    Are you running version dsotscv1.02? Also make sure you start a new game after any re-installing.

    Yes, and I have decided to start again from scratch
    So, is there a list anywhere of the Tweaks, Unfinished Business, DSotSC, NTotSC, and any other mods that I should install, and the correct order to install them?

    OK, much greater success this run (doing things in the right order probably helps)
    Flooded the mines, picked Jet into the party, did the three LS maps, killed sister/banshee, back to Beregost, got the Mace quest, met the chappie in the burning wizard
    Now down to Nashkel and off to kill the dragon (trivially easy with one potion of invisibility on my point man, and then a series of Ice Storms from scrolls from my two mages. If this mod is ever updated, the dragon needs chunky Magic Resistance, and See Invisible permanently)
    So back to Nashkel, met little girl again, off to Mrs Mayor, daughter missing ... and now is where it starts to go wrong
    Hints I've had are that after receiving the child recovery quest, I should get stopped by a lady outside the Nashkel Inn
    No lady
    However
    Earlier on I poked the gravestone of the nutty wizard once too often, had a mega fight with phoenix guards, who exploded and killed many many commoners, Amn fighters, plus Oublek amongst others - possibly the NPC lady who was to accost me?
    If anyone can post her code, can I CreateCreature of her and get the next part of this quest?
    Thanks to all
    (PS Easy dragon aside, enjoying this very much. Lich was a tough fight, in the end had to create skellies to lure him away from shack door so I could get inside and grab the phylactery)

    Searching through the dialogs, found that the lady I needed was Jules, so used the console to create her, got that quest done with nice and easily
    All of the rest of the DSOTSC done, except one, final thing
    I can't get out of area ARR019 - the gnoll cave at the end of all the 467 various labyrinthine areas
    The doorway just doesn't work
    I really don't want to go back through 10,11,12 areas to the original cave
    What did I miss, forget to pick up, or accidentally destroy somewhere?
    Thanks

    That's a bug. That exit should take you to the Bandit Camp area. Use C:MoveToArea("ar1900") to get you there.

    I published a walkthrough on the wiki, that anyone can edit:

    Hi All,

    Just wondering if there is an old 'original BG' version of DSotSC still accessible somewhere (that doesn't rely on the EE engine)? I never used mods back in the day (pre-EE) so don't have any old versiosn saved anywhere, but DSotSC was previously written for the original engine so hoping its still around somewhere?

    The SHS version is also BGT compatible, if you use BGT of course.

    The backup for Chosen of mystra seem down but there is some old versions here.

    Thanks JB - much appreciated - and yes I had seen that but I was aiming for an original BG install, so no to BG2 IE (which BGT will utilise). ;)

    Thanks - I've actually stumbled across that before and had forgotten about it - thanks.

    Chosen of Mystra are you referring to the directories at http://downloads.chosenofmystra.net/ perhaps? I've seen them referenced on G3 Forum but seem to have been inaccessible for a while (domain name or hosting lapsed)?

    P.S. I've found these at the Way Back Machine, last archived a few months or so ago - cheers.

    Yes I was refering to that one, thanks, it's nice to see them still availble on Way Back Machine.

    Except sadly for the IWD part.

    Bug report: Kirinhale immediately has morale failure when this is installed due to this in ds\ds-core.tpa at line 6649:
    COPY_EXISTING ~Kirinh.cre~     ~override~
     PATCH_IF ("%SOURCE_SIZE%" > "0x2d3") BEGIN
      WRITE_SHORT ~0x23e~ ~25~  //Charisma
    
      ADD_CRE_ITEM ~MISC51~ #0 #0 #0 ~NONE~ ~QITEM1~
     END
    BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES
    
    That WRITE_SHORT should be a WRITE_BYTE. It's blanking the morale field.

    Hello, I found this mod very interesting, so I took the time to translate it into German myself. Is there a way to submit the German folder without a GitHub account? Is the mod still being actively developed, or is the EET version on GitHub the only one available? Best regards :)

    The EET version is the one actively developed on Github, but iirc the only reason they are kept separate is so as not to step on each other's toes so maybe submit your translation to both? I don't think .tra files should differ too much between the two.
  • Red_CarnelianRed_Carnelian Member Posts: 97
    The BGEE version of the MOD has a German version already. It will be different.

    Hello @Red_Carnelian ... where can i download this Version of DSOTSC for the EE Version? Thanks for your Help :)
  • Red_CarnelianRed_Carnelian Member Posts: 97
    I think the version for BGT and EET is here https://github.com/Spellhold-Studios/DSotSC/releases
  • Nibor_ScotNibor_Scot Member Posts: 93
    Hello @Red_Carnelian , there is an EET version available on GitHub, and the page also points to a BG:EE Version by Solaufein and Red_Carnelian on TeamBG.com; however, the link leads elsewhere—or at least not the BG:EE version—so I ended up downloading VERSION 1.02 via the Beamdog forums. My question is: if there is an EET version on GitHub, why isn't there an EE version, or why is work on it no longer continuing? After all, not everyone uses EET. I see a German language folder in the EET version's files, but I can't tell if it actually works or is officially included. In the EE version, I noticed there *is* a German translation (albeit partial?), but it isn't offered during installation, leaving only English or other languages ​​as options. Copying the German files over the English ones to install it (a method that works for some mods) doesn't work for the EE version because part of the translation is missing from the `setup-ds.tra` file. So I translate the English Folder and use in the Installation the Option English Language...Thanks :)

    @Nibor_Scot The German translation in the EET version needs to be adjusted, then it can be included as an install option again.

    Hello @Red_Carnelian and @Jastey...i don't use the BGT or EET Version in BGEE...i only search for and use Mods for BGEE (thus dsotsc v1.02 Version). Thanks :)
  • jasteyjastey Member Posts: 2,969
    Ah, I got confused when reading your above post. It might be more clear if you write BG:EE version instead of just "EE".

  • Nibor_ScotNibor_Scot Member Posts: 93
    Hello @jastey, thanks for the tip; I will make an effort. Best regards :)
