wanted to let you know that there is a minor error with the installation of the latest BG1NPCSoA

seems that there is a file called backup instead of a folder. When using an automated installer (BWS beta) it crapped out and wouldn't install because the backup folder wasn't found. I deleted the backup file and was able to manually install just fine. weidu will create the backup folder if it isn't present but I guess it hangs it there is a file called backup instead.

Yeah, that's weird. I have no idea how that got there.

I have added it to the list of things that I will change for the next version.

There's problem with Deekin not in party when meeting with Bodhi at Graveyard. Bodhi dialogue breaks because there isn't (InParty("deekin")) check at bodhi.dlg.

Hmmm.. It looks like I need to add some additional checks for his dialogs. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

One clarification about the issue. Problem is in Deekin.dlg interjection not in Bodhi.dlg.

Then again you probably know that but i thought to mention it.

I fixed it locally (adding those inparty checks) and things went ok.

It looks like I'm running into the same problem.

Edit: Or at least, this is what is happening.

- the BWP also seems to change the BACKUP line in your TP2 to:
BACKUP ~BG1NPCSoA/backup~

Uhm. I know that this is kind of a BiG World problem, but could you consider fixed component numbers?
If you remove and add components and the BWP/BWS needs to be updated to match those numbers, it keeps me from updating the link to your mod in our list (which is here). Otherwise people would get the wrong content - like selecting Kagain and getting Faldorn for example.

From reading some code, I'd guess it would go like this:

BEGIN ~BG1 NPCs, Shar-Teel, Yeslick, Garrick, Branwen & Skie~ DESIGNATED 0
...
BEGIN ~Kagain's Korner -> Store w/only vanilla items (lite)~ DESIGNATED 5
...
BEGIN ~Shar-Teel, Yeslick, Garrick, Eldoth, Branwen & Skie: ToB~ DESIGNATED 100

Pretty cool!

Okay. But I'm not sure exactly what I have to do. Would simply putting DESIGNATED 0-whatever, after my components do the trick?

After every BEGIN line, there should be a DESIGNATED line with a consecutive number after it. Leave some room between numbers if you might want to add components in between them at some later point (so e.g. 0, 10, 20 or whatever).
