Problem/bug with Durlag's tower

[Wisp]

It would appear as if not installing the Improved Durlag's tower component breaks the transition to onto the chess board. Upon killing the fourth guardian, nothing happens.

 

After running into this problem, I did some testing by installing the Improved Durlag's tower component and reloading from that same level. That didn't fix it, but when I reloaded from the previous level and went through the troublesome level again, it worked properly when I killed the last guardian. Removing the component made the problem reappear (the game was once more reloaded from the previous level).

Sounds a bit odd. When you don't install the component, then there shouldn't be any changes in this part. What was your forth guardian?

[Wisp]

The first time, it was the Fission slime, then I reloaded from the same level and killed the Phoenix guards last. Then I installed the DT component (I had had it installed during my last play through and the transition had worked that time), reloaded from the previous level and killed the Phoenix guards last. After I had removed the DT component again, I also killed the Phoenix guards last.

It would appear as if not installing the Improved Durlag's tower component breaks the transition to onto the chess board. Upon killing the fourth guardian, nothing happens.

 

Do you really mean "NOT installing"?

[Wisp]

Yes, with the above mods/components installed, the transition onto the chess board does not work unless the DT component is also installed.

 

I could uninstall SCS completely, if you wish me to investigate that possibility.

EDIT: Actually, I'll do just that in a while. Will report back once I've tried it.

[Wisp]

Well, that was fun.

Doing a blanket uninstall of all SCS components also uninstalled about half of the UB components, as well as deleted the UB TP2 file. When I attempt to reinstall UB, I get the message that TotSC isn't installed, so the components specific to the expansion are excluded.

 

Attempting to do that WeiDu change-log trick on _ar0512.bcs (the door leading up to the "throne room" won't open, but you can ctrl+J past it and open it via the control panel) results in a sys_error apparently involving the EasyTutu degreenifier.

 

I'm just going to do everyone a favour and reinstall BG, BG2 and EasyTutu from scratch and apply the mods again (once I've done that backup thing I saw over at SHS).

I'll test AR0512 and AR0513 again after that and see if I can get this to make any sense.

 

It is worth noting that with SCS uninstalled, the transition still didn't work, so it's entirely possible that the problem is being caused by another mod and that the SCS DT component fixes it.

[Wisp]

Would appear as if the problem actually lies with the BG1 NPC mod. With nothing but tutufix and BG1 NPC, I have the above mentioned problem with the chess board transition. Uninstalling the NPC mod also makes the problem go away.

Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
