Guys, if you cannot smoothly integrate TS 7.05 into BWS, better skip it. I really don't like the fact that people complain about installation of TS 7.05 in BWS. It's not that complicated like NeJ, so I don't see a problem. The TP2 file is open, look what you need to modify there and do it without errors. Thanks.

 

[EDIT] Third Path component of BD 1.74 is a must for installation of TS v7.05 because it creates the first instance of KachiJ.dlg file. Then TS just appends it. I can separate it in the installation, but not for now.

I assume you're talking about my complaints today on the TS forums. I'm currently diving into how BWS works exactly, and I'm updating the configuration files so BWS uses Baldurdash 1.74 and TS 7.0.5

About that: In my experience, TS also requires "Boo - Familiar of Minsc (by Vlad) (If you're going to install TS next, please install this component.)" from Baldurdash!

Oh, this is for completely different reason. There is a scenario in TS of the Minsc-Sime-Boo triangle. The Boo component was initially in TS, but I have moved it for those who wants to have only Boo as a familiar of Minsc without playing TS. But if you do play TS, you have no choice but install it. That's why I've added this note during the installation.

Hi Vlad:

 

I am a player, not a programmer.  I just want to load the game and play.  Perhaps you could pass the details of installing BD v1.74, TS v7.05, and Boo - Familiar of Minsc to the authors of BWP and BWS.  That way it should be added soon not later.  I enjoyed playing TS v7.04 and am now waiting to make a new mega mod game until your mods are added to BWS.

 

Today, I did try to make a game with BD v1.74 and TS v7.05.  I use BWS.  BWS stopped for BD v1.74 and let me install it manually before it installed TS v7.05.  Something went wrong, probably my fault, and the game crashed.  Was this due to the fact that I did not have Boo - Familiar of Minsc installed?  I did not know it was needed.

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

If you Tom, or anyone else install "Boo - Familiar of Minsc"  it can lead to conflict with similar component from Worgas mod. Those two components  are probably incompatible... 

[Greenhorn]

Greenhorn, thanks for pointing it 

Glad I could help, at least in this manner ( seems the only way I'm capable of, anyway   ) but tell me please, can you perhaps shed some light on this matter? http://www.shsforums...-15#entry588418

Hi Greenhorn:

 

I never installed the Worgas mod and I have no idea what it is.  I have played TS and I like it.  So if I have to install 'Boo - Familiar of Minsc' to get TS v7.05, I will.  With BWS, I see a lot of conflicts and usually need to make 6-12 decisions of which mod (or component) to keep and which mod (or component) to remove.  

 

But you have got my curiosity up about Worgas so I will get the mod and see what it is about.  I still was not able to find 'Boo - Familiar of Minsc' to download it.  Checked BlackWyrmLair, but it was not listed in there downloads.  Google cannot find it either.

 

I have set up two computers set to play a mega mod game.  So if Worgas seems interesting, I will have it in one game and have TS in the other.

 

Since I am retired, I have lots of time for BGT.  My wife says I spend to much time with it.  But with cold, snowy winters, not much else to do.  Right now I am waiting for the issue to be resolved. I would like to see BWS either return to BD v1.68 and TS v7.04 or BD v1.74 and TS v7.05 and 'Boo - Familiar of Minsc'.   I am going stir crazy without a game to play.

Hi Tom, about Worgas:

Worgas v1.1

~WORGAS/WORGAS.TP2~

Worgas is an elven chaotic emotionally shattered wildmage with high intelligence which is hidden behind his neurotic

behaviour. He often speaks in riddles impossible to understand. He restlessly wanders with a levitating eyeball with

many eyes on it. He has two unique abilities called Wail of Insanity and Biting Eye.

Worgas only works in single player mode. It doesn't work in multiplayer due to the cutscene script in the beginning.

Copy the folder worgas and the file setup-worgas.exe into your main SoA directory.

Double-click the Setup. The DOS dialogue appears:

Install Component 0 [Worgas]? [I]nstall

Install Component 1 [Boo as Familar]? [I]nstall

Not compatible with NeJ

Install Component 2 [Drizzt]? [I]nstall

Not compatible with RoT, Drizztsaga, DKDrizzt, because these likewise bring Drizzt into the play.

Not compatible with SandrahNPC because that mod requires RoT and Drizztsaga.

if you want to include him you should install only component 0. As for " Boo - Familiar of Minsc" it is component of Baldurdash 1.74 now, if I understood it correctly. Anyway, about your compatibility concerns your best clue would be this: http://www.shsforums...155#entry588428
