Installation bug re spell revisions mod

Recommended Posts

OK, I thought I'd installed the spell revisions mod as normal.Via shadowkeeper, I've checked numerous spells for whether they have the spell-revisions-altered description to them and they all do - except the blade barrier spell. It seems that despite my previous misconceptions, a weidu install can omit certain items being installed, without the installation of that mod being rolled back. It might(?) be due to my watching DVDs while the installation happened, perhaps, despite the speed of my PC?

 

Anyway, no other mod in the BWP installations seems to have altered the blade barrier spell(indeed I now have a 6th(?)-level wizard "blade barrier" spell with the spell-revisions mod's new description re effects, though the priests' blade barrier spell-versions are all with the vanilla BG2 description. There were some changes made by spellpack(but I didn't install that particular component) and there was an scsII component mildly altering the globe of blades and blade barrier spells, but the globe of blades spell is fine.Unless , that is, that scsII component replaced the spell_revisions-altered spells with its own ones without just patching the spell-rev-added versions of those 2 spells?

 

I think I can salvage the situation by putting the relevant spell-rev spells from the spell_rev folders(plus any extra files from projectiles etc. if required) into the override folder - it worked for the wall of fire spell from the spellpack mod. I'm just afraid that if it's possible for the spell-rev's spells not to be installed, that the spell-rev descriptions might have gotten installed but not the actual spell_rev-altered spells. This would be problematic as I only want most but not all of the spell-rev spells added into the game. I would have to do a majore reinstall so as to ensure all spells got installed correctly.

The most likely explanation is that another mod changed Blade Barrier after SR was installed. You needn't worry that WeiDU decided to install only half of SR's spells, or anything like that.

 

Familiarise yourself with using WeiDU's --change-log feature and you'll be able to track down which mods have affected the file. I checked SCS II's changes and they behave nicely.

Ah right, I'll check that change-log file you mention.
