Just tried to install Tome and Blood on a clean BGEE 2.0 and got numerous errors and a "installed with warning".
The components that installed: Core Revisions, Allow Gnome Sorcerers, Allow Elves and Half-Elves to Specialize in Any School, Allow Mages and Sorcerers to Become Proficient in Clubs and Crossbows, Armored Casting, Metamagic and Spell Battles, Cantrips
The components that did not install due to errors: New Class Magus, New Kits Bloodline Sorcerers, New Kits Dragon Disciples, Specialist Mages Overhaul, Xan Bladesinger, Dynaheir Hathran
The component that installed with warnings: Spell Tweaks
Here are the error messages of the components that didn't install...
New Class: Magus ERROR: Failure("cannot set column-wise to 255TWEAP.2DA")
New Kits: Bloodline Sorcerers ERROR: Failure("cannot set column-wise to 255TWEAP.2DA")
New Kits: Dragon Disciples ERROR: Failure("cannot set column-wise to 255TWEAP.2DA")
Specialist Mages Overhaul ERROR: Failure("cannot set column-wise to 255TWEAP.2DA")
@Swifty_Magee , thank you for posting this. You have confirmed my suspicion that the new update broke kit installation. I'm sure this will be fixed in a timely way, probably by updates to the add_kit function in WeiDU and an update to the EE kit library.
@Aquadrizzt , glad I could help, and I hope it gets resolved soon. I stopped the new game I was playing to install Tome and Blood because I love it so much! Can't seem to play nowadays without the Magus class.
I assume you already know this, but just in case you didn't. The mod is not fully compatible with the new update to BG:EE. There are certain aspects that don't install, such as Magus. As I was very much enjoying your mod up until today, I would be eternally grateful if you resolved this issue. I would however wait for the next update, since I'm betting there will be a bug-fixing update soon to fix the bugs caused by the new update.
@AllandNot , I am aware of the issues that the most recent patch introduced. I am waiting for an updated release of WeiDu that can handle the new stuff that Siege of Dragonspear introduced.
@Dark_Ansem , it's been talked about before... I haven't really had much development time for Tome and Blood recently, so I haven't been adding new stuff for the most part.
I'm just trying to fix the Tome and Blood kit problem on my end. I've tried adding this line of text near the top of the tome and blood tp2 file...
ALWAYS ACTION_IF GAME_IS ~bgee~ BEGIN COPY ~mymod/directory/25stweap_bg2.2da~ ~override/25stweap.2da~ END END
...but I get errors when installing. I've placed the 25stweap.2da file from the Faith and Powers beta in my BGEE override folder, but that hasn't helped. I'm thinking I'm supposed to change the "mymod/directory/25stweap_bg2.2da" line to something else, but I'm not quite sure what I should change it to, and if I need to modify any other section of text as well.
@Aquadrizzt , thanks for the quick response, but that doesn't seem to work. Anytime I try to install Tome and Blood with the additional tp2 text I get an error as soon as I start the installation:
In state 1020, I expected one of these tokens: [0] EOF [47] BEGIN [210] LANGUAGE Parse error (state 1020) at ALWAYS

FATAL ERROR: Parsing.Parse_error
It seems like just adding the "Always" lines of text in the tp2 is enough for the installation to error out.
@subtledoctor , thanks for the information! After deleting the "Always" block of text in the tp2, the kits installed fine as long as the 25stweap.2da file from FnP was in the override folder. Just for clarification, I'm not installing the mods to Siege of Dragonspear as I don't have that yet...just using Baldur's Gate EE with the 2.0 patch.
The only component that didn't install due to errors was "Xan: Bladesinger". It came back with the following error:
@AllandNot , to get Tome and Blood working on BGEE with the 2.0 patch, try using the 25stweap.2da file I've uploaded. Just extract the 25stweap file into your override folder, then install Tome and Blood. The kits should install correctly after doing this. The only thing that still won't install is the Xan: Bladesinger component.
Just installed Siege of Dragonspear and encountered a problem: when trying to choose the Magus class, incorrect text appears during character creation. The Magus and Oracles options have been replaced with the words "Any More?" and "We'll be in a better position to deal with the crusade when the forces here unite with those at the flaming fist camp.", respectively.
On the right-hand side, where it usually displays a description of the class, there is incorrect text as well. For "Any More?", the description says "Kharm". For "We'll be...", it says "What should concern you is how I'm going to leave. Lower the drawbridge now."
I'd like to note that none of these errors occurred before I installed SoD. When I successfully installed Tome and Blood for BGEE 2.0, I could choose the Magus or Oracles classes, and they showed the correct text.
So right now, with a bit of work you can get Tome and Blood to install, but there will be obvious problems when trying to play one of the kits. Especially if you have Siege of Dragonspear installed. Maybe we will indeed have to wait for the next version of WeiDU or the next version of the mod to play it correctly.
UPDATE: It seems like this may be happening to all the custom kits. I also installed @subtledoctor mods Might and Guile and Scales of Balance, and every custom kit entry that was installed by Might and Guile has borked listings and descriptions. Again, all this happened as soon as I installed SoD...before installing the expansion, the kits seemed fine.
@Swifty_Magee , yeah, Siege of Dragonspear has broken a lot of things, and most of us kit modders are waiting on an update to WeiDu and the EE Kit Library to update our mods. Give it some time.
@Aquadrizzt Yeah, I've been reading around the forums about the kit issues, but I just thought it was weird that everything seemed to work fine until you actually install SoD. I figured the main problems only came with the 2.0 patch changes; didn't realize that you can run BGEE 2.0 fine with custom content until you add the DLC. Strange how a zip file can screw everything up.
Oh well...I guess you already knew about the problems, but I just wanted to do my mod tester duties and report anything I found.
Hello people, I wonder if you can help me. I tried to install v0.62 with a medium size big world setup install. It installed the first few components fine, but the specialist mages overhaul did not work. It was looking for this file: SPWI122.spl Additional information (unfortunately the debug file was lost in my tinkering): Not EE, regular BG and BG2 purchased from GoG, installed with GoG Galaxy. BWS recommended install, + Imoen Romance and Multistronghold
Please help, I'm dying to play the game again with a sorc that is not boring. If this info is not enough to find the problem, I can make a proper debug report in a few days, but I thought maybe I get lucky and someone will say "oh you can solve that by editing this and this line in this and this file".
No worries, I figured it was vague enough not to help much. I was only hoping that it was a known issue, like "oh yeah, there is a typo and actually it wants spwi112" which was actually present in the mod's folder. Anyway, I know you would need the debug file and the list of stuff I would have wanted to install. I cannot try a new install for a few days because I am at a conference and in a crappy hotel with crappy internet. I will upload it when I have it.
About the BWS, though, isn't the main shtick of the installer that it checks for dependencies and conflicts? Or is it common knowledge that it does not work that well? In my own defense, I did not install any of the big mods like TDD or Check the bodies, I know those are just asking for trouble, especially more than one. By BWS standards I think it was quite a modest installation.
So, in any case, I will report back in a few days with the additional information. Or who knows, maybe that time it will run without problems
The version of Tome and Blood currently out was my first attempt at having WeiDu do on the fly stuff instead of hard-coded stuff. I'll refine the things as I get better I'm sure. In the meantime, I would say subtledoctor has it right (i.e. remove spells that are giving you grief from the relevant spell arrays.)
Also, my mods are seldom tested with the vanilla games, so caveat emptor if you use it on a vanilla BG2 game.
I checked in the tome and blood manual, and it even says it is explicitly designed to work with the EE, and it is heavily dependent on the added functionality. Now my beef is with BWS, that offered it up for an "old version" BG2 install.
Aquadrizzt, if I get it to install w/o warning, do you think it should work? Or will I still need to live in fear of having a game-breaking bug 100 hours in? In that case I might reluctantly go for an EE install.
Alright. @Aquadrizzt, your mod convinced me to actually use EE instead of the old versions. I could manage to install most stuff (except Xan as Bladeslinger, but meh...). However, there is one weird thing. Neera joins up with me in Beregost, but seems to have 11 first level slots, which are filled with random spells like Black Blade of Disaster and the like. They also show up in her spellbook as level 1 for some reason, but they say level 8 and such in the spell description. Does not look like how it should be. Any comments on the matter? Weidu log is attached. The setup debug is too big to attach, but here is a link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5z5o09t7vr1qlst/Setup-TomeAndBlood.debug?dl=0
Edit:Encountered the same issue with Valerie. She also has Black Blade, Power Word Weaken and a few such spells in her spellbook, and she has 9 sorcerer castings at first level. Strange. My main is also a sorc, but for her the progression looks normal. No out of place spells, and only four spells on the first level.
Second edit: Edwin also has the exact same extra spells, and 12 slots.

That should get it to work in SoD while everyone waits for a WeiDu fix.

The "Dynaheir: Hathran" component installed correctly, however.
Also, the component "Spell Tweaks (by Subtledoctor)" installed with warnings, but I think that's okay with that particular component.
On the right-hand side, where it usually displays a description of the class, there is incorrect text as well. For "Any More?", the description says "Kharm". For "We'll be...", it says "What should concern you is how I'm going to leave. Lower the drawbridge now."

Edit: By the way, according to this forum ( http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=10346 ) SPWI122 is friggin' Magic Missile
Do you know if it stalled while installing item creation? That file 'feels'familiar
Edit.. Oh. Well,, can you remember what component was being installed?
Also, my mods are seldom tested with the vanilla games, so caveat emptor if you use it on a vanilla BG2 game.
BTW, will try it out with removing the lines (in the tpa-s there are only question marks in the line of 122), I will report if and when I succeed.
