... the mod isn't coded to use WeiDU's inherent tisunpack ...

Time to fixpack it then, isn't it ?

Ssssh don't give anyone any evil ideas now

More updates:
* Updated mod/component descriptions for Area Patcher, Big Picture, Innate Fix, Scales of Balance
BWP/BGT:
* Added Revised Battles to conflicts (Improved Shade Lord, Improved Drizzt, Improved Mencar Pebblecrusher/Tavern Brawl, Improved Fire Giant temple)
* Added BP 150 as dependency for the BP improved encounters components that use BP scripts (apparently all except 1175, 1225, 1250, 1425 and 1450)
This will prevent combining BP improved encounters components with SCS AI (including BP's version of Improved Ascension)
* Moved BP core component (0) to Big BG2 Mods category (from AI)
* Moved BP Innates Fix component (10) to Corrections (from AI)
* Moved Might & Guile components (120, 160, 180) from 0001 -> 0111 / 0000
* SCS pre-selections: "remove candlekeep tutorial NPCs" instead of "skip candlekeep altogether"; price increase tweaks for BG2 switched to most expensive choices for Tactical pre-selection

* Update conflicts rules according to BWP 15.6

[agb1]

There is also a test branch available with everything above plus a new install order for BP (after SCS) and with BP AI and BP encounters preferred over SCS for Tactical pre-selection

Need to investigate whether the SCS BG1 encounters can be installed with BP AI -- currently BWS has rules that prevent this combination

Does the BWS function in MacOS? Because I just switched to mac.

BWS only works on Windows because it is implemented using AutoIt, an automation scripting language that is Windows specific.  I do not know of a similar tool for MacOS, unfortunately.

[subtledoctor]

To whom it may concern:

 

I've updated Scales of Balance to v4.2 - the spell changes with the Wizard Tweaks should work with AI wizards now.

[agb1]

For a deprecated mod, SoB is surprisingly lifelike.  Kidding aside, that's great news.  Thanks for the updates!

No. You can try to use a Windows-in-MacOS computer, and you need a Windows BG2 game and it should be alright, but it won't work on just the regular Mac... The main reason is the tools it today uses are Windows only unfortunately.

Ha ha I know. The only part of it I'm still paying attention to are the Wizard Class Tweaks. Faith's & Powers is pretty stable - as soon as it is released I'm going to remove all the cleric & Druid stuff from SoB. But SoB will continue to survive just for the Wizard Tweaks.

I have been submitting a lot of updates on the bp-test branch that haven't yet made it onto the BWS master branch, so I encourage users to try the test branch and give me feedback:

 

Download link is here:  https://bitbucket.or...get/bp-test.zip

 

Most recent updates on the bp-test branch (not on master yet):

 

Added subtledoctor's new APR Fix to selections for game types BG2, BG2EE, BG1EE, IWDEE and CA

Added EET Tweaks total XP cap component to selection for game type BG1EE (K4thos recently made the component compatible with all game types)

Universal Clear Fog of War for CA is now de-selected by default instead of being marked as an Expert component -- no known issues

 

Improved BP Balancer component descriptions

 

BWP/BGT rules:

Added reflexive dependency for Prestige Kitpack (all components need first component)

Improved conflicts rules for Nymph AI

I'm eager to try the test branch, but would that break my current savegame with a previous BWS version?

You can have multiple copies of the game.. like I have had about 10.
Yeah, you can't install the ToB twice, but you can copy the directory etc.

Yeah I know.

 

However, can I continue my savegame with a different BWS version? I really don't want to see Irenicus killing shadow thieves/mages for the umpteenth time.

No.
But that's the best part of the gam... ahh, nevermind.

Why it isn't possible to use the same saved game after installing a different selection of mods?  The contents of your saved game are tightly linked to your current mod selection.

 

Your saved game includes references to game resources (such as spells/abilities and text like creature names, descriptions of items, descriptions of spells).  Some of these references are numbers ("String References") that point to lines in dialog.tlk.  Those lines are copied into dialog.tlk by WeiDU from the various mods you installed, and so unless you install exactly the same mods in exactly the same order, the numbers will no longer point to the correct lines (or worse, if you installed less mods, the dialog.tlk will be shorter and those numbers might point to lines that don't even exist).  Also, discovered locations and connections and names on the worldmap will be affected in the same way.  

[The Imp]

And you can install custom or altered kits, and do it in different orders and this will also make the characters you have in the game unusable in the new game cause the kit reference point to the wrong files, and then your fighter kit has thief abilities.
A non existing animation file will lead the game to crash to desktop and so -fun- on.
So the obvious answer is the already give: No.

Seems like some of NPC Kit's options is still being defaulted to Recommended in BG2 EE.This is using BWS beta branch 5753d8081d53.

 

Still getting this error:
