There is another small issue. The second component should depend on the main component of the mod.

Right.

Self explanatory but should be checked.

Spoiler

ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~Chloe9.cre~ THEN BEGIN
FAIL ~Main component required for the extension~
END

I prefer to use REQUIRE_COMPONENT for this. It has the positive side effect that dependent components are automatically uninstalled if you uninstall the main component.

REQUIRE_COMPONENT ~Chloe.tp2~ 0 ~Main component required.~

The file "Chloe\Scripts\Extending\AR0602CR.baf" contains the script action SetGlobal("A7-Cutscene","ar0602",11) which effectively disables the main plot of the "Skip Chateau Irenicus" mod. Is there a specific reason for it?

At this moment there is not yet a satisfactory solution for the missing contents in case of skip. So, as an interim I avoid the skipping. However this will be removed as soon as the addition is made.

At this time the priority was conversion of the existing old mod content. New stuff is in the making.

The only other alternative would have been to declare the two mods incompatible - which is probably harder to undo than to remove a line from a script at the given time.

Unless, of course, you disagree.

 

PS - I have also modified your code to keep the statue from Irenicus dungeon in her inventory - this is the planned trigger for the alternative path.

You could program the (your) mod to not able to install if the Skip Chateau Irenicus -mod is installed ... until the fix is added. This will let the other mod be able to be installed later, if it makes the fix, or the player just decides to install it anyways and you can remove the check when you deem it unnecessary, on your end. Aka there's nothing to fix. Or it can be gone around.

NOT PERMANENTLY DISABLE THE WHOLE FREAKING OTHER MOD just cause you feel it's necessary, for the moment. Because their "content"(the actual skip of content) can be decided during each time the player starts the game, as the dialog pops up, the player can answer no to it, so it doesn't permanently skip anything, unlike the SetGlobal -action will, as it's part of the main .bcs that will always run, without player input.

I see. It took me a while to find the real cause while testing my own mod in combination with Chloe and several other mods.

BG2EE Chloe is already registered in BWS, so it may cause players to complain why "Skip Chateau Irenicus" doesn't work. It's probably a better idea to simply comment out the code of Chloe appearing in the tavern as long as there is no good solution for the dungeon skipping issue.

I will remove everything from the mod with respect to Skip Chateau Irenicus.

The mod description of both mods is clear enough in this respect - one mod skips the part where another mod starts

Statements like this just turn the whole thing on its head - it is not the responsibility of mods that are tweaked out of the game to find a fix for that, this is simply absurd. Stuck in a dead end, it seems.

Well, I see it as the responsibility of proper mod updating that if a solution is offered by the community, that it's taken ... and maybe little tweaked, but still taken as a valid option for things. To go into further detail... My bet is that if you intent to have the one character you make chained up to the party as a permanent party member without the option to remove them temporarily and then continue at a later date at what ever point from the current circumstance, then the NPC is likely going to get shafted to the spot it's left, and not "rehired" as part of the party. Or you wouldn't have the tweaks like the NPCs return back to taverns, separate NPC pairs, etc that allow a lot more than the original game did in those aspects.

Ran into a simple issue installing this in EET.

ERROR: parsing [tb#_compile_eval_buffer/Chloe/Chloe.baf]: Parsing.Parse_error

Chloe NPC for SoA (Chloe NPC) was not installed due to errors.

Having a look at that file it appears to be missing an END. I added that and it installed OK. Just a simple one that's maybe already fixed, cheers.

Thanks for this

It is a new error just introduced recently when deleting one line too much. Corrected again.

Progress Report

 

I have implemented and tested the following content for Chloe in EET (as mentioned earlier, it is expected to work in BG2EE as well, however I have not tested it myself nor received any positive or negative reports about BG2EE version yet).

 

Version 1.6 EE
------------------------------------
Base EET version
 Mod adopted by Roxanne@SHS
- compatibility with BG2EE(?) and EET
- Revised personal items useable only by Chloe
- Repaired 1st meeting cuts
- New portrait for Chloe
- Journal adaptation for EE
- Kit adapted to EE
- Personal weapons repaired
- minor bug fixes + removal of unused code
- Imoen banters fixed for EET
- Weidu setup updated to 2.40

Extra (this is provided as an optional component for install)
The new contents is currently only available in English

 

- additional SoA banters
- Chloe works for Lathander against the beholder cult and may gain the temple stronghold on behalf of the party (if Player does not qualify in the first place)
- Chloe stays in male party at tree of life if Imoen or Sandrah is with you

ToB contents
- Chloe cannot be summoned into ToB by fate spirit, however now has more options to transition from SoA
- several ToB banters (to be expanded)
- Volo recognises Chloe
- Gorion wraith recognises Chloe
- Chloe finds her father and her final set of swords
- Reactions on Charname's decision at ToB final

 

To be done

Extension of female romance path into ToB (maybe? There is not much left open after SoA part...)

ToB end bio (not decided yet...maybe the EET Chloe can become part of Sandrah RtF NPCs and you can rejoin with her,)

Corrected an issue that makes Chloe leave party at Throne of Bhaal final battle when Imoen is turned into the Slayer by Melissan.

 

Workaround for previous versions:

When you are in ToB do

SetGlobal("YouMustBeStupidDroppingImoenCR","GLOBAL",9)

Edited by Roxanne, 16 January 2017 - 10:28 AM.

I have found what I believe to be an error in the SoB version. After meeting the werewolf Anath, Chloe approaches the PC to talk but will only open the normal force-talk dialogue. I have no other mods installed and ran mod-merge before installing into BG2 EE

You are right....I made a bad bad mistake with her extended dialogues...they will all be cut by the PID ones under specific circumstances.

Look for this Global("ChloeIsAngryCR","GLOBAL",1) - your case happens if this value is 0 or other.

 

I will correct this error immediately. Looks like I have done all my testing with this value active (my PC was male),

[Roxanne]

I have found what I believe to be an error in the SoB version.

First of all thank you for your report. This is an ugly bug and it will affect all the additonal content.

 

However

I have no other mods installed and ran mod-merge before installing into BG2 EE

This means that you can just do the following

1. call Setup-Chloe.exe - select (n)o change for the original contents - select (u)ninstall for the new content.

2. Copy these two files into your BG2EE/Chloe/d folder

3. call Setup-Chloe.exe - select (n)o change for the original contents - select (i)nstall for the new content.

 

That should repair it.

 

Otherwise

C:SetGlobal("ChloeIsAngryCR","GLOBAL",1) will do it.

However, you will need to set C:SetGlobal("ChloeIsAngryCR","GLOBAL",0) again when you want to have (an extended) PID with Chloe and toggle back to 1 afterwards.

You can find reference how to use HANDLE_CHARSETS in most mods available for EE games.

I tried to find out how it works...the more I read the less I understand.

 

Can someone knowledable please confirm that this will do:

 

In tp2 added

ACTION_DEFINE_ARRAY fl#reload BEGIN setup END

  LAF HANDLE_CHARSETS
    INT_VAR
      infer_charset = 1
    STR_VAR
      tra_path = EVAL ~Chloe/Language~
      noconvert_array = fl#noconvert
      reload_array = fl#reload
      default_language = english
  END

 

All tra files and a folder inconv are in Chloe/Language

 

It installs but I have no idea how to test that it does the right things?
