"WARNING: File "Innershade/Setup-Innershade.tp2" contains 'VERSION ~8.0~' (expected no VERSION line)! This is the file targeted for patching in "SETUP-INNERSHADE.TP2.PATCH" in "Big World Fixpack/Innershade". This might mean that the patches for this mod were made for a different version of the mod than the one that you are using, or this might mean that the mod was already patched and then removed from the list in the "BWP_Fixpack.installed" file without restoring the original pre-patched files."

BWFixpack tries to fix older versions of mods, so the question you should really be asking is "Did you take into account BWFixpack patches to your mods?" If the answer is yes, feel free to cancel BWFixpack patching Lava's mods.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

I have no idea how Big World Setup works, but I think you don't need to use BW fixpack, because all bugs that were reported are now fixed. agb1 and K4thos helped me when I were working on these versions. I suppose you may just install the new versions and enjoy them without thinking about old fixes

[Lava Del'Vortel]

It should work just fine

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Thanks! I'll look into all of that when I've got a moment

[Lava Del'Vortel]

For now I have fixed Foundling a bit. Did not check if journal entries work fine, as that part is not game breaking, but I fixed the problem with the gloves. So, Foundling version 2.1 is up.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

I bet those aren't the only problems, but those are not game breaking so I will just check those in future. The ToB quest problem was actually much more serious, because the stutter bug could prevent some players from continuing the game with the NPC these... well, can wait a bit

Thanks so much Lava! I have just loaded them via BWS for my first Trilogy (BGT) experience. Looking forward to getting to the 2nd Floor Observatory in BG2! I'll be adding in Southern Edge 0.90 as well. Cheers.

[Creepin]

Hmm, I've never heard of Southern Edge before. Found the thread on beamdog forum, the mod looks cool. Will it work on classic BG or only on EE?

[Lava Del'Vortel]

I play only EE these days so the chance is really... small. Especially since I'm using some effects that aren't there in original BG2 and animations that is there only on EE.

I'll upload Southern Edge later in EE mods section, but note that it's early beta.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Additional small update of ISNF (v5.1) - I fixed some items and slightly balanced the parasite change.

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Thanks for letting me know. Even though that wasn't fixed now, I would like to share some other good news. Innershade, Tales of the Deep Gardens, The White Queen and Foundling just got updated. All mods now include map icons for the ares we visit. What's more, from now on you no longer have to start a new game to visit new areas. Yes, EE save game patching is now included!

K4thos did most of the coding, so thank him for making those projects even nicer. Enjoy, everyone! Have fun with Colours of Infinity!

[Lava Del'Vortel]

Try creating mpsave directory in your main BG2 directory. That may help.
