Hey guys.

I have this annoying problem - i've recently decided to do the BGT Mega-Install. All went fine, i start a new game, and notice that all polish letters are screwed up. (yeah, both my bg's are polish versions)

Well, not "screwed up", more like replaced with other letters. I wanted to get to the root of the problem, and first thing that came to my mind was checking out the dialog.tlk file. So i did, and i noticed that only the text imported by BGT from my BG1 was "corrupted". I cut out the "corrupted" text, and fixed it. But when i try to run the game with the modified file it crashes. I guess it's due to some checksum error, or, more likely, i screw up some dialogue strings when i manually modify the text.

Anyway, the question is - what do i need to do to apply the changes i made and do it so the game won't choke up on them? I tried toying with various weidu options, but couldn't figure it out, it's black magic for me.

Someone please help me. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

How do i do that? Help!

(sorry for double-post and lack of patience, it's just that i wan't to test the mods so badly, and this whole thing completely destroys my enjoyment of the game)

Hi Madbringer,

You may be on to a larger problem here. Do any other Polish users experience this problem? Also, did you run the kpqbg1.exe program after BGT-WeiDU had completed installation?

It is possible that the character set from BG1 mismatches that of BG2, and that is something very difficult for me to test because I am not Polish and do not own Polish versions of the game.

I think he didn't use kpzbg1.exe in BG1 folder.

[Madbringer]

Um, no, no i didn't. Actually, i'm totally unaware of the existence of the program you guys mention... it's some kind of character converter?

Could one of you guys please link it? And tell me, can i use it with my bg2? Or do i have to reinstall the whole game? T_T

[Ascension64]

Please read <BGII installation directory>\BGT-WeiDU\Help\[Polish]PostInstall.htm for information on that program. The detail is in bold at the very top of that file.

[Madbringer]

Omg, i can be so dense sometimes... always read the readme.

Well, problem solved. Sorry for making a problem out of my own mistake and thanks for the help.


Cheers.

No problem, Madbringer.
It is often good to get someone that doesn't do the right thing so to set a precedent for future occurrences of the same error. In other words, now everyone shall know what happens in Polish BGT-WeiDU if you don't run kpzbg1.exe.
