Am I just being paranoid or is this a problem?

The mulgore.d fix file is in the mod.

Debug for the mod.

[Ascension64]

According to your WeiDU.log, you already installed it. Are you trying to install it a second time?

[Miloch]

It installed with warnings, which are harmless for the most part. Like the original author said though, the mod could use some fixing up, and anyone who wants to is free to do it. Possibly he meant Ascension64 when he said that...

[Arátoeldar]

Correct Miloch. It's just me being paranoid about the debug log.

[cmorgan]

As per PM request at G3, taking a look...

[cmorgan]

OK, Arátoeldar, it should not be too difficult to update this without messing up the original author's stuff - in 2004, noone really could do stuff without the copy.

Grave, I think it is way cool that you had the idea and got everything done; *PLEASE* don't take anything I say next as cricisim - I am trying to show some stuff that might be common in older mods and how to change it, while fixing up your mod. This is modernization stuff, not criticism!!! We have a whole new set of technologies to play with now!!!!

That being said - Arátoeldar, uninstall this mod right away - it completely blows away both the area and script for FW1001.are:

COPY ~MulgoreXaviaNPC/_ar1001.bcs~ ~override/_ar1001.bcs~

COPY ~MulgoreXaviaNPC/FW1001.are~ ~override/FW1001.are~

Modern convention for placement is to decide where you want the .cres to spwan and script 'em in; I will be back with code when I have found where he put 'em at first.

The parse error Moongaze fixed was a single extra ")", so no problem -

and all those empty ~~ are for the soundset. Nowadays, to make things work for multiple languiages, we uses .tra ("traification" or creating a translation file).

{WILL EDIT IN CODE EXAMPLE HERE FOR BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURE<<]
(and no reason why this needs ToB)


but one warning. Grave was right about the dialogue - it is *just* the initial encounter and the kickouts. If you want these folks to talk, banter, or have a quest, not just be big strong silent types, someone needs to help Grave out and start writing for them. Still, updating this would give authors a chance to have a working mod that they could add dialogue to easily, so I will set up a template for that as well.

(one final note to everyone who makes a mod - remember to clean out your mod backup folder before packing it up for distribution - a mistake I have made myself . 5.34MB of this mod is the backup folder, all of which needed to be emptied before distribution...)

Back with code progress in a few days.

[Ascension64]

One way to fix the current issues for this old mod is to re-convert the BGT version back to Tutu. I fixed a load of errors in the BGT conversion.

[cmorgan]

Holy cow - OK, that would be very easy . That will teach me to start something with minimal research...

With your permission, Ascension64, I will crossmod your BGT version, if that is ok, and make it another of the "For BGT and Tutu" list. Current tutorials actually cover everything I was going to say, from commented sound-assigned strings in the .tp2 to creating dialogues using statenames rather than numbers.

(And it would keep me on task implementing the whole %BGTEDWINJState0% set of changes forBG1 NPC. Nothing like grunt coding to make a guy look for distractions )

[cmorgan]

Almost at testing stage - translations for Russian and German for the following strings, please?


@1000 = ~Baldur's Gate Tutu with Tales of the Sword Coast detected.~

@1001 = ~Baldur's Gate Trilogy detected.~

@1002 = ~Neither Baldur's Gate Trilogy nor Baldur's Gate Tutu with Tales of the Sword Coast detected.

Please check that you are installing in the correct folder, and that you have Tales of the Sword Coast installed.~

Also, how to say "and Tutu" in German and Russian.

Edited by cmorgan, 17 January 2008 - 08:30 PM.

[cmorgan]

All but translations above completed, successful Tutu and BGT installs. [2s]Waiting for compression of .wav files to .ogg and adaptation of the .tp2 and .bat to install/uninstall sounds, complete the update, then final changelog put into place and ready for sending to Ascension64 for a doublecheck and official ok/send to mirrors (after those translations are in...)[/s]

Added/Revised this changelog. cmorgan, January 18, 2008

Edited by cmorgan, 18 January 2008 - 02:02 PM.

[Ascension64]

Yeah, all good. I got permission from Grave for the BGT version. I'll recheck e-mail to see if he had said anything about more general editing of his mod.

Also, how to say "and Tutu" in German and Russian.

"...und Tutu." auf Deutsch. That's about as far as my elementary German goes.

Don't worry about Diffing, I'll trust you.

[Miloch]

Whoa... I don't look at this topic for a day and cmorgan's already recoded it? I guess he'll have a whole new set of interjections by Sunday.

I'll recheck e-mail to see if he had said anything about more general editing of his mod.

Eh... like in the first and last posts on the previous page?

Maybe somebody with a little more modding experience that I can take this idea, run with it, and really make something special out of it! I just don't have the time...

[cmorgan]

Don't worry about Diffing, I'll trust you.

Thanks, man, but I don't trust myself I actually really like your inclusion of a changelog, and if there is one thing that I hate to do myself but need to follow both you and CamDawg on, it's keep up the docs so if someone else does stuff they can see what happened (I am still reading both BGT and Fixpack documentation and learning useful stuff).

So, then, I expect this weekend to have
1. the audio compressed and installer updated,
2. final test install and recheck on both BGT 1.05b and EasyTutu_ToB_Beta
3. the package .rar'ed up and sent to Ascension64 for remirroring (I suggest The Wizard [and Dragon's Hoard, if the original is still there] replace the mirrored original with your v4, because you fixed a good deal of stuff, some of which is very critical).

@Miloch, Arátoeldar, you folks like half-orcs... Grave has asked about folks writing dialogue for his creation here... hmmm. Perhaps a playthrough, where you two have some fun and script out some material for him? This set of NPCs comes pretty late in a Tutu game, but might be a really good addition to a BGT game. And moving them into BG2 might be a fun experiment on the Tutu side. (I play "goody two shoes" Paladin types, so I think I have done what I can to assist folks on this project. Someone with an Orcish nature needs to get in here and so some fun stuff).

The Mulgore & Xavia NPC project for BGT-WeiDU and Tutu
Version 4

By Robert Zellhart (lizzardo420@yahoo.com)
Converted to BGT-WeiDU by: Ascension64, with permission from Robert Zellhart (Grave); Tutu enabled by cmorgan

Requirements:

BGT-WeiDU version 0.99 BETA 4 or higher or Tutu/EasyTutu with Tales of the Sword Coast installed

About:

**NOTE** This mod is uncompleted! Since I?m not very experienced at the whole modding thing, I decided to just publish what I have, and maybe somebody who is more experienced at this than I am can take what I have and run with it... hopefully taking my ideas and making a fully functional mod with them, sort of the way Kelsey is! I know I would love to see it happen some day! If you wish to take this NPC project and add to it, just remember to put my name down in the credits for the original idea! Thanks...

This is my first attempt EVER at creating NPCs for the Infinity Engine. I made these NPCs so that I can use some of the added races and classes found in Baldur?s Gate 2 for the Baldur?s Gate: ToTSC storyline.

Xavia is a NE half-elf female assassin.
Mulgore is a CE half-orc barbarian.

You will find Mulgore and Xavia at the Ulgoth?s Beard Inn (ARU0001 in BGT, FW1001 in Tutu).

Installation instructions:

Extract this archive (MulgoreXaviaNPC_v4_BGT_TUTU.rar) into your BGT-WeiDU installation directory.
Run Setup-MulgoreXaviaNPC.exe.
WeiDU will then start up.
Follow the instructions, and the mod will be installed!

Ascension64, I am uploading the file on the SHS temporary development server for you, if I can figure out how.

Edited by cmorgan, 18 January 2008 - 01:57 PM.

[Ascension64]

Looks good. One thing about this though, is that one of the reason's Grave made this mod was to introduce some ToB things directly into BG1. Therefore, if Tutu users don't have ToB, some things might be missing.

[cmorgan]

ooop aaaaack...

ToB it is.

I will take a quick look and grab the correct F_E_I_G calls; do you want them posted here, or do you want me to update the docs and the mod and repost up in the SHS beta section for you?

[Miloch]

@Miloch, Arátoeldar, you folks like half-orcs... Grave has asked about folks writing dialogue for his creation here... hmmm. Perhaps a playthrough, where you two have some fun and script out some material for him? This set of NPCs comes pretty late in a Tutu game, but might be a really good addition to a BGT game.

Heh. Yeah, I'll add that to my to-do list after the mods in progress, which will put it roughly in, oh, the next decade or so . I think berelinde was interested in writing some half-orc dialogue though...

I think it would be a good idea to offer an alternate starting location for the pair, both for non-TotSC users and those who just want them earlier. Maybe fw4300 (North Nashkel Road) which otherwise doesn't have much going for it. Or maybe the east or south part of fw3400 (Temple) which is pretty deserted. Since you've done that for several BG1 NPCs, you should be able to swipe a code template from there.
