I am trying to install SoD2BG2 IU along with some other Item and spell content mods (Rogue Rebalancing, Item Revisions, Spell Revisions, IWD spells from SCS, and some orher item content mods...). I have hard time organising the loard order to minimize warnings... I have a lot of warnings when i install Sod2BG2 IU and i really don't know where to place this mod and to understand if those warnings need to be considered or not. If anyone could give a look ; i join a condensed debug file. Debug-test.txt

Thanks for the repply. I am building my own EET install to fit my personal taste. I initialy put RR Item related components after IR Items because i read somewhere : "The Short Sword of Backstabbing will not be modified if IR is detected (to avoid duplication)" I obviously don't know if this assumption is still relevant or not... I will try to install the other way. By the way is there somewhere (even outdated) a file listing for each item, the vanilla, IR and IR Revisited stats ?

Installing IRR followed by Rogue Balancing Items has warnings: //Installing [Item Revisions by Demivrgvs] [V4 Beta 10 (Revised V1.3.800)] //SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Item Revisions by Demivrgvs //WARNING: no effects added to misc75.itm //WARNING: no effects altered on MISC2P.ITM //WARNING: rr : 7 has encounter errors durring installation, exited with ExitCode = 3 //WARNING: unpausing installation will continue from next component. //INSTALLED WITH WARNINGS Additional equipment for Thieves and Bards //SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Upgradeable Equipment Would you know what is going on ?

Preparing my next EET install and planning to use either IR or your version IR Revisited. Would you summarize the main differences between those two ? Is it EET compatible ?

Testing many mods to prepare my next EET install. I made some test with SR R along with Sod2BG2 UI, IWDification and LotLM. It seems that things are messy. I also did the same test with SR instead and it was better. I join the debug files. What are the main differences between SR and your SR Revisited ? Debug-SOD2BG2_SR_IWDification_TotLM.txt Debug-SOD2BG2_SRR_IWDficiation_TotLM.txt

I just checked, this component is part of my install order. Thanks !

I am working at the item section and i have been looking at your load order as i include most of your item mods (and some more with in particular RR items). Any particular reason to put Item Upgrades (Weimer's) not in the item section and with quest mods ? I promise this is my last request for today. I am trying to arrange my item section before going futher. Would you also give a look at my item order below (and component choices) and let me know ? By the way this an EET install so it will include BGEE item mods too. Thalantyr - Item Upgrade 0 - Thalantyr - Item Upgrade Unofficial Item Pack (2) From @Daeros_Trollkiller : Some of the items aren't imported correctly, some of their effects not working properly. I am not going to knock it too much though. It did serve as inspiration for my mod. (3) From @Gwaihir: deleted a line in the mod's tp2 file that overwrites a file and thus makes it incompatible with 'the cowled menace'. This is what got deleted (i don'tknow if this is still relevant ???) COPY ~Unofficial Item Pack/new_items/MAGE18Z.CRE~ ~override/MAGE18Z.CRE~ at line 182 in the .tp2 file inside the mod folder 0 - Unofficial Item Pack 2 - Gourmet from Underdark 3 - Holy symbols 4 - New Items 5 - SoD items - Instead SoD2BG2 IU 6 - Better archery shop 7 - Reworked free action - Not sure about this one ? Item Revisions 1/2 : Main component 0 - Item Revisions by Demivrgvs Rogue Rebalancing 1/2: Items (3) The Short Sword of Backstabbing will not be modified if IR is detected (to avoid duplication) (4) 2 step installation - First step to install items: 7 - Additional equipment for Thieves and Bards 8 - Upgradeable Equipment Heart of the Wood 0 - Heart of the Wood (WeiDU version) Improved Horns of Valhalla (2) Doesn't IR also provide almost the same changes ? 0 - Improved Horns of Valhalla D2-Weapon - A Souls-inspired Weapon Pack 0 - A Souls-inspired Weapon Pack Stuff of the Magi 0 - Use new, less cheesy items AND Add them to creatures' equipment (recommended) Rolles Safyer (I don' know about this mod and Rolles Safyer is probably better installed early with other NPCs?) 0 - Rolles Safyer 10 - Bag of Holding in Irenicus Dungeon More Style for Mages - At the moment MSM v1.57 is not fully compatible with EET, in particular BGEE content (Wizard's Staff , Circlets, Circlet of Revelation…) won’t be installed. So i installed a non-official updated MSM v1.57 (with the updated;tp2) from the mod thread. Thanks to @Gwaihir for reporting this. - Familiar components are not compatible with EET: EET and Familiars G3 1 - Add Wizard's Staff with 14 new color sets 2 - Add Staff of Wizardry 8 - Add ranged attack + replace invisibility with increase of casting speed 10 - Add circlets 12 - Add Wizard's Hat 13 - Add Wand Case 14 - Add a stone of teleportation 16 - Add robes with no colorsets SoD to Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition Item Upgrade (i am not sure about its place as some load orders move it in different position or even divide its in few steps?) 0 - SoD to BG2:EE Item upgrade by Daeros_Trollkiller 3 - Update names, appearances, icons, and lore values of existing dragonscale-based items... 4 - Update resist type for original Shadow Dragonscale Armor for consistency with new variants: Acid -> Magic Damage) Incompatibility issues with mods like Thrown Hammers 30 - Cosmetic Enhancements for Existing Items (does not affect function) 31 - Remove annoying item effects, ie: blur, shadowed, physical mirror, spell trap. (Does not affect spells) 32 - Remove pulse-glow visual efects from armor, helmets, and shields. 33 - IWD-Style on-hit visual effects.

I am also working on a "big" EET install. Below is the beginning of my load order and notes. This part is pretty solid (from my point of view but i am not an experienced modder). I recommend almost all the BG1 mods included in the following list and i won't go without a GUI like LeUI. Mods Installed in BGEE prior to EET Core DlcMerger DlcMerger:1;DLC Merger - Merge "Siege of Dragonspear" DLC BG1 Unfinished Business (1) NtotSC and Jarl's Adventure Pack contain alternate restorations of Nim Furlwing and Svlast. For both i decide to go with BG1 UB versions (because this mod is updated more often!) (2) BG1 NPC Sarevok's Extended Diary (by Sixofspades) is more extended than the one from BG1 UB version. (3) Most of the non selected components have been included in the latest versions of BGEE. 0: Ice Island Level Two Restoration 11: Scar abd the Sashenstar's Daughter 12: Quoningar, the Cleric 13: Shilo Chen and the Ogre-Magi 14: Edie, the Merchant League Applicant 16: Creature Corrections 17: Creature Restorations 18: Creature Name Restorations 19: Minor Dialogue Restorations 21: Store, Tavern and Inn Fixes and Restorations - Most of it is already included in BGEE 22: Item Corrections and Restorations 29: Duke Eltan in the Harbor Master's Building 30: Nim Furlwing Encounter 32: Svlast, the Fallen Paladin Encounter 33: Mal-Kalen, the Ulcaster Ghost 34: Chapter 6 Dialogue Restorations The Stone of Askavar (1) From EET compatibility list: select default option during installation (despite the name it's compatible with both EET Worldmap and BP-BGT Worldmap) 0: Default version: areas connected by travel triggers Dark Horizons for BGEE Not selected T'was a Slow Boat from Kara-Tur Not selected Tenya Thermidor (1) Potential issues with "Garrick: Tales of a Troubadour". Not confirmed ? (3) From Caedwyr: "..make some modifications to tone down the bowl of elemental summoning you get. There were a few issues with Sirene for some of the dialogue, but nothing game-breaking…" → What modifications ? Sirene NPC (1) Choose a portrait for Sirene: I like [2] and [5] (2) Don’t select Divine Champion as an alternative kit as it will be skipped during the installation because this kit is not installed. 0 - Sirene NPC for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition 2 - Cavalier Drake NPC (1) Option: Install Universal Crossbows, Crossbow Proficiency for Drake? [2]=No Because Caedwyr reported potential issue with EET. Just in case i removed this component.

Because of how WeiDU handles and preserves installation order, the earlier you can place mods like this the easier it will make any future mod updates to your installation. This is also a pretty good place for item/store mods, especially if they're stable and unlikely to be updated often.

Since this was a mod which I added the EET compatibility, this issue didn't came up in the original version before I started maintaining it. I don't really play with BG2 Xan mods myself to know how much would those mods act on if I'd give their Xan additional stuff and I can't even promise that if the player somehow pass over these additional gear to BG2 (via stripping Xan off in BG1 at one point, stashing away these new items in a container then returning to it after irenicus's dungeon) then the gear would be compatible with the BG2 Xan counterparts. 0: Melia Quicknight, Crossroads 1: Bimmy's Badgering Bandits 2: Reinforced Gnoll Stronghold 3: Bear Encounter near the Gnoll Stronghold 4: Xan's New Grove (new items in Mulahey's cave) 5: Daenni's Bridge Bandits 6: The Fire Drake in the Wyvern Cave 7: Undercity Magma Bulwark Encounter; Red Skeleton-(U.M.B.E.R.S.)

For me SRR was refering to Bartimaeus' SRR Thanks for the load order. It completes what i have. In particular i wasn't sure about IR Store Revisions. I like the description from the readme but i was almost ready to remove it because it is also supposed to be Incompatible with mods that add new items into vanilla stores (from the readme???). Any confirmation about this ? I also put MSfM with other item mods including IR's main component.

When you extract a mod, you have to make sure that each extracted mod folder contains : - setup-"modname".exe -"modrname" folder - Inside the "modname" folder, you also have a "modrname".tp2 file. Nb: the key here is, this is the same "modname" for all 3. Nb : the mod folder can have any name. For example: You download Spell Revisions (.exe or .zip; it doesn't matter). After extracting with 7zip for example you should get a folder with a name (like Spell_Revisions-v4b18; you are free to change its name). Within that mod folder you should find : a modname folder (here it is spell_rev) and a file setup-spell_rev.exe. Within the spell_rev folder there is a .tp2 file called spell_rev.tp2 Master version of mods may come without this setup-modname.exe next to the "modname" folder. In that case you copy the last version of the weidu.exe (weidu installer) and you rename it. You will find the latest version of the wiedu installer here : https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/tag/v249.00 I download : WeiDU-Windows-249-x86.zip. You look for the weidu.exe. This is the weidu installer to use.

Mix was refering to what you said above. Now i understand what you meant. You mainly installed v4b19. Does your mod "Subtledoctor’s Random Tweaks" is also included in this v4b19 ? If not i will definitely look at your tweak mod at one point. Thanks for the precision. I tend to forget about that. I just did an install with v4b19 (i guess the Docs folder within the master folder can be deleted; and i created the missing setup-spell_exe with the last version of weidu.exe). I am going to go with this v4b19 version. I will probably check Bart’s changes in the future (for now SRR seems to mess up with IWDification and TotLM as shown in the debug above). At the moment i still go with [SCS IWD spell pack + IWDification other components] but i will probably install the other components i want somewhere else in my load order (not in the spell section). My objective to build my own personal EET is really time consuming as i am almost ignorant about programming and modding, but i really can't just applied a load order from an experienced modder. I am keeping track of everything i am doing to share the whole process with the community. thanks for your extended patience and time. One last question : in my load order, should i put the Item section before or after the Spell section? I have seen both options implemented and i don't know which one is less "conflictual".

Preparing my EET install. As i had some issues with SOD2BG2, SR or SRR, IWDification and LotLM, i am doing some tests focusing on those mods on a clean BG2EE. - I know that i want to include some Spell Revisions (SR or SRR or a "mix"). What is the main difference between those two ? I don't know which one to consider. - I also want to complete with IWD spells (without getting annoying doublons). At the moment i am going with IWDification over SCS IWD spell versions because i may be interested by some other components from IWDification. - I didn't install 55 - Spell Deflection blocks AoE spell form SR/SRR because i read that it is not compatible with IWDification. I did one install with SR and an other one with SRR for comparaison. They both show warnings or errors within the debug files and i don't know what to do next. It looks quite ok with SR (beside some warnings that could be harmelss) but i have major issues with the SRR install. Would you give a look at both if you have some time ?

I have some weird issues installing the v2.0.3 on a clean blank BG2EE V2.6.6. ProjectInfinity-WeiDU-Debug--.log ProjectInfinity-WeiDU-Error--.log WeiDU.log Setup-sod2bg2_iu.debug

Just to report and check if i my assumptions are relevant. I have been testing your mods and i had an "esthetic annoying issue" with the "Enable timer module" component of EEex. Playing a Paladin was making the timer to be permanent ? I guess there are some contingency interval routines on the background related to the paladin abilities ? We end up with a most probably permanent green vertical bar next to the NPC portrait going up and down in cycles of around 10s. In my case the temporary solution should be to remove this component.

With Project Infinity, i have a mod that seems to come from nowhere : kalah - Andyr's Kalah expansion component for Unfinished Business From PI this mod has been extracted from \ub-v28\ub I've found nothing about this UB "submod" in the UB readme. Within Kalah folder there is a kalah.tp2 (in the same folder with setup_kalah_what_he_was_promised.tpa). And PI treats this kalah.tp2 as a separate mod. Does anyone know what this mod do ? I installed both UB and this kalah mod with PI (there is no other way to install kalah). And we get an install error for Kalah! If you are using PI you should probably ignore this kalah mod.

Good initiative. I may use this topic extensively to request help and to share what i am gathering.

I was just checking my "work in progress" EET load order, and i found out that Ajantis BG1 Expansion is installed after Sir Ajantis NPC for BGII by Jastey. I moved Sir Ajantis NPC for BGII to be installed before Hidden Adventures (for the "Anomen's extended plot"), and also before BG1NPC Project (as the second optional component will install the BeamDog inventory BAM for Ajantis' family shield (green dragon on golden ground). If not installed, the BG1NPC Project shield graphic will be used) Ajantis BG1 Expansion, on the other hand should be installed after Endless BG1, Transitions and after BG1NPC Project (as indicated in the readme). I was wondering, as i usually try to install an NPC mod for BG1 before its "continuation" mod for BG2. To get to the point : is it a problem to install Ajantis for BG1 after Ajantis for BG2 ? Any issue with the continuity ? Both mods also propose alternative kits for Ajantis. Should i just eventually select an alternative for Ajantis BG1 and don't select any kit for Ajantis BG2 ?

I usually do a "clean" installation before launching any mod installation. I avoid using the uninstall function from PI as i had some weird results in the past. I just delete both BGEE and BG2EE folders dedicated to EET and past saved copies of both already launch versions. I also do "multiple" install to get 3 games : BGEE, BG2EE and EET. By doing this i can easily test a BGEE or a BG2EE prior to any EET consideration. This time it seems that all compents have been installed without warnings. I did one more manipulation: i also delete the "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy" located in documents (which contains .lua file and the "save" folder. Thanks @Gwaihir for the precision. I do join the "full" debug just in case. I also take advantage of this post to ask for some "minor" advices or recommandations regarding the first part of my EET installation : 1/ "40 - Restored Bhaalspawn Powers" : there is also a version of this component in BG1 UB. Any reason to install one in particular ? And i guess the last installed is going to overwrite the one installed fiirst. 2/ Expanded Epilogues for Bioware NPCs. There are two options : "60 - David Gaider's expanded epilogues for Bioware NPCs" or "61 - Alternate epilogues by Shawne" I really don't know which one to choose. Considering that i haven't played ToB yet and that i am quite enjoying expanded content, which would you advice me to select ? (i know it is about personal taste but i am open to your feedbacks). 3/ The list below is the first part of my install order and i will complete it with a large number of mods (all my gratitude to @Caedwyr, @Cahir, @4udr4n , @subtledoctor, @Gwaihir for their threads). If anyone can "check" this first part of my install order for advices and recommandations to build a stable "foundation" beforee going further, i would feel more confident and it could help me to save some time. - I don't know if manually installing few components of Oversight in BG2EE is a good idea. Any feedback about those components in particular: "1: Alignment Correction", "2: Class Tweaks/Fixes" (?), "4: Improved Continuity" and "8: Expanded Brynnlaw" ? - I am not sure if putting Almateria's Restoration Projet, Ascension and Imoen Forever so early is not a mistake ? - Finally i decided to divide the quest mods in two groups, quests with BG1 followed by quests by BG2 content. It's because i am more familiar with BG1 mods and by doing that way it is more easy to build at the same time a BGEE install order.

I have install errors with latest version of Ascension on an EET install. If anyone could have a look i would be very grateful and it could save me some time. The following components are not installed : Ascension:0;Ascension - Rewritten Final Chapter of Throne of Bhaal Ascension:10;Ascension - Balthazar can be redeemed Ascension:20;Ascension - Improved Sarevok-Player Interactions I have been updatint to 2.0.2.3 and did an install with the beginning of my EET install with PI. It didn't go well with Ascension. I then did an install of Ascension on a clean BG2EE and everythink looks fine. I guess the issue has to do with one of the mods intalled before Ascension : Mods Installed in BGEE prior to EET Core Version DlcMerger 1.3 BG1 Unfinished Business 16.4 The Stone of Askavar TSOA 2.2 Tenya Thermidor 1.5c Sirene NPC 2.81 Drake NPC 1.61 White 2.4 Verr'Sza NPC BG1EE 5.4 EET Core Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Trilogy (EET) : EET core 13.4 Atypical Content Mods High Quality soundclips for BG2EE extended content 1.2 UI related mods EeeX 0.9.4 lefreut’s enhanced UI (BG2EE Skin) 4.4.4 EEUITweaks User Interface Mods Collection 3.8 BG:EE Classic Movies 2.3.1 Bubb's Spell Menu Extended 4.1 "Sensitive" mods Ascension 2.0.23 Let me know if you need some other files (and which ones). Thanks in advance Setup-Ascension.debug WeiDU.log WeiDU-BGEE.log

Bravo ! I really appreciate. It is going to be part of my must have mods for my next EET install. Any recommandation about install order ? I am thinking to put it right at the end after SCS/aTwkeaks/npc_ee/dual to kits ?

@jastey I have just been adding Brandock in my modlist and The Lure of Sirine's Call needs to go after Brandock according to Project Infinity. Would you confirm this rule ?

New :Update with v4.4.4 : Both alternative Portait mods from EEUITweaks "broke" leUI SoD (didn't try with leUI) BillyYan's Multi-Portrait Mod - Compatible with leUI It broke the character selection screen and prtrait picker with leUI installed : not able to choose between male/female; the "back button doesn't work for me. 1040 - Mr2150's Portrait Picker (Scaleable UI) - Compatible with leUI No more available portraits to select from It is all about EEUITweaks for leUI. I have just been "extensively" testing how to "set" EEUITweaks for leUI because i am using Project Infinity (and you don't automatically know which component is "autorised" with leUI as it is the case when you do a manual installation), because the infos concernint EEUITweaks may be hard to gather, and because i am preparing an "ambitious" EET install... My main interrogations concerning leUI/EEUITweaks, at the moments, are : 1/ "2120 - CLUAConsole for mobile" : How do i activate it ? Is it of any use to install this component on a computer ? 2/ "2010 - Feedback Message Box Buttons Hack": For my usage, this component seems almost irrelevant as i can just click on the Message Box to change its size. Is there any alternative solution to implement a "Button" whether to expand the Box "completely" in order to read (to show all the "active" messages), or to "collapse" the message box (to make it as small as possible) ? 3/ 5020 - lefreut's Box 5 (Dialog Box) Override i can't find how this component changes the game interface ? Any clue. or a visual ? 4/ My modlist also have some other mods that may impact the UI : EEex, Bub 5/ 4040 - Kilivitz's Classic Spellbooks : i can't see any difference with the "vanilla" leUI spellBooks. After checking this component is a variation of leUI spellbook (if iam right) ? So i guess there is no point to select this component with leUI ? I am also posting the following stuff b/c it could be "helping". ------------------------------------------------ Install notes about leUI and EEUITweaks------------------------------------------------------------ (GREEN = part of the installation, ORANGE = compatible but not sure to install it yet, RED = note to keep in mind or a question, blablabla = not selected (for personal reason or b/c it is not compatible) In short the GREEN components are my personal selection to use with leUI (and probably the one i would recommand if asked...but it is all about personal taste at the end). lefreut’s enhanced UI (leUI) 0: Lefreut's Enhanced UI: Core Component 1: Lefreut's Enhanced UI: Vanilla fonts for descriptions 3: Lefreut's Enhanced UI: BG2 vanilla fonts for description Lefreut's Enhanced UI In-game options (Graphics menu): 1° Show Sidebar toggle button 2° Show Quicksave button 3° Show Highlight button 4° Small right sidebar buttons 5° Left click on portrait to level up 6° Reverse +/- buttons position 7° Single Click to Map Travel 8° Quests in journal collapsed by default EEUITweaks User Interface Mods Collection (1)The functionalities of components skipped and/or listed as not compatible with leUI are often already included within leUI.

I am preparing an EET install with Project Infinity Due to PI being very slow, i divide my installation preparation in few parts. For each part there is a corresponding Installsequence.csv Do i have to uninstall EET_end before installing the next part and then reapply EET_end ... Or can i keep my installation on top of EET_end and then reapply EET_end to do some tests before continuing.

I manage to go through all my interrogations about portraits. My only question is about your install order. Do you remember any reason why PPE after The Picture Standard? Anyway thanks for all your work.
