I've been trying to install a Tactical version of EET, this is just some feedback based on that.

 

Had to remove the following mods to get close to completion:

 

Edwin Romance (off)
Siren NPC (off)
*** (forget the name, it ties in with Siren ) NPC (off)

And these mods also need to be removed, but I have yet to run BWS with them removed:

Sandrah NPC Creatures and Items (all off)
 Choose class for Mazzy (off) (npc mod some name)

 

 

 

 

Log at the end of install:

Game starts, seems to run ok. Takes about 12 hrs +- to install.

 Can't see me playing this copy though as for some god awful reason it has the EE BG1 UI.. Plus those errors on install don't look good So I plan to reinstall once I find out how to fix the UI.

 

BWS EET Standard/Recommended install comes with a nice UI. Does anyone know what mod in the tactical install has deactivated that nice UI? Note that I have activated no other UI mods, I have however activated Graphics overhaul, which just seems to put seams in all the map backgrounds..

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Edit:

 Am I nuts going for a tactical install? I don't see many people talking about it these days but it's the way I always used to play..

 

Edit 2:

 

 Looks like the offending mod is "EET Alternate GUI (SoD)"

My personal opinion is that the *tactical* as well as any other pre-selection for EET is nonsense,

When using this, the mods inherit some classification from the old game (pre-EE). The results of such a selection are meaningless.

The problem is that the core BWS functionality cannot be maintained or changed anymore, due to its outdated software.

 

To make a tactical EET install, the best way is to make your own best choice of mods and use SCS as the tactical enhancer for it. I can post my own Weidu selection of such an install if someone is interested. My own assessment is that you get a fairly overall balanced tacticat EET game this way. Set the slider to core or hard afterwards and you get decent results.

 

Do not trust EET pre-selections for EET, they are not based on test/experience but on results from another game that are not applicable anymore. If there was a switch to turn it off in BWS GUI, that would be for the better.

Oh I had no idea the selections were out-dated.

 I'd definately be interested in your Weidu selection of mods for your custom 'tactical' install if you don't mind posting it.

Hey, any chance of you posting that?

 I've just ran into a load more bugs on installation and I don't know enough about the project to know what is going to work with what...

Cheers.

Here is my selection and sequence

BG1 part  WeiDU-BGEE.log   5.91K   398 downloads

BG2 part  WeiDU.log   47.82K   387 downloads

Do not worry about version numbers of mods, some have been updated meanwhile, but this is the version I successfully tested from beginning to end.

I have also added Amber and Region of Terror to the selection, they do not appear in the log.

Thanks, I'll have a play around wth that and set it to install over night.

Should finally get to play EET tomorrow
