Jun14 version nukes Kaedrin PRC compatibility #55

Closed Daisho11 closed 3 years ago

Daisho11 commented 3 years ago

Just installed the newest nwn2fixes and Kaedrin's PRC mod no longer works in game.

kevL commented 3 years ago

can you be more specific? And have you run a duplicate file checker against your /Override and resolved conflicts?

if i have to, today's commit can be reverted but id like to know why

Daisho11 commented 3 years ago

With the jun14 player master folder in override, Kaedrin PRC feats are no longer available at level up. When the folder is removed from override, the feats are available again at character creation and level up. I ran ccleaner duplicate file finder on override (both with and without the jun14 player master folder) but all it found were duplicate files in a cosmetic mod (xaltar heads). My apologies if this is in the wrong forum for this and my low expertise.

before you installed jun14, were you using the previous Nwn2Fixes and things worked?

ie Did the jun14 update break the kPrC pack?

here's the list of changes https://github.com/nwn2fixes/player/commit/a41025672b1b184c4c027a0769a74bca578a4b57

just a bunch of recompiled scripts. But unfortunately i don't see anything that could interefere with Feats @ levelup.

i suspect it's a 2da issue ...

It did work with the previous version of nwn2fixes, though I was having an issue with telthor companion for spirit shaman being stuck at level 1, so I decided to do some testing and digging around. That's when I saw the new version of fixes and decided to give that a shot. I have since uninstalled the game, completely removed all leftover files, then reinstalled with only kaedrin's prc, tony k ai, some appearance stuff, and the issue still persisted. Also, I noticed that it was only the kaedrin prc feats that were not showing up. The spells and classes were still showing up at leveling.

I have found a workaround that seems to make everything work so far. In my override folder, I added a "z" to the beginning of the kaedrin prc folder name, to see if folder order would do anything, and it seems (so far) to have fixed the issue. Hopefully that may give some clues as to what might be causing this issue.

( atm i'm thinking you could have resolved some issues with the previous version against other things in your /override, maybe forgot about it, then just slapped in the new version of Fixes, and the probls reappeared / just a guess though )

some time ago I did have to fix animal companions stuck at L1, i think for compatibility with the kPrC pack. i might have missed a possible quirk w/ the telthor companion ...

hm. Duplicate Feat.2da ... ( Nwn2Fixes and the kPrC both distribute Feat.2da - the one in Fixes is not too important iirc : go with Kaedrin's )

that is strongly indicative that you've got duplicate files in your /override. Perhaps get a better duplicate file checking app than the one in CCleaner

I used auslogics duplicate file finder and it turned up some duplicates. I removed all the duplicates with it, but the problem still persists (unless I change the folder order in override again). Is there a duplicate file finder that you recommend instead?

kevL commented 3 years ago

i use AllDup It takes a while to figure out and set up, but it's powerful/adaptable.

( Remember that resources in Modules' .hak files override the /override. And there's an /override folder under the installation folder also. And that ui-files can be under /ui or /override, etc etc )

And a note about the "z" folder prefix -- i haven't tried to figure out exactly why that appears to work for some people, but having done some coding in c++/c# it might not be because "z" is the last letter of the english alphabet ; it could rather be that that folder was the last folder created or relabeled ... / just sayin' that that tactic might not always work as expected

ps. correction re. AnimalCompanions -- that was for MetaPrepa not nwn2fixes.

So have you got things working to satisfaction atm?

kevL commented 3 years ago

here's a question: is the issue specific to a Campaign/module or does it happen no matter what Campaign/module is loaded ?
