Hey, long time lurker, first time poster.

 

A rather stupid mistake since i've installed BWS before, but i forgot to start the games and save before installing BWS, otherwise did everything else step-by-step. Now the installation is nearly 90% complete and i just figured i forgot, should i uninstall everyhting and starting from the begining or is the game playable?

Well, it depends on which particular package the game is from... but if the BWS accepted it without the need to start it, then you are pretty safe.

The recommendation in the MMFAQ I wrote is there cause my install doesn't have the baldur.ini file if I don't run the game first.

Thanks

Guess i'll wait for the install to finish and see what happens then

What you did miss then is the initial config through BGconfig. It means your computer is automatically set to medium class. If you start BGconfig after a BWP Installation to change that, your Baldur.ini will contain some entries you may have to delete. For example BGconfig can add classic resolution entries that may collide with a possible widescreen mod Installation.

Yeah, but for that to happen, you actually have to change the existing resolution into something it's not already, as the widescreen mod adds it's resolution configuration to the file itself. And the change still might not actually happen in the game as I believe the Widescreen mod actually re-internalizes the figure back to the BGMain.exe ... yes, I have tried to break my game many times.

More of a concern is the fact that without the baldur.ini file, the game doesn't have the [Alias] -lines found at the file and thus the paths to the game data... but my guess is that the BWS got an update that made them unnecessary as the path needs to be declared to the BG2 path in the program.

 Well the game plays normal so far, apart from spiders of any form or variety. The web spell that they cast automatically males the game unplayable due to lag and after a few minutes ctd http://postimg.org/image/yx6wuow0p/.   WeiDU.log   119.35K   338 downloads

Another victim of Spellpack Web buginess. Read here for things to avoid when using BWS.

If you do not want to start over and reinstall again, you can simply edit WTASIGHT.BCS with NearInfinity and remove the Spider Web Attacks. I usually do that anyway because AOE Web Spam by 4-6 Spiders simply leaves a lame game experience.

Mind that's not all Spiders throwing webs, a few mod-unique or Boss-Spiders have their own scripts, but most of them will behave.

Thank you! So i should just remove

IF

!GlobalTimerNotExpired("Cast","LOCALS")

!GlobalTimerNotExpired("Web","LOCALS")

Race(Myself,SPIDER)

RandomNum(3,1)

Range(NearestEnemyOf(Myself),4)

See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))

THEN

RESPONSE #100

SetGlobalTimer("Cast","LOCALS",ONE_ROUND)

SetGlobalTimer("Web","LOCALS",TWO_ROUNDS)

ReallyForceSpellRES("d0spiweb",LastSeenBy(Myself)) // Web

END
