There are a few mods more that are having the same problem on a classic BGT game.

I could not install most of the KITTED NPCS (SoB v2.9.3) NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Imoen a Spellfilcher NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Minsc a Barbarian Ranger NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Choose a kit for Khalid: -> Make Khalid a Harrier SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED NPCs: Choose a kit for Kivan: -> Make Kivan a Stalker NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Choose a kit for Coran: -> Make Coran a Sniper NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Choose a kit for Branwen: -> NPCs: Make Branwen a Battleguard of Tempus (DR) NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Safana a Swashbuckler SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED NPCs: Make Ajantis an Inquisitor SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED NPCs: Make Montaron an Assassin SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED NPCs: Choose a kit for Faldorn: -> NPCs: Make Faldorn an Avenger NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Eldoth a Jongleur NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Garrick a Gallant NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Choose a kit for Viconia: -> Make Viconia a Darkcloak of Shar (SoB) NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Valygar a Mage Hunter SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED NPCs: Make Haer'Dalis a Skald NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Mazzy a Hearthguard of Arvoreen NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS NPCs: Make Aerie a Fastpaws of Baervan Wildwanderer I got the error message: ERROR: [MINSC.cre] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Invalid_argument("Char.chr")) This is because of the wrong code at kit creation: WRITE_SHORT 0x244 0 WRITE_BYTE 0x246 ~%d5_FILCH%~ // changes kit WRITE_BYTE 0x247 0x40 As the bigg pointed out all these instances should be replaced by: WRITE_SHORT 0x244 0 WRITE_SHORT 0x246 0x4000 + ~%d5_FILCH%~ // changes kit // WRITE_BYTE 0x247 0x40 Similar with all the other kits. Once there were some posts about this, but unfortunately they disappeared from the internet. http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=21964%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0 and cmorgan's post: http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=21964&p=183270 Maybe they can be recovered again? There is an incorrect statement in the README-SoB.html: With TobEx installed you can install up to 1280 kits. TobEx adds a scroll bar to the kit selection panel so you can select them easily.

In a megamod with many kits I get this error: ERROR: [kpchap01.cre] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Invalid_argument("Char.chr")) ERROR Installing [Install Battleguard of Tempus Cleric Kit], rolling back to previous state Will uninstall 29 files for [DIVINE_REMIX/SETUP-DIVINE_REMIX.TP2] component 109.

Installation of many mods and components fail if they are installed after the Implement sphere system component. For example I could not install: RR comp 9 spell_rev comp 60 Unique Artifacts Item_Rev comp 1030 Store Revisions 1ppv4 comp 210 Infinity Animations comp 0 IWDIFICATION comp 40 IWD Divine Spell Pack STRATAGEMS comp 4240, 5010 Aurora comp 0 ... and many, many other mods. Without the "Implement sphere system" component I could install all mods mentioned above without any error. The errors are repeatable.

I found out the cause for this problem: In v3 the tp2 had the lines: READ_2DA_ENTRY row 23 (23 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") "conj" SET_2DA_ENTRY row (22 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") (23 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") ~%conj%~ In v4 those lines were changed into: READ_2DA_ENTRY row 23 (22 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") "conj" SET_2DA_ENTRY row (21 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") (22 + "%IK_EDWIN_KIT%") ~%conj%~ As a result of this, in the weapprof.2da the column IK_BATTLERAGER is replaced by another column. I have changed this back to the former code and now Refinements installs faultless. Also in the file adventurer.tpa there are the lines: READ_2DA_ENTRY row 7 (22 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") "conj" SET_2DA_ENTRY row (21 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") (22 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") ~%conj%~ This causes that the row IK_TRUESWORD is replaced and Refinements fails with the same error as above. I have changed this into: READ_2DA_ENTRY row 7 (23 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") "conj" SET_2DA_ENTRY row (22 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") (23 + "%IK_ADVENTURER%") ~%conj%~ and now Refinements installs faultless.

I could not install Auren Aseph because of errors: ERROR: cannot locate aurenaseph/audio/K#AUREP&.wav Stopping installation because of error. ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "rename", "aurenaseph/audio/K#AUREP&.wav") ERROR: cannot locate aurenaseph/audio/K#AUREP^.wav Stopping installation because of error. ERROR: Unix.Unix_error(20, "rename", "aurenaseph/audio/K#AUREP^.wav") Because of the special characters in the filename the files cannot be converted from ogg to wav. I tried the characters t and § instead. Both worked for me.

In a megamod there are several files from different mods that cause that the installation of the components "Add high-level abilities (HLAs) to spellcasters", "Smarter Mages" and "Smarter Priests" will fail. This was already reported here: http://forums.gibber...ndpost&p=208149 and here: http://forums.gibber...ndpost&p=207580 Two of them come from TDD, some from other mods and two apparently from BG2 itself. How can I exclude them from the patching procedure? Is there any "exclude"- list?

I saw only today your request. attached is the German.TRA SCS_v23_german.zip

There is still a small issue. In line 53 it should read INSERT_2DA_ROW 1 4 ~%tooltip_itm% %mi_col_1% %mi_col_2% %mi_col_3%%extra%~ instead of INSERT_2DA_ROW 0 4 ~%tooltip_itm% %mi_col_1% %mi_col_2% %mi_col_3%%extra%~ INSERT_2DA_ROW 0 4 adds the column heading halfway through the rows and as a result the installation of Big Picture fails again. 2DA V1.0 -1 WA2HELM 183958 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SW2H19 183944 183929 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 STAF20 183769 183771 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SPER09 183712 183713 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SPER08 183712 183713 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING34 183610 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING33 183607 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING30 183602 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING26 183588 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING05 183569 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 NPSHLD 183505 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 LEAT18 183364 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 HELM18 183289 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 HELM17 183286 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CLCK07 183070 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CLCK04 183063 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CHAN10 183031 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BRAC20 182982 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BOOT11 182884 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BLUN27 182823 182825 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BELT09 182763 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 AMUL25 182685 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 AMUL20 182674 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 INSERT_2DA_ROW 1 4 adds the column heading on top of the file and now also Big Picture can be installed trouble-free. 2DA V1.0 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 WA2HELM 183958 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SW2H19 183944 183929 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 STAF20 183769 183771 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SPER09 183712 183713 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 SPER08 183712 183713 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING34 183610 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING33 183607 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING30 183602 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING26 183588 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 RING05 183569 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 NPSHLD 183505 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 LEAT18 183364 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 HELM18 183289 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 HELM17 183286 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CLCK07 183070 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CLCK04 183063 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 CHAN10 183031 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BRAC20 182982 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BOOT11 182884 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BLUN27 182823 182825 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 BELT09 182763 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 AMUL25 182685 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 AMUL20 182674 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

In a BWP installation I tried to install IR after BGT and after the big BG2 mods as discussed at SHS: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/52117-big-w...-v102-released/ However, doing so there arises a new problem with BPv180 and the TOOLTIP.2DA The TOOLTIP.2DA starts with 3 columns. The big BG2 mods change this system into 10 columns. When installing IR after these mods IR adds some entries with 3 columns on top of TOOLTIP.2DA. BP expects 10 columns inside TOOLTIP.2DA and such the installation fails. [./override/TOOLTIP.2DA] loaded, 24300 bytes override/TOOLTIP.2DA copied to BPv180/BACKUP/0/TOOLTIP.2DA, 24300 bytes Appended text to [TOOLTIP.2DA] Appending to files ...

On trial I cut the entries with 3 columns from top of the TOOLTIP.2DA and pasted them to the bottom of it and I could install BP without any error. Unprofessionally I could imagine one of these solutions:: 1. Installing also the IR main components together with all its other components after BP (the easiest way). Is there any reason against it? 2. Changing IR's TOOLTIP.2DA so that it starts with 10 columns 3. Adding IR's entries at the bottom of TOOLTIP.2DA instead of the top 4. A patch for BP to handle with 3 columns

Again I came across an error with the Item Randomiser component 1300. I reported this some time ago. http://www.shsforums.net/topic/49944-big-w...post__p__516768 Is there any fix for this?

German translation is finished! David, you have an email!

I found a typo: COPY_EXISTING ~hgwar01.cre~ ~overrride~

German translation will be ready this weekend.

I found the reason for this error: it comes from a faulty stats.ids With a corrected stats.ids I could install the mod without any error. The new stats.ids will be included in my next fixpack.

I have got an similar error. I am just installing SCSII in a BGT megamod. I get a lot of unexpected troubles because of some faulty files in some of the mods installed before. They prevent installation of some components. Most of them I can fix. But there is one problem, I can not solve. I got this error message: [scsII/mage/bpscriptlist.2da] loaded, 525 bytes ERROR: [XAN.CRE] -> [override/XAN.CRE] Patching Failed (COPY) (Invalid_argument("String.sub")) I'm not sure, which mod causes the error. What does this mean? I have deleted that faulty file XAN.CRE out of the override folder, because it gets replaced by a new one created by SCSII. Can I do so or will this cause other troubles?
