I have noticed that all of my installations of BWS/BWP has this problem. 

 

baldur.bcs is still firing after entering ToB (the spirit head area AR4000) instead of baldur25.bcs

 

It has caused some clear roleplay disturbance (eg. Delon follows you all the way to ToB to ask for help in Umar Hills) and worst of all, the baldur25.bcs didn't fire at all. 

 

If I rest I can see Ellesime telling me to act faster on Jon Irenicus. 

 

What can I do to change the script firing from baldur.bcs to baldur25.bcs? 

 

Also, is there any solution in the coming installations of BWS/BWP? 

 

I can navigate Near Infinity fairly well.

Do You launch the game via the ToB button in the starting screen (Elminster with staff or something)?

No. There is a transition from SoA to ToB. The movie is played after the party defeats Irenicus. 

The party is transferred to AR4000 afterwards.

I know

Save Your game after the transition and start it with the ToB button next time.

 

Does the problem persist?

[Ciswind]

The problem can be solved this way. 

Maybe we need a bugfix for the coming updates. 

 

Edit: 

Also, AR4000.bcs has a chance to stop after creating a mule (from pack-a-mule mod)

The mule entry is in every [area code .bcs] at last entry normally. 

In AR4000.bcs, it goes to the top however. 

The entry is as following: 

 

 

IF

Global("W_MuleToGAM","GLOBAL",0)

!Exists("W_MULE")

Global("W_PMULE_C","ar4000",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

SetGlobal("W_PackMuleWrangler","GLOBAL",9)

SetGlobal("W_MWAIT","GLOBAL",3)

SetGlobal("W_PMULE_C","ar4000",1)

CreateCreature("W_MULE",[1136.1727],0) // Pack mule

ApplySpellRES("W_MSHAD","W_MULE") // No such index

END

 

 

It needs a Continue() to allow the firing of the entries below. 

 

IF

Global("W_MuleToGAM","GLOBAL",0)

!Exists("W_MULE")

Global("W_PMULE_C","ar4000",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

SetGlobal("W_PackMuleWrangler","GLOBAL",9)

SetGlobal("W_MWAIT","GLOBAL",3)

SetGlobal("W_PMULE_C","ar4000",1)

CreateCreature("W_MULE",[1136.1727],0) // Pack mule

ApplySpellRES("W_MSHAD","W_MULE") // No such index

Continue()

END

 

Hope it helps others who have similar problem.

The other option is:

 

Patching w_mule2.tpa (inside LIB folder of w_packmule):

Line: EXTEND_TOP ~ar4000.bcs~ ~w_packmule/ar4000_ext.baf~

to EXTEND_BOTTOM ~ar4000.bcs~ ~w_packmule/ar4000_ext.baf~

Sorry for the delay. I wanted to be sure about what I'm telling You. Yesterday I finished SoA to continue today with ToB.

The transition takes You from Ellesime to the forest with the talking heads of prophecy. My game did an auto save here.

If your game does not then just make an ordinary save by yourself. Then

 

• quit the game
• open the folder "save" in your BG2-directory
• if there is a folder "000000003-Auto-Save-TOB" then delete it ( or move it to a safe place) and rename your recent save game that way
• rename your "WORLDMAP.wmp" to "WORLDM25.wmp"

 

If You start the game now via the ToB button You should have all your data in the auto save.

Hope this helps and it's not too .. well .. not tooooooooo late.

 

 

Edit: A comment for maintainers of this site. Above I inserted a bulleted list which obviously didn't work well. Any idea why so?

Even more of a delay behind me, I tried to solve the above mentioned problem again, yet to no avail. Renaming the folder as you instructed, the save file still doesn't show up on the 'load game' list of available save files when I try to start the game via ToB. It would seem this playthrough is doomed

 

Thanks for trying, anyway!
