Tutu State of the Modding Union

[cmorgan]

Got it - misedit, I guess, on the order. Fixing.

 

I confirmed the Harden Coonor's mod materials before checking this thread, which would have saved me time as you guys ddid all the work for me (which will teach me that I should read before researching )

 

devSin and Ascension64 (older threads, too, indicate that Mr. Coonor not only gave blessing, but directly offered all of his mod to the effort, just in case someone wants an example of ciommunity spirit that has made a long term difference to players).

 

The useful components of the mod are now covered for all platforms by Unfinished Business for Tutu/BGT or the BG version. Music is covered in several mods (but EasyTutu doesn't need it as it already does) and the Worldmap is covered under several mods as well (again, EasyTutu already has the updates).

 

Updating link for mac mod indicated.

EDIT: I'm sorry, i just went to NPC Project forum, and the error has a patch, disregard my endless rambling here. Thanks for the help with the install Cmorgan, you've got a great guide here

 

Hi, i'm following cmorgan's tutu installation guide. I ran across a problem installing BG1 NPC Project. I think it may have to do with me installing the 'Corrected Minor Dialogues/Minor Dialogue Restorations (version dependent title)' component of UBv6. The error is as follows....

Should I just uninstall the minor dialog correction component of UB and try again or is this something else? Thank you.

Add Widescreen Mod as compatible without TutuGUI, cosmetic issues if installed with TutuGUI (WSM goes after TGUI).

[cmorgan]

OK, on it...

Dunno if this has already been mentioned, but as far as SimDing0's D0Tweaks is concerned, Macready suggests you use the 'BG1-Style Summoning Spells' component with EasyTutu:

 

http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/to....html#msg306645

 

Perhaps you could add this component to the list, and maybe even put (Recommended) next to it.

[cmorgan]

Well, I can put it as compatible - I can't put "recommended" even though if Sim wrote it and Macready plays using it, the only thing that would make it "more recommended" in my book is if CamDawg and Icelus simultaneoulsy said "use this or your experience will be tremendously damaged"

 

Can someone please get me a good (tested) install order recommendation from an existing successful game?

[Kulyok]

Perhaps you could add this component to the list, and maybe even put (Recommended) next to it.

 

I think weights, ratings, or "recommended" tags devalue the meaning of comprehensive lists. I mean, imagine we create "recommended" sublists of the modlist? Or start arranging mods the way Kulyok likes them?

[cmorgan]

Agreed - This list is definitely just an "installs on Tutu with a minimum of fuss and works without crashing your game and is best installed at position X" one.

 

Bursk, there actually is a reasonable and innoffensive method of determining what people (and modders) play, which amounts to the same kind of thing; the PPG thread of "Post Your WeiDU.LOG" can be used that way. It was intended more as an open forum to see what perople are installing and in what order, if I recall correctly, but if you look through the lists and see the same mod showing up in multiple installs, then you have a good read on what people see as "highly recommended".

[Bursk]

I suppose (Recommended by Macready, the author of EasyTutu) would make more sense. But if there is a danger of such text being unreasonable and offensive, then by all means it's best not to add it.

Regarding SCS being installed after BG2 Tweaks, I found a thread that suggested this should be the other way around:

 

http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?s...amp;#entry98745

 

Perhaps once Level One NPCs is released, people can use that to make their class/kit and proficiency changes.

Regarding SCS being installed after BG2 Tweaks, I found a thread that suggested this should be the other way around:

http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?s...amp;#entry98745

But then, earlier in that same thread, there is contradictory information:

I assume that this will only cause problems if SCS is installed before BG2 Tweaks, but then that's fairly likely, I guess. (I tend to do it the other way around, but then I'm normally modifying SCS more often than I'm adjusting the Tweakpack options).

I think maybe SCS and BG2 Tweaks need to do some cross-mod optimisation. As for now, the best solution (as boneheaded as it seems to be) is to install the SCS weapon components, then BG2 Tweaks, then the remainder of SCS (including the NPC changes, which I think was the original issue).

[Bursk]

Yeah, I think the whole 'SCS after Tweaks' is because of the NPC changes. If you aren't installing those, then I imagine SCS can go before Tweaks.

Or start arranging mods the way Kulyok likes them?

That would be nice

[Guest Qwallath]

According to the RogueRebalancing Install Guide ( http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?showtopic=27171 ), iiItem should be installed before RR.

 

Currently in the G3 Install Guide, it's two options after RR (probably for good reason).

 

Can anyone confirm which is the best option, and/or update the guide?

 

I think I'll be testing now with iiItem before RR.

[Kulyok]

I think aVENGER_RR knows better, yes.
