Yeah, one thing that's messed me up a couple of times before I learned is that BG Fixpack has to be installed BEFORE BGT.

Did you maybe install BGT first and then the Fixpack?

Hi, I was just playing with my Skald character and got my whole party wiped out by a Symbol, Stun cast by a ridiculously high level cleric (courtesy of the Kelsey NPC mod).

My question is, if I had been using my Chanter, would Omnimens protect against Symbol, Stun? It says it protects from "charm, confusion, and hold". That would exclude stun, right? So I wouldn't have fared any better even with my Chanter, right?

@Jarno: Wow, I guess I should have read that readme a lot more carefully! It would have saved me hours of frustration!

In fairness to myself, there's an awful lot of info there to try to process for a BGT noob.

What caused the worldmap bug? It was present after I had installed only Fixpack and BGT. I installed Worldmap after that to fix it.

Okay, I tried it on a test 1st level character in BGT.

It seems to work as advertised, but for one very annoying thing - clicking on the first level (bonus to saves) chant in the special ability button causes the character to cast Magic Missile on himself. It is very possible to commit Suicide By Magic Missile by clicking on the chant.

Surely you did not intend that? I SK'd the character up to 7th level, and it looks like you can switch between the first two chants without the Missiles.

What is going on here? Is the character going to automatically cast the first level chant when the sing button is pressed, when there is only the one chant available, such that you are not supposed to click on that chant?

If I have to Magic Missile myself every time I want to use a chant, that is definitely a deal-breaker.

Also, the little music note icon does not work with the chants. This will make it very difficult to tell whether the party members are all in range of the song, which could be deadly if you are depending on it for protection from fear or protection from level drain.

EDIT - wait a minute, I just noticed that the "resist fear" icon is lit up while I sing the song. If you have managed to use more specific icons than the music notes, that might be a good thing. Can you confirm your intention about how it is supposed to work as far as interface icons and feedback?

Also, do any of the benefits stack? For example, can you protect from fear and level drain at the same time? I would guess not, which would be good balancing.

Please don't let any remaining problems discourage you - you almost have it working, and I think this is a really good character class concept. It's very close to what I am in real life (a music teacher and sacred/classical musician), and I love to play my games with a character that's as close to the real life me as I can get it.

...

I don't think the BGT install actually really worked at all... you have to adjust the baldur.ini's [Alias] -lines, the 6 lines under it so tey point to the right directory.

As it is that you cannot register two installs of either of the two addons, Tales of the Sword Coast and Throne of Bhall. So you cannot actually have two installs.

Okay, I changed the six lines in the .ini file to the correct paths. The exact same startup error occurs, so it didn't do anything different.

Any other ideas?

(BTW - I don't have 'two installs' of BGT. I was saying that my game resource installs of both BG1 and BG2 are clean and in working order.)

EDIT - I got it to work by starting all over and using the default directory for BGII-SoA. The problem was happening because I was trying to install it somewhere other than Program Files (x86) in Windows 7, which people advise you to do. But this program doesn't recognize anything but the default path for BG2.
