Improved Anvil v5 + NeJ2 v6.9.4 Options

[baihbalm]

this thread is about the setup below, and it's compatibility, i'll be testing it out.

1) SoA + ToB + ToB patch

2) Baldurdash-WeiDU v1.64

3) NPC-WeiDu mods ->
A)Kivan
B)Kityanav6.4.4

4) Kit Mods ->
A)NPCKit v2 (Anomen) /
B)SP-Collection v7 (Sylvan Mystic) /

5) NeJ2 v6.9.1 + v6.9.4

6) Improved Anvil v5 (don’t install the mod until you put in all the fixes -> # 10)

7) Improved anvil fixes (do this before installing the mod)
A)-Download the dragring file and paste it into the "itm" folder (the "itm" folder is inside "ImprovedAnvil" folder in your main BG2 folder).
-Download the CCLER20B file and put it into "scripts" folder (the "scripts" folder is inside "ImprovedAnvil" folder in your main BG2 folder)
C)-Put MULTIG.d file into "dlg" folder (the "dlg" folder is inside "ImprovedAnvil" folder in your main BG2 folder).
-Put the dplayer3 file into your "override" folder (the override folder is inside the main BG2 folder)
D)-Download the S_fsdrag.baf file and rename it to S!fsdrag.baf (the underline has to be renamed to exclamation mark), then put the renamed file into "scripts" folder ("scripts" folder is inside "ImprovedAnvil" folder in your main BG2 folder).
E)-Put the two baf files-> AR4500.BAF & AR0334.baf into "BAF" folder (improved anvil folder).
- Put the spl file-> spwii01.spl into "spl" folder. (I had a bit of trouble downloading this one, so I just used 'saved target as' -> hope that works)

8) install Improved anvil

9) “Four”-v3 (mod for improved anvil)

Oh, and do you think "Tower of Deception" would be compatible with this setup?
- what i've heard is that these parts of the mod are compatible
~TOD/SETUP-TOD.TP2~ #0 #0 // Tower Of Deception Mod (Requires Throne Of Bhaal)
~TOD/SETUP-TOD.TP2~ #0 #1 // Improved Astral Shard Guardian
~TOD/SETUP-TOD.TP2~ #0 #2 // Encounter with Ustrain

Yes, Tower of Deception is compatible with Improved Anvil. The last component of the mod (= Encounter with Ustrain) is actually created by me (except its dialogue lines and the graphics art). It automatically checks whether IA is also installed and will make the final battle much more interesting using IA's resources and scripts.

Install Tower of Deception (all three components) before IA. It means that if you want to add it, you should uninstall The Four and IA, install Tower of Deception, and then install IA and The Four again (and start a new game).

As for Dungeon Crawl, I've read somewhere that the mod adds some powerful (and easy to find) items to the game (ex: an item which grants spell casting speed bonus similar to Robe of Vecna). Just make sure to sell those items rather than using them.

Also:

3) 1pp flaming swords (note sure if this is compatible)

4A) Dungeon Crawl v 3

4B) RR -> Do Not Use ->
- Bard kit revisions
- Bard High Level Ability revisions
- Thief kit revisions

5) NPC-WeiDu mods ->
A)Kivan
B)Kityanav6.4.4

I don't know anything about (3).

I guess Vlad will not support your installation and will not provide technical support if you use (4A), (4B) and (5). IA has no problem with these mods (except their powerful items which should not be used by you during the game), but I'm not sure whether Vlad will offer technical support if you use them.

6) Kit Mods ->
A)NPCKit v2 (Anomen) /
B)Sword and Fist (DuskBlade Kit) /
C)SP-Collection v7 (Sylvan Mystic) /

Sorry for not noticing these things the first time you wrote them in your list. The Duskblade kit is incompatible with IA. The other two are probably technically compatible, but conceptually problematic. I strongly recommend not to use them.
