@Austin Hi, the ee.tra encoding should be fixed, please download master branch, test it and report it back.

Thank you! The problem is now solved!)
But there is one more point, which was reported by our testers: the setup.tra file must be without Russian translation, otherwise, when installing, it is a solid unreadable text. Replace it with an English setup.tra file, please (in ANSI encoding).

Mod has been updated to version 3.2!

"BG1 NPC in BG2" mod
(Author: Smiling Imp, additions - Austin & Arcanecoast Team)

This mod adds the majority of NPCs from BG1 into BG2 SoA&ToB. They have new banters and interjections and a few of them have encounters and quests as well. The mod is broken down into different components, allowing for easy mixing and matching with other mods that may also add NPCs from BG1.

Additionally, you will be able to visit a new city area, the luxurious Water Gardens, where all the rich and famous of Athkatla go to unwind.

The mod is compatible with BG2, BG2: EE, BGT and EET.

Version 12.6 includes the following changes:

• Added a LOT of Garrick's texts by Alisia! English proofreading and minor edits - sarevok57. Full changelog:

• Fixed a bug due to which Garrick could not appear in the tavern in the Docks
• A new (optional) group of components has been added, allowing some NPCs to be customized with special kits (for example, making Branwen a Priestess of Tempus, and Montaron an Assasin)

Hello! In the Russian version of the mod, the encoding of the ee.tra file is incorrect - it should be 1251, not UTF-8. Because of this, the game has unreadable characters instead of these lines. Please change the encoding, here is the corrected file!

All of Cirerrek's AI script mods got an update today as part of the anniversary countdown. All of them received shiny new Linux packages, EE compatibility (where applicable), plus some code modernization. gMinion now incorporates Azzazello's expanded coverage for additional summons from many megamods, and the code has been made extensible for future additions.

• Fixed bugs in component №3 related to the division into male/female character
• Now the quest about the magic lamp Aran will give in almost all cases:

  - a female character with an active romance - after completing the first romance quests, as before
  - male character - after the completion of the first quest of Aran and the expiration of two days

• Fixed a bug that appeared in version 3.0 when installing the first component on BGT (the function file was rolled back to an earlier version until the problem was fixed)

Before solving the problem with the new version of the function, I returned the old version of this file so that no one had installation errors.

Many thanks!) We will try to find the cause of the error!

Ah, thanks for clarification. I have BGT, if you tell me what you want to try I can test the install, too.

Thank you! If you can, please check if the first component of the mod in the latest version 3.0 is installed on the BGT without errors? TotoR wrote the error log above. It looks like it's related to Vlad's VCv21 mod, not BGT, but I'm not sure.

43 minutes ago, TotoR said:

Austin asks to test with HTaM before BGT to investigate incompatibilities, and in conclusion, there is no incompatibilities between HTaM and BGT but with VCv21 and HTaM.

Exactly. Because I cannot find the cause of this error, I have HTaM installed along with the Xan BG2 mod without problems (both on the EE version and on the classic version). But I don't have BGT and I don't have Vlad's mod, which is present in the log above. So I cannot verify this myself.

Something strange append during my mega mod installation,  and "Component 1. Interjections & Mini-quests" fails to install (this bug was not present in the previous version) :

Hello! Please try to install the mod before installing BGT. Judging by the log, you first installed BGT, and only then HTaM? In this case, the reason may be this.

Is EET (or lack of EET support) for at least some of the mods at fault?

On EET, the mod worked fine - at least no one wrote about errors. What was written above appears only on the BGT.

Hello! Thanks, this is weird. The error occurs with the O#XANJ.d file from the "Xan BG2" mod - where the function is compiled for the dialogs of all NPCs in Spellhold, but now I installed Xan mod and then HTaM mod on EE version - and there is no such error. I will try to find the reason. 

UPD: on the "classic" version, I also do not have such an error, everything is well installed. Very strange. This means that the cause of the problem is definitely in some other mods or is it that you have BGT . Unfortunately, I do not have BGT and therefore cannot reproduce this error. I'll ask tipun (the author of this function in the first component) - maybe he can figure out the reason.

Mod has been updated to version 3.0!!!
Now the English version is completely ready, the texts have been proofread! If someone finds inaccuracies in the texts that could have been missed, please let us know!

Changelog:

• All bugs found by testers have been fixed!

• English translation was proofread (thanks contralexical and Fishmalk_1)

• fixed properties of some items (thanks TotoR)

• function code from tipun (in the first component of the mod) was improved. Now in Spellhold, when party members speak out about the transformation of the protagonist into the Slayer, all lines will appear (previously, if some NPC had more than one phrase, then only the first one could be displayed)

"BG1 NPC in BG2" mod
(Author: Smiling Imp, additions - Austin)

This mod adds the majority of NPCs from BG1 into BG2 SoA&ToB. They have new banters and interjections and a few of them have encounters and quests as well. The mod is broken down into different components, allowing for easy mixing and matching with other mods that may also add NPCs from BG1.

Additionally, you will be able to visit a new city area, the luxurious Water Gardens, where all the rich and famous of Athkatla go to unwind.

The mod is compatible with BG2, BG2: EE and EET.

Version 12.5 includes the following changes:

• Added an auction held at Lady Goldsword's mansion in Water Gardens, where players would have a one time chance to land precious artifacts for himself and his companions (idea by Smiling Imp, texts by Jericho2, proofread by Sarevok57, coding by Austin). In total, 11 sketches were written, mostly humorous, in the style of the original mod - a total of almost 1000 new lines! The auction will become available after Lady Goldsword's main quest is completed and after that, 500 seconds of real time will elapse. Every day there will be new scenes, if the player has the required amount of money, and for some scenes, you also need to have certain NPCs in the group - Minsc, Korgan, HaerDalis, etc. If you have Minsc in the group, you will be able to get the legendary platinum pantaloons, and many nobles throughout the city will comment on this (in the Water Gardens area, the Government area and the Bridge area). And if these pantaloons remain with you until the end of the game, then in the chapter 6 in Athkatla you will find an additional small scene.
• Fixed item descriptions in Deekin's shop, edits by Ulpian
• Correction of "Usability" parameters for druid/shaman-related scimitars and axes on the EE version (thanks tipun)
• Now the sound files will not be installed all together as a separate component, but for each of the NPCs separately and automatically.
• The installation code has been improved to avoid bugs in the event that the components were installed out of order (for example, first Shar-Teel was installed, and then Water Gardens - earlier in this case, some of the dialogs could be removed)

Reply from Lumorus (Link) :

With regard to the Korgan quest, he wrote:

I'd be happy if you'd have an eye on that thread as well, as I will stop quoting and passing on info for now. At the moment, we ware trying to solve why Lumorus still has problems to install component 3. It worked fine when I installed v2.8.

Many thanks! I'll try to check this thread, okay!

As for the bug with Korgan, I have not yet found the reason, but I will look again. It is important to use the latest version, since I have fixed several bugs with these Korgan's dialogs since version 2.4 (therefore, most likely, the cause of the bug has already been fixed and therefore it does not repeat itself).

Mod updated, new version 2.9!

• Fixed a bug with Edwin's dialogue in the Underdark. Thanks to Aria for the bug report!

Hi @Austin, Lumorus from Kerzenburgforum is playing your mod and wrote down his findings here. He is using v2.3.

Hello again! I checked what was written above and fixed the bugs!  

Please thank Lumorus for me! And thank you very much too!

1) In the third component, the addition of the dir.ids file was not provided, as in the first two components. But at the same time, in one of the scripts there was an indication of the direction in the form of a letter designation. Therefore, it was installed on the BGT with an error. Now there should be no error (since version 2.8)

2) The problem with stuttering in a banter between Imoen and Anomen in ToB was caused by the fact that this banter should have been triggered only if Anomen is chaotic-neutral in nature and there is no active romance between Anomen and the player. The dialog file contained the necessary checks, but I forgot to add them in the script. As a result, the script tried to start a dialog, but no checks were performed in the d-file. Fixed! 
I also added checks for the presence of Imoen in the party and her status (earlier I forgot to include them in the script and they were only in d-file)

3) Regarding the third problem, I do not see an error in the files - above I wrote what conditions must be met to start this dialog. Perhaps the tester had a dialogue with the Jackal earlier? In this case, Korgan will not talk about debt, and then the reason may be this.

New version 2.8 released!

Many thanks! I'll watch it tomorrow!

I will add that for testing it is recommended to use the latest version (2.7), as it fixes several problems that were in earlier versions.

Regarding the conversation with Korgan, I have provided two options for starting a dialogue about his duty:
1) If there has not been a conversation with Madeen yet, then Korgan will talk about the debt two days after completing the quest with Kaza's book (simultaneously with the conversation about Madeen)
2) If the player has already spoken with Madeen and Tolgerias, then Korgan will start talking about debt after two days have passed after Kaza's book is found. Here are all the conditions for starting a conversation:

GlobalTimerExpired ("KorganContract", "GLOBAL")
Global ("ANkors", "GLOBAL", 0)
OR (2)
! Global ("TalkedToMadeen", "GLOBAL", 0)
! Global ("TalkedToTolgerias", "GLOBAL", 0)
Global ("KorMentionedContract", "LOCALS", 0)
AreaType (OUTDOOR)
! AreaCheck ("AR0406")
See (Player1)
CombatCounter (0)

I will also add that this branch of quests (and this dialogue of Korgan) will not start if the player has already met the half-orc Jackal and agreed to help him. In this case, a parallel quest branch will start and Korgan will not tell you about the debt.

I can't pack OSX package with weidu v247.

We do not have the opportunity to test the mod on OSX with WeiDU 247, since none of the testers have this system.

On 4/1/2021 at 1:00 PM, marcnivar said:

is the bug fix applicable for English version as well?

Yes, the fixes in the d-files apply to the English version as well! But it's better to wait for the official update.

UPD!

p_zombie now tested the mod on WeiDU 24700 - and now those errors are gone, everything works fine! The errors could not be reproduced. So you can safely update!

On 3/29/2021 at 6:37 PM, jastey said:

Why would that be a problem?

SOLVED! Explanation in the next post

I don't have IWD2 myself, but p_zombie and our other testers reported that the mod only works correctly on WeiDU 23600. According to them, on other versions (including version 24600), many dialogues and battles did not work as they should. For example, the dialogue with Nord, where he gives gifts, did not appear. It was the same with the dialogue with the druid about saving people, etc.
I quote a p_zombie: "It looks like the mod uses some features or functions of weidu, which were subsequently changed or removed. With various older versions of weidu, there were some similar problems in the game. With weidu 23600 it worked without problems. So I would recommended using only version 23600 with this mod to avoid problems in the game, and no other. I have not tested the mod on version 24700, but I do not think that the situation will change with it, since these problems were present on 24600 "
