EET Menu bug - infinite menu loop and/or no Select Campaign button

[TCM]

Hi,

I'm trying to do an EET install (with lots of mods), but I'm being stopped by a bug that means I always start in Irenicus' Dungeon, rather than candlekeep, or can't start at all. I never get an option to 'select campaign' when I launch, only the normal choice between SoA, ToB and Black puts. Frequently trying start a single player game just endlessly loops me back to this selection screen; and if I can get into the game (via multiplayer), it starts in the dungeon, not Candlekeep. I've tried adding the EET_gui mod, but that also offers no campaign selection, and always starts in SoD. 

To avoid any confusion in narrowing down the problem, I'm now only installing DLC merger, EET core and EET end (all latest versions from Github), via Project Infinity. The game versions are Gog V2.5 (for BG1 / SoD) and V2.5.16.6 (For BG2). 

I assume the errors in the EET install are responsible (not the first one which is something to do with Dorn I think); I've attached a cut-down log file to show the context of the UI.MENU errors. If anyone needs more info just let me know. 

//WARNING: could not find REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK matching .../AR0900-rbOld.baf in AR0900.BCS

//WARNING UI.MENU - pattern not found:

//WARNING EET/temp/array/UI.MENU - pattern not found:

//WARNING EET/temp/array/UI.MENU - pattern replaced 2 time(s) instead of 1:

//WARNING EET/temp/array/UI.MENU - pattern replaced 2 time(s) instead of 1:

 

Should I be using an older version of EET, or a different patch of the game? From googling around it seems that could be the cause. There was a hotfix that appeared to fix these problems but it's no longer available, since in theory the latest version of EET fixes them. I could install the 2.6 patch but I want to install lots of mods, and it sounds like it breaks lots of them (but this may be the only solution). Anyway, any help or insight that can be offered would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

TC

EET 13.4 is for the game version 2.6. If you're running 2.5, you need to run v12. Your best bet is take subtledoctor's fork in that case, where he continued on some of the bugfix backporting I've done at one point.

v2.6 doesn't really break a lot of mods at this point. Most of the regressions introduced in mods by that patch have been ironed out already and/or trigger the bug in v2.5 as well. Soundset mods had to change though and no 2.5-compatible soundset mod is compatible with 2.6 and vice versa (unless the mod was updated, like say NWN2 Soundsets).

Most maintained mods are updated to v2.6.6. I'm not sure any mods I am maintaining are still compatible with older game versions.

Thanks to you both, that pretty much answers my questions - I'll give both options a try, and see what works (I'm fairly sure there are some unmaintained mods in my list....)
