In Topic: SHS Suggestions and Problems Thread

Welcome back SHS among the living! It was pretty surreal for me to finalize my BWP install on the same day the site died, but fortunately it didn't turn out to be an omen. Not one of permanent woes at least.

Thank you for your friendly comment.

I am confused about your problems with the Balderdash component because I don’t have it. Could you please post the regarding lines from the Debug?

I've finally posted this in the other thread, but I'm adding it here too just in case. 

 

The upload function didn't work for me, so you can find the debug file here.

Finally got around to doing this. I've attached the VC21 debug file.

 

EDIT

 

Apparently the file doesn't show up, despite uploading successfully :/.

 

I've made a Filebin of it here.

unknown object GENDER specifier [NIETHER]

Is this copy pasted? Because then the misspelling might be to blame.

 

The Install.bat should pause for this sort of error. Don't close it.

 

What I usually do for these things is I go to the file in question (in the mod folder), open the file with NearInfinity and use the compile button to see where the problem is. For this, I would change that to [NEITHER] and then run the mod installation in parallel from its own Setup-POLYTWEAK.exe (and ONLY this component). If it works, you can just hit enter on the Install.bat after that and it would continue. 

 

Or you can just hit enter without any of that and skip it, minotaurs aren't exactly ubiquitous in the game or mods, so I don't think you'll lose out on much, especially since SCS will modify them a bit too.

Thank you for your detailed report.



Pre-Emptive Steps – There is no need to do so. The BWIP runs a file corrections.bat that arranges the files and folders the right way.
 

Really? Great to know. I'll do an edit. But I think I'll otherwise leave it the post though, because paranoia - the 'list mods not in BG directory' option always says they're missing if they're in subfolders (I certainly don't blame you for the respective mod devs changing folder names in the interim). I also know the Preview function you run later accounts for them, or at least for those marked 'missing' because they have newer names that the Instal.bat nonetheless finds when it actually gets to work, but I think a new extra minutes of work isn't such a big price to pay to be sure.

Sadly, the auto-cleaner banished all of them to the shadow realm. I'll save it and maybe even do a screenshot on my next install. I don't know what the deal is here honestly, I can only say this has been the case for me since BWP v16/17 or thereabouts.

SpellPackB6 – Occasionally I had issues with one of the spells (not the same components as described). These mostly happened if the antivirus is running – unfortunately it activates itself again after some time.

Well, for me it wasn't the antivirus - I had it 'disabled until computer is restarted' and double-checked when it happened to make sure. It must have been a memory hole of some sort.

1PP – This is caused by BGT v1.22. There is a hint in the guide. Use BGT v1.21 instead.

I'll hope that means BGT 1.21 doesn't come as too much of a sacrifice elsewhere then, and probably use that for next install.

I will take your suggestions in account with the next release, but don’t expect it soon.

No rush from me, as I said, they're all either easily fixable or painless to leave out. Thanks for your great work and the prompt reply.
