Another mod bug...again.

Remove all ads!

I just remember. I had insalled a mod with little tweaks. One of its components modified the Imprisonment spell to be user and romance friendly,it is now a much longer version of Maze, which lasts for hours. It also does not cause the victim NPC to be kicked out of the party, which is nice for romances. After some hours have passed, game casts a Freedom itself and saves the victim.

This also horribly nerfs the spell for PC's use. Party no longer gains XP fpr imprisoning monsters as it is considered to be a long maze. A pity, I missed imprisoning demons/golems for quick XP, but I think it balanced the spell, and as such I didn'T choose Imprisonment for my Druidic Sorcerer.

Anyway, I decided to delete that component last week. I used the mod's normal exe. icon, it worked, but found an error and closed. It said 'make sure all files are bla bla something.' I guessed that some files were abcent in my BG2 folder, so I copied FRESH files from mod, and OVERWRITING alrady existing files as well.

Then when I tried to work it, it worked, BUT the mod thinks that the Imprisonment component is uninstalled. Infact it thinks that all of the components are uninstalled, ALTHOUGH in fact they are installed and take effect. I can not uninstall them, the option does not come up. I tried INSTALLING the components again, but it said: 'The component is already installed' and didn'T bother to ask me if I want to uninstall or not? MOd only asks me to install mod's components, I can't, as they are already installed, but it does not give me option to uninstall themi thinking they are not yet installed.

This is not a serious bug, thankfully, I don'T want to use imprisonment spell anymore, but it is annoying.

Can I fix it? How? And why it did find an error for the first time? I knew I did a stupid thing, but it was the only thing I could do.

Some mod expert is needed to fix this. What should I do?

 

Do you have a backup folder? Just start fresh and reinstall everything. So long as you don't load a game that was modded before you reinstall your mods, you should be fine. I do this all the time. I'm often runnig a roleplaying party and a powergaming party at the same time so I frequently uninstall and reinstall Tactics/Battles/Ascension/blah blah all the time on the same installation and it works fine.

 

I have MANY back-up folders, each before loading various new mods. But I only have the override clasore for back-up. Is this enough?

Can someone help me? Please?

 

I'd suggest doing a full reinstall of your game, and remember to remove files in mod backup folders. If you've confused WeiDU by moving and fiddling with files in the Override it is not possible to guarantee things will work properly.
