Err... I've posted this elsewhere, but I'm posting again here...
At first, after we killed Mae'var, Edwin started babbling about Yakman, and I could reply with some comment about torches. I had nine options. For torches.
I thought of course I was screwed, but decided to try and fix it. To my surprise, attempting to reinstall the mod worked, and Edwin said something distinctly more Edwin-y.
I thought everything would be all fine and dandy from here on, so imagine my surprise when it happened again. This time, we're about to leave the Copper Coronet and he starts talking about Yaga Shura, which has no relation to anything. This has happened since yesterday, and I've tried to fix it by reinstalling the mod, but it gives me error messages, and since I'm not particularly computer savvy, I have no idea what to do about it.
There's multiple lines of "Error:" but there's two elements it repeats... it says "[RE/SETUP-RE.TP2] ERROR at line 164 column 7-37, Near Text: ~RE/Audio/ChanelleInstall.bat~" and sometimes after that it says "Parsing.parse_error, ERROR: parsing [RE/SETUP-RE.TP2]: Parsing.parse_error" and sometimes it just says "syntax error".
I really don't know what to do, and it's making me frantic. I've tried everything my small brain knows of, and still no difference. It wouldn't be so bad if I could continue and worry about the dialog later, but no matter what I do, he keeps stopping at the same moment whenever I reloaf.
What can be done about this?

Hi there!I have been playing BG2 from 4 years and I love this game . I've installed Edwin Romance and some of other mods (among others 'banter pack'). Edwin talks to me often. When I was leaving catacombs (after Bodhi's escape) Edwin began dialog. He was asking me about Thron of Bhaal and some other things. When he was ending, he said about document that I delivered to him when I worked for Mae'Var and he said that he has done everything and I should go with him to catacombs...Yeah, okay but I have no note in my journal. I went there and I haven't found anything. What should I do now?

[DeathAngel]

You're kind of posting in the wrong place this but to answer your question go to the catacombs and once there open the map and on the southern portion of it there should be a location dot... maybe... anyway go south and you'll find yourself in a new area. This is where you will find what you are looking for.

I've had a problem installing the mod. It says that it's installed, but in-game, there is no difference in Edwin.

After installing, did you open a new character/gam.? You can't play the mod on an existing file.

[Aliya]

Well, that's quite strange. Tell me, was he dead when Degardan showed up or he died during the battle?

On a side note - Degardan sometimes spawns far enought from party that his conversation doesn't fire, that might need fixing as well.

Degardan spawns an approaches the party with a special command CreateCreatureObjectOffScreen("DEGARD",Myself,0,0,0) // Degardan

And that's where I am in game...

PS: Checked Degardan dialog via IE; true, you can screw the quest with him. Maybe because the player is obliged to cover Edwin or something I don't know. Maybe it will be corrected in the future version.

Looked through the tra-files and noticed some typos:

banco.TRA:

@9 = ~Oh, and here is a fashion tip. That hat makes you look like a deranged old lady who is late for her own funeral. You might as well be wearing golden pantaloons and a feather boa for all the credibillity it gives you.~

credibillity -> credibility

eredwina.TRA:

@15 = ~Poor dear. You're just delirious from transforming into the superior gender. But don't you worry. I'm with you all the way, and I'll teach you everything you need to know about being a woman. Including your...er...regular feminine aches and pains. You'll have to get used to that as well, unless we can turn you back soon. Sure, you'll fell like you're about to either die or kill somebody, but that's quite normal.~

fell -> feel

@54 = ~All right, this is * really * creeping me out. Seeing you like this is too disturbing for words. Now, I may not be the cuddly type, but getting you back in shape is in my own interest too. Care to tell be about it?~

be -> me

@66 = ~As they should be, of course. Even in this form I have the perfect body, designed to drive others wild with lust or jealousy. (Awkward as it may be, at times.) They may resent me as the wish, I don't care, as long as the sentiment isn't shared by...*sniff*~

as the wish -> as they wish

eredwina2.TRA:

@1 = ~What you you mean?~

you you -> do you

@44 = ~You wanted to know what I can think of, CHARNAME? I will tell you. It involves a very sharp knife, some oil and salt, three blind mice and a piece of string. You would not even want to * think * about so much as going near another woman afterwards. But as I am regrettably out of mice, I'll have to settle for the brief solution, one involving the words 'crotch', 'hot', 'your', and 'unbearable agony'.~

CHARNAME -> <CHARNAME>

@58 = ~I wouldn't expect you to understand the value of a scientific approach to wizardry, you oafish orangutan. The most complex experiment you could manage would probably be to walk and chew at the same time. (And I suspect he woudl fail miserably.)~

woudl -> would

eredwinj.TRA:

@35 = ~I wonder though...are you truly capable of handling this powerful item of yours? I'm not sure this is sucha a good idea, I think we should leave it be.~
sucha -> such

erlovetalk.TRA:

@279 = ~Oh, Master Dekaras's tutelage has proven highly beneficial to me over the years, I assure you. Not only the parts of it pertaining to the Art of Magic. He helped make me what I am today.~

Dekaras's -> Dekaras'

@312 = ~Yes, great idea Edwin. Assuming we don't killed by Irenicus or his countless minions, or by any of the other hostile and incredibly powerful people, organizations or monsters baying for my blood, then by all means let us rule the Multiverse together. I'd advise you to make up a Plan B, though.~

don't killed -> don't get killed

@322 = ~If you like it so much then you can wear it. I'm not about to make a spectacle of myself. Speaking of which, I cannot you believe you haven't made up some kind of contingency plan for your own future as well. Do enlighten me. I need a good laugh.~

I cannot you believe -> I cannot believe

@327 = ~Ah, my sparrowhawk, your tale of hypothetical heroism is most moving. <CHARNAME>... might we not stop to rest for while?~ [HAERDA28]

for while -> for a while

erlovetalk2.TRA:

@75 = ~Forget the insult you wish to. But I will not. And if you prefer a dead sibling to me, then I will not waste myself on you any longer.~

insult you wish to -> insult if you wish to

@198 = ~I really don't know what his intentions are at the moment. After the mission failed, and after I was marked as a rogue wizard, he might have been implicated as my accomplice. And I'm afraid he has excellent reason to be upset with me. He...was my friend as well as my mentor you see. My one true friend. I owed him everything, but I betrayed him. And then there are my superiors among the Wizards, who no doubt didn't limit themsleves to sending a single agent after me.~

themsleves -> themselves

@306 = ~I have feelings for you too, Edwin. Very strong ones. You are like nobody else that I know, in a good way. And nothing would make me happier than for us act on those feelings.~

us act -> us to act

@484 = ~Do you see that man approaching, <CHARNAME>? I've seen his pompous face before, I think. Yes, I recognize him now. A professional messenger, famous for tracking down his quarry wherever it may be, but infamous for the delight he takes in bearing bad news. 'Terl the Banshee' they call him. (Some poor fool is no doubt about to receive he written equivalent of a brick dropped on his head from a great height.)~

he written -> the written

ermazzy.TRA:

@15 = ~In that case, CHARNAME, please do. I thought we meant more to each other than that, but it appears I was sadly mistaken. Mazzy, as I was about to say...~

CHARNAME -> <CHARNAME>

ERLOVETALK25.TRA:

@116 = ~It wasn't really Saradush that Yaga-Shura was after, <CHARNAME>. It was Bhaalspawn. He said as much, and conveniently enough the Children of Bhaal were all more or less gathered in one place, like sheep to be slaughtered. Think about that, <CHARNAME>Forget the suffering of Saradush, and think about the game-board and just how the pieces have been placed against you. That may help you in the days ahead.~

<CHARNAME>Forget -> <CHARNAME>. Forget

@118 = ~I'm not a Paladin,<CHARNAME>, I'm a realist. A Paladin no doubt would whine and moan and tear his hair at the destruction of this town, whether that would be helpful or not. And then he would draw his sword and scream and rant at the stars, challenging the gods to a duel as dramatic thunder accompanied his every word. (Whereupon he would of course be struck by lightning for stupidly waving a sword about in a thunderstorm, and good riddance.) But I prefer to use a bad situation to my advantage. ~

Paladin,<CHARNAME> -> Paladin, <CHARNAME>

@121 = ~You would claim responsibility for the deaths of these people, <CHARNAME>? Why? You did not kill them. You did not know them. Why should you blame yourself over their fate, these weaklings who were so much less than you are? Why should you let their corpses weight you down, especially now when you need to be stronger than ever? You are a child of Murder, you should take pride in what you see.~

weight -> weigh
