Not sure how this is related to Tobex b12, but when I launch with tobex b12 my screenshot folder starts filling up as soon as I get to the game selection screen. Just noticed this morning when I found I only had 192k left on my HDD. After looking at the date stamps, it's taking anywhere between 1 and 5 screenshots per second! ouch. It was running a little slow last night, but it wasn't too bad, guess that's why. doh!

Launching with bgmain does not produce this behavior, so I rolled back to b11, which does not produce the behavior either.

I'm happy to put b12 back on and test if there is something specific you want me to check out.

p.s. this is from a fresh bwp "recommended" reinstall done yesterday afternoon, only removed 2 mods from that list, xan's voices for bg1 and tob hacks. was using the default tobex ini.


Edit:
OK, just did a separate install w/ b12 and disabled scs and spell revisions conflicts, and a few other things in the tobex.ini. I'm not getting the screenshot problem atm. Will post again if I can reproduce the problem.

There is a conflict of interest in that question.
With that noted, I have suggested in another topic to not use tob_hacks at all because BWP only recommends the use of components that TobEx also implements. This can actually cause problems if used together. It would be otherwise OK to use tob_hacks components not implemented by TobEx, but this currently is not the case.



Understood.

I went ahead and re-installed without tobhacks last night. As you said, everything is implemented in tobex.

I like the idea of not needing to patch bgmain anyway, just seems like a ctd risk every time it's done.

Thanks,
Red

Thanks for the quick update. Just did a fresh install with b9 a couple days ago and b10 fixed all the no kill problems. No ctd's on anything either. Not sure what changed, but I could never use any of the hacks related to pickpocketing before (from b7), now they all work fine with b10.

edit:
OK, found a few things I forgot to change in the bwp install.bat, so I'm going to install again (I hate those faster bears :doh: ).
Anyway, was thinking I could completely exclude Taimon's Tobhacks now. BWP 9.4 only includes three of the tob_hacks components on a recommended or standard install :
1) Non-cumulative blindness.
2) profsmax restrictions on character creation (which I don't care about anyway)
3) Fix cure drunkeness effect #164

1 & 3 seem to be covered by tobex b10, so I'm wondering why I would even need tob_hacks anymore??

Oh, and thanks again for the awesomeness that is Tobex. :Bow:
