Hi all,

 

I would like to play RoT and TDD mods installed together. However I found in the readme that RoT kits cannot be installed with TDD kits:

 

⚠️ **WARNING!** It is only valid for non-EE games and can't be installed with TDD Kit Packs. Please choose which one you want to install.

 

 

What is the reason to prevent installing both kits?

Is it just a name conflict or something bigger?

 

As this mod is still supported on this forum, maybe this issue could be improved somehow?

Is it true that TobEx allows to use more kits by adding slider?

 

Thanks for anwser.

It's that you can't have more than 10 kits on a specific class in ToB, and yes, if you install ToBEx first, you can actually install both mods kits and have them. Dah. The readme might not reflect this because the ToBEx was made after both mods were made. A long time after.

Great, so I will try with TobEx. Thanks!

Also, there might be some unfortunate restrictive coding done in the mods themselves, as it was at the time prudent... and later generally that was removed by the BiG World moding tools, which are not a thing anymore...

And also, be aware that many kits from those two mods overwrite each other and even mix special abilities and restrictions. I'm speaking from my own bitter experience.

Ohh, It is very interesting. How it is even possible? Is it a kind of identifier/name conflict? Or special treatment of TDD kits in RoT mod installation?

[The Imp]

Well the spells to make the kits effects can have comflicts, the kit names can have conflicts... and other things can have conflits. Also, the kits were made without the full knowledge of todays, so their tools could have been lacking and so forth.

Hi again,

 

I'm preparing an update that will allow to install both kit packs. I found that there is "Samurai" and "Auril" kit name conflict with TDD kits. So I've changed a little the RoT kits name in the code, but I don't know how kit name is related to other game parts. For example, item can be dressed only by Samurai, so how this item is connected with new kit name? Can you help me figure out what things should be updated together with changed kit name? I can push my prework to github if needed.

 

Thanks

It's probably not. But sure, I would like a look on what you got. I would prefer a .zip archive at any downloabale place. I am unsure how much you have, but your profiloe should have attacment space left to the forum, to access it, you just need to use the "more reply options", rather than the quick reply in the topic, when you are logged in.

Ok, in fact it is simple change.

 

I created internal review request on my RoT repository fork. You can view my diff here https://github.com/R...or/pull/1/files

You can download my patch here https://github.com/R...ve/kits-tdd.zip

 

 

I really don't know how kit is connected with spells or items. If by name, my change will introduce bugs. I'm open for any suggestion on this.

 

I will make a pull request to the SHS repository when I finish.

[The Imp]

Sorry, haven't had the time to dwell into this just yet, I'll intend to though.

@Roberciiik
How does your version fix Region of Terror?  How necessary is your version?

I don't think it fixes something, it just enables extra installation path. Editing tp2 file will not be required to include both RoT & TDD kitpacks at the same time.
