Thats off the Bioware Tech Support Board for BGII. Its a great help. I had to do an uninstall once using that methodology and it worked fine. Just make sure to read each line carefully before doing anything.

Thank you, Littiz, I shall try that. I'm determined to show UU that *I'm* the greatest beta tester.

[T.G.Maestro]

And we are waiting for your return - I hope you succeed with the installation!

[T.G.Maestro]

After additional weeks of work on Refinements, we seem to have finished v1. It is 99.99% finished, and hereby I announce that the beta-testing period is about to start in the following days.

Everyone who volunteered on the testing please contact me in PM (if I didn't contact you first)!

[Galactygon]

Perhaps you can send a copy to alagarr@baraban.com (the other email is full). While I might not do the testing itself, I'll look at it code-wise so I can perhaps incorporate the HLA-tables into LC (it won't be compatible, so this is the best solution).

We will discuss the details of that transfer once the beta-test is finished, I would like to vanquish every possible bug before starting to distribute the mod itself.

[T.G.Maestro]

*** IMPORTANT!!! ***

Refinements urgently needs 2-3 beta-testers! The test is about to start in a day or two, but since some of our original testers declined because of RL and time issues, we lack the required number of gamers.

If you can find the time to testing Refinements v1., please contact me via PM as soon as possible - we will discuss any details then.

Many thanks for any possible volunteers!

The newest beta has been sent to most of our testers, please install it!

[T.G.Maestro]

Again, an updated version of the beta is available for our testers, I'll send it later today to all of you.

[T.G.Maestro]

Just as above - the newest version of the beta is available for testers with the latest additions and corrections to the mod. I'm going to send you the package today, Caedwyr - please contact me via MSN Messenger!

[T.G.Maestro]

New beta available! I'll send it to every tester tomorrow (Caedwyr, you can get it on MSN).
BTW, I'd like to see more progress reports from our testers. Only Caveman is doing it at 100%, so please ladies & gentlemen, keep me informed.

[Littiz]

Since I'm usually in charge of bug-fixing, I'd appreciate to receive some reports as well...

I've finally had the list of testers, so, let us know what's happening now and then

[Caedwyr]

Harbringer had a report about a possible conflict between the sword angel and delainy's bard kit. You can find the bug report here


I've recieved the newest version of the beta, and I'll take a look at it when I get the chance, probably around friday of this week.

If you are planning on releasing the mod this week, I say go for it. I think most of the game crashing bugs have been caught, and for bug fixing, the mod would benefit from having a larger audience.

[T.G.Maestro]

Because of my personal issues I'd like to wait with the release after the 18th of April.

Heh, the link is to the protected Del bugs & balancing forum, so I'll just repost Harbinger's report:

I'm beta testing the Refinements mod, and upon installing I noticed something rather disturbing about Del. It seems one of the components in that mod render alot of weapons unusable to Del., she was unable to use any missile weapons, and could not equip any bracers. I'm thinking its the shapeshifter refinement.

Wait something else Del's kit is listed as a plain Bard also.

I believe it's tied to the changes made to the usability flags by Refinements, but I haven't had time to track it down fully yet.

[Littiz]

I believe it's tied to the changes made to the usability flags by Refinements, but I haven't had time to track it down fully yet.

I'd be surprised, actually.
Refinements leaves most bracers and missile weapons alone, they should be normally usable by the other classes.

The reported situation seems a very typical case of utilization of Kensai's UNUSABLE value (no missiles, no bracers, armors already prohibited to Delainy) yet Cam should know if he had use it

Very strange, but I can't tell anything more since I don't have the Delainy mod.
If you let me know some technical details I'll try to solve the problem (assuming Refinements IS the problem...)

[Littiz]

Anyway, it might depend on wrong installation procedures.

Example: you had a savegame with Delainy.
For some reason you uninstalled Delainy, installed Refinements, then Delainy again, and tried to re-open the same savegame.
What happened is that you had just messed the order of kits assignments.

Basically, if you want to reuse old savegames in which new kits are used, you must reproduce the original order of installation of all the kit-adding stuff.

Safest thing is always install and start a new game, but testers have an harder job

[CamDawg]

Del uses the usability flags for a true class bard and a shapeshifter, no Kensai flags. Littiz, could you email the latest tp2 or a link to it so I can take a look?

[Littiz]

Read my reply just above, I'm sure I've guessed right.

[CamDawg]

Ah, some cross-posting action. I'll check with Harbinger re: installation order.
