Then I checked various .spl files and they all had correct descriptions, as expected.  Then I installed GB and checked again and all ok so as an extra test I uninstalled GB and then installed the followng;

~STRATAGEMS\SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #5900 // Initialise AI components (required for all tactical and AI components): 35.21
~STRATAGEMS\SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #6000 // Smarter general AI: 35.21

~STRATAGEMS\SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #0 #7200 // Tougher chapter-two end battle: 35.21
~GENERALIZED_BIFFING\GENERALIZED_BIFFING.TP2~ #0 #1 // Generalized Biffing -> Biff all files (recommended by the Big World Dudes): v2.9

Checked again and still ok. No idea what went wrong on my main install, hopefully just bad luck on my part.

Thanks

Have you checked only in NI or also in the game?

I noticed the missing descriptions ingame while testing a few things and then went and checked in NI. The changelog showed that the various, affected .spl files did initially have descriptions at install, and the descriptions were present in the various versions up until GB was installed and then the stringrefs were different.

I haven't done a new test install just yet. I'll try and do it either later this evening or at the weekend.

It's weird how its only seems to have affected some mod added spells/abilities and not others. Stuff from Rogue Rebalancing, for example, seems fine, but divine remix kit special abilities, spells/abilities from song and silence and kit specific spells from derats unused kit pack are affected.

Thanks for taking a look, hope I haven't wasted your time again. I'll let you know what happens on a new install. It might just be a weird fluke, don't remember seeing it happen on previous installs 

Generalized biffing seems to be changing/removing spell descriptions from mod added spells.

For example,

A#CRY07.SPL (Dread blast) is added by Divine Remix, and in my install has its 'Spell description' set to StringRef 301174, which shows the correct description.

After Generalized Biffing is installed 'Spell description' is changed to StringRef 326009 - No such index

It seems to be affecting most, if not all, mod added spells.

I've used the changelog feature in NI to check a range of spells from different mods and they all have an accurate description at install then Generalized biffing changes the StringRef to some 3##### value and they then have no description.

The original StringRef still exists and it can be changed back to what it was originally, but it would takes ages to do that and would kind of defeat the point of having installed generalized biffing.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

@Daulmakan in the readme you mention that this isnt compatible with the Vault, is that just the new component or is it something else? I checked an earlier version's readme (1. and it doesnt mention that incompatibility. thanks

@ orion "I'm gonna write a postmortem of the BWP installation in the following days with some suggestions." PLEASE do this ... I need it .... and is need it (at least for those like me with no much knowledge in IE moding)

There is one problem that I'm not being able to solve (2 actually).

 

1) The Music for Keldorn Romance inside Vlad compilation is failing to install, some problem in a Keldorn .bcs file. Is weird because, does not matter what I fixed or changed it always fails to install. More weird that it says that "Music for Keldorn romance MUST BE INSTALLED for Tortured Souls". I don't know if is a "must be" or a "you must install it or it will break".

 

2) For some reason Khalid and Jaheira lose their voice sets and the subtitles are all garbage lines. In the case of Jaheira lines related to a character called Leina. The voice sets and subtitles of other npcs are completely okey. Most interesting the BWP pdf says the following:

 

Component 37 [Stats and Portraits of Viconia and Jaheira. BG1 Viconia and Jaheira can get their BG2 portraits and stats (by Vlad)]? [N]ot Install

This component will ruin Jaheria NPC in BG1/BGT. She will not have voiceover at all and her generic standard lines/commands are mismatched. Also this component will giver her ++ proficiency in crossbow which she can't use anyway plus ankheg armor which may seem overpowered for some

 

This is exactly the problem I'm having, and indeed Jaheira have an ankheg armor, except that the component 37 is nowhere being installed in the individual.bat. So there must be an error in the BWP pdf and another Vlad Compilation component is causing the error.

 

My guess is that, the problem is being caused by other component inside Vlad Compilation, OR, the problem is being caused because of the failed installation of the Keldorn Romance Music that is ruining something of the tortured souls installation.

I'm gonna try completely ignoring tortured souls, Leina NPC, Jaheira Priest of Silvanus component (I think this is the one causing troubles), and see what a happens.

Aside from that everything seems to be working, npcs are firing their banters correctly, I was able to reach Nashkel, the banters of Jaheira are okey, etc.

Yeah I've got something similar on a couple of installs. 

I've just installed BGT, vlad's compilation and NEJ and Khalid has a mix of Kagain and Jaheira's sound sets and when he dieds it displays Jaheira biography text. Last time i checked, after noticing something weird with Khalid's soundsets, he had Leina's. No idea what is causing that. I think i ended up deleting Khalid's .cre files from VCv21\NeJE\bdash\BGTComp\copy

I have also had issues with ~SETUP-VCV21.TP2~ #0 #13 // Music for Keldorn, Tortured Souls and Leina (MUST be installed for any of these mods): v2.1 BWP adaptation

but it installed ok on my most recent install. I was using PI for most of it but it doesnt copy a few files correctly from Vlad's comp so i install those components manually. I  think maybe it was because oggdec.exe didnt get copied from extracted mods folder to \BGII - SOA folder

And there are some .wav files in VCv21\override that are needed and i know PI doesn't copy the \overide folder across
