Hi Genie, any progress? I still hope to one day see this finished.



#543900 Problems with Zannaster again

Posted by maximus2001 on 17 July 2012 - 07:54 PM in Mega Mod Help

Well thanks for putting all the useful info into one post. Hopefully I will reach that part soon. On my last game it was buggy as well.

A few things-

1)That local variable can be found on the creature file like Beleg said. You open up Shadowkeeper, look at all cre files, find Zannaster, and click on Locals tab (the one before Globals). Just to check if it is there if you want, its probably quicker than NearInfinity.

2)What is level draining Nalia? A dracolich or wraith iirc. Try negative plane protection or one of the mod added items vs level drain.

3)I don't know why but in this game the only guys who sold freedom scrolls were in Waukeen's Promenade, and maybe the underdark. There is a sword from TDD or ROT that casts freedom/imprisonment 1/day so I keep that handy. Or use the scribe scrolls ability to make some more. (I find out how much they cost to scribe, and use Shadowkeeper to add them and minus the money it costs-its a lot faster)

4)You didn't mention any problems keeping the Company of Eight alive, or them turning hostile. That's a suprise, iirc that caused some big headaches.



#543899 An old problem, Tolgerias does not die.

Posted by maximus2001 on 17 July 2012 - 07:39 PM in Mega Mod Help

That's the old bug from BP. I had cheated a shapechange scroll to kill Tolgerias in my last game. Haven't had that problem playing without BP this time. Even though it is messed up, as long as you found a way to kill him the quest will continue normally from there. Perhaps it will be fixed in the next version.



#543897 Game will not run (TobExLoader only)

Posted by maximus2001 on 17 July 2012 - 07:35 PM in Mega Mod Help

This happened to me recently. Make sure that you used generalized biffing at the end of your install (and pick biff everything), because without it the game takes forever to start. Double check your weidu install to make sure it is there at the end of the list. The BWP installer didn't do it automatically.



#543893 Can we rename this forum please?

Posted by maximus2001 on 17 July 2012 - 06:30 PM in Mega Mod Help

Well considering that most of the posts are BWP related, I'd go with the name change. It is rare now to see someone trying a manual install of a megamod.

People have always confused BWP, BP, BGT and post in the other forums when chances are they are using BWP to install, or at least the pdf guide. Or the current BWP thread becomes 20 pages long when lots of people post their install problems.



#543892 Strange Chateau Irenicus

Posted by maximus2001 on 17 July 2012 - 06:19 PM in Mega Mod Help

I thought those boulders were from BP too, but I have them in my game to without BP.

All those errors with strange names etc. are from messed up strings in your dialogue.tlk file. Usually this happens when you reinstall and take something out of your install list. If this is a new install I would recommend a totally fresh install. Follow the install order from BWP.

BWP does add a boatload of new content, but it looks like you didn't install any of it. Check out the BWP linklist and peruse the mods there. There is a lot of stuff for BG1 and BG2.

I would export your character and save it somewhere, to copy back later. Or better yet, reinstall and use shadowkeeper to make your character the way it was in your last game, that's easier.



#542336 Animation trouble with Edwin

Posted by maximus2001 on 02 June 2012 - 11:25 AM in Infinity Animations

Hi Miloch. I was able to fix it by changing Edwin back to L Fighter female human, letting Degardin cast the spell, then using shadowkeeper to make him L Mage human and it worked.

I'm sorry I must have deleted the buggy save, all I have left is the one where it worked.

Any changing from L Fighter female human before the Degardin spell would produce the error iirc.



#542335 Tortured Souls 7.04 big problem

Posted by maximus2001 on 02 June 2012 - 11:05 AM in Mega Mod Help

So I've been going through my BWP tactics game with a few problems here and there that I was able to fix with NearInfinity or Dltcep. Now however I'm at wits end with this one.

I'm almost done with TS mod, only the last map to go and the game crashes when trying to get from TT0306 to TT0307 (the last map where you fight Kachiko's relatives in the pit battles with the special katanas).

The maps have been changed for these two areas, don't know if this is intentional or not. TT0306 works ok. TT0307 had a lot of errors when I looked at it in Near Infinity, stuff like "container is off the map", missing items (they are in the TS folder but not in override or biffed). The containers are off the map because it is a new tiny map compared to the one from TS 6.0.

I downloaded TS 6.0 and copied the map, tis, wed, jpgs, etc. and put them in the override folder. Now the map loads, but there are huge graphical errors (like the ones from a bad video card interaction or a corrupted map) and it is unplayable.

In the end I could go to an earlier save and skip the TS quest entirely, but I've spent six weeks on this game and would like to finish it. Or just reinstall without TS...

I don't know if this an incompatability problem with the new TS, I had no problems up until this point. Either my install was messed up or nobody else has gotten to this point with the new BWP install.

Any ideas?

#542333 Very minor bugs.

Posted by maximus2001 on 02 June 2012 - 10:42 AM in Mega Mod Help

Yes I had that same problem. It is fixed by doing what you did with the global. It is from SCS1, the slimes are replaced with DW# slimes (that's David Wallace the mod maestro), and so the game doesn't recognize that you finished the slime room.

I haven't seen your weidu log, but I think you have the same tactics install. I suspect you may have a few issues in BG2 as well, but that's just par for the course. As long as the bugs are minor, not game breaking like the ones I encounter now after playing for six weeks, aggghh.
