if we have a BWP install (I did the Tactics install), should we just dump the contents of all of those .7s files from that post into our Override folder?

Damn totally forgot about this

Not into the override folder They should overwrite files in your BGII-SoA folder BEFORE the mod is installed All the 7zs have the folder structure preserved so it should easily overwrite stuff

Or youcould just run the BWPFixpack.bat, which should apply all fixes quickly (even if you don't install using the install.bat)

Thankms Lollorian. So are these files all part of the latest BWP Fixpack?

[Lollorian]

Yup

Yup

Awesome! Thanks Lollorian!

Anyone have word on Vecna v24? I haven't seen any post from Jube in a while.

Finally there's a challenging mod! I've almost started thinking there's nothing to do for high-level characters instead of easy watcher's keep : D

The thing I absolutely love about this mod is that it consists of separate challenges that can be played in any order and if I feel like I cannot complete some of them for now, I can leave the astral plane and come back later. But somehow the central teleport stopped working after I completed a few battles =( I killed all those pit fiends, visited a few empty areas(wait, are they supposed to be empty?), and when I tried to go back, the central teleport which was supposed to bring me back to atkathla stopped working. Is it a bug or a feature?

It doubt that's why it's failing to install, that might just be the last thing you see because it's trying to uninstall something it never installed, because it failed earlier. Post the textual contents of your SETUP-VECNA.DEBUG file in *SPOILER* tags (to collapse it so it doesn't spam the forum).

[Miloch]

You should've seen this in the installer window, but maybe you skipped over it:

A mod has overwritten BG2 animations in your game. Extract IA_BG2_Restores.rar
to your vecna/restore folder.

An installed mod requires IA_Base_Anims.rar extracted to your
vecna/content folder.

An installed mod requires IA_IWD.rar extracted to your
vecna/content folder.

An installed mod requires IA_BGII_IWDII.rar extracted to your
vecna/content folder.

An installed mod requires IA_Wh_Dr_Wyv_LoP.rar extracted to your
vecna/content folder.

NOTE: Download all content from Spellhold Studios. Each content module is at
www.shsforums.net/index.php?autocom=downloads&showcat=98. Extract all archives
using the "Do not extract paths" option on the Advanced tab in WinRAR. Also,
make sure the "Destination path" on the General tab terminates in /content or
/restore after vecna (there are no subfolders beyond that).

For WinZip, make sure the "Use folder names" box is *unselected*. You should
end up with a bunch of .bam files and no subfolders in your "content" and/or
restore folders. Rerun this installer once you've extracted all content.

FAILURE:
Required content missing.

So you need to follow those instructions by downloading and extracting the required animation modules in order to install the mod successfully.

[Miloch]

For the slowdown, you probably need to install Generalised Biffing. For the crashes, you probably need to start a new game after installing/uninstalling any mods with significant content (like Vecna). If you've done that, make sure you have Logging On=1 under Program Options in your baldur.ini file and post the contents of baldur.err after reproducing the crash.

[Miloch]

hey, sorry to trouble you so much... but there is no such line as "Logging On" in my baldur.ini, should I just write it in there?

Yes, add Logging On=1 under the Program Options heading.

A list of crashes I've encountered:

(note: I'm using Rolles recipes, Ruad recipes, Weimer item upgrades, Tashia NPC, Planar Sphere, Vecna w/ spell fixes and hotfix v2, G3 Fixes, G3 Tweaks, EPortraits, stuff of the magi)

-Summoning Shangalar Resurrected causes a crash immediately after the enemies appear (if you have Auto Pause on Enemy Sighted the game will successfully pause and won't crash until you unpause).

-Casting the spell "Hero" crashes the game immediately.

-Casting the spell "Instant Army" crashes the game immediately after the summoned units appear.

-The traps on the pipes in Android 0's room crash the game if you set them off (more specifically, the purple ball crashes the game when it impacts your character)..

Hi,

I have a little question, can i use the Bigworld Fixpack with Vecna mod, because when I used it, Bigworld skip Vecna cause some errors.

Thanks

Some item stuff

AAITM178.ITM error: Equipped Effect #0 Opcode (177) - Non-existent Resource (TB#VECNA.EFF)
- Copied TB#VECNA.EFF from Refinements as AAVECNA.EFF (moved into vecna/eff so it gets copied by the mod during install) and changed references to TB#VECNA into AAVECNA in the itm file. Also changed the parent item slot in AAVECNA.EFF into ARMOR

You can find fixed versions of the above items in the attachments in this post

AACRE173.CRE needed some heavy duty hex editing to prevent WeiDU from messing it up in one of its fixup routines Details and fixed file in this post
