Installing Tortured Souls in a BGT game with BWS Options

[tomkaz]

Hi All:

Previously, with BWS, I could install Tortured Souls into a BGT game when I used TSv705.exe and BPTOB174.exe. BWS now has defaulted to TSv706.exe and BPTOB175.exe. I can no longer install either of the latest versions.

I would like to play Tortured Souls again in my BGT game.

My questions:

Is Tortured Souls no longer compatible with a BGT game made with BWS?

Is Tortured Souls no longer compatible with a BGT game made with BWP?

If Tortured Souls is compatible with a BGT game, what are the minimum TSv706.exe and BPTOB175.exe components that must be used?


I tried to get help from SHS and BWS, but no one has responded to my posts. So I guess no one is playing this mod anymore. It is a great mod so I cannot believe this is the case.

I would appreciate any suggestions or help to incorporate Tortured Souls into my BGT game.

Thanks for any help,

Tom

Well should you know, the TS was NEVER a truly integrated completely into the BWS installs.
There was a variant of it in the past, it was the TS-BP v6.10 which is a totally unofficial offshoot of the actual mod. This was recently then switched to the actual TS mod.

Over the years Vlad has made multiple Baldurdash Fixpack-weidu, NeJ and TS releases. One problem being that there was not really good communication between "us" and Vlad. And that's not really anyone fault... or if it is, well, it's in the past and NO one should harbor those things that long. As well, we are all complicit within it.

This made the BWS need to implement custom modification to the official releases and thus every version update there was, dropped the BWS's compatibility with it, until the BWS made an update. This resulted into making of a custom tool* that fix some of the compatibility wrecks that are the result. It needs to be ran to each update that then are pushed as the BWP Fixpack's mod updates. That would then fix the compatibility for a short period of time. Periodically. That and the link update and other factors.

The Vlad said recently, that Baldurdash Fixpack-weidu, NeJ and TS and Keldorn romance mod should be getting a release that combines them together, in the hopes to make them easily more compatible with things(AMONG other things). And he also took a look into few of the suggested edits to the files that the BWS has in it. And he has obviously been keeping his eye out on the recent moding routines...

*this tool also covers a lot more extended family of mods than just the few here.
