If this thread

is correct, then it might be a kit or something else that blocks the installation. Didn't find other threads with this error message.

Based on other topics and Davids response, I think it is an issue with EET (installed after EET_end). 

The error is: 

ERROR: Sys_error("override/lu*.2da: Invalid argument") (or similar referring to lu*.2da)

for the subraces component it is: ERROR: Failure("resource [*.2da] not found for 'COPY'")

This happens for quite a lot of components (IWD Bard Songs, IWD Paladins, Thiefs Evasion, Traps Rebalancing, Revised favoured enemies, Revised Shapeshift Powers, Revised Specialty Priests, Specialty mages receive one spell if possible, Bloodlines for Sorcerers, Dragon Disciples can by any chromatic, rebalanced and revised kits, elemental specialists, force mage, militant wizards, blood rager, new choices for gods, multiclass druids,... at this point I stopped the installation because I think there is something pretty wrong)

I also noticed a lot of errors of this style in the debug-file, but those have not been preventing the installation of the components.

DEBUG-File has the size fo 20 MB and can't be attached. 

Next steps:

- trying to find more topcis here related to this error

- trying to install the mod before EET-end to check if this changes anything. 

WeiDU.log

How will the mod treat mods like Aura, Drake und Sirene? They provide a kit of their own for these NPCs. Will these kits stay as they are or will they be overwritten or modified?

The readme says that ToF will be compatible with simple kit-mods, so I would guess there is a chance for compatibility. But ToF changes the cleric specialist system (Drake?) and removes illusionist specialists (Aura as articifier/illusionist?). And Sirene provides a paladin kit... 

Any comments on this issue? 

I would agree with agris: I used the black pearl as it was mentioned in the dialogue and then some gems that have been available. Afterwards I checked the description of some gems (never did this before). Therefore a quite useful experience. 

Changelog says nobody touched instant.ids

And it is listed in the file. 

I'm using EET (13.4) based on 2.6.6 EE versions. 

WeiDU log attached. 

And yes, pretty strange. I was happy that I could fix it, but no idea why. 

WeiDU-EET.txt

Here we go: I had to remove the "disable creature" effect from DW#KPSPY.CRE Don't ask me why but now the spawn points are working as I guess they are intended. 

Well as I can't detect the "bird" it seems that DW#KPSPY.CRE is destroyed, but the spawn point I was watching (Ar1302, 708.631) has a max creature limit of 1, but is constantly creating trolls like the script (dw#spntr.bcs) should do. Other spawn points in the area show the same behavior. 

Ok, here we go: There are spawn points in the d'Arnise Keep (e.g. ar1302, ar1303) which spawn DW#KPSPY.CRE. This cre has a script that spawns randomly trolls and ends with DestroySelf(). But it doesn't because for some reason, this cre has Imoen's belt equipped, to it can't die (DestroySelf is not working), so the cre spawns permanently trolls with a speed, that you nearly can't kill them with Ctrl+Y. And definitely not conventionally So I guess this behavior is not intended. 

As SCS was the last installed mod, I don't think that another mod equipped it with Imoen's belt. Maybe another mod changed the belt so DestroySelf is not working. Well, I'm going to check this

Well, played Chess with T, but I still have the white knight-errand in my bag which I should not have according to the dialogue. I also won against T maybe this does not happen that often and this branch of the dialogue has the problem?

SCS did put an item into Davaeorns inventory at slot 1, overwriting or pushing the plug key out of the inventory so it does not drop. Might be that too many items have been put in Davaeorns inventory. The specific item is DW#RND26.

Maybe SCS needs a routine to check, if a slot of the inventory is already occupied before placing an item there?

My feedback on the mod with two runs using version 1.12 for the latest one:

And some comments on the compatibility mentioned in other posts (I had both mods installed and played): 

- no problem with SotSC and the skeleton mother

- no problem with Breagar and the quest in the Iron Throne HQ

Other references to sources of the game like items, etc. (most relevant are cre's). Maybe you don't have to change much but you have to check everything (or let beta-testers do the job ). 

If you keep compatibility from the start you can avoid a lot of non-identical references, but for an existing mod this can(!) be complicated. 

k4thos has a setup a webpage with all the resources and how they are named in EET, EE, vanilla and Tutu (I guess). But I don't remember the link.

Is this mod EET compatible? would love to try it in my EET playthrough looks amazing from the description

Should be compatible. 

There is no planar sphere mod in the EET compatibility list (https://k4thos.github.io/EET-Compatibility-List/EET-Compatibility-List.html). If you use the compatibility lists from other tools you should address these issues there...  

You don't have a EET installation. This seems to be a normal BG2 installation. And I'm not surprised that an installation like this crashes. Too many mods that do strange things. Best to ask the author of your tool... 

Tried to install the actual version 1.2 using a WeiDU 247 exe-file. I was only offered to install the slow-web component. Checking the tp2 there are some inconsistent */ and /* (so every component aside the slow-web was interpreted as comments) . I corrected the tp2 (see attached) and everything worked out. Maybe WeiDU 247 interprets the tp2 differently than the WeiDU version deliverd with the mod.

It's okay to start a new playthrough as of now or should I wait a bit more?

In addiotion to DavidW's answer: Always start a new playthrough. If there is a serious bug in the way you install or play game, DavidW would be happy to know about it. And this is the only way to detect it

Gatewarden was not there, spawned him: 

https://youtu.be/4_X7G-TGuYs

UB(?) removes the GateWarden and places a Watcher instead:

IF
    OnCreation()
    Global("Chapter","GLOBAL",5)
    Global("#L_FCleared","MYAREA",0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        SetGlobal("#L_FCleared","MYAREA",1)
        ActionOverride("GATEWA2",ChangeAIScript("",CLASS))
END

IF
    Global("UBNoWardenLvl6","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
    RESPONSE #100
        Deactivate("GATEWA2")  // Gatewarden
        CreateCreature("watch9",[851.691],S)  // Watcher
        SetGlobal("UBNoWardenLvl6","GLOBAL",1)
END

*I know I have seen him when entering the area for a short moment*

@Lauriel as a solution: maybe you spawn "your own" gatewarden so you don't depend on an existing one? And eliminate the existing one if UB is not installed?

Arkanis: well I avoid the two usually in the catacombs (seems that not many people do this  *winks to Miss J*).

I'll check about the gatewarden. There is someone in the room, but he was far away (and looked normal). Maybe the gatewarden has a random walk script?

btw: the dialogue with Tethoril can be repeated... so I can give it another try. 

Next issue: when returning from the catacombs we went to Tethoril and talked first to Arkanis (whom we didn't meet in the catacombs) waiting upstairs. After that we talke to Tethoril who metioned the doppelgangers and in the next line that someone removed the wards. Then the dialogue was over. No change in the journal and no word about the spiders?

Maybe I missed one of the spiders down there or possible trigger? Or is this the end of the quest?

Suprisingly Sistal was quite a challenge in this scenario. Nice idea to place him there. 

It approaches actively the group and is located northwest of Cadderly.

Feldane (in front of the library) has still his/her original dialogue lines about the two groups in the library. But the two groups are now gone. Lots of other dialogues have been adjusted, but not this one

I would recommend to keep it as it is. Because at this position no other mod interferes. For the later parts of the dialogue there is Drake at state 6 or 7, Walahnan, VerrSza at earlier states, some BG1Project interjection. So if you put your part at the end you will have to deal with the installation order and have to rely that the other mods use I_C_T in a correct way that your GOTO state is copied correctly. 

The slight irritation is not worth the possible problems in my opinion. In the end, the text of the note explains the task and one gets the journal entry. 

Looks like a timing issue. The message, that I received the item was printed after Scars long text of state 1. Your part is after state 0 and before state 1. The message of the journal entry is at the right place.

I did a replay of the scene to confirm this.
