Could you post your saved game?

[Ascension64]

Thanks. I'll have a look at the final save. Others are more knowledgable about the slowdowns so perhaps they can advise on that part.

EDIT: Could you also see if you find your .\override\ARAM00.BCS file and upload it somewhere? The transition appears to work fine on my relatively unmodded installation and an alteration to ARAM00.BCS by a mod might be causing the script to choke.

Because of your lags, see point 4 here:

Same guy here, finally took the time to register, got annoying to have to miss that damned color code every time - .-

As for the area file: Can't find it! My /override folder doesn't contain any area file with that name.
UPDATE: I ran a search on my BGII - SOA folder and found this: (Check the attachment) I took the area file from the generalized biffing and uploaded as an attachment.

And for the record, I figured out what was causing my slowdown issue. It was the one mod and dog, and apparently there was also an complication with scsII or something.. as per the one mod and dog forums( which have been inactive since 2006 or close to that.)


I've had quite a bit of trouble with this installation, and I may be forced to purge more of the mods from the list.. I better start making a list of unwanted mods so this stuff doesn't happen again.

As a side note, I keep on bumping into TONS of "unable to drop" items all over the game... SO ANNOYINg. And I don't know what's causing this! I accidentally click on a blank square in a random box, and it happens to be a unable to drop item without any graphics- .- Just makes me load every time..

Hmm, looks like some mods haven't worked out well with the changes to the transition.
Put the following edited ARAM00.BCS into your override directory and see if the transition works with your saved game. It won't affect your current game. However, if your autosave is very important in your current SoA import game, I suggest making a backup of it.

Also, would you be able to:
1. Go to your cmd.
2. Navigate to your mega-mod install directory.
3. If WeiDU.exe does not exist, copy one of the Setup-***.exe and rename it to WeiDU.exe
4. Type in the cmd (without quotes) "WeiDU --change-log aram00.bcs >> out.txt", then press Enter. Wait for it to finish.
5. Quit cmd, find out.txt newly created in your mega-mod install directory, and post its textual contents here.

Sorry but I don't have that installation any more... I've done a reinstall.

There were just too many things that I wasn't happy about, mesh that in with lots of bugs and bards having broken HLA's and more...

It simply warrants a clean start.

[Ascension64]

OK. I might be able to work out a few things from the screenshot you attached, so we haven't lost everything.

[Ascension64]

I am not sure how ARAM00.BCS got mauled with a duplicate Imoen check script blocks - not mod listed seems to have done that.

Looking at the mods that change ARAM00.BCS here, I would suggest changes to the Wild Mage additions mod to be consistent with BGTNeJ and BGTTweak with the implementation of item importation so that all the item checking occurs in one place. I suggest the following:

Setup-WildMage.tp2

Replace

EXTEND_TOP ~aram00.bcs~ ~WildMage/0/baf/wm_aram00.baf~[/quote]
with
[code]
COPY_EXISTING ~ARAM00.BCS~ ~override~
  REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK ~WildMage/0/baf/owm_aram00.baf~ ~WildMage/0/baf/nwm_aram00.baf~

Remove wm_aram00.baf

New
owm_aram00.baf

IF
  PartyHasItem("MISC47")  // Golden Pantaloons
  Global("IHavePants","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	SetGlobal("IHavePants","GLOBAL",1)
	Continue()
END

New nwm_aram00.baf

IF
  PartyHasItem("wm_sbook")
  Global("wm_bg1book","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	SetGlobal("wm_bg1book","GLOBAL",1)
	Continue()
END

IF
  PartyHasItem("MISC47")  // Golden Pantaloons
  Global("IHavePants","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
	SetGlobal("IHavePants","GLOBAL",1)
	Continue()
END

Perhaps someone could notify JOG of this.

Perhaps someone could notify JOG of this.

Sure, I'll do it.

For what it's worth, I had the same issue. The modified ARAM00.bcs script did not work initially. I had in my party Kivan, Imoen (IMOEN1), Jet'Laya, Conchobhair Strongblade, and Ferthgil the Trollslayer. I found that removing the "non-standard" NPCs from NTotSC allowed the cutscene to work (with the modified BCS file). I further discovered that simply removing Conchobhair prior to talking to Belt allowed the cutscene to work. However, the game crashed just a few seconds after the auto-save in SoA (after the dialogue with Gorion about the chores). When I re-loaded the auto-save I found that Jet'Laya and Ferthgil were in cages in Irenicus's dungeon. I decided to just play it safe and remove all 3 NTotSC characters prior to talking to Belt. I still needed to use the modified ARAM00.bcs script, though.

Attached is my Weidu.log, if interested.

I also have the same issue. The BGT transition is ok if there is no "non standard" NPCs.

OK, looks like I will have to re-jig the code for the non-standard NPCs as well.
