[v35.8] Error Installing Bard Songs from IWD on BG1EE (w/SoD) [UPDATE: Incompatibility with Artisan's Aura NPC]

[Delior]

Hi David, I've unfortunately encountered another installation error, this time with 35.8, also on BG1EE w/ SoD.  The error language is below, and the relevant Weidu log is attached.  

ERROR Installing [Include bard songs from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition], rolling back to previous state

Try installing Bard Songs from Talents:

70: ~DW_TALENTS/DW_TALENTS.TP2~ #0 #1520 // Include bard songs from Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition

I've done some further digging on this, and the issue appears to be an incompatibility with the Artisan's Aura NPC mod.  The error message indicates that the Bard Songs component cannot patch the file "luabbr.2da." I did a fresh install with just the Aura NPC mod and the bard songs component from SCS and that reproduced the error.  

I don't know if David will be interested in fixing this, or leaving it to the Artisan to figure out, but I've attached the file from the Aura NPC mod that appears to be causing the issue.

That's strange. I just installed the bard songs on a BG1 install with Aura present, with no trouble at all. Although I did use today's update, if that makes a difference.

That is odd considering I used today's update as well.  The steps to reproduce my error (using today's Aura update as well as SCS 35.8) on a BG1EE w/ SoD installation are simply:

- DLC Merger
- Aura (selecting the default Articifer/Thief kit and default portrait options)
- IWD Bard Songs component from SCS 35.8

I used the Priestess/Artificer. Maybe that's the difference?

Could you post a copy of luabbr.2da from an install where this component chokes?

Here you go . . .

OK, it's getting upset at a blank LUA entry. That's overly precious; I'll fix it.
