- Imoen, Jaheira, Viconia, Shar-Teel, Edwin, Jaheira and Minsc are continuous characters and are smoothly transferred from BG1 to BG2 upon transition with all their accumulated experience and stats
Some tips:
- Since the quest of Shar-Teel starts in Copper's Coronet when Lord Firkraag recognises Shar-Teel as Angelo's daughter, if he he doesn't see Shar-Teel, the quest won't start. It means, you should let Shar-Teel to talk to Firkraag, or place her nearby during the first conversation with him, so he can see her. Otherwise, he will give you his normal quest to clear WH from orcs and then leave.
- Esmond is in the cave of Umar Hills. However, he will appear there with his beasts only when Durbin or Firkraag give you a hint.
- Enhanced Copper Coronet is an optional component and you may decide not to install it, but enhanced Firkraag's dungeon is *a must*. So prepare well before you go there.
- Leina's quest starts immediately once you approach the Copper Coronet. A messenger boy dressed in a yellow shirt standing on the roof of the Copper Coronet will summon you to the Five Flagons. There is no rush to visit the FF, so you may attend to many other quests in the meantime. The barkeep of the FF has an important favour to ask of the group.
- When the group enters Leina’s room, they see obvious signs of a struggle (Leina’s musical instruments are there too), a clear indication to the group that she did not leave voluntarily. You should pick up her instruments. If not, Leina will insist on returning to the tavern for them after her release. A search of the room reveals the crumpled roses and love letter, tossed carelessly into a corner.
- In order to have access to Vulova's estate and find Leina, you now can either join forces with Bodhi or choose the Third Path. If you choose the Third Path, you'll probably have no choice but kill her father. Be careful in talking to her after her release if you want to romance her during the game.
- Govan Duvaine can be found in the Copper Coronet drinking hard with his friends (he is sitting there).
- Before you enter the maze under Vulova's Estate, prepare well, as there will be no supplies and you cannot rest there. Have a good thief (Melora or Yoshi) with you to disarm multiple traps.
- Leina's pedant can be competed by combining her mother's and father's pedants in one. This is truly formidable item which only Leina can wear.
- Leina's flirts are many and available by clicking on her Talk icon. You'll have three different sets of flirts (one after another), dependent on the stage of your relationship with her. And there is an additional set of flirts, specific for Halruaa (if you have NeJ3 installed).
- There are many banters and interjections, means all the NPCs are very talkable. However, not all of them can initiate a dialogue or interject if they don't see each other or your protagonist (although I've tried to fix this by removing the See() trigger from all the dialogues). So, if you have a thief or mage with the invisibility option, please don't keep him/her invisible all the time, only when it's needed.
- The best weapon against doom guards and doom warriors is a crushing weapon, such as hammers, maces and flails, even non-magical.
- Romance with Leina is very easy to break. Please be very kind to her and very understanding, good listener. It means you should choose your responses wisely. Flirts will start only after the talk when she asks you to sit near her when the party rests. Sometimes, she asks you to sleep in a tavern tonight and until you do that, she may remain silent). It just happens that many love talks with Leina take place outdoor (forest, for example). So try to rest outdoor, not inside dungeons, particularly if you see no love talks for a long time. Also, listen to Leina when she asks you something. If she wants a bath tonight in some inn, choose any inn in Athkatla and stay one night there.
- Save, save and again save. If you feel opponents are tough, try different tactics. If they become easy, increase the difficultly level in your game settings. Anyway I would be happy to discuss the balance of the game.
BG2 Installation:
- Only over a clean original BG2 (SoA + ToB) + official ToB patch 26498
BGT Installation:
- Only over a clean original BG2 (SoA + ToB) + official ToB patch 26498 + BGT v1.18 (the last version)
- If you install NeJ3 next, you may install BG songs to restore the original BG songs. But when you move to BG2, you should uninstall the BG songs
If you're going to install NeJ3 next, please don't install the TS custom GUI (there will be a notice during the installation).
DownloadThose who want to play BGT with the compilation, please download the attached file Setup-VCv20.tp2 and replace the same file in the installation VCv20.exe of the mod.

[ANIMATIONS. Please don't install this component if you will install the Never Ending Journey.]
Not sure what does components really do. So Copper Cornet is slavery quest expanded... More description would be wise for all to avoid compatibility issues. Shar-Teel which component adds her?
///Edit: Just noticed I am using version 10 and the latest is 20.
Still waiting for independent version of TS because the one I have in VC10 is mixed with complication components.

Sorry, I don't support outdated versions. The current stable release is v2.0. If you want to play TS, you should install the compilation v2.0. You may skip all the components except BD and TS during the installation.
- Restored Twisted Rune Quest - adds connection between guarded compound and twisted rune.
- Restored Dak'kon's Blade - upgrades the blade with advancing levels
- Third Path - described in these forum boards, you may decide not to join Bodhi or Aran, but kill Aran and meet Saemon on your own
- Improved Character Minsc & Boo - Boo is a familiar of Minsc; Minsc has improved stats and friendship with Sime; Boo is not really a hamster... Very interesting plot if you have Sime and Minsc together in the group.
- Merchant League Bank - allows you to purchase vouchers in BG1 and sells them in BG2 without deprecation. That way you can transfer all your gold from BG1 to BG2 and start the BG2 as a millionaire.
- BGT Compatibility, Fixes and Improvements - small fixes introduced in the game for compatibility reasons between BGT and NeJ3. Improvements include smooth transition of NPCs from BG1 to BG2 within the general story, for example, or moving of all your gear from BG1 to BG2, or building Vampire Revenge sword etc. No need to detail all of these improvements.
- Improved Character Xan - stats and items
- Items Upgrade - Cromwell can now build 10 additional items from various components spread in the game, Cespenar - three additional items. They will tell you which components they need.

Thanks for reply.
Wiill BGT Compatibility, Fixes and Improvements work with mod BG1NPCs in BG2 Soa&ToB?
Vlad
Sep 30 2018, 07:34 PM
Maybe, if these mods don't override my files. But you better ask about compatibility with other mods at the SHS forum boards. I don't install and play the game with other mods.

As usual with Vlad - and Senka - a little masterpiece of narration and technical well designed, almost professional in many respects…
Yet I have a question for our favorite modders, you Vlad and Senka: do you play frequently tabletop RPGs ? specially D&D ?
Senka
Oct 3 2018, 07:25 AM
I am yes. I love to play on ADD, and now I try DnD 3.5
Vlad
Oct 3 2018, 06:16 PM
Thank you, christophe!
No, I've never played the table RPG games. I even have never seen them in my life. I played only Monopoly.

Well Vlad, you know what you’ve to do…it isn’t late to begin, and D&D5 is easy to learn and play, putting the stress on background. Buy the books and see by yourself - the 3 D&D5 basic books have been translated in French recently -.
Vlad
Oct 5 2018, 10:18 PM
I'll surely do when have a bit time
christophe
Oct 5 2018, 10:39 PM
even if you don’t play D&Dcurrently, well all these books will be nevertheless edifying readings for you, if you want my opinion. And perhaps it’ll give you some ideas…

Was wondering if Third Path is compatible with
http://www.gibberlings3.net/alternatives/ Alternatives since it gives similar path.
Vlad
Oct 6 2018, 01:15 AM
I really cannot answer questions about compatibility with other mods. I have never installed other mods and I will never install them. So better ask these questions at the G3 forum boards.

Because of glitch with missing equipment and character card descriptions in GemRB likely caused by EE mod installed. I need to start over with my mod install. It was likely caused by RoTerror-EE-master lol.
Anyway I am planning on installing megamods for my BGT:
Northern Tales of the Sword Coast
Dark Side of the Sword Coast
DarkHorizons
Secret of the Bone Hill
Dritz Saga
Check the Bodies
Fishing for Troubles
Region of Terror (pre-EE release)
Big Picture
I was wondering if I should stick with Tortured Souls v7.06 or TS_BPv6.10 which is designed for Big Picture.
I also can't seem to use VC20 installed but VC10 works okay. Wiedu says there is incompatible mod installed I wonder which. The Wiedu installer skips modules 1-4 to fifth Monk class revision. In my mod setup I have these installed listed in spoiler tag.

I'm having trouble installing the compilation over BGT. I have the GOG versions of BG1 and BG2, BGT 1.18 installed. The main component of the compilation fails with the following ERROR: error loading [BGTcomp/fAR0602.baf]. Sharteel component fails with ERROR: error loading [NeJE/BGTComp/sharteel/ar9400.bcs]. Everything else installs succesfully.
Vlad

Yes, it seems so. Unfortunately, because of this error, the overall installation has been interrupted and the compilation was not installed.
Please place the attached file in your installation file (VCv20.exe) and completely reinstall the game: SoA-ToB (GOG) + BGT + VC v2.0
Please let me know how it is now. We haven't played the BGT for quite some time.

Thank you for the help, Vlad. The new .tp2 helped, a bit (though the underscore in the name needs to be changed to a dash). Your compilation installs, but with warnings. All of them are about .dlg files. Most of the warnings are about .dlg files being too small, and thus not valid .dlg files. Others about not finding a coresponding action in action.ids, I think. Example warning:

I have no idea how serious these warning are, whether ultimately gamebreaking, or whether they can be ignored.
Vlad
Oct 9 2018, 08:06 PM
Leave them. These are original BG1 dialog files which have nothing to do with the game. There are about 10-15 blank dialog files and the one not fixed (by me) file NOBW8.DLG.
What actually happens is that I have launched the recompile for all in-game dialog, and fixed most of them, but I don't want to delete the blank files.
Regarding NOBW8.DLG, I have added its fix to my dlgfixes.d, but it will be implemented only in the next version.
Anyway, all these warning have no effect whatsoever on the installation and the game.
Enjoy it.

Hello Vlad,
Freshly registered, I intend to do another playthrough and I look forward to use your compilation and Neverending Journey.
I have questions about the latter.
I quote the BWP v18 pdf "By taking the portal immediately north of the starting area in
Irenicus' dungeon the party will travel through time and space to the town of Easthaven..."
Is it possible anyway to complete the Irenicus' dungeon and, juste before getting out to Athkatla, going back to the first level
of the dungeon and then play NEJ?
Did you keep Jeremy Soule's music in Icewind Dale?
Is it possible to add small portraits to your mods via Near Infinity tool?
And last, to your knowledge, are your compilation and NEJ not compatible with the "multiple strongholds" component of the tweak anthology (I made
a test install with all three mods and many others and found that I couldn't install this component any longer).
In any case, congratulations for your impressive work.

Please don't install that. I have introduced a lot of tweaks including my own version of multiple strongholds. The G3 tweaks maybe in conflict with my tweaks. Even if some components of the G3 tweaks are installed, they could override my files and later you'll start getting bugs in the game. So please don't install any tweak mods over my compilation. If you do so, you're on your own and don't expect that I'll be able to help you troubleshooting your game.

Please don't install "fixes", "tweaks" or anything like that. Everything that you need is already there. What is the particular "fix" are you looking for that I haven't implemented in the game?
QUOTE
And, last, does your version of multiple strongholds allows to have all of them of only a part?
My version allows to get two or three strongholds for dual or multiple classes. For example, if your PC is a fighter/mage, then he/she can get both De Arnise and Planar Sphere strongholds.
I don't see any sense to give the mage stronghold to a cleric or the bard stronghold to a ranger.

I do not look for a particular fix; I don't have enough knowledge of programming mysteries for that purpose.

Hi Vlad,
I'm wondering if you're interested in BGT bugs, if you guys are not playing anymore. The character files for Jaheira and Viconia are incorrect in BG1. I've been looking at them with NearInfinity and they're different from the higher level versions (which I assume would be found in the BG2 part). Jaheira has 1 more strength (16) and 1 more dexterity (18) than the BG2 version, which is nice. But her kit is set as Imoen's charming rogue, not priest of sylvanus. Viconia has generally worse stats (except for an 18 CON that seems useless on her), has an allignment of neutral evil (while the high level version has been changed to neutral), and does not have her darkcloak of Shar kit (she's a trueclass cleric). Due to her stats, she can't wear her unique amulet.
P.S. Where would I find a description of just what the priest of sylvanus kit does? Even if I fixed the above issues with Shadowkeeper, in game, Jaheira's class description is still fighter druid.
P.P.S. (not a bug report) the "tougher" black talon elites are ridiculous
Vlad
Oct 16 2018, 09:15 AM
PRIEST OF SYLVANUS: This druid kit was especially created for Jaheira to reflect her unique personality.
Advantages:
- She may gain the grand mastery in any missile weapons she can use including light crossbows.
- She gains +1 to hit, and +1 to damage with any missile weapon for every six levels of experience.
- She has access to three innate abilities, which become available from her innate slots as she advances levels:
1. Sylvanus Mental Agility. This spell creates the energetic channel between Jaheira and her god that quickens the thought processes allowing her to cast spells more quickly than normally. Jaheira gains this spell at levels:
Level 1, +1 to casting speed factor for 2 rounds,
Level 6, +2 to casting speed factor for 7 rounds,
Level 12, +3 to casting speed factor for 9 rounds,
Level 18, +4 to casting speed factor for 12 rounds.
2. Sylvanus Physical Agility. This spell quickens Jaheira's reflexes, enabling faster and more effective combat. Jaheira gains this spell at levels:
Level 3, +1 to attack speed factor and dexterity for 2 rounds,
Level 9, +2 to attack speed factor and +1 to dexterity for 7 rounds,
Level 15, +3 to attack speed factor and +1 to dexterity for 9 rounds,
Level 21, +4 to attack speed factor and +2 to dexterity for 11 rounds.
3. Sylvanus Shape Change. Jaheira gains this spell at levels 12th, 24th and 36th. With this spell, she is able to assume the form of a powerful creature (mind flayer, iron golem, greater wolfwere, earth elemental, fire elemental, or giant troll), and becomes the creature she wishes, gaining almost all of its abilities. Thus, she can change into a mind flayer to stun her opponents and then become an earth elemental to crush her foes. These creatures have whatever hit points Jaheira had at the time of the shape change. Each alteration in form requires only a second, and no system shock is incurred. Note that the although the assumed form has the combat characteristics of the real creature, it may not have all of its immunities.
Disadvantages:
- No regular shapeshifting abilities.
I'm attaching the amended BG1 CRE files for Jaheira, Viconia and Edwin:
[attachment=4365:BG1_CRE_files.zip]
Unzip directly into your override directory.
What's about Imoen? Is her kit okay in BG1?
Please continue reporting the issues in BG1 if any. I'll update the VC installation then with the amended files.
gigi_duru
Oct 16 2018, 03:55 PM
Hi Vlad,
There were no issues with Imoen, it's just that Jaheira was also using her kit. Thanks for the files (haven't recruited Edwin yet, so it should help there). I'll post any other issues I come across.
Edit: looked a bit at the files you posted. What's Viconia's alignment supposed to be? It's still neutral evil in the updated files, while the BG2 versions are true neutral. And I remember that her amulet remained unwearable, even after I edited her stats, until I changed her alignment to true neutral with Shadowkeeper.

Oct 16 2018, 06:10 PM
I have changed her alignment to true neutral. This also corresponds to her kit: Darkcloak of Shar.
Amulet should now be wearable.
Please unzip the attached three files directly into your override.
[attachment=4363:Viconia_BG1_CRE.zip]
To justify my decision, Viconia has never been a proper evil character. She's a drow, but a rogue drow. This is the excerpt from the description of her kit:
"...Unusual among other orders in the Church, the "Darkcloaks" were actually a compassionate group of oracles and caregivers who tended to those troubled souls who were emotionally damaged, often bringing the bliss of forgetfulness to soothe their pain. Their work did much to present the church in a positive light to the populace, though too often the reaction was still negative. This order included some of the few non-evil clerics in the Church, and Viconia is one of them."

because I don't see those components during the installation.
What have been done to Kachioko? If her wakizashi swords 3+ and 4+ weren't already overpowered her rings doubles spell amounts decreases casting time gives poison and magic protection. This begs for separate optional component that nerfs wakizashi swords and ring. There are folks out there who take seriously balance and will skip Tortured Souls if there aren't way to nerf overpowered items. Mods like uniqueartifacts, BP-Balancer and item revision can't handle everything custom made like her ring or sword.
Her old voiceover was cute and better suited in my taste that's how I remembered the NPC.
Vlad

It's all matter of personal tastes. We don't play the game with other mods except our owns. We like superheroes and their power items. This is what we like. If you don't like what we do, you don't play our mods. No need to come here and post your complaints.

Would taking the ring off her by using Shadow Keeper break the game? Are the wakizashis and the ring needed for the game/mod to function properly?
Vlad
Oct 20 2018, 08:22 PM
No items are needed for the plot. You may remove them with Near Infinity or similar editor without any problem, if that makes you feel better. But let me warn you that the items in VC+NeJ3 becomes more and more powerful with your progress in the game, as well as enemies, by the way. You'll feel the need for those swords and that ring very soon. But then you may add them back of course.

Another issue: I cannot advance to chapter 7 in BG1.
I fought through the Iron Throne building in Baldur's Gate city, and went to report to Duke Elthan at the Flaming Fist HQ. However, instead of starting chapter 7 and teleporting the party to Candlekeep, the game instead displays the story of Chapter 6 from BG2 (when you're leaving the Underdark) and then promptly crashes to desktop.
I reinstalled the game, and with just BGT installed, the transition works fine (leaving aside the issue that my party's characters and items are borked). But the moment I install the compilation, and load the save and talk to Duke Elthan, I get the BG2 chapter 6 cutscene, followed by a CTD. Both lines of dialogue produce the same effect.
gigi_duru
Oct 24 2018, 07:05 AM
With BGT and the compilation installed, I cannot start new BG2 or TOB games by importing a character. The game crashes to desktop in the character screen, before the import action is completed.
Also, when creating a new BG2 game, the game is stuck somewhere after the level up it grants. And the sequence might be out of order (though I'm not sure). The sequence is as follows: Irenicus makes his speech, Imoen releases you from the cage, Shar-Teel makes her speech, the game grants the level up, after which the UI and user input is disabled and I can't do anything except Alt-F4.
Starting a new TOB game works fine, as does importing a save game into TOB (I could import my entire BG1 party).
gigi_duru
Oct 24 2018, 05:36 PM
I've been looking into the issue with not being able to advance to BG1 chapter 7. What I did was to look at Eltan's DLG file (DELTAN.DLG) with NearInfinity, with and without the compilation installed. The action upon selecting the line that is supposed to send you to Candlekeep (response 21 or 22) has been changed.
Here is your version:
GiveGoldForce(2000)
SetGlobal("HelpEltan","GLOBAL",2)
GiveItem("BOOK68",LastTalkedToBy)
IncrementChapter("Chptxt6")
AddJournalEntry(15840,USER)

ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player2,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player3,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player4,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player5,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player6,LeaveAreaLUA("AR2626","TRDUKELT",[4714.2930],12))
DestroySelf()
And this is the BGT original:
GiveGoldForce(2000)
SetGlobal("HelpEltan","GLOBAL",2)
GiveItem("BOOK68",LastTalkedToBy)
IncrementChapter("Chptxt-6")
AddJournalEntry(75196,INFO)
ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUAPanic("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player1,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player2,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player3,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player4,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player5,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
ActionOverride(Player6,LeaveAreaLUA("AR6526","",[4714.2930],12))
DestroySelf()
When doing a compile check with your code, NearInfinity throws seven warning about unknown resource AR2626. Manually replacing your code with the BGT original (while VC is installed) seems to fix the problem. The chapter advances, and the party is teleported to Candlekeep, which does in fact have the area code of AR6526. However, since I am a total noob at Infinity Engine and BG scripting, I can't tell if the hack job I just pulled, didn't break something else.

The above mentioned bad code seems to come from VCv20\NeJE\bdash\new_fix\fixglobal.d at line 228

Yes, you are absolutely right. My bad! I've corrected the broken triggers and actions in the BG1 residue files from BG2 without having BGT installed.
Please place the attached fixglobal.d in that directory inside the archive. Everything should be fine now.

Thanks a lot for spotting this problem.

No problem.
May I ask why that particular dialogue replacement is needed? It looks to me like your replacing the BGT code with an exact copy of itself.
Also, something else I've been meaning to ask: should Jaheira be able to use light crossbows or not?
