SpellholdStudios / BP-BGT-Worldmap

This mod replaces the ingame worldmap with a large, new worldmap. It is used especially for the Megamodification (BGT, TDD, SOS, CtB, TS, DSotSC, NTotSC, SoBH, Drizzt Saga...) or partial installations of the Megamodification. It also includes a full set of coloured map icons. The mod offers the choice between two different worldmap sizes: large and huge. Either of these two worldmaps can be used for BG1, BG2 and ToB. Alternatively, a smaller, specially prepared worldmap can be used for ToB.

Oddities: some add-on maps vanish, though this may be due to weidu #69

So I install quite many mods, and I think some mods are causing issues.

I just played another runthrough, but suddenly I could no longer go to Innershade - that mod from Lava.

When I click on it, and go to travel, nothing changes and instead I am at the starting position, aka from where I tried to walk to Innershade. I could go to it before with the same run (see the caveat soon).

Then, just recently, I noticed that the silent swamp, another Lava mod, disappeared. I visited it before.

Now ... this may be unrelated to the worldmap mod, because I had another issue with tactics remix (AGAIN). So I tried to re-install it. Weidu, being the garbage tool it is (sorry to say so but it is true), then went ahead and reinstalled everything. And then things are missing suddenly ... including entries on the map. So I am not sure this is worldmap's fault - may be weidu and perhaps a mod acting up. I have some faulty descriptions of items as well. But I think in some ways weidu is also at fault here since it seems to overwrite things, even IF faulty mods cause that issue.

Innershade may be an issue with the map; something is buggy with it. It takes like 3 seconds before I can move after I rest there. But perhaps it is also semi-related to the worldmap, so who knows - I am just reporting this here in the event someone else runs into issues of entries on the map suddenly vanishing again. Would be kind of nice if we could also get a world-map item, so we could still visit such places, even if the main map is acting up. (Reason I think weidu is at fault too is because when it decides to reinstall things, things simply vanish, including from my item; I had a custom book that raises wis or int, and after weidu reinstalled everything, without anyone telling it to do so , that vanished too. A shame the game is probably too old to see someone coming up with a viable alternative to weidu.)

What mods? Please post the WeiDU.log file content.

So generally you have your answer here. Using started game save is not recommended after uninstallation of any mod components. Each mod creates let's say a snapshot during installation, so uninstalling something from the middle (like tactics remix) caused reinstallation of all subsequent modifications.

Would be kind of nice if we could also get a world-map item, so we could still visit such places, even if the main map is acting up.

You are repeating yourself. I saw the same suggestion in the previous issue on GitHub. It is not a forum, so it would be nice when one issue is related to one request/problem/defect/etc.

I am not sure if you understand how to use WeiDU properly. For a player, it is as simple as an installer. "Playing" with multiple installations and uninstallations during single gameplay simply destroys game state, as some of the files are missing or so. Any compatibilities between modification have to be implemented in mods itself. So if you could describe what is wrong with the weidu, it would be helpful to resolve the issue then.
