Assuming that is the only issue...

 

Add

 

APPEND ~spell.ids~ ~2302 WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC~ UNLESS ~WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC~
APPEND ~stats.ids~ ~134 STATE_DISEASED_FIX~ UNLESS ~STATE_DISEASED_FIX~

 

somewhere in the BP.TP2

 

or manually add

 

2302 WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC
to the SPELL.IDS

 

and

134 STATE_DISEASED_FIX
to the STATS.IDS files in the override

 

 

... before installing the BP components

Thank you for the help. I appreciate you.


i remember those good old days when we all sat in my basement smoking cigars drinking koolaid and playing ad&d with our stubby pencils.
rest in peace E.D

Was downloading the new bws and started a new install. Was wondering a few things:

in my download folder that I used already time ago there is BiG World Installpack v15.7 that was downloaded 13/06/2016

Right Now (25/07/2016 23:03) it downloaded BiG World Installpack v15.6.2 . Is 15.6 the most up to date version? O_o? According to the version it doesn't seem to be...


Edit 2: can you add the following mods to bWS?

One is a potion mod (to let friendly arm inn have more potions)

Then this one;


and this one (it needs only one file to be copied to override, no weidu install):

On the BWS before the last commit I had problems installing mods with kits(BGee Tactics install) but dl'ing this file 25STWEAP.2DA and dropping it into my over-ride folder did the trick. I did read that one of the latest patches fixed this but failed on my install. Is this a file that's common inside a BG2 install?

@Hack'N'Slash that was an issue on Beamdog's side... it means you are using EE v2.0 or 2.1. Beamdog kindly and promptly fixed the problem, so if you update to 2.3 it should go away.

A complete reinstall(with the latest patch) might be the best solution for all your problems. As in, uninstall the game, remove the mod folders from the game, reinstall the game and reinstall the mods. And yeah, you need to restart the game from the start...

OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

RC2 will be released soon.

 

A BWS with all the correct install order for eet install and the automatic fixes for the mods that need them would be godly.

~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #4150 // Allow the Cowled Wizards to detect spellcasting in most indoor, above-ground areas in Athkatla

 

This is not a selectable component in the current version of BWS - it, like the Sensible Entrance Points component previously, is simply missing.

 

(e): It seems like...

 

~BG2FIXPACK/SETUP-BG2FIXPACK.TP2~ #0 #100 // Party Gets XP for Sending Keldorn to Reconcile With Maria: v10 BWP Fix

 

...is missing, as well?

 

(e): For Item Revisions, it seems like BWS does not install "Revised Shields Bonuses", even if you have it selected. I definitely have it selected in my latest selection, but it does not appear in my weidu log, nor did I ever receive an error about it when installing.

 

(e): It also didn't install anything from Level 1 NPCs, even though it extracted the install files to my BG2 directory...not sure what happened with this install.

 

(e): O.K., I redid the install...Level 1 NPCs mostly installed correctly this time...specifically, the Tweak Proficiencies component did not install properly, and more specifically, though I selected "Allow thieves, mages and bards to place one star in any weapon type", BWS did not actually make it do so. When fixing it manually, I also noticed that BWS is missing a bunch of subcomponents for this component - deliberate, or..? I can't comment on the Item Revisions component because I changed its component designation in the item_rev.tpa and in select.txt, and it installed correctly this time...someone might want to check that out to make sure it's working and it wasn't just a fluke in my install. Another missing component from BWS is Level 1 NPC's "Change Anomen's knighthood reward/penalty" component - again, simply not there in BWS.

Hey guys/gals, long time no see, I have a really good install from about 4 months ago and it works really well, so well that I skipped the new update to not ruin it, should I go for he new update to BG 2: EE and do a fresh BWS install or should I just stay on m old modded game that runs really well?

 

Also,can anyone tell me what's new in BWS, if anyone is willing, of course.

My advice is always, even though you know the process now, you might want to make a backup of the game you currently have, and that's easy to do, just make an .zip/.7z/.rar archive from it and that's all you'll really need. Yes, it goes without saying that that's going to take almost equivalent space amount to back it up, but it's there to avoid complete ruin in case something goes off the shitstorm.

Thanks, I was thinking of backing it up as well, because this is my first flawless setup from a ton (and I literally mean a ton) of failed setups and multiple errors, I'll try the new BWS with the new update!

I know BWS isn't ready for an EET install but if I change the misc-gui file and select view my mods in install order only should I be good to go manually?

 

I should mention I am following the Mod Compatibility list/instalation from here http://gibberlings3....showtopic=27741

Could be good that you don't have the time while some bugs are ironed out in the process. 

 

Should I run the fixpack in BGee before installing the mods? Well running EET on a clean BG2 install. Had an error 1st time round, I did run the fixpack on BGee.

Stratagem's "Allow player to choose NPC proficiencies and skills" component seems to be another component totally missing from being able to be selected in BWS. Its functionality is similar to the Level 1 NPCs mod, but somewhat different in approach, and I think something that should be selectable as an alternative.

 

Same with Stratagem's "Make Watchers' Keep accessible between SoA and ToB BG2, BGT)" component.

S... Its functionality is similar to the Level 1 NPCs mod, but somewhat different in approach, and I think something that should be selectable as an alternative.

Yeah... just make D-sure that the two are not select-able at the same time. It was horrible... while I had both, :P

Yes, even if BG2EE/EET install order has not been reviewed since long time, it's still the best which you can get. For now, BWS is not ready for EET due to one important issue. I haven't any time to take look and try to fix it but when I will finally accomplish successful install, you can expect new BWS EET-aware release.

sorry, what's this issue you are talking about?
