TETHYR FOREST PATCH

Version 3b - 2009-11-26

Authors:

Concept/Area editing - Hoppy

Coding - White Agnus


For use with the Baldur's Gate II - SoA modifications: Check the Bodies (CtB) with Tortured Souls (TS-BP 6.10) and/or Tashia-Remix.



I.  Background-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came up with this idea after throwing the concept around in the Big Picture workroom over a year ago. The original cave in the Forest of Tethyr going to AR2602 was being changed by CtB to go to AR3530.  The mods TS-BP and Tashia still used AR2602 for quests and scripts.  I wanted to create a new entrance to the cave to AR2602 so all the mods' content	could be achieved without CLUA console.  It seemed like a good idea but turned out to be harder
than I thought.  

The new cave is south of the original entrance to AR2602 below a fallen tree and due west of a little lake.


II.  Installation---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Install Setup-TethyrForestPatch	after you have installed CtB and TS-BP for these two to be fully compatible.  If you do not want TS-BP that is fine as you will still have the cave to explore.  

In regards to Tashia-Remix, this will also be compatible as long as the patch is installed after CtB as the Tashia mod just uses the area script for AR2602. 
  

III. Versions-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 3b
Updatet to Weidu v212 (New Code for ADD_AREA_REGION_TRIGGER)

Version 3a 

Fixed the DOOR01 screwup.  This was a screwup that was not in version 2 :(

WeiDU coding by White Agnus to make sure the area is patched rather than overwriting for all of the different types of megamod installations and to reduce the chance of CTD's (crash to desktops) if other mods added to the AR2600.


Version 2  
 
Less crashing for some but needed to be compatible



Version 1 

Rubbish and it crashed a lot.
