compatibility, simple questions Options

[lroumen]

Hello everyone.


I played through IA a year ago I think, and this summer I'm going to give it another shot with the newly added challenges and items. I still have a week or two before my character is done in BG1 and then I'll port it to BG2. I'm playing a Ranger Stalker and I would like to have the more logical effects of the ranger class enabled reputation-wise. It would therefore be nice if I could enhance IA with the Virtue Mod. Neither Virtue nor IA mention an incompatibility towards one another (neither mention the other anywhere that I could find), but I'm of course wary on mixing mods of different sources. Weird things may happen...


My question is hence: Has anyone played with both mods and has anyone come across some incompatibilities or oddities?

The problem is also the order of installation, Virtue states that it should be installed last, but so does IA. I think the proper order would be Virtue - IA, but since Virtue is Weidu it might as well be better if I went with IA-Virtue instead.


Lastly, I'm interested in adding some other minor mods and I'll just list them to ask whether these too have some disparities with IA:
- the new Rogue Rebalancing
- Exnem's Vault
- Tower of Deception

Cheers

Does anyone know which component of BG2 Tweakpack is incompatible? I searched for old posts on the subject but couldn't find any details. With the number of components I'm not surprised that something doesn't work right, but I'd expect that other parts would still work ok.

Edit: I just read Sikret's comments in the Mods thread and saw that he doesn't know either what works in the BG2Tweakpack and what doesn't. You may want to try experimenting a little and if you can find anything that definately works, and others that definately don't I'm sure lots of others would want to know your results. A great place to start would be the Ease of Use components that Sikret recommends for use with IA, since Ease of Use was depreciated into the BG2TweakPack a while back with Wes's permission and the BG2Tweakpack is the currently supported edition.

As for Virtue, last I checked it should still work ok even if installed after IA or other content mods, though it may not be applied uniformly to all mod content as certain situations won't be taken into account. I seem to remember Littiz needing to do some special work to make the Sword Angel kit to use Virtue if installed, but it was more of a "use Virtue if installed, else use rep system" type of a deal.
