One of the hobgoblins (HOBGO2.CRE) has fixed stringrefs attached to some actions. No idea if they work properly in a game with only SoBH added, but at least it does not play nice in combination with other mods.


In Topic: Cannot Successfully install with BWS

However, it seems like you have to edit some bat file for this. Maybe someone can post some instruction for this.

 

The "BiG World Textpack.bat" checks if "BiG World Install.bat" exists,

And if it does it exits you get:

 

Please start the "BiG World Install.bat"

Bitte startet die "BiG World Install.bat"

Veuillez lancer le "BiG World Install.bat"

 

There are 2 ways around that

- delete "BiG World Install.bat" (but no idea if that has any other negative consequences)

- delete lines 48 en 49 (pause and exit) from "BiG World Textpack.bat"

For BWS BGT I'd use the "OUTDATED!!! Baldur's Gate 2 / Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT) Customization" game type. That allows BWS itself to manage the installation, while the "install.bat" version is just BWP started by BWS.

 

If you really want to use the install.bat, I'd only use BWS to download the mods, and after that follow the BWP instructions for the rest of the installation.


In Topic: Scripting practrices

This is the code for 1 weapon for 1 player. This repeats for 6 players for 6 weapons (that is why there are 36 inventory checks no matter what).

 

Spoiler

 

Like you said, the "HasItem" at the top of the script block makes sure it always does the inventory search, no matter what the other variables are set to.

But once some variables do get set there are even more.

 

If you set Global("CbPlayer1Has_Life_Eater","GLOBAL",5) I am counting two extra item checks on player1, and two extra party wide checks.

So if you give all your characters one weapon, you'd get 48 single player inventory checks, and 12 party wide inventory checks.
