I'm not Wheels' author, that would be @DavidW. Back then I only got permission to make one update to fix one issue, an incompatibility with the new WeiDU version, which is in 8.5 (otherwise you wouldn't have been able to install it). I'm not touching it any further, so there was no need to keep that fork up.
I know of the Wheels/Ascension issue (kinda hard not to, it keeps popping up everywhere) but I have no idea what causes it or how to fix it. I never could trigger it in my own non-Ascension games no matter which path I took, which leads me to think it's a bad interaction between Wheels and Ascension, not a bug specific to Wheels.
Ok, thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, I suspect it will be some time before David touches Wheels again with everything else on his plate. Until then, I'll try and see if I can provide some useful bug reports for anything I run into. I fear it will be difficult however, given the maze of dialogues, trigger, and variables that is Ascension + Wheels.
Even with just a superficial scan in Near Infinity I'm already seeing a response trigger in ABAZIGAL.DLG referencing a script that doesn't exist.

I just stumbled upon this forum. I have Ascension 2.0.23 and Wheels 8.5 installed for BGT. Did your fixes ever make it into the official version?
I noticed your fork is no longer up.
I dread trying to debug this mod myself, as there are still reports of major issues from what I can see.
If you have a working fork, I'd be delighted.

I'm getting this when trying to install. Version is the latest from Git. I'm on original BGT. WeiDU v249 (Legacy)

Can I pick your brain a bit more on this?
As far as I understand, you can automate your responses to prompts in a text file like this...
weidu-setup-mod.exe < mod_install.txtIn the text file you list out the responses in order, correct? For example:
1 // Response to choose English language i // Response to install the main component 2 // Response to select the second option for the additional featureSo in the example I gave:
Which travel times do you want? 1. Original Travel Times and Area Visibility 2. Revised Travel Times and Area Visibility. PLEASE ENTER 1 OR 2
I'd order the responses so that it would input 1 or 2 at this juncture?

Some time ago I made a comment about retaining the original prices on items because IR has its balance designed around BG2 and not BGT.
If you ever want to create a .ini option so others can have this, here is the relevant code:
(Credit to jmerry for help on this)
This first block will have to go before any items are copied over. All you have to do is adjust some of the paths.
Spoiler// Create a table with all item resource names in the 1st column and their prices in the 2nd <<<<<<<<.../WStweaks-inline/pricelist.2da >>>>>>>> MKDIR ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks~ COPY ~.../WStweaks-inline/pricelist.2da~ ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks~ OUTER_SPRINT data ~~ COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP - ~.*\.itm~ nowhere PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x71) THEN BEGIN READ_LONG 0x34 itemprice SPRINT data ~%data%%SOURCE_RES%%TAB%%itemprice%%WNL%~ END APPEND_OUTER ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks/pricelist.2da~ ~%data%~
This second block goes after all the copies are made, so at or near the end of the main component.
Spoiler// Read the data in from pricelist.2da and change item prices back to their original values COPY ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks/pricelist.2da~ ~override~ READ_2DA_ENTRIES_NOW ~pricelist~ 2 BUT_ONLY OUTER_FOR (row = 0; row < pricelist; ++row) BEGIN OUTER_SPRINT FileID $pricelist(~%row%~ ~0~) COPY_EXISTING ~%FileID%.itm~ ~override~ PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x71) BEGIN SET newprice = $pricelist(~%row%~ ~1~) PATCH_IF (newprice > "-1") BEGIN WRITE_LONG 0x34 newprice END END BUT_ONLY IF_EXISTS END
Once again, make sure the paths are correct.

plus a trip to hell going through a couple dozen fiends
I always thought this was a poor choice by Beamdog. This is supposed to be the big finale in SOA.
IMO what the series should have gotten was a good prequal, following the adventures of Gorion and his harper allies, culminating in their discovery of the Temple of Bhaal. This would give more meaning and context to the start of your adventure in BG1.
Personally, I've never been a big fan of SoD. It was a one and done for me, and I prefer BioWare's intended vision. I still play the originals as a result. Among other reasons.

Sorry if this seems rather pedantic, but I just wanted to clarify something.
I was looking at Leonardo Watson's Big World Project mod install guide, which he recently updated, when I came upon this:
He has component 210, 300, and 301 of 1pp listed to be installed immediately after Item Revisions (main).
This departs somewhat from your recommended install order.

Looking at the Revised Warrior HLAs component, something is missing. What about War Cry?
That crummy HLA that gives fighter's the ability to cast a level 2 wizard spell...
I think it could use some love.
War Cry
With a War Cry, the warrior emits a powerful and frightening yell that will leave all opponents in a 30' radius absolutely shaken, inflicting a -2 penalty to THAC0, damage, and AC with no save. In addition, enemies must make a save vs. spell or flee in terror. The effects last for 1 turn.

Spoiler@9000=~Hardiness~
@9001=~Hardiness
Calling upon hidden reserves of strength during times of danger, a warrior can use the Hardiness ability to gain 25% resistance to all forms of damage. The ability lasts for 1 round per 2 levels.~
@9002 = ~Whirlwind Attack~
@9003 = ~Whirlwind Attack
This ability allows the warrior to unleash a flurry of super-fast blows. For 2 rounds, movement and attack rate are doubled, but all attacks are made with a -4 penalty to hit and damage rolls.~
@9004 = ~Greater Whirlwind Attack~
@9005 = ~Greater Whirlwind Attack
A more powerful version of the Whirlwind Attack, Greater Whirlwind gives the fighter the same bonuses without penalties.Requires: Whirlwind Attack~
@9006 = ~War Cry~
@9007 = ~War Cry
With a War Cry, the warrior emits a powerful and frightening yell that will leave all opponents in a 30' radius absolutely shaken, inflicting a -2 penalty to THAC0, damage, and AC with no save. In addition, enemies must make a save vs. spell or flee in terror. The effects last for 1 turn.~Of course, like any innate ability, it ignores MR. I thought about going -4, but I think the penalties are balanced. Let me know what you think.

I'm trying to create this component that enhances some of the cutscenes in BGT
In the cutscene battle between Gorion and Sarevok I'd like to add some specific music. This is a little bit more involved than I thought.
I'm going to use PlaySong() in the cutscene script.
Take a look at what I have so far:
Spoiler//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// BEGIN ~BGT chapter cutscene improvements~ DESIGNATED 210 REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME_IS ~bgt~ "This component requires Baldur's Gate Trilogy" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Create "Gorion's Battle" .mus file to be referenced in cutscene ch1cut04.bcs <<<<<<<<.../WStweaks-inline/ws#ch1.mus Bl2 17 a1 a2 a3 a4 b1 b2 b3 b4 c1 c2 c3 c4 d1 d2 e1 f1 f2 >>>>>>>> MKDIR ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks~ COPY ~.../WStweaks-inline/ws#ch1.mus~ ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks~ // Write ws#ch1.mus into songlist.2da and copy it into the music directory ADD_MUSIC ? // Add new song to cutscene and smoothen transitions COPY_EXISTING ~ch1cut04.bcs~ ~override~ DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH BEGIN REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~CutSceneId("Gorion")~ ~CutSceneId("Gorion") PlaySong(?)~ REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",0)~ ~SetGlobal("Chapter","GLOBAL",0) FadeToColor([40.0],0) Wait(4)~ REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~AddJournalEntry(75220,INFO)~ ~AddJournalEntry(75220,INFO) FadeFromColor([40.0],0)~ END BUT_ONLY1. Create a .mus file that will be used. I'll have to tweak the above to fit the cutscene better once I get everything else working.
2. Use ADD_MUSIC to write ws#ch1.mus into songlist.2da and copy it into music folder.
Embarrassingly, I'm having trouble writing this. It needs to copy it from weidu_external/data/WStweaks.3. Using PlaySong() I need to know what row in songlist.2da the song will be written to. I hope I can control this with ADD_MUSIC? Else I'll probably have to do some READ_2DA nonsense.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: Ok, I've figured out "ADD_MUSIC ~ws#ch1~ ~weidu_external/data/WStweaks/ws#ch1.mus~"
It writes it at the bottom of songlist.2da
Now I just need to do the 2DA magic so it writes in the row % into PlaySong(%%)

As for targeting an enemy ... actions with no valid target shouldn't crash anything. Most likely, they just won't be executed. At worst, they might prevent any later actions in the same block from being executed. Still, you should include some form of "there's an enemy nearby" in the trigger conditions for a block like this that targets an enemy.
Thanks for the insight. I was looking at the IESDP page when I found ApplySpell, but I somehow glossed over that ApplySpell uses minimum caster level. I was tired when looking at this. I definitely want to stick with ReallyForceSpell here. I just wasn't sure if I had it nested properly with the (). Of course, an example is given right there on the page.

Good to know. I just checked the compiled IF blocks for chain contingencies on the my game, and they have detection and range triggers so it should be fine.

SPPR409.SPL (Death Ward) contains opcode (61) which crashes the game. I'm assuming this is some leftover from the changes you made to Death Ward on Sep 2, 2023.
SCS users beware, this will make any cleric that pre-buffs with this spell crash your game.
Edit: I just realized that opcode (61) is used in the EE editions. This is a compatibility issue with the originals.

Just include them yourself. There’s not really much advantage adding them to WEIDU, and Wisp is busy enough as it is without adding to his admin burden.
That's fair,
I don't really know what kind of work adding these macros entails, but I just figured it'd be easier for people to find these things down the road if they were built in. I'm always looking in the WeiDU documentation. I didn't even know that CamDawg had written these until I scrounged around in this thread. I guess that's on me.
On a different note, is Wisp pretty much the sole maintainer of WeiDU these days? Sure looks like it from the commits on Git.

Ok, I'm going to chime in here. You are using the Big World Setup tool correct? The long since deprecated BWS tool?
This is going to get you into big trouble with a mega mod install.
Unless you absolutely know what you're doing I suggest using something modern like AL|EN's Project Infinity. If your intimidated by install order you can always reference morpheus562's Install-Order-List-Repository, or I can provide you with my own log since I also play the originals with BGT.
Our diligent G3 residents here were able to correctly guess your first issue, even without being supplied your WeiDU log, but you likely have a host of problems coming your way if you used BWS.
