Which SOS-WeiDU version are you using?

v1.02.


BTW, shouldn't it be possible to also go through the cellars in the Barracs? Maybe misremembering something, but didn't manage exiting from the prison-area to the next part, since pointer never changed...

Oh, and have no idea if Selence is as buggy as in BP-1.61, since as mentioned in the TDD-post took the shortest possible route to Spellhold.  

Next bug... when heading to Lyrar's Hold, AR4340 crashes.

A little digging reveals that cbssyeti.cre crashes due to uses animation IC_BEETLE_COPPER 57856. Switching to the SoS-original 59168 fixes this...

yes, yes, yes... Everything you mentioned is under control. 

Well, my guess is you're still having the over-bloated size of BGT...

A quick look on this thread seems there's 3 wishes:
1; Easier installation.
2; Custom installation.
3; Removing doublets/triplets/n-touplets making smaller install-size.

#2 is already to a small extent possible, since you can choose to not install BGT & NeJ, but atleast personally the most important is to make #1 easier.

#1, the auto-installer, can be made more "intelligent", so it's less chance to make an error leading to unusable install. This can be accomplished by:
a; Letting the auto-installer verify you have all neccessary files before allowing the installation. Since both TDD & SoS uses an older version of the same installer and atleast TDD verifies if SoA or ToB, this should be easily fixed.
b; Make sure all weidu-setup-files is upgraded to the same version, so none fails installation later on. Atleast in latest version this is done by weidu.exe --update-all
c; Installation of TDD + patch & SoS + patch can't be easily changed, but should preferably verify these are installed correctly.
d; Installer should go directly to extracting the bg1-video now, since you must supply a path to bg1, and there isn't really a problem to split bgt3.bat in 2 and run the 1st part now.
e; Use unrar x -y tsv50.exe ts-install
and similar for the other archieves you needs to extract as part of installation. Using unrar directly makes sure the files is placed in the correct folder, and you actually doesn't need to baby-sit the install-process.
f; For weidu, use setup-something.exe --yes
If this means multiple languages is installed, supply a custom *.tp2-file with only one language. By using this method there isn't any problem with user-errors missing some of the components any longer, and doesn't need to baby-sit the install-process.
g; Let the installer remove weidu.log and other unneccessary files.

Also, do some small changes to the accompanying *.bat-files, example remove the "sleep 1000" and don't tisunpack files and later re-tis them to remove the header...

The actual time to run the installation-process will be roughly the same, but you'll remove all user-errors from extracting TS & BP to wrong directory, and missing some/all weidu-components. An added bonus is you don't need to baby-sit the installation-process, so after typing in the bg1-directory in d you can let the computer work for 1 hour or something without needing any more user-input. B)


#3, removing all doublets and more on the other hand is much more difficult, but a starting-point is to not bif the bg3-files that is later changed by some of the other components.

BTW, since TDD & SoS already is biffed, there's little point to remove anything from these if you can't delete the whole bif-file. But for the rest, if you can remove some of the extra *.tis-files and instead point to TDD or SoS, no problem.

Hmm, throws ehhroth.bcs into the override-folder, actually backed-up override before biffed and selected to re-install the NEJ-fixes...

Result, Hrotghar have totally screwed-up text, and the text added to journal after talking to him is screwed-up...

Also tried using the full 15883-files override-folder and accompanying chitin.key & dialog.tlk from before the auto-installer biffed the files, and same result...

So looks like it's actually better the so-called nej-fixes isn't being installed...
