I'm open for crossmod material, but possibilities for crossmod are endless and more work than players would think if they see the resulting one, two dialogues in the game. Crossmod for my mods more or less happens if I have a mod along while writing for mine or if I notice one that would conflict if I do not consider it, but my time is limited. I will not play with Imoen Romance; so I doubt any comments of Ajantis to it will happen anytime soon, if at all.

EDIT: The short answer is "no", I guess. I'm not familiar enough with the Imoen Romance mod and I'm not interested in playing with it.

I4E after Text Patches and after BGT is fine.

Ajantis

In a former version it was that Ajantis from the mod was skipped if my Sir Ajantis BGII mod was detected. I don't know whether this was changed in any way, though.

So you suggest moving it even earlier?

Yes.

Before Ascension?

Probably - I don't know what exactly Ascension changes. I4E changes text lines and adds triggers to relevant reply options so it needs the game as original as possible.

Do you expect anything game breaking when using incompatible mods?

I would think that what I listed above should be about all incompatibilities (i.e. content wise with regard to Imoen's whereabouts). The only real incompatibility was with NPC Strongholds if Imoen takes over the Thiefguild before going to Spellhold but that should be fixed.

Imoen 4 Ever

One warning about I4E: it changes the story arch by giving back Imoen in chapter 2&3. Most mods do not consider this possibility, so they assume Imoen is kidnapped (if talking about her) and Imoen will be addressed as if she was freed from Spellhold already (if she is talked to). Have a look into the I4E forum for compatibility list.

Also, recommendation is to install I4E before mods that might insert reply options in BGII.

If you install NPC Strongholds and Brandock, install Brandock after NPC Strongholds. Have a look here for an install order list of "my" mods. I think you got the other mods on my list/I am maintaining right though.

I understand the enthousiasm, but please only post mods here that are EET compatible.

Thank you for the reports. The list will be updated at some point. Everyone, feel free to make pull requests on GitHub to speed up the process.

Jastey's Adjantis mod for BG2 does -- though if you don't romance him (as a female bhaalspawn) you'll miss out on some content.

Well, the romance, which is a bit "doh", but apart from that, the smaller quests and reactions to game events etc are available for non-romance case, too. The friendship track has less dialogues than the romance, that is true. For ToB, Ajantis doesn't feel as connected to the PC's destiny if they are not romancing so he doesn't have to cope that much with what is happening.

@Ezakimake that's a funny pic. But please give proper credit to the original artist and only post a link if it's copyrighted content.

@subtledoctor thank you very much for the clearification! Very appreciated.

@Endarire I'd suggest removing mods where the spells do not count to the limit from this list, or listing them in a separate paragraph so people know they were considered.

-Northern Tales of the Sword Coast (NTotSC)
Adds Fiery Cloud and Skeleton Guard as arcane spells with scrolls in Sorcerous Sundries (Baldur's Gate city).

How does this 50 spells per level work. As far as I can see, NTotSC only adds the spells as spell scrolls, but doesn't add it to the spell select / character creation screen. Do they still count?

Great! Thanks for the feedback!

to set Player1's dialogue file using SetDialog

That's what I was speculating in my last post, sorry for being cryptic.

How do you start the CHAIN? If it's done via script the setting of the dlg could be added there, but I guess you're aware of that.

Will that cause issues elsewhere?

It's always used for the original content afaik so I guess it would be fine (and mods that need something else should take care of it and set it back to player1.dlg afterwards, probably).

I have absolutely no idea.  I did read about multiplayer where one controlled Minsc and the other controlled Dynaheir so it should be possible, though.

However I tried to write == PLAYER1 ~The text here.~ in a CHAIN initiated by an NPC, and when I tested it out, the conversation terminated right before that line IIRC.

Hmm. Maybe I didn't understand how player1.dlg actually works. All I know is that something like "StartDialog("player1",Player1)" works.

Maybe you'd have to set player1.dlg to be Player1's dialogue before using it in a chain.

In BGII Player1 has a dlg file, it's player1.dlg - BGII uses it for things that "happen" to the PC like the slayer change etc. Even if it weren't, you could still make an invisible helper creature, give it PC's name (portrait I'm not sure) and let it speak.

You already said it yourself - I'd advice against railroading the PC like this, though. It's usually not well received by players. (Cutscenes aren't either.)

Guest Pigmul: please stick to English language in this forum. You can always use the PM function to ask about translations.

@tipun best you tag people by typing the @ and the name and then chose the user's name from the dropdown list. This way the user gets notified.

The mod can be installed after your mod. The main thing is to install it after mods that greatly change the user interface. After those that replace ui.menu. (Like Dragonspear UI and similar ones)

My question was whether it makes sense that it will be installed before NPC mods. I guess you reply answers my question, though.

It's always a joy to work with you!

Congrats on the release!

Great, thank you!

When in the install order would you say this should be installed - is it a tweak which should come late or can I assume that it's installed before my NPC mod?

Thanks!

it might not be such a hurdle to hit it over the head with a hammer until it behaves itself

I've not had issues with it in single-player games, just this time in my multi-player game.

I don't think there is anything I can do - apart from considering every damn cutscene in the game.

You know the funny part? The 7th party members come with the PC in every cutscene, even if it's supposed to be one of the PC's dreams or - oh joy! - the very private romantic encounter suddenly turns out to be a threesome. So, hearing that this time the transition in a cutscene glitched is... hilarious.

No idea. He is in familiar mode so if he doesn't make it out, the PC's familiar could be stuck just as well. I don't really remember: is this a cutscene or how is the leaving of the mine after the flooding done? Where exactly does Grey not come along?

How i will find out in fact when some mods will not working on 2.6 ? Its gonna saying some errors while install it ? Or i have just check it in-game thats work fine ?

This question can't be answered for all mods in one sentence, either, plus noone knows which mod will be effected how. My Endless BG1 mod installed fine on 2.6, but then glitched out once the party returns to the Palace after killing Sarevok.

Not to sound blunt, but I doubt anyone can actually answer these questions, only give statements and own opinions.

1. I can't say how long the release will take still so you need to decide how long you are willing to wait.

2. Noone knows which mods will still work and which will need to be adpated - time will tell. What is sure is that thre are mods that will not be compatible.
