Maximum Carnivalage?

Haha, yes!

But then I went to the spider area near Larswood and Hairy Spiders from MiH spawned with these settings... holy mother of skittering GAME OVER screens I thought my over-wizarded party was just temporary to see some Xzar, Xan and Edwin banters (always played with good team), but I might just have to keep them all and add a couple more

Yes, I plan on adding more components to it. I have the Improved Copper Coronet and Improved Small Teeth Pass completed and queued up for the next release along with Improved Irenicus.

Cool! Any idea what you're eyeing next? Just curious

Could use a couple more, but it's looking good It's a random spawn on the Carnival area. The two NPCs are from a book from Versza mod, but I've banned it since, too cheesy for now. Maybe whip it out in the darkest hour.

(I do actually love it, I'm ever on a quest to find ways to make these games more difficult, but I've never seen this sort of glorious results before!)

I've prepared the files to be ready to use and easy enough to use, so I plopped a download link as well. It's just .bmp images to cut and paste, no smart installers as I am not familiar with those things

Well then, I suppose that might be something folks installing this mod on EE might want to know . I can't fix it on my own, cause I haven't the foggiest what can stay and what cannot. I also haven't the foggiest what is the purpose of that file in this mod.

I found a really rather weird interaction.

Haer'Dalis Romance mod makes it so the Wild Mage kit (and maybe another that was also irregular in original version) disappear from EEKeeper. The kit is present in the game and works just fine. Even if it's added to a multiclass character via EEKeeper by directing EEKeeper to draw files from a different installation. Very strange.

From my extra noob limited research, I'd saaaay... incompatibility with EET, where the ids for Wild Mage isn't listed in kits IDS (as it didn't used to be there), but now in EE it is... ?

I found ids.tpf file listing kits there, it's gotta be it. Though I don't know what exactly, given how, well, Wild Mage is here. Prolly some number or another.

I wonder why this file is even in this mod? Is it safe to take it out? It seems to have nothing to do with the character or dialogues, but everything to do with kits, and a bit about spells?

I commented out the two lines - Barbarian and Wildmage - in this section I pasted above, and the bug is gone. No idea about the consequences, but it seems so bizarre here, hmm.

Thank you @Sight, that's very helpful!

Heey, so I was looking through descriptions of mods on my list, and I saw in the Solaufein Rescue mod IA are mentioned. I found a readme for 6.0 on SHS saying it's the one compatible with EET, but the GitHub link there is dead and regular Download leads to version 5.1. Another Github says IA is being updated... and it's from 2019.

So I am lost - does this mod not exist anymore for EET? What happened?

Just upload the file to some service, Pastebin or some similar thing. And then link it, should work fine

Most tweaks yeah, I think aTweaks are the ones that say in readme to be after SCS, but definitely double check that.

For Tactics, all new-encounter components go before SCS, and edited-encounters after - like edited fights from vanilla game. That's my understanding.

You can probably link your debug here, no? So people in the know can easily grab it.

Well i've got butchery mod and tactic remix with atweak and cdtweak with worldmap , ascension , wheel, and etc.

In short a lot of mod and i think this is the main one i shoud talk about.

Don't know if it's got anything to do with your error, but both Tactics Remix and Butchery have components that have to go before SCS and components that have to go after SCS.

I also think aTweak states it wants to be installed after SCS - but I may be misremembering.

In current SCS, the difficulty fine-tuning is activated through a button in the options menu. That sets a variable, and then the global script summons an invisible creature to talk to you; the actual fine-tuning is done through the dialogue interface.

Oh, that's very cool! But at the same time, damn, I can't find it  
I'm using the Dragonspear UI, is it not compatible? Perhaps I should summon the creature via console if the button just sets up a variable

NVM I'm an idiot, I re-installed the UI as last to test something after SCS so of course it's broken. Disregard and thank you for the info

Basically, if you don't fix that typo, the improved scripting for druids won't work.

 

Oh no Typo must go! It seems there's a bracket missing, but it's an old report. Makes me wonder - is there a corrected branch of the mod somewhere perchance, made by someone capable of not messing up something else while attempting a fix? Or does everyone hunt the typos down on their own? 

I've test ran an EET install, and I don't have an innate-ability to adjust SCS settings. Does that mean something went wrong? Is it not supposed to be in innate abilities? Was it removed? Thanks for any info.

(installed with PI, testing on BG1 part)

Hey, so installing SCS I got these three error logs. From a noob evaluation, they struggled with patching some creatures? Parsing errors, not sure what those mean, but it says it stopped the installation at these points (didn't stop it in PI). No idea.

Warnings are different from errors! 

…Doesn’t change any facts, but when troubleshooting, clear terminology can be helpful. 

Fixed
But the log files are called "ERROR", set them straight as well!

Jokes aside, these pause installation, and with so many components (I got 47 of these error log files) potentially being unhappy about 1 spell, I thought I'd bring it up. Maybe it will help. No idea.

Was this the latest release, master branch, or other?

Master branch, I think... or maybe latest release and I got the master branch afterwards? Now I'm confused.

Hey, question! While installing this mod with EET, I got many tiny errors  warnings (1 per component).

"Processing DS file MIH_EQ/LIB/DS_PRIO_DISPEL.TPA...
Copying and patching 1 file ...
WARNING: no effects added to spwi613.spl"

I checked a few at random and it was always this particular spl. Would anyone know where these are coming from?

It seems to work! Thank you. I plonked it on top of everything right now just to check, I'll be back if it misbehaves again during proper re-install, but I doubt it, the plonk-test failed on the previous version

Hey, while installing the mod I've got a following error, referencing a file someone here had a different issue with earlier:

Also a problem with jtweaks component I care about having quite a bit :<

Hey, I've tried to install some mods with Project Infinity and currently having a problem with two of them - 1 component of EMAD (Promise of a Troll), and Sola Flirt Pack, EET compatible. Would someone perhaps know what's up?:

ProjectInfinity-WeiDU-Error-emad-1.log

ProjectInfinity-WeiDU-Error-rpgsolaflirtpack-0.log

Hey, so I've thought I'd make myself a portrait pack with MJ for shits and giggles and I'm happy to share it, if it suits your fancy It's a bit darker/more dramatically lit than the original style and since it was just a late night project it doesn't have an impressive stylistic consistency... but in end, it's all a matter of personal taste isn't it? Ah well, a fun curiosity in the worst case!

See if you can recognize everyone! I also added 2.5 modded characters, because I may use them this playthrough. Versza, Afaq, and Sola (he's a 0.5 cause still also vanilla).

Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13mn8GZVMMDn5zz6w_s_cw8OFbmHeIPit/view?usp=share_link

Actually, out of curiosity, which of the components do you plan to upgrade? I've browsed the old Tactics page and extracted these as encounters not yet present in the Remix, not present in SCS (Improved Bodhi), and not being AI improvements, which I think SCS handles, or creature improvements which other mods likely handle.


Improved TorGal and De'Arnisse Keep
Improved Sahuagin City
Improved Irenicus
Improved Ilyich (requires ToB)
Gebhard Blucher's Improved Mae'Var
Kensai Ryu's Improved Copper Coronet
Gebhard Blucher's Random City Encounters
Kensai Ryu's Random Wilderness Encounters
SimDing0's Improved Oasis (ToB Required)
Mike Barnes' Improved Small Teeth Pass (requires ToB)
Mike Barnes' Improved North Forest (requires ToB)
Mike Barnes' Improved Marching Mountains (requires ToB)
Tougher Druid Grove


Just makes me remember how much I loved and need the Tactics mod

Wonderful, thank you!
