Strange bug preventing install

[gurt]

2.6.6 + EET + a number of other mods (weidu.log attached).

For some reason, I'm unable to install the "initialize AI" component for SCS. I get a strange error about a particular file not existing. I got similar errors when I tried to install a few other SCS components (though others installed fine). Trying to install the "initialize AI" component a second time, I now get this error:

ERROR Installing [Initialise AI components (required for all tactical and AI components)], rolling back to previous state
Will uninstall  46 files for [STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2] component 5900.
Uninstalled     46 files for [STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2] component 5900.
ERROR: Failure("INNER_PATCH_SAVE \"%entry%\": read out of bounds")

This is a completely fresh install, and my load order is only a little different different from the last time for me (SCS installed perfectly fine as normal on my last install). I have installed EET+mods+SCS many, many times and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. Indeed, this is my second time installing 2.6.6+EET+mods+SCS, and it worked absolutely fine last time.

Did your previous install included the IWD-EET mods? Better question, which are the mods you've added into this install which weren't part of the previous one?

[gurt]

Yes, it included the IWD-EET mods. The previous install was less than two weeks ago, so all versions are the same as well.

The new mods not included in the previous install:

• Extra Enhanced Expanded Encounters 2.0
• Shades of the Sword Coast
• The Grey Clan episode 1
• The Lure of the Sirine's Call
• Tower of Deception
• Innershade
• The White Queen
• Southern Edge
• Tangled Oak Isle
• Rebalanced Poison Weapons (Tresset tweak)

All other mods are exactly the same. Since these are all popular quest mods (with the exception of rebalanced poison weapons) and they are absolutely the most up-to-date github versions, it's hard to believe that they could break SCS... Yet again, it looks like I just lost two days of work (sigh)

 

Here are examples of other errors:

Have you edited SCS in any way?

[gurt]

I've added the various hotfixes from the main thread, that's it.

[Graion Dilach]

Reread the instructions for each and check if you didn't made a typo during applying those. The newer errors imply you did.

[gurt]

I've wiped the installs and am starting from scratch; I didn't make any individual edits to SCS files, I only downloaded the files from the thread (e.g. mage.tpa, standard_mage.ssl, and dragon_shared.tph). I verified that all are in the correct locations, with the correct line modification in standard_mage.ssl as well.

Will omit some of the above mods (incl Tower of Deception which may not be EET compatible) and see how it goes this time.

 

EDIT: Fixed.

I did two things.

1) Did not install the following mods:

• The Grey Clan episode 1
• The Lure of the Sirine's Call
• Tower of Deception
• Innershade
• The White Queen

2) I suspected that there might be an issue with language format from one of the mods (possibly a patch for IWD-in-EET that was incorrectly formatted in Russian). I downloaded a fresh version of iconv from Roxanne http://baldursextendedworld.com/Vanilla_Forums/discussion/473/error-charsets-were-not-converted-because-iconv-could-not-be-found-in-iconv#latest and put it in my BG2:EE folder.

SCS and all other mods installed perfectly fine.
