This is NOT critical.

Plz open TP2 in some text editor and correct corresponding items' patching:

COPY ~RoTerror/itm/BLADEHA1.itm~  ~override~
  SAY NAME2 @1014
  SAY DESC @1015

COPY ~RoTerror/itm/BLADEPA1.itm~  ~override~
  SAY NAME2 @1016
  SAY DESC @1017

COPY ~RoTerror/itm/BLADESO1.itm~  ~override~
  SAY NAME2 @1018
  SAY DESC @1019

Without that their descriptions will contain some incorrect elements.

I changed the Setup-RoT.[/color]tp2 by deleting the lines with the description and adding "@1015" etc as in the instructions and I ended up with a PARSE ERROR and could not install. Let me see if I can post what i did...

Changed: I deleted the highlighted description.
COPY ~RoTerror/itm/BLADEHA1.itm~ ~override~
SAY NAME2 @1014
SAY DESC ~This sword is the personal weapon of @500. It inflicts crushing damage on enemies, but nothing more is known of it.

Added: And added the highlighted description here.
COPY ~RoTerror/itm/BLADEHA1.itm~ ~override~
SAY NAME2 @1014
SAY DESC @1015

I did all three of the descriptions this way. Also, I tried copying the RoT.tp2 to my desktop and changing it there, then copying and overwriting the file in my BGII directory, and I ended up with this error when I tried to install:

[SETUP-ROT.TP2] PARSE ERROR at line 6745 column 11-11

ERROR: parsing [SETUP-ROT.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error
ERROR: problem parsing TP file [SETUP-ROT.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error

Press ENTER to exit.

If I don't make the changes it seems to install just fine. Anyway I guess i'll post my WeiDu log!
If anyone could tell me what I did wrong I would much appreciate it! And, yes, I read that this isn't a necessary fix, but if I like to avoid incorrect descriptions if possible.

I apologize for the absurdly large post, but when I tried to attach my WeiDu.txt it said files with that extension were not permitted....

I had the same thing with the parse error issue, so I just re-extracted and it loaded fine as well.

[Azazello]

I discovered a conflict with the way aPack (Rogue ReBalancing Pack) and RoT modify TOOLTIP.2DA.

If installed together there occurs a mis-alignment of the table. This is not a game-breaker, nor is it an install-breaker, but it may cause some gameplay problems. I reached Chapter 5 with only apparent trouble was that thrown weapons had their 'melee/thrown' mouse-over text in the reverse order.

This change must be made in the aPack TP2.

Ideally, aPack should be installed before any mod that modifies TOOLTIP.2DA, as this fix will structure the table into a standardize format.

Change this:

COPY_EXISTING	 ~TOOLTIP.2DA~			   ~override/TOOLTIP.2DA~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~				  1			2		   3~  ~				  1			2		   3		   4~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~BRDFLUTE	  12025		23791	   25958~ ~BRDFLUTE	  12025		23791	   25958	   64209~  UNLESS ~64209~ // Spirit Warrior

to this:

//********* expand TOOLTIP.2DA to required_columns - in order to update BRDFLUTE entry ************
//********* Shamelessly copied from 'Reign of Terror' mod ************

COPY_EXISTING	 ~TOOLTIP.2DA~			   ~override/TOOLTIP.2DA~

//********* input parameter ************
 SET required_columns = 4
//**************************************
 SET rows=2
 SET rows_prev=0
 SET col_cnt=0
 WHILE "%rows%">1 BEGIN
   col_cnt = col_cnt + 1
   rows_prev = rows
   COUNT_2DA_ROWS col_cnt rows
 END
 col_cnt = col_cnt - 1
 SET ccc = col_cnt - 1

 PATCH_IF 1 BEGIN
   SPRINT str_add ""
   SPRINT str ~%ccc%~
   FOR(cnt="%col_cnt%"; cnt<="%required_columns%"; cnt+=1) BEGIN
	 SPRINT str "%str%"^"		  %cnt%"
	 SPRINT str_add "%str_add%"^"		 -1kkkkkk"
   END

   READ_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 3 "test"
   PATCH_IF( "%test%"=1 ) BEGIN
	 SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 3 "0				  1"
   END

   PATCH_IF("%ccc%"<"%required_columns%") BEGIN
	 SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 ccc ccc "%str%"

	 FOR(j=1; j<="%rows_prev%"; j+=1) BEGIN
	   READ_2DA_ENTRY j ccc col_cnt "last"
	   SPRINT str "%last%"^"%str_add%"
	   SET_2DA_ENTRY j ccc col_cnt "%str%"
	 END
   END
 END
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

   COUNT_2DA_ROWS col_cnt rows
 END

 SET ccc = col_cnt - 1

 FOR(cnt="%present_cols%"; cnt<"%col_cnt%"; cnt+=1) BEGIN
   SPRINT str_add "%str_add%"^"		 -1"
 END
 REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~kkkkkk~ "%str_add%"

//********* END OF Shamelessly copy from 'Reign of Terror' mod ************

Definitely works in a non-MegaInstall build. YMMV for a MegaInstall.
