jastey Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Ah, cool. Using weidu directly didn't occur to me. Thanks! (I guess that was a "no" to my original question.) Link to comment
CamDawg Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 There are ways to do it within the mod, but none are good. You could set up the mod to have one 'you must install me component'--think BG1 NPC's main component, except the Tweaks one would do nothing--that all other components would require. If you wanted to uninstall everything, you'd fire up the installer, uninstall that one component, and then quit, which would prompt WeiDU to uninstall all of the other Tweak components for you. The other way would be to have a component that is literally a string of if-component-installed-then-uninstall-it, but then you'd be left with that one component installed and would have to go back and then uninstall it. Plus it could potentially take 10x longer than necessary with WeiDU's onion skin install process--I haven't really played around with UNINSTALL. Link to comment
jastey Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I understand that it's too complicated /not easily feasible = not worth the effort. I have full understanding for not doing things if it's not worth the effort. Maybe put a line into the readme with instructions how to uninstall all in one go as you mentioned above? (Maybe with a bit more detail where to put that command line.) It's just a suggestion. Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) There is a third way (which you probably won't like either ): don't use GROUP for the various groups of components. Instead have five introductory components that look exactly like the GROUP questions: "Do you want to install rule changes?" ... "Do you want to install cosmetic changes?" ... etc. And then have each substantive component use REQUIRE_PREDICATE MOD_IS_INSTALLED ~CDTweaks~ ~#~... where the # is one of those first five group components. This will cause Weidu to begin the whole installation with the extra questions (whichever one is relevant to the current status): What would you like to do with components that are not yet installed? - Install them all - Skip them all - Ask about each one What would you like to do with components that are already installed? - Uninstall them all - Reinstall them all - Ask about each one Edited June 10, 2017 by subtledoctor Link to comment
CamDawg Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yeah, that's pretty much worse by just about any conceivable measure. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 A few minor adjustments and everything appears to be working on PsTEE, too. Link to comment
Damianus_NT Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Hi. I have some questions regarding HP in Shadows of Amn, and I figured that You (CamDawg) may have some insight. Sorry for writing in this topic, but I cannot find 'Private Message' function. Delete this if necessary. 1. Is there a way to force BG2 to give a proper amount of starting hp for our main character? a) If we import 'character file' from BG1 then <charname> will most likely have less hp than they should. For instance, a fighter, level 7, constitution 19, gets 71 hp instead of 105 hp (berserker, tried this many times, always 71 hp). In order to avoid this "hp reset" one can import BG1 save instead (not the character file!). But even then, HP pool is not going to be the same, because... b) The game grants player extra hp dice! That is, the level 9 berserker <charname> is going to have 100 basic hp + bonuses granted from constitution. He should obviously have 90 hp + constitution bonuses, but the game apparently gives the player an extra "dice", probably to compensate the default "roll to see how much health you get" system. Other example: a fighter/mage, 18 constitution should start with 66 hp but gets the maximum of 73. Is there a way to turn it off? 2. Despite having CDTWEAKS/SETUP-CDTWEAKS.TP2~ #6 #3012 enabled (max hp for NPC's), Imoen in the Irenicus Dungeon has only 57 hp. It should be 62, if I'm correct. But maybe it's just the prologue Imoen, not the one we rescue later. BTW. The other NPCs have their hp pools properly maxed. It is only Imoen who seems to be bugged. Again, sorry for posting here. I'm just curious. EDIT: Using easy difficulty changes nothing while importing character file. Creating new character works fine, of course, and they roll max hp + bonus. (So fighter, level 7, constitution 18 gets 108 hp, instead of 98 hp (extra 10 hp for free). BTW. The example of fighter/mage is from the unmoded game, as well as tested with Epic Endeavours mod. How on Earth, a constitution 18, level 6/6 fighter/mage gets 73 hp, at the beginning of the game, not 66? In BG1 he/she starts with 11 hp. The game gives a single dice of bonus hp (in this case 4 hp + 10 hp /2 = 7, according to fighter/mage class and without constitution bonus). Edited June 20, 2017 by Damianus_NT Link to comment

As you have to apply the kit... 1. Just set the game to Easy -difficulty, you'll get the max HPs during level up, including the start of the game, after which you can set the difficulty to fries_with_fish. In the EE games this is easy, as the game has a option to make this easier... 2. You might have multiple mods and the Imoen might be from them, and so have less HPs. And yep, she should have 62 HPs... you should be getting the same Imoen back, just bit leveled up, so... Link to comment
CamDawg Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 2. Despite having CDTWEAKS/SETUP-CDTWEAKS.TP2~ #6 #3012 enabled (max hp for NPC's), Imoen in the Irenicus Dungeon has only 57 hp.

Well spotted, this took me a while to track down the bug. Imoen (imoen10 is the creature file) is not being patched here--her 57 HP is her original HP. It turns out that the HP calculator was not properly detecting dual-class flags, so it was incorrectly calculating hit points as if she was a level 8/7 multi-class mage-thief. I fixed it locally and it's now properly adjusting her to 62 HP. This is likely affecting her other versions as well as Nalia. As for the extra die roll and import shenanigans it's generally been something I've ignored, as I'm not able to make engine-level changes. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Oh, and the new shaman class was unaccounted, making their calculations wrong for levels 10 or higher. Link to comment
Hack'n'Slash Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Do we still need to use the BigWorld Fixpack with this mod now? Link to comment
lynx Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That fixpack doesn't address anything about this tweakpack, so it's a pretty odd question. Link to comment
Hack'n'Slash Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Not really an odd question. Maybe should have stated i'm doing an eet install.
