's not a critical bug I'll probably let it slide, bcause get_ids_map is a weidu internal action and the lack of difflvl.ids is just how iwd2 works.

Erhm, hä ? What ?
If you use a new .ids from a .ids table, you should extend the file if it's not already there in. Same goes for this error:

[50KURTTU.dlg] created from [50KURTTU.DLG]

[trigger 35 list near line 128, column of 50KURTTU.dlg] PARSE WARNING at line 128 column 1-19
Near Text: )
Type mismatch in "SeeDead" argument of [See].
Expecting type "integer".
WARNING: cannot verify trigger ~See([ENEMY], FALSE)~: Parsing.Parse_error

The debug says that the trigger.ids doesn't contain an entry like that, it should contain 0x401c See(O:Object, I:SeeDead) ... it's likely that either the previous mod, aka IWD2-EASE screwed that, or your trigger doesn't equate to the See(O:Object, I:SeeDead) -format, so you shouldn't be using it. -for some reason the forum quotes my comments into the quotation, ahhh... If it's possible that the I:SeeDead always refers to the State.ids's state_dead, then it's possible that you need to use this instead of the above:
~!See([ENEMY], DEAD)~
..
the ! reverses the following statement, as you well know, probably.

Come the hell on, Imp, do you really think so low of me? There is no difflvl.ids in IWD2. Not my fault none of the programs can handle this fact.

Second, it is not a bug, I told you. The original triggers all have the syntax "See([ENEMY], FALSE)", which does not fit specifications. They are replaced with "See([ENEMY],0)". Also, not my fault that it's handled as an error.

[Almateria]

It wasn't an error

[CamDawg]

The reason for the error is that there are defined actions and triggers that reference the difflevl symbolic table, which doesn't exist. BG2 had the same problem with shoutids and moraleai, and IWD had the same problem with diffmode/difflevl. Almateria's right that it's a harmless error since nothing uses a symbolic compile with those triggers; that being said I went ahead and included difflevl/diffmode in the IWDFP because I got tired of seeing the warnings.

Thanks for creating this mod for IWD2!
 
I noticed that WeiDU didn't successfully do the DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH on 40INVIS1.BCS.
 

COPY_EXISTING ~40INVIS1.bcs~ override
DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH BEGIN
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY CASE_INSENSITIVE EXACT_MATCH 
~ActionOverride(Player1,MakeUnselectable(5))
    ActionOverride(Player5,MakeUnselectable(5))~ ~ActionOverride(Player1,MakeUnselectable(5))
    ActionOverride(Player2,MakeUnselectable(5))~
END 

 
WeiDU copied the file to the override directory, but the REPLACE_TEXTUALLY was not applied.
 
Using the weidu command line to decompile override/40INVIS1.bcs, the text 

ActionOverride(Player1,MakeUnselectable(5))
ActionOverride(Player5,MakeUnselectable(5))

was still present in the decompiled BAF. 
 
Adding the DIFFLEVL.IDS from the IWD Fixpack let WeiDU complete the DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH successfully. It appears that although IWD2 doesn't need/use DIFFLEVL.IDS, WeiDU needs it there to compile the BAF to BCS.
 
Also, the error message for 50KURTTU.dlg is happening because there is a patch block on that file before the block that replaces ~See([ENEMY], FALSE)~. WeiDU is complaining about compiling the dialog with the ~See([ENEMY], FALSE)~ trigger still there. If you move the following block below the one that replaces ~See([ENEMY], FALSE)~, it will compile without warnings:
 

COPY_EXISTING ~50KURTTU.dlg~ override
DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH BEGIN
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY CASE_INSENSITIVE EXACT_MATCH ~!Race(Protagonist, Halfing)~
~!Race(Protagonist, Halfling)~
END

EDIT: Without DIFFLEVL.IDS, NearInfinity can't decompile and search BCS files with a Difficulty() trigger. So having the fixpack add DIFFLEVL.IDS would be helpful on that regard too.

Unfortunately Almateria's profile is telling us that she is no longer supporting her modifications, including this one.

 

I fear there won't be an update, unless somebody else offers it.

That was in November, she later made the current link in her signature, and she has been active with other things, so I wouldn't go and say that she has stopped actually. So I would expect AstroBryGuy's suggestions are likely to get a good reception.

[Almateria]

It's more that I stopped actively developing mods, those made already are still under my commanda and receive regular bugfixes.
I'll fix those issues when I have time and/or a mac version of IwD2.

[Almateria]

...honestly, I don't remember?? Probably not, since I've never seen the Quest XP List. 

 

But, like, I do actually have a computer now, and a shitton of time to kill when I'm not agonizing over how terrible my life is, so... I think I can safely say the development has been picked up.

 

And if someone helps me sift through the Redrake mod my life will be much easier

[Almateria]

I should stop making announcements.

 

Due to mental health problems piling up I'm not really up to the task.

This or any other, really.

 

Sorry.

[Almateria]

Uploaded a new version of the mod with a bunch of new fixes and coding workarounds for a smooth install  

[Felipe]

Thank you for this. Btw, did you check other mods around for IWD 2? They have fixes/restorations that could be worth to add to this package since your work seems to be the most complete one.

[Almateria]

I have, at the very least, incorporated various fixes streqn across the internet that I found back in 2014. I will look for more though

I see, i must apologize for my lazyness, it would have been much better if i pointed you to the projects i said:

[Almateria]

Ah. Well, from what I've seen most of these are original content? Don't take me wrong, love their work, but ultimately I have strong brainworms that prevent me from incorporating what's ostensibly new content into a fixpack. Like yeah, man, those are good, but also, you're making a whole new thing.
