If you browse the download section here, http://mirror.spellh...net/bgt-dsotsc/ you will find a new DSotSC v1.85 and NTotSC v1.45. These do not have all of the language translations yet (English and German are in both) but they will be posted here once I get them.

These two updates contain some major fixes that King Diamond did to make these mods work with his Baldurdash fixes. They also include many changes to some items that had very strange and sometimes broken effects to them. Each mod will automatically biff themselves after installing, so you don't have to worry about it.

In addition, the German language version has a bonus, German speaking NPCs!!! (at least for DSotSC).

So please try these out. I am sure that if I messed up the language TRA files, someone will post a message about it here.

SBB, is the AR26PB.tiz not needed for the mod to run in full? I notice it is not included in the new v145 as well.

What worldmap version do they need - v5 or upcoming v6?

[erebusant]

Well, I just happened to be at this particular point in a re-install, and I must say, both new versions went in without a hitch.

i'm assuming they will work with the version 5 map because KD mentioned in his little blurb about the upcoming mod releases that v6 needed WeiDU v193 and both these are v192.

Sorry to ask a dumb question... I already have the last versions of these two mods installed - i haven't biffed them. If I install these updates will they mess anything up?

My-my, a can of worms you have opened, SBB.

Where's the link to the change history, or discussion of KD's changes ?

[King Diamond]

1) There's no AR26PB area so why any TIZ should be included? You don't need it.
2) These versions work with WM v5. But these are not the versions I mentioned somewhere. WM v6 will require full re-installing, so I recommend to wait a little or just continue your existing game as it is, forgetting about the new stuff (If you don't want to start all over again ).

KD do u know may be how much time will take the new release of the map? Just to know if restart anything from scratch now or not ...

To update from previus versions I must only uninstall component 1 from dsotsc and ntotsc and just install component 1 from new versions right? (previus versions biffed). Must I delete something manually?

[Sir BillyBob]

1) There's no AR26PB area so why any TIZ should be included? You don't need it.

NTotSC does have this area. It is the little hut in the NW area near the druid. There is no TIZ file because this area uses the same graphics of the storage huts on the werewolf island in TotSC. Just use CLUA to test this. So if my biff file tried to biff this area, it was probably because I originally had all area graphics even if they were a duplicate to the ones in the game. To save diskspace and your downloads, I changed this to use graphics you should already have. Obviously I forgot to strip that out of the BAT file but that error doesn't stop the biff process, so ignore it.

DS and NT both use Worldmap 5, the same version I used to look over what KD changed. I have not played a whole game, just jumped around but the areas showed on my map so I have to assume it will work.

There is a change.txt file right in the mod. Please look in the obvious places before asking. I don't know if KD ever posted a list here in the forum. He has for other mods but those (CtB, etc) where his versions anyway.

I've missed it looking for TIS and WED....

Ok, perfect timing - just that minute I was about to speak to Jet'laya So now, how do I update? Do I have to uninstall the old version first? Do I have to completely reinstall everything? I have loads of other mods installed, like SoBH, SoS, NeJ, ... Any known issues with them for updating?

Regards

If you are not used to building out these games all the time, I would recommend you just live with what you have for now. I would rather have a few hardcore players test these updates and any future fixes for now. Everyone else should either be patient and give this a month or so, or try the updates realizing that a massive game rebuild may be necessary.

In theory, you should just uninstall NTotSC and DSotSC (in that order), then install these versions. These are not patches, they are full installs of these mods. You do have to uninstall the old ones! If you have biffed most of your override folder, you may have strange problems uninstalling the mods and installing the new ones. I can't say for certain. I always had bad luck with past versions of Weidu doing this when files are biffed, but newer versions may be much more stable.

For anyone who has DSotSC v1.85 and NTotSC v1.45 installed, please post the change.txt file contents here, in a post. Just curious to know what's been updated.
