Sure, I will look into that.

Hey agb1, I did what you told me to do, and so far all of these mods I installed worked perfectly together, I'm waiting for Sword Coast Stratagems to finish and see if it works as well.

Glad it's going well so far.  No warnings or errors?  Edwin Romance should probably come out of Expert now that it's been updated to 2.0.7.

Not even a single error, except one warning with Tome & Blood saying that the Oracle kit needs Spell Selection Dialogue (I think I accidently skipped it though (or I didn't see it in the BWS selection) because when I installed it manually it told me to choose Spell Selection Dialogue and I did it and the kit worked fine in-game) other than that, everything went very smooth.

 

Here is the Tome & Blood debug file, for further investigation.

Looks like a problem with the new version 0.6 - you previously used 0.5 I think.  I just posted a report about it on the Beamdog forum and referenced your post here.

Glad to be of help.

I installed Lollorian's Lolfixer and the game still works fine, so neither Lollorian or the resource fixer messed up my game, I have a feeling it's generalized biffing.

I have a feeling that it's not that either.

[agb1]

Did you change your mod selection in any other way this time?

I don't know, I just thought it was generalized biffing because it changes file formats or something like that.

[dady977]

Yes I did, I only selected mods that I thought messed up my previous installation, this time.

[agb1]

Generalized biffing compresses files from the override file into biff archives, which was important for performance for the old pre-EE engine.  From recent reports it might be unnecessary for EE.

 

It's possible that generalized biffing was a contributing factor to your crashes before, but like Imp said, I doubt it was directly responsible.  A consequence of generalized biffing is that any mods installed afterwards need to be careful about the WeiDU commands they use (e.g., FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME vs FILE_EXISTS) to properly interact with files that have been biffed.  It's possible that one of the mods that we installed after generalized biffing in your last install wasn't coded to work with biffed files.

 

Unfortunately, your installation never actually started crashing this time, and there are a lot of differences compared to your previously selection, so it's hard to pinpoint what actually made the difference.  It is good to know that all of the expert mods you selected aren't causing you any trouble at least in starting the game.

 

Regarding lolfixer, one report said that items had incorrect icons when you look at their descriptions (everything looked like a crate).  Do you see this?

 

Please also upload your BiG World Upload.7z so I can look at your install log.  Something strange I noticed in the final weidu.log is that generalized_biffing was selected according to the lines at the top (expert mod in selection), but was never actually installed.  Did you skip it manually somehow?

I didn't skip installing Generalized Biffing manually, it somehow didn't install at all and was skipped by BWS, and sorry I can't upload the BiG World Upload file, because I deleted my experimental installation, sorry.

On the EEs, Biffing is really only needed if there are ~15,000+ files in the override folder. With my fairly heavily modded IWDEE install, I think I only got up to about 8,000.

On BGEE, and especially BG2EE, and especially especially EET, Biffing is more likely to be appropriate. But for IWDEE, Biffing should be disabled by default.

[dady977]

So, I just started another installation, and I paused BWS BG2 Tweak Pack, and my game is crashing, so agb1, one of the following mods I installed messed up my game, here is the weidu log, and turns out Generalized Biffing wasn't the issue, so we got that one out of the way, can someone please take a look at the log and tell me what could possibly crash my game?

I accidently deleted the file, what the hell is wrong with me today
