Ok im making new installation, choosing again tactics, but I just remove some mods and add some. Whats the mod, which reduces XP gained from monsters? I would like to change in some several ways, mostly with some powerfull monsters rewarding me with XP like joke

 

//btw, by default ascalon questpack is in EN language (BWS shows no other options)

so?

so?

So, what?

 

Well if you read BWP pdf-file sometimes you might notice (among other interesting stuff) that Ding0 Experience Fixer mod does that.

[konva]

heh i totally forgot about that PDF and im pretty sure I read it in past... and what about the ascalon?

[konva]

Well im not sure about that experience reducing... since the Dark one gave me at normal DSoSC in BG 1 around 18k exp, in BGT he gave me barely 4k and reducer is set to 50%

Well using DefJam it's best what you can do but it's not optimal solution. It's very hard to balance BWP and i think it's impossible to achieve satisfactory way.

 

If you use reduce to 50% which mean start at BG1 is very hard but BG2 might be more playable.

 

I use reduce to 75% which mean hard start at BG1 and xp max out at chapter 2 in BG2 so BG2 is very easy (but CHARNAME is demi-god after all ) unless you have high level enemy mods like Vecna.

[konva]

ofc I have them, Ill keep it this way, and manually modify some monsters to worth more XP and I agree, if there will be 100% of exp which is planned, then I end up at BG1 with char lvl 13+

You do not appear to have Ascension installed.

Ascension: Turnabout (Turnabout) was skipped.

 

What ascension: Turnabout??

[dabus]

What do you mean by default? Translations are (and are listed as in the BWS):

GE:0
EN:1

You can also see that in the BiG World Setup\Globals\ac_quest.ini. Or use the internal tools to edit your mods and you'll see that, too.
You should always get the translation that you preferred (or better say that the BWS will use that language number). If someone / something changes those numbers, typically you're screwed.

Well I havent changed ascalon questpack before and I had it in german..

[dabus]

Like I said: If you don't get what you expect, someone/something likely changed something.
If the BWP patched add something that does not match, you'll be screwed.
Like patching a translation into a file that does not exist at a certain place (moved into a folder) and WeiDU does not find translation 1 and thus just uses 0.

If the files from the mod itself change, you'll be screwed.
Like patching a translation into a file that was changed, the translation-patch/definitions doesn't get applied (patch compares the text at the targeted lines that should be patched with the patch-files expectation and just skips stuff that does not match), WeiDU again only has translation 0 and tada, you get 0.

WAs revision has both translations and as far as I can see, Fixpack and Textpack don't try to patch the mod.

Cannot use image tag.

That's cause that's not a direct link, but a link to a link... and the linked picture is a .png, the forum software doesn't like them, it only accepts .jpg links for whatever reason, so save the pictures in that format... and you might wish to edit the picture with MSPaint so that the picture is not 9/10's blank white.

So this is your picture after all that...

PS: I have no idea what the setup is doing...

[konva]

well I maybe made mistake copying link but this setup makes me mad...  

[dabus]

You guess you still use the 2 months old BWS download which is... old and uses the wrong files.
Do this to get a current one.

The new master/EET download uses this file.
You use VERSION 1.01 - 2.00b_150205 is the current used version with both languages. Guess you could get some more bugs out of your install if you'd use a current BWS.

Okay Ill keep installing it over night while I will at work. Expect question early at morning and thanks dabus for new version

Oo what is Return to Faerun mod? I cannot find anything... and btw, nameless melody inn and Umbra of Throw have to be deleted from installation since they cannot be downloaded..

Sorry, but if you use the BWS, you sure seem like you didn't play around with the selections screen.

So there is this little button that looks like this [ i ] right before the theme (version, size, translation)-string / right above the mods description.
If you click on that button, the homepage is opened.

You could also just search though the BiG World Setup\Config\Global-folder. All information that is available for a mod (except conflicts/dependencies) is written into a single file that is named like the setups name.

If you open the selection screen, you could also use the search box in the upper right corner to jump to the "return to Faerun" mod.
You can also use the box to search components. So if you wanted to look for mods that adjust quest xp, you could try something like 50%.

If you look at the description at the bottom, you can see that there's this text:

Adds to the game new chapter which begins after the completion of original ToB game with Sandrah in your company and having finished her own quest.

Dependencies and conflicts::
SandrahRtF needs SandrahNPC.

So yes, this is an addition to Sandrah, a biiig NPC mod that adds lots of banters, new areas and quests. So it#s not your usual "npc" mod.

[konva]

that [ i ] i havent noticed..  I read description but I just asked for more info
Anyway I have error

The extraction of the following mod(s) failed:
Return to Faerun: The Mod itself (SandrahRTF_V103b.rar)
Sandrah NPC: The Mod itself (SandrahNPC_V103b.rar)

Some files were not extracted. Do you want the BWS to run an integrity test on

those files first, provide the files yourself (see remarks) or just continue?

Enter [t]est, [p]rovide or [c]ontinue.

All files seem to be intact.

Enter [p]rovide or [c]ontinue.

Return to Faerun

Enter [d]ownload, [e]xtract, skip [o]ne or [a]ll missing files.

Sandrah NPC

Enter [d]ownload, [e]xtract, skip [o]ne or [a]ll missing files.

Please press [c]ontinue after the extractions are finished.

 

I redownloaded, and reextracted those, but they already were there... what this means?

[konva]

is this installation going to be correct?

File to patch: 
Skip this patch? [y] 
Skipping patch.
3 out of 3 hunks ignored

Just at the start of installation im noticing this...
