Ascension 2.0.8 out; report bugs here

[jastey]

Thanks for the info, I am updating Edwin Romance currently. @DavidW

What would the mod patch instead (in case that can be answered quickly)?

[DavidW]

I’m traveling so can’t check things easily. If I recall, v2 is compatible with Edwin but you need to install Edwin first (v2 detects it and makes the required changes).

Hi people. Im new and quite ignorant in pc... tech things? That already sounded pretty stupid.

Anyway, i didnt know where to write this and i chose this. Sorry if it is the wrong place.

So, i cant execute the ascension exe file. It says is not valid for win 32 :( 

in previous downloaded mods i could choose , bit in this one tbere is no option. It must be win64 i guess?

could you please do it available for win32? I would really like to have this mod. Pretty please.

or perhaps direct me to a link tutorial so i can do it myself, though i didnt find such thing on the internet.

thanks in advance. And for all the mods.

[Guest vic]

i´ll put this here too though i dont know if it counts as a bug.

i managed to run the exe but now gives me this installation error, my bg2 version is the last from freegog. the EE version:

Install component [rewritten Final Chapter of throne of Bhaal]? I

then a few lines of installing things and this is what happens:

 

Clearing IDS map.

ERROR locating resource for 'get_ids_map'

Resource [SPLSTATE.IDS] not found in KEY file:

[./chitin.key]

Copying and patching 1 file...

ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'

Stopping installation because of error.

Stopping installation because of error

Uninstalled 7 files for [ASCENSION/ASCENSION.TP2] component 0.

 

ERROR:Failure("resource[splstate.ids]not found for 'COPY' ")

And then it says that i make a backup file of the debug file and look for support here.

So again for different reasons it seems i cannot install this mod. Can somebody help?

I have a weird bug in ToB. Right after I killed Abazigal, there is a cutscene that shows Balthazar and Melissan in Balthazar's palace. And after that ends, the same cutscene happens back in Abazigal's lair too, with Balthazar and Melissan somehow teleported there. But this time, you intervene the talk. I selected to support Balthazar, and Melissan summoned some monsters and a fight broke, Balthazar on my side. We killed everyone, but Melissan can't be killed. She becomes near death and stays at that condition. Because the fight was never ending, I left Abazigal's lair and went back to Amkethlan, to Balthazar's palace. But, there is noone inside the palace, completely empty. So, I can't progress further at this point. 

The mods that potentially have an effect on ToB story that I have installed are, Ascension, Wheels of Prophecy, SCS. However, from Ascension, I only installed Tougher Enemies components. I didn't install the main Ascension component. Thanks

[Guest How to install Ascension?]

Hi there, looking for some help. Every time I try to install Ascension I get the following error message:

ERROR: Unable to find CHITIN.KEY in:

Any help much appreciated!

[jastey]

Sounds very much like you are not running the exe in your main game folder (i.e. the one the chitin.key file is in).

[Guest Thank you, but...]

Thank you, moved it to the right location. Now getting the following!
 

ERROR: Unable to find DIALOG.TLK in:
        dialog.tlk

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.

FATAL ERROR: Failure("Unable to find DIALOG.TLK")

I wish weidu didn't spit out "INSTALLED WITH WARNINGS" for this, since it can be a bit misleading. Basically, the mod expected to modify a file (specifically an item), but didn't end up doing so. That's all the warning is there for. It is almost 99% sure to be inconsequential.

That's why these days I always use "INT_VAR silent = 1" any time I ever ALTER_EFFECT or CLONE_EFFECT.

I have a bug that has stopped my progress.  When I visit Balthazar, I can persuade him to join me and he brings Melissan out. Balthazar and the monks attack her and the first time my party joined in but it led to a bug - the game switched to a cutscene when she was dying and my party kept attacking her and but she didn't die, I have to force quit the game.  The second time I kept my party out of the way and this time Melissan died, then Balthazar told me I should go to see the stone heads then he disappeared (after repeating the same dialog twice).  But there are no new areas I can get though, going back to the pocket plane does nothing, the exit just takes me back to the monastery.  I have no idea what is supposed to happen so I don't know what part isn't working.  My journal is still saying I need to confront Balthazar. Should I reload and just kill Balthazar?  Is there some console command I can use?    

I have tried several times but it never works - the third time, Balthazar greeted me again after Melissan died and brought out another Melissan!  I just want to finish the game - should I uninstall Ascension - would that be safe if I have save after killing Abazigal?

I have the enhanced edition and my weidu log is below.

Killing Balthazar doesn't fix it.  I just get his journal which again tells me to visit the stone heads but no update on map or journal and no change in pocket plane.

Hi,

I had a similar issue in my recent game but i guess from the help i received that it was wheels of propecy not ascension that caused it. I had to warp to the stone heads to continue. Later i had to trigger the last transition because the door of pocket plane in both cases had not the right options.
