I can install a VM and give it a whirl to help bugtest.

I am getting a crash whenever a spell is cast. It has happened on two installs. The first had Spell Revisions and several components that added spells or modified their graphics. I removed most mods that affected spells or spell animations. Crash still happens. This has happened from multiple spells - including the Protection from Evil from Firehair in the Inn and the practice team battle in the barracks casting Magic Missile. Any idea what could be causing it? I also have issues with NPCs leaving the area. Ascalon's Breagar left the inn area after having his book returned and that caused a CTD in a previous install, so I omitted the mod from my most recent install because other characters, included modded characters like Finch and Grey the Dog were able to exit the area without CTD. However, another issue I am having is with Jondalar. You talk to him, he turns hostile and attacks and Erik with the bow attacks too. If you hit one of them, they cease to be hostile and continue the conversation normally. But then they get stuck leaving the area because they head for the nearby warehouse door with the rats and Gray the Dog cuts them off. After a few moments Jondalar and the dwarf outside the door who tasks you to kill the rats both turn hostile. I removed the Jondalar fix from my most recent install, but the problem continued without the fix. Any idea how I can fix these bugs? I haven't even been able to make it out of Candlekeep yet! LOL GemRB.log

https://www.fontmirror.com/trispace I found a font that looks pretty nice in widescreen. I prefer the Semi Condensed Extra Bold. And for other stupid people, it's actually pretty easy to install ttf font support. You download those two links on the font page and extract them directly into the lib folder. Then you dump the font into the GemRB\override folder and change Normal to something else in GemRB\unhardcoded\"game"\fonts.2da

Bold or Black look great. But are you saying the style column doesn't work?

Title says it all. Do any GUI mods work with GemRB? And I've tried understanding the TTF thing. The font is really hard to read in GemRB and I figured someone out there has a font in the override already that I can just point my config to and everything will look great? Or maybe you can translate the font instructions into stupid for me, please? Thanks!

How scientific. I'll make another go at an install this afternoon and see if I can duplicate the problem on another instance of BG2.

Yup. Finch's dialogues are around the 150ks. What the heck did I do?

The most recent GemRB (.9?) That's a lot of empty strings - like half of my dialogue.tlk. I borked my installation, I think. But I will see what Finch is pointing at. I couldn't figure out the TTF instructions. Sorry. Not a big deal though. Which of the ResRef's in Fonts.2da is the chat window. That's the only place I want a bigger font. Replacing all the other fonts made everything too big - like store inventories and the character screen/generator.

I think I figured it out. NI says 94314 to 297438 of dialogue.tlk are blank. Anyone have an idea why?

I found this thread. Is there a dialogue.tlk string count limit of 400,000? I'm at 433,833 according to NI. Is there a way to increase the stringcount in GemRB?

I'm not sure if this is a megamod issue or if this is a GemRB thing. I cannot see dialogue from modded NPCs. I can see numbers. I wonder if this has something to do with me screwing around with Font.2da trying to make bigger fonts for the chatbox. In the attached, you can see the greeting from Finch in Candlekeep. No visible dialogue. The second attachment you can see the numbered choices, and you can select stuff and eventually get to End Dialogue. Any idea on how to fix this? Also, any suggestions on how to mod the Font.2da file? I dropped a couple "Bigger Fonts" into the GemRB override but they were too big. It was difficult to see things in stores and on the character sheet. I just want the chatbox to be bigger, not everything, but sometimes if I tweak the size column of fonts.2da then GemRB just hangs and BGMain tries to open and immediately crashed. What setting would I change for the chatbox? The default font is also a little unclear and hard to read. Does anyone have any good font setups I could steal? I downloaded the TTF utilities, but I'm not quite sure how to use them. Thank you for your help so far. I feel like I am so close to getting to play a 10pp game. That's really all I want. I want to see all the modded NPC content that I've never been able to see over the years because I feel badly if I dump Jahiera, Khalid, Minsc and Dynaheir.

Ctrl-W COOL!
