Possible bug?

[Strontium Dog]

OK, I have done a new megamod BWP installation and thought everything was fine after checking my weidu file to see if everything was installed. The item revisions main component was indeed listed as installed(plus the hotfix). But, when I idly checked shadowkeeper one time, the blackrazor sword had the same exact (vanilla BG2) description in both of the items named blackrazor(both describing the same sword, same image). Now I've checked many of the other item-revisions-altered items previously out of vague interest, and they all seem to have been altered properly given the descriptions. So my questions are:- is it possible with a BWP weidu installation that some items in various mods fail to get installed? I'd thought that weidu always rolled back the installation if not all components were installed properly.

 

Is it possible for me to correct the above error re blackrazor? I was thinking of simply putting item_rev's blackrazor item-code into the override folder. Can I do that and then load a savegame with blackrazor already equipped by 1 of my characters, with the change showing re effects re combat? I have no idea as to how to also transfer item_rev's correct description as well.

I don't know, BWP allows tons of different install setups, thus you may have a mod installed after IR which reverts the changes applied to Blackrazor.

Yep, it's quite easy if you know how to use Near Infinity or a similar editor. After copying the .itm file into the override you have two options:

- find the string reference for IR's Blackrazor and assign it to the weapon

- open vanilla's description of the item with the editor and copy/paste IR's description over it

I fear so. I just wish there were more detailed readmes covering all the changes plus definite walkthroughs so that people encountering the inevitable mod-breaking bug here and there can complete quests etc.

I have no idea how to use nearinfinity - the vague. really short online tutorial was quite useless for me. I am a bit of a technophobe and so have used the much easier method of just transferring the item-code to the override folder and just ignore the non-relevant spell-description(which has changed to some bizarre dialogue about Artemis Entreri in Riatavin). I'll try reluctantly to use nearinfinity in the future if I can ever get round to mastering it.
