    This is a malformed file left over in IWDEE, it is not actually used in the game. Easy solution, remove this from your game before installing. I’ll update the mod to delete this file, when I get a chance. 

    How do I remove it?

    When a fileis in override that's easy to bo but when it's in the BIF files...

    Probably best to install this before SCS. But, it may not matter and it is unrelated to your issue here.

    I tried to follow some pattern on mod installation, "new spells" before "spell tweaks" or something like that (the rest of scs was supposed to come later).

    A bit like I would install iwdification or the iwd spells components of scs long before the rest of SCS.

    Hi, I tried installing parts of this mod over the spells part of v35.4 SCS.

    On IWD, maybe that's an issues by irtself. It's nominally supported in the TP2 checks but IDK how many use it.

    I tried installing 1202 - Tweak Barkskin over this 

    // Log of Currently Installed WeiDU Mods
// The top of the file is the 'oldest' mod
// ~TP2_File~ #language_number #component_number // [Subcomponent Name -> ] Component Name [ : Version]
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #1600 // Use Baldur's Gate-style Insect Plague and Creeping Doom instead of Icewind Dale versions: 35.4
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #1610 // Use Baldur's Gate-style Mordenkainen's Sword in addition to Icewind Dale version: 35.4
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #2000 // Install all spell tweaks (if you don't select this, you will be given a chance to choose by category): 35.4
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #2500 // Add 9 new arcane spells: 35.4
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #2510 // Add 6 new divine spells (some borrowed from Divine Remix): 35.4
~STRATAGEMS/SETUP-STRATAGEMS.TP2~ #4 #2520 // Revised elementals and elemental summoning: 35.4

    First thing, I can't "just" install this component, I must first install 1 - Would you like to display components from random individual spell tweaks?: 2.6.3 otherwise the 1202 - Tweak Barkskin component is skipped.

    (I don't use interactive installations in general, I use force-install-list with a list of components)

    Then when I have component 1 installed and try to install 1202, there's an error

    Help with sys_error(setup_stratagems No such file or directory)

    in Sword Coast Stratagems

    Posted · Edited by mickabouille

    If I understand well, the setup-stratagen.exe binary (actually a renamed weidu.exe) tries to update itself (check version, download a newer  one ifmore recent etc.).

    That is (probably?) not required anyway with a recent enough scs version. But in any case, i guess it fails because it tries to find setup-stratagems while the file name is setup-stratagems.exe.

    Does replacing setup-STRATAGEMS with setup-STRATAGEMS.exe in the command you typed (adding .exe at the end) silences the error?

    In any case I think you could just ignore this error. And I think addind "--noautoupdate" at the end would disable it.

     

    EDIT: and yes, merging SoD is required before adding any mod. But modmerge is AFAIK deprectaed and replaced by DlcMerger.

    (Incidentally, ITM_say_description is being used, in other components, but you won't see it with a simple file search because it's hidden by preprocessing.)

    I expected as much, but not knowing how it is preprocessed limits my investigations. And is the reason of my excessive use of conditional forms and prudent phrasing.

     

    Yes I think this will probably work better, I'll try it.

    I feel there's maybe something here.

    I'm not really able to follow the code (there's some pre-processing that breaks my mind and my ability to analyze it) but I see

    • That on one side always.tph defines 
    OUTER_SET SFO_unusable_string_tra_ref=100400
OUTER_SET SFO_usable_string_tra_ref=100401

    Those are as you assume compatible with obg2 (no non-breaking spaces) and defined in shared.tra. 

    @100400 = ~Non utilisable par :~
@100401 = ~Utilisable par :~

    Those strings are only used in lib_itm.tpa ina patch function named "item_useability_string" themselves only used in "ITM_say_description" and "ITM_say_unidentified_description", both only called in "ITM_say_both_descriptions".

    But then I couldn't see "ITM_say_both_descriptions" used anywhere (but I see an similarly named "ITM_set_both_descriptions"... I could not find uses either).

    • On the other side 3020 "seems to" call "fine_weapons" in fine_weapons.tpa, which maybe calls make_fine_weapons

    This calls "handle_unusable" from lib_ietools.tpa.

    Then this one does 

    OUTER_SET strref=is_iwd?34753:is_bg2?74251:31522
ACTION_GET_STRREF strref unusable_string

    which (I may be wrong) I understand gets strref from the dialog.tlk file, not from a .tra file.

    In the bg2ee case, it selects 74251 which does contain the non-breaking space character (in iwdee case, 34753 is exatcly the samestring, with the nbsp).

    So maybe that's just a bug? That may not be apparent in english because shared.tra/@100400 and dialog.tlk/74251 are identical?

    Ok

    So I was wrong on one point : U+00A0 _is_ a non-breaking space in cp1252 so HANDLE_CHARSET is correctly _not_ converting it in anything when on obg2.

    BUT the obg2 engine appear to materialize the non-breaking space not as a space but as a dot sign a bit above the bottom line.

    To be honest, I didn't see it (the dot) myself, someone i had to someone ( @Jazira ) point it (my sight being less precise than it once was)

    (To be even more honest, I don't use obg2 or this component myself, and testing was inconvenient because tobex under linux seems to have some... quirks, unless it's not linux-specific of course)

    Sooo I finally understood.

    On obg2, 

    DEFINE_DIMORPHIC_FUNCTION handle_unusable

    will skip everything because of 

    ACTION_IF enhanced_edition BEGIN

    and just return the string that was given as argument (ie leaves the description from fine_weapon.tra as is)

    On the other hand, on bg2ee 

    OUTER_SET strref=is_iwd?34753:is_bg2?74251:31522

    will select @74251 

    @74251 = ~Non utilisable par ̲:~

    The " ̲" character is actually U+00A0 a non-ascii character and (alas) a character that does not exist in cp1252, the charset used for french by obg1/2.

    The function the looks in the item description the @74251 string to remove it. The description _does not_ come from the bg2ee dialog.tlk but from fine_weapons.tra which is encoded so as to be compatible with obg2. Which means it _can't_ contain the U+00A0 character. It uses (as obg2 does actually) an ascii space U+0020.

    So as I said in the OP, the lookup of the substring fails, index is -1 and DELETE_BYTES fails, the components ERRORs out.

    At the time I didn't go far enough and I though, on your advice "I should correct the fine_weapons.tra file to use nbsp instead".

    The component now works correctly on bg2ee. It even installs on obg2. But then it adds an U+00A0 character in the item description and it shows in-game as a "dot" character instead of a space.

    I don't see a way to work around this only with the translation file. I'd say the cause is a "source mismatch" where we're modifying data aimed at obg2 with data from bg2ee and we can't really reconcile both.

    I see some ways to fix it (there are probably others)

    • the option offered by Alywena above
    • using different version of fine_weapons.tra (I think iwdification has both a xxx.tra and a xxx_ee.tra in some places for example)

    But maybe someone else can propose something that involves only tra files...

    [b2] Revised shapeshift powers for druids and avengers being skipped for unclear reasons

    in Talents of Faerûn

    Posted · Edited by mickabouille

    Components are defined in the tp2 file. There usually is only one, name either <mod_name>.tp2 or setup-<mod_name>.tp2. I can be either in the game directory or (preferably) in the subdirectory named <mod_name>

    The syntax is ... not quite obvious but usually you have something like 

    BEGIN @XXX DESIGNATED YYY
// optional
REQUIRE_PREDICATE some_condition @ZZZ
[... instructions ]

END

    XXX is the number of the string with the name of the component (for example "Revised shapeshift powers for druids and avengers")

    YYY is the number of the component in the mod

    ZZZ is the number of the string that tells you  why the component was skipped ("This component conflicts with a similar component from tweaks Anthology; check the readme for details.")

    Apparently 2040 (changes to shapeshift spells) is incompatible with cdtweaks 1160 multiple stronghold). Maybe a number error? 

    REQUIRE_PREDICATE !MOD_IS_INSTALLED ~cdtweaks/setup-cdtweaks.tp2~ ~1160~ @96

    Also, I'm not sure why this component number is between ~~ but not the other predicates. Maybe ~1160~ and 1160 are equivalent

    'Increase the accuracy of Mordenkainen's Force Blade' not installing

    in Sword Coast Stratagems

    Posted

    Question regarding the tweak that's described as "Increase the accuracy of Mordenkainen's Force Blade" on bg2ee.

    I couldn't find the combination of components to manifest it.

    I suppose you need to install 1500 (install iwd arcane spells) and I expected 2080 (spells increased in power) to change the spell but it didn't (or... I think it didn't).

    I also tried 1500+2000 (all spell tweaks).

    I must be missing something...
