After installing tortured souls as part of the mega mod instructions a lot of subsequent installs got a
"the expression has a typo....." error message.

Now I used TS ? BP v6.09 not TS ? BP v6.04.02 as contained in the instructions because I couldn't find the lattewr file anywhere and assumed (perhaps remarkably foolishly) that the higher version number file should be ok. (and if this is the problem, where can I get v6.04.02).

First question- is it all buggered beyond repair?
Second Question- if it is buggered can I in future not bother installing tortured souls as part of the mega mod since almost every time I've modded BG2 in the last two years when including TS something has always gone wrong.

The only mods I've installed not on the mega install list are Dingos experience tweaker (reducing all monster and quest XP to 75%) .

I'll attach my weidu.log if anyone thinks it might be useful

you can ignore those warnings: they're harmless warnings that weidu is spitting out to inform the mod author that if they port their mod over to different operating systems they're gooing to have issues (IIRC). if it installed on yr game, those warnings ar cosmetic and you can ignore them.

Installing TS-BP 6.09 over TS-BP 6.04.02 is a wise choice.

And yes, you can do a mega install without TS-BP if you like.

Thanks for the swift replies. Already have a few problems though:

1) Jaheira's innate ability is enchant +3 halberd (which doesn't work).
2) When i sleep in the friendly arms Inn the game crashed (I assume its one of the special dreams for a bhaalpower. Anyone know how to get around these problems?

Not in chapter two, at least. Dreams occur only when you reach Nashkel (chapter three).

Please post your weidu.log.

if it's not loading the dreams, it's usully cos they weren't installed when you installed BG1. did you do a full BG1 install - which means selecting 'custom' and checking every box, including movies?

i'd rather it wasn't caused by this - cos you'll probably have to re-install, altho you can try manually installing the movies, but i can't guarantee this'll work (you can also test yr install, unless i'm confused, by clicking on the movies option on the main BG2 load screen, and trying to play the dreams).

that said: is it crashing at the first attempt to sleep with Jaheira in yr party? because the other option (going by her clearly erroneous innate ability in yr game) is that her broken innate is causing the crash - which a broken innate ability will do when it attempts to re-charge. so yr other (and far less drastic) option would be to open a saved game prior to sleeping with DLTCEP or NI (or possibly SK, if yr lucky) and remove Jaheira's innate 'make halberd' ability - there's a strong chance this'll get rid of the crash.

as for what's causing Jaheira to erroneously think she can make magical halberds innately - my guess would be

~SETUP-NEJ2.TP2~ #0 #2 // Priest of Sylvanus (Druid) Kit and Improved Character Jaheira.

however, as it's at the very beginning of yr install order, with all the big mods after it, i would not recommend uninstalling it, unless yr prepared to do a full re-install if and when the uninstalling fails.
