Thanks jastey for confirming. Yes I saw that changelog entry but I thought the BGT hotfix was so that Gavin would disappear at the end of BG1, not because of some crash? There is no misunderstanding there?

 

And Roxanne, relax because there is no mixup. Updated BWS still lists the hotfix as well.

Updated BWS says that the BGT selection is outdated, which you just have proven with an example.

Sorry for not writing the changelog more clearly. Sometimes it doesn't occur to me that listing the fixed bugs might not be as clear as a simple statement à la "hotfix patch integrated".

Hey, I've go got an error installing SOS (https://github.com/weigo87/SoS-EE/) on EET.

 

sos1.JPG

 

It tries to load sos_links.tbl which doesn't exist.

 

sos2.JPG

 

I think on line 526 in the .tp should be rot_links.tbl

 

sos3.JPG

 

Lemme know if debug file is needed.

There is an ongoing discussion about this (and some other) SoS issues here

http://www.shsforums...er-souber-v114/

It seems this bug was introduced with the latest update of the mod. Since the new mod version is under test and actively maintained at the moment, it is best to see if they post a solution there.

Not something to be solved by BWS.

The BWS installs Wizard slayer rebalancing in two steps. First the "wizard slayer kit revisions" before might and guile and then the rest after ding0s tweak pack a little later. Why is this? The BWP manual does not do this.

 

Problem is that I installed all components of Wizard slayer rebalancing without noticing this already at the first step. What effects will this have?

 

Here is my current weidu log if it helps anyone answer

This is really a wild guess from my side but maybe it has something with this:

 

Compatibility notes
 

  • The mod is fully compatible with BG:EE, BGII:EE and IWD:EE. It also works on normal Baldur's Gate II games as well as either of the two Baldur's Gate conversion projects: (Easy)Tutu and Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT).

  •  

    If you intend to use this mod alongside Refinements, a specific install order must be followed. The kit revision component of this mod should be installed before Refinements while its High Level Ability revision component should go after Refinements.

     

  • In case you are using TobEX, make sure that the Magic Resistance Mod Fix option in TobExCore.ini is set to 0. Otherwise, you may experience some problems when using Shatter Magic and Reflect Magic. Specifically, the magic resistance of the Wizard Slayer will not be nullified while these abilities are in effect.
  • Since this mod is largely inspired by similar components of Gray Acumen's Kit Improvements, Konalan's Tweak Pack, Kitanya's Wizard Slayer Fixes and Ashes of Ambers it is not intended to be used together with them.

Not really sure though, as I never used it myself...

Thanks for your insights Greenhorn. I looked at that section earlier as well but at first it didn't strike me as related because refinements are not very close to either of these installation points - but now that you mentioned it again I looked up which mods are between and yes it seems you might be correct. Refinements do get installed in between and I think maybe the rest of the gaps are just related to refinements by themselves. It just didn't seem so at first.

 

Thankfully I don't install refinements so should be good! Phew.

The install sequence takes into account all possible components of all mods that may change certain game files and the order in which they do it. The sequence may result from the interaction of components in different mods. Your specific selection may or may not need this order, it is a general sequence to fit whatever options you have chosen. If you need to know specific details there is no other way then to read all the mod's readme's, or just trust that the involved modders provided the correct information for BWS to use.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
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.

Thanks for the link, but it looks like they were installing directly in their Steam folder. I'm installing in D:\BWS\ so there should be nothing preventing it from writing to that folder. But I'll check permissions and everything again when I get home.

I'll give that a try since BWS is not working for me currently.

In the bw fixpack (github version) there is a folder called "_IDS_ref" with a bunch of ids files (kit.ids spell.ids etc).

 

Am I supposed to use these at some point? Does the BWS use these? The BWP manual does not mention them. I faintly remember seeing this mentioned somewhere on the forum some time back when I was lurking and that they were standard ids files to use when mods had broken them or something but now I can't find any info about it.

Quote from BWP manual

 

the BiG World Installpack not only installs mod after mod, but also restores continuously missing entries
in several IDS files. Without this feature you would get “parse errors” with some mods and the installation
of many components would fail. for this reason I strongly advise against installing manually!

The BWS copies the IDS files contained in fixpack to override during the preparation phase before any installation is even started.

 

This means that both do basically the same, provide you with correct IDS versions for the following installation.

Roxanne: Yes I saw that but I didn't really connect to put them in the override before starting. Hmm.

 

Since I didn't get any parse errors or any other error during my installation - am I safe? Or did I need them for something else?

Only you know. It depends on the mods you install. And even then it would be safe. Worst that may happen normally is that some remote AI action in some enemy scripts do not trigger, If you notice that at all in the play...

Alrighty then. It's just that I didn't know how important those files were. Thanks.
