OK, I have a problem with the transition from BG1 to BG2. I finished BG1, transisitioned seeminly fine, watched the cutscene with irenicus, then walked around for a bit, saved the game, and quit. When I went back to play now I try to load my saved game and the first thing that happens is that the BG2 intro video plays. (right after I load the game)

After it plays, the screen goes back to where I am, but its stuck like it is going to play a cutscene but cant. I cant do anything but hit ALT-F4 to quit. (no menus, cursor, etc.) I tried removing the video from my baldur.ini, renaming the file, loading a different save game, etc.

It works if I load a BG1 saved game, but not a BG2 saved game. I do have every mod installed pretty much except NeJ. Could this be a CtB problem? I never used CtB before, and I have Candlekeep chores begone installed. But that whole cutscene seemed to work fine (like I said, it was working fine right afterwords, its just when I quit and tried to load a saved game.) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Let me know if you need anymore info. I have had zero problems with this install until now. Thanks everyone.

Create a GLOBAL "ENDOFBG1" and set it's value to 2. Load your game and it should work. Seems to be an area script problem when CTB is installed that causes this to not be set sometimes.

Thank you very, very much.  It worked like a charm.  I just used shadowkeeper, and set GLOBAL "ENDOFBG1" to 2.  Awesome.  thank you.

Is it a problem with CtB proper? Or it is only Chores-be-Gone that is the problem?

Seems to be a BGT problem actually. I've had it occur with no other mods installed. It happens if you start a BG2 game and load while still in AR0602. I think this is what causes it.

rAR0602:
IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
HideGUI()
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
Continue()
END

xAR0602:
IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SmallWait(10)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
Continue()
END

IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SmallWait(10)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
Continue()
END

This seems to cause "NewGame" to be immediately set to 1, making the next 2 checks false if the player starts a BG2 game. This causes ENDOFBG1 to stay at 0 unless the player beats Sarevok. After laoding, the game checks ENDOFBG1 and, if it's 0, enters an endless cinema.

Well, what you have there is fine, but the scripts are used such that the existing script block in rAR0602 is REPLACED by the script blocks in xAR0602. That means that the first block you have there doesn't exist after you install BGT-WeiDU (unless CtB changes it). Overall, one of the two remaining script blocks must trigger of the last two blocks you show.

I think it has something to do with when the CTB cutscene starts.

Changing this:
IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SmallWait(10)
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
Continue()
END

IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SmallWait(10)
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
Continue()
END

to this:
IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
SmallWait(10)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
Continue()
END

IF
OnCreation()
Global("NewGame","AR0602",0)
Global("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetCursorState(TRUE)
FadeToColor([1.0],0)
SetGlobal("ENDOFBG1","GLOBAL",2)
SetGlobal("NewGame","AR0602",1)
SmallWait(10)
StartMovie("INTRO15F")
Continue()
END

fixed the problem for me.
