hey guys! this is my first posting here.

so i downloaded and installed all these awesome amazing sweet sexy-looking mods and then i was really excited. it's like big picture with a bunch of npc mods. i played chateau irenicus, and everything was smooth.

as soon as i left, it all looked good. the cutscene happened. irenicus was being a dick, the cowled wizards came, arrested imoen, all looked good. then as soon as they took her away (while the blue tranpsort circles were still visible) the npc yasraena said we should find imoen. then just before when minsc is supposed to have his cool rant about rescuing immy, the game crashes.

maybe its a problem with waukeen's promenade? i dunno. i saw people copy and paste their weidu stuff when they have problems so i'll do the same (though i have absolutely NO idea what it means)

 

Any help will be awesome! I love this game and i was really looking forward to playing some cool mods that i hadn't tried before.

Your install order is definitively a particular ... and it's probably best if you go back, and uninstall the game and reinstall it and use the latest BiG World Tools, and the BWS, and remember to customize the install selection via this:

 

@Eric P:Of course that's not an option on Mac ...

Uninstall aurora and install it last (WARNING: Will take a LONG time to uninstall aurora because it's at the top)

 

Or do a new install with BG2Fixpack first and SoS before TDD (but after BG2fixpack)... and Aurora last (can be before widescreen if needed)

[Eric P.]

I always install BG2 Fixpack before any other mods, then on from there. Unless any of the mods you want to install overwrite files instead of patching them, and are specifically advised to install before the Fixpack, I recommend this strategy.

 

I also recommend installing mods manually, one at a time, but that's just me (I prefer to drive stick rather than automatic ).

 

Good luck with the install! I'm doing one right now, too

Why install Aurora last?

[Lollorian]

Technically speaking, it has a patch that converts all CRE files in your game to not use _LOW animations (along with an EXE patch that enables additional animation slots)

If you install a mod after it that still uses _LOW animations, the game will look for animations that don't exist and crash and burn

 

Non-technically speaking, install aurora last because the readme says so

This mod should go fairly late in a mod install order: ideally after patches and fixpacks and before final "biffing" routines. It should also go after other mods that add creatures and mods that overwrite rather than patch game resources.

[Booinyoureye]

You guys are awesome! thanks for the quick responses. i'll try it out.

[Booinyoureye]

Wait... so should i start again? delete it all and start from scratch, or is there any way to just uninstall aurora and then play normally?

[Jarno Mikkola]

Well, my suggestion is to uninstall the game via the Control Panel etc. then remove the game folder and reinstall the game and then use the Tool linked.

 

Lollorians first suggestion is to run the setup-aurora.exe and let it uninstall all the mods you have installed with the U -option, then it will reinstall all the mods you have installed... but there's one thing he forgot , the game data is biffed by the mods that were not BorkpackedBWPFixpacked... which will prevent the Weidu.exe's functions from correcting the data that's lost in the old style biffing... which has at least the potential of corrupting your whole game... and it will take hours to un- and the re-install all those mods.

 

And the second suggestion is to correct the install order with a reinstall.

 

While Eric P.'s is for Mac users, as the BWS(& BWP's tools) won't work, as they aren't made for non-PC_operation_systems, in which case you are probably best off by trying something based on his work...

Now now Jarno-san, that assumes the OP has used the BWPBorkpack (which is a non-issue if the OP is using v11.4 because I'd updated the borkpack to properly uninstall everything in that update )

 

@Boo: If you're not using anything BWP related (or if you ARE but used the Borkpack v11.4), everything should uninstall/reinstall properly so Jarno's doomsday warnings can be ignored

[Jarno Mikkola]

Are you telling me that the todays weidu.exe can actually auto-uninstall the old style .bif files- between the auto-uninstalls, as they need the XYZuninstall.bat's to be ran between uninstalls ? I knew the GenBif could be undone, but this...

Edited by Jarno Mikkola, 24 February 2013 - 12:21 PM.

[Booinyoureye]

ummm.... i just uninstalled aurora, and so far it worked. but it also had some kind of error reinstalling Shadows over Soubar (so it said) but right now its just fine

[dabus]

If mods are not reinstalled that add text to the game, you can start a new game.

[Lollorian]

@Jarno: While I agree the old mods are old as shit, I'll point out that they're coded very nicely in this matter

All the megamods have an AT_UNINSTALL line in their TP2 that calls a BAT file that cleans up the BIFs and replaces the backed up override and chitin.key/dialog.tlk The reason the borkpack used to fail earlier was because the borkpack didn't allow the megamods to create backups in the first place (hence the megamods not uninstalling properly)

 

Now, I've made sure that those BATs only delete the BIFs and dont play around with the key/tlk files (so everything uninstalls peachy )

[Jarno Mikkola]

@Jarno: While I agree the old mods are old as shit, I'll point out that they're coded very nicely in this matter ...

Erhm, what I am asking is, can you confirm that the old mods are "compatible with the common WeiDU stack uninstall operation (whereas using end_biff you have to uninstall and reinstall it manually if you want to alter mods installed before the biffer)" ... that's a quotation from the GenBiff description.

So to confirm this --- one would need to first install say the aurora mod, then copy the game folder to elsewhere and then uninstall it there and install the SOS, TDD & TS-BP mods, then move the folders so the backup-ed aurora mod would be installed in the active game, and then install the SOS, TDD & TS-BP, and then uninstall the aurora mod on that install --- and then diff the two folders, and if there's changes...

 

This was because the weidu.exe uninstall won't wait for the AT_UNINSTALL .bats to run to completion before they execute the rest of the uninstalls...

[Lollorian]

Wait what?

 

If weidu won't wait for AT_UNINSTALL to finish before proceeding further, that could be considered a bug and should be reported to their forums I'll do an install later to confirm just in case (just with TDD and CtB)

 

The uninstall routines work properly when something fails during install in a BWP installation though
