Had a quick look. BG2Fixpack fixed this bug.

 

You need to be either in Chapter 8 (in ToB part of the game), or need to drop both Imoen and Keldorn from your party, if you want to finish the quest. There is a dialogue scripting issue from vanilla BG2:ToB.

One other way is to take the 26498 executable file form the ToB 26498 patch, which is still widely available.

The 26498 executable on a vanilla install should be used as the starting point for installing mods.

If the guest has already installed a huge number of mods, then re-installing from scratch is painful, sure, but to directly answer the question - no, I am not going to remove the bytes check from the TobEx installation.

I've installed BG2+ToB on my Ubuntu 13.04 system and I want to take advantage of all WeiDU seems to offer. I'd like to install the G3 tweaks as well. Any idea as to how to proceed correctly ? I haven't been so succesful at WeiDU installs so far

Well the BGT-weidu is a PC only unfortunately, among the hurdles is the fact that the BG1 data needs to be transferred... and the only Linux BG1 is the EE, which the BGT won't cover so far. Ascension64 would need to make that compatible and that's a try he hasn't said a whisper about. Well as far as I know.

 

This assertion by The Imp, I think, is incorrect. BGT-WeiDU is not PC-only. It has compatibility to install on both Linux (Wine-tested) and MacOS (unclear if tested). It is noted to install fine on Wine.

 

However, a linux user would be most appropriate to chip in here and say whether other Linux OSs support BG1 and BG2, because I don't own and test on a Linux system, I cannot say. I'd not jump to conclusions as The Imp has over this.

Thanks, will have a look.

No, it isn't.

Found the cause, missing EFF file. Have added check and warning to TobEx, but you need to report at SpellPack forums that JUJUANI2.EFF is missing from the install package.

Unless another mod is modifying which AI script your characters have, your assigned scripts shouldn't change. If you aren't using any other mod, and whenever you choose a custom script, it gets reset to none, then I'm unclear as to what's happening there. You can try editing your saved game and assign the scripts manually using NearInfinity or similar.

Did ToBEx really fixed this opcode?

A player mentioned this here at G3, and with a quick search I found out AndreaColombo at BGEE says here that both 182 and 183 have been fixed...so, I looked at Modder Reference again and found out it seems true (not sure why I never noticed it before - is it recent?).

Yeah, it has been there a while.
 

1) how does it work the 'Type' field? Does it reference an IDS or 2DA? Or does it simply pick from item "category" entry (e.g. Armor 2, Plate Mail 64, Full Plate 65, etc.)?

This is the item type as described in IESDP ITM V1.0 0x1c field. Yes, your examples are correct.
 

2) I'm not sure I understand this: "Limitations: the effect is applied again if an already equipped matching itemtype is used to force-attack a target via the quickbar." So, if applied to a weapon the effect is re-applied if you select the weapon?

Essentially, be very careful about using permanent timings with incremental change (e.g. heal when equip itemtype) stuff.
Example: Let's say A equips an amulet of heal (the amulet heals 3 HP every equipping event of itemtype mace). Now I equip A with a mace -> heal 3 HP. While the mace is still equipped, if I decide to use F2 to quick-select the mace from the quick-bar (even though the mace is already the weapon currently being equipped), A will heal 3 HP again.
 

3) What if the itemtype is not equipped anymore? Does 183 work as a repeating EFF which checks every x time if the item is still equipped? Or is it a "one time only" check?

Can't remember exactly, but whenever the inventory state of a creature changes, the list is re-checked and effects re-applied (since the itemtype effect list forms part of the same structure that stats are stored).
 
Hope that helps.

Yeah, it should work fine with that.
If you want to try and test the limitation, you can repetitively re-equip said shield (e.g. sword and shield combo) via quickbar and see if the creature's AC keeps getting better. If the AC sits correctly at +x better than the previous AC, then it should be fine.

One of the biggest disadvantages of 1PP is it doesn't introduce error-checking in the code. Hence, lots of potential bad crashes for missing/bad animations. Screws me over all the time when I try to load other peoples' saves on my puny minimalist install without 1PP.

No idea just from that snippet, post your entire DEBUG file please.

Have you run out of disk space? Looks like the installation had a problem with the BIFFing process near the end of the installation.

BGT-WeiDU v1.17 has been released! Minor maintenance release fixing the installation process only.

Yes, specifics help.

 

The basic ones from the top of my head are:

-Register a prefix as mentioned above for new game files as well as variable names

-When altering existing files, always code the changes and leave the smallest mark possible (e.g. if you want to change one value in an effect, don't scrub the whole effect). Never overwrite.

-Be aware of possible compatibility issues. This one is tricky because it requires some experience and knowledge about existing mods. I wouldn't worry about this too much if you are just starting out.

Hey, some mods use resources and variable names all over the shop.

Certainly using your prefix will significantly minimise risk of variable overlap.

Can you try deliberately using an older version of WeiDU to install BGT?

A search would probably have revealed your answer; http://www.shsforums...lation-problem/

Make sure you don't have any newer WeiDU versions in the installation folder, because WeiDU likes to self-auto-update.

@Rhaella, yes it is. The character import code (or rather, the character running away code; the import codes are in the specific areas you want them to appear in in BG2) is contained in this script. The empirical approach would be simply to pilfer the necessary script blocks and change the script names to reflect Isra.

If you are into any kind of WeiDU/Infinity Engine modding, have a look at the Import more NPCs into Shadows of Amn component of BGTTweaks, which will have a basic outline of the code you need to 'import' your NPC into Shadows of Amn. Alternatively, the Dark Side of the Sword Coast compatibility section of Setup-BGT.tp2 will also have your answer.

If you need more guidance than this, then either someone will need to do it for you or, as mentioned above, some modding knowledge is in order.

I can't personally identify which mods those spells belong to, but there are two ways to further this:

1. once identified which mods these spells belong, notify the respective mod authors to check that they are using opcode 318 correctly

2. if these spells belong to multiple mods, something or some mod may have f00bared STATS.IDS, preventing opcode 318 from working correctly. In this case finding which mod overwrote stats.ids or similar and restoring its backup could fix the issue.

Some mod is using the SetStat effect opcode incorrectly. Anyone out there using this currently? It doesn't necessarily have any impact on the game itself, but whatever some modder is trying to achieve just won't do anything.

Apologies for late reply. TobEx relies on the highest numbered stat in STATS.IDS to determine how much memory to assign for stats for the game session.

BGT-WeiDU v1.16 has been released! This is a maintenance release with bug fixes, compatibility features, and translation updates.
