There could be possibly a problem with: Bristlelick:0;Bristlelick BG1EE NPC - Bristlelick—the gnoll companion for BGEE Try to install it before of other NPCs, particularly Aura (In my list it's just after Afaaq, Djinni companion) or remove it. Could you check if in your BG2 EET folder there are any files of mods that shouldn't? For odd reasons in my first attempt they got copied there from BGEE folder. Why do you recommand to install Bristlelick before other "new" NPCs (particularly Aura) ? Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Bristlelick isn't explicitly EET compatible, but if you use the EET auto converter, he'll likely work. (To use this, put EET Converter in your BGEE or BG2EE directory. In EET Converter, make a directory called Input. Place your files to convert into the converter. Run setup-EET_ModConverter, and apply the GAME_IS patcher. Let it finish, then go to the Output directory in EET_Converter and move the files from there to your input directory, overwriting all files. Run EET Converter again and choose the first option, converting from BGEE to EET. Again move the Output files to the Input directory and overwrite. Now, move the Bristlelick directory to its final destination in BG2EE or Project Infinity mod folder or somesuch and install it.) Quote Link to comment
Quester Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I wasn't even aware there was an issue with Bristlelick, as I hadn't found him yet in my game. Couldn't you also just install him as part of BG1 for now, along with the other few NPCs I have done so with? And then have EET import all of that as part of BG1? Quote Link to comment
Quester Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 On 10/12/2022 at 3:15 AM, jmerry said: Scroll prices ... the elemental protection scrolls have a base price of 750 in the standard game (both BG1 and BG2). If that's still in place, 4050 means an effective store markup of 540% of base price. Standard stores in the BG1 campaign have a sell markup of 150, which means that you'd need a charisma/reputation adjustment of +260%. You can get +100% prices at rep 3, or +900% at rep 2, and charisma is either no change or a small (0-25%) price reduction. So +260% is impossible. Looks like something in your mod stack either changed the prices of those scrolls or gave that particular merchant a different store markup. I haven't actually done any proper observations of scroll prices with other merchants. This specific one was in the Nashkel Carnival. l'm guessing it has to do with the Low Magic component: ~LOW_MAGIC\LOW_MAGIC.TP2~ #0 #402 // Increase Scroll Prices -> Increase Based on Spell Level: v0.5 However "normal" arcane spells scrolls weren't priced extremely, just these protection scrolls.

However, it only changes arcane spell scrolls, i.e. scrolls that contain an op147 effect to allow spells to be learned. The green protection scrolls are untouched by the Low Magic mod, it must be something else. Quote Link to comment

Quester Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Btw, I noticed in my last game that when my PC was at around 15000xp, I had Minsc join and he only had 8000xp. I seem to recall there being some mod that lets all NPCs join at closer to PC's xp value. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 @Quester By default, Bristlelick isn't on the legacy mods for BG1EE list for EET, meaning it requires some conversion or change to work. Quote Link to comment

I realized that. However, I have been able to install him previously along with other NPCs in my install list. Not sure if there were issues as I never got far enough to pick him up in game. Now that I did the EET Converter process that you outlined above, Bristlelick actually failed to even install. So either I did something wrong, or there is some additional step needed. Weirdly, Vienxay also failed to install this time, whereas earlier she would install just fine. Haven't done anything with that mod. @LavaI don't suppose a natively EET compatible Bristlelick is in the cards any time soon? I know you're busy with other projects and all. Quote Link to comment
Endarire Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) @Quester Put your setup-EET_modConverter.exe and EET_modConverter directory in your BG1EE or BG2EE directory. In EET_modConverter, make a directory called Input if it doesn't already exist. Put the mod files to convert to EET in there. Run setup-EET_modConverter and choose the first option since it's a BG1EE mod. If any files are changed, go to EET_modConverter\Output and move the files from there to EET_modConverter\Input and overwrite all files. Run setup-EET_modConverter again for the game patcher, and choose BG1EE. Again, if any files changed, move them from Output to Input and overwrite. Finally, put these files where you want them, like in your BG2EE directory or Project Infinity mods directory so you can install them. Edited October 18, 2022 by Endarire Quote Link to comment

The problem if I understand correctly is that EET Converter has changed that file's name to AR1900.baf, to match the EET naming conventions. So the installation can't find the file and it bugs out. I lack the know-how to fix this, though. Quote Link to comment

To be precise, it's probably the other way around, but yes: BG1900 is the EET syntax, so probably the converter changed the file name in the tp2 the installer is looking for, but the file still has the name ar1900.baf (Bandit Camp). EET compatibility for BG1 mods is a bit more complicated than BGII, the EET converter is not an appropriate tool to asure EET compatibility of a mod. It could be more successful to install the mod onto BG:SoD before the EET transformation and edit the EET/tbl/compatibility.tbl accordingly so the BG1 mod is detected as a resource.

I know you're busy with other projects and all. I am working on something else now. It is possible it's going to happen this year, but I can't promise that. It's exactly like @jastey said: it's more complex and it's not like everything can be done with the tool. And there's also a matter of not losing BG1EE compatibility when making the mod EET compatible. Quote Link to comment
