Alright, so first off, just wanted to start off by thanking all these mod authors for their time!

 

Anyways, I have been trying to get a small collection of these fellas to work more seamlessly and can't seem to figure it out.

 

I recently re-installed the mods and although it says they are successful, the bug report to my untrained eyes looks like some errors were occuring. I attached the debug in .txt format if anyone wants to bother looking. Despite what looks like some errors in re-installs, probably from uninstalling other mods and creating false pathing, things seem to work correctly and I get:

Alright, so what's the problem?

 

Some of the items appear invisible in boxes and when I pick them up they become unremovable items in my inventory, forcing me to go back to a quicksave and not pick up said item.

 

Some of the, I'm guessing? New characters, have no names or visible dialogue. For instance there is some knight that was standing in front of the copper coronet with no name underneath, just a blank scroll. I went up and and talked to him, but there was no visible dialogue options to click on. I clicked randomly in the blank space and then it said my map and journal were updated and the guy walked away. The journal entry is blank and there is no new map entry.

 

As well, Athkatlan is now in Icewind Dale of the Big Picture map, which is very strange.

 

Enemies now say some totally random lines when fighting, which is confusing and entertaining.

 

Quicksave info now cycles through a description of Yoshimo's sword and a couple other strange things.

 

I did also once have to shadowkeeper myself out of a particular battle with some enemy that ate planetars for breakfast when I was towards the beginning of the game. Not sure if that was tactics related, but it felt bugged as it was not described as a difficult battle in forums when I looked. Wish I could recall the exact encounter for more specific information. When I did that, I added summon planetar for the battle and since I was already at it, added bags of holding to all my guys, as I hate having to bother with finding space. After the battle I removed the ability to summon planetar and kept the bags but dropped or sold whatever was in them.

 

Otherwise, things have run smoothly, the battles have definitely been interesting, and the content seems to be working...ish.

 

Any help/advice on how to get things working perfectly would be much appreciated.

Couple days later and twenty or so reinstalls wiser I can definitely see where I went way wrong here.

 

Anyways, I got things running smoothly and about as proper as I can (definitely some strange avatar glitches but that's about it as far as I can tell.)

 

After delving into the big world rabbit hole, I finally found that... it seems broken? Hard for me to tell if I am doing everything right much of the time.

 

Anyways, I was unable to get the big world installer to put the bp-worldmap and infinity animations stuff in a proper order to install, so it would always come back with errors. I had to eventually manually install all the mods I wanted, putting the animations and map right after g3fix. Additionally, one of the animation rar's (I think the IWD one) had the same names as another content rar, so I had to rename all of these for all the content to unzip properly. (yep, remembered to select no path and everything )

 

So at last, re ordering things manually seemed to work.

 

Couple last things I was curious about.

 

I put BP second to last then g3 tweaks and then general biffed.

 

1) Does that seem good?

2) Some files were too large for weidu to biff (I guess the max size is ~16.5mb) so in order for this program to work, I had to go into the override file and temporarily delete(saved them for restore in recycle) all files over that limit, ran the program successfully and then restored all the files that were too large. Is this likely going to affect things? And is there any way I can biff these larger files?

3) Anyone know how to fix Edwin's right panel avatar being a question mark?

 

edit: and is it ok to put scsii or tactics mod on top of BP? Which is better for multi-mod installs?

 

Meh. Doubt anyone will respond to me, but it is worth a shot!
