I think I'm close to completing a successful mega install, but have one remaining problem. Several "cannot find block matching ... " errors popped up, and I fixed most of them. There are two, however, that I'm stuck on.

WARNING: cannot find block matching [BPv177/SNIP/oDEMNAB1.bcs]
WARNING: cannot find block matching [BPv177/SNIP/oDEMNAB2.bcs]

The appropriate original file to compare these files to is DEMNABSU.BCS. However, I don't know which parts of the BP files correspond to which parts of the original file. If someone could help me with what to change in the BP "o" files I'd really appreciate it.

demnabsu.BCS (original file)

I got this from another forum (non-Spellhold), but could really use the knowledge of someone involved in BP. Thanks ..


A quick and rather hacked fix would be to try replacing the "oDEMNAB01.bcs" from BP with the third block from DEMNABSU.BAF in the Fixpack. But since the changes in the Fixpacked script appear (to me at least) to be "smarter" than the BP changes, it might make more sense actually comment out the line(s) in the BP tp2 attempting to do the REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK. But I give that advice knowing nothing about BP or why it's trying to do this replacement.

A third option is to try to rewrite oDEMNAB01.bcs yourself to take advantage of the Fixpack's smarter targetting but BP's reweighting of the script. It seems to be trying to remove TANARI_DEATH_GAZE, though I'm not sure why.

[zookeeper]

Is no one able to give me any pointers on this? I only have a limited time window in which to play, and was hoping to be able to use BP. Thanks again ..

[Azazello]

I like the advice given at G3 ("non-Spellhold") forum.

I like the advice given at G3 ("non-Spellhold") forum.

Thanks for the reply, Azazello, I appreciate it. Since I'm not confident in my ability to rewrite the BP tp2 files, my inclination is to comment out the portion of the .tp2 that replaces the blocks in the original DEMNABSU.bcs file. My hesitation is in what Miloch (@G3) wrote in the boldface sentence below:

I guess that's the insight I was hoping for from someone who knows BP.

[Miloch]

Maybe someone just didn't like TANARI_DEATH_GAZE .

[seanas]

it would seem as if teh Fixpack has altered a file that BP is looking for to patch (and BP is using a kludgy old weidu routine to do it too), so that when BP comes to look for it to patch, the file (as BP is expecting to find it) is not there. the long term solution, as in all such incompatibilities, is for BP to be updated to account for the Fixpack's changes.

the short-term solution is, as was said at G3, to comment out the offending lines in BP's tp2 file (and as for why the Fixpack is altering those files: i have no idea ^^ ). the functional effect of commenting out the BP lines is that the script is not patched... which is exactly what is happening at the moment with the warning notice. unless i'm mistaking something and the BP install is failing at that point, those warnings can be safely ignored.

[zookeeper]

Seanas, thanks for your reply and lucid explanation. I did end up just commenting out the relevant lines from the .tp2 ... next challenge is the stuttering ..

[Miloch]

and as for why the Fixpack is altering those files: i have no idea ^^

It appears to give its script priority targetting for (other?) demons. But as to the "why" I have no idea either. Then again, I'm not really familiar with this creature or how its used. BP, on the other hand, appears to change the weighting in the script so that it uses certain attacks (Vampiric Touch, Death Gaze, etc.) with different frequency, or not at all. Again, not sure as to the "why" there.
