a hotfix to repair a broken entry in TRIGGER.IDS that prevents most doors and exits opening in TOB, rendering it unplayable.
the error: BPv177 unnecessarily adds a new WalkedToTrigger entry to TRIGGER.IDS; this new entry doesn't actually work, rendering any script that references WalkedToTrigger (most exits and doors in TOB, as it happens) nonfunctional.
the fix: thanks to CamDawg's generosity, the fix first replaces the broken trigger with a dummy trigger, then recompiles all scripts that use WalkedToTrigger, then replaces the dummy trigger with the correct entry: voila! functioning TOB game without requiring a BP reinstall.
note: 1. this hotfix will not be needed once BPv178 is actually released; just don't ask me *when* that'll be, yeah? it *was* meant to be before the end of august...
2. this is packaged with a very old version of weidu: it might tell you something about the handstitched nature of my own install that weidu v191 is the most recent one i've got.
3. this fix will take a bit of time to run: don't panic, it's just doing it's thing.
THANKS:
