Mod instals

[Gabrielles blades]

ok strange bug
I installed SoA
then ToB
then ToB patch
then shadows over soubar
then kelsey SoA
then kelsey ToB
then tashia
then nalia
then ascention
then redemption

Anyhow, i just started a new game...and it seems that ribald (adventure mart) has kelsey dialogue instead of store dialogue? im not sure what it is i did wrong to have that happen and since it happened i assume that theres something wrong with the rest of the install as well. help appreciated

OK, dialogue.tlk has become screwed at some point.

That usualy means that a non-weiDU mod has been installed after a weiDU mod. Ascension comes in a non-weiDU version, although no one should use it, cos its a very old version. Make sure you get a weiDU version.

Soubar is also a non-weiDU mod acording to the cached pages I can access (the live version is down. Teambg.net had better get back online soon). You did install it first, right?

Are kelsey SoA and kelsey Tob seperate mods? I was under the impression that kelsey ToB included the SoA content as well. Something to check out, installing the same mod twice might do weird things.

Ascension is a major mod, so it should be installed before the minor things.

Nalia romance - bingo. A non-weiDU mod. It includes its own dialogue.tlk, so it will replace your own one and that results in characters using the wrong strings for conversation. If there is a weiDU version then weimer dosent know about it, and Arnels site hasnt been updated in the best part of a year, so I wouldn't expect an update anytime soon.

I dont see any way of making Nalia run with Soubar installed on the same system - you cant have the content of both dialogue.tlks installed at once. And I seem to recall that the nalia mod is incompatable with some of the other romance mods anyway. Sad to say, but it looks like youll have to dump that mod. I think someone recently said they were making a new Nalia mod, that one will probably be more usuable.

They are separate, both must be installed in order to have Kelsey throughout the game. Just as SOA and TOB are separate (you don't get the whole game when you buy TOB), Kelsey-SOA and Kelsey-TOB are separate.

Nah. WeiDU-Ascension can be installed whenever, although since Kelsey has Ascension-specific content and there's the optional Redemption add-on, you MIGHT want to have it earlier on.

Yes, it's not been WeiDU'ed.

That would be me, and yes. [img]smile.gif[/img]

After several tries, I'd recommend not installing the Nalia romance MOD with anything besides a generic (+ patched, maybe) game. I've found screwed up dialogue several times with any other MOD's, regardless of WeiDu or order. Even if I get it working without screwed up dialogue, it tends to lock up in "the wedding scene" & you can't proceed (highly annoying after getting to that point in the game just to find out you're locked up).

I for one am anxiously awaiting this - I had such high hopes when I first saw the original attempt. [img]smile.gif[/img]
