Any word on what's the difference between the BiG World Fixpack v8.0.1 & BiG World Installpack v8.0.1 and the normal v8's?

[Lollorian]

Just downloaded them

The BWP Installpack 8.01 seems to be BWP8 with new(Mike)'s Longer Road language correction.

The BWP Fixpack 8.01 is BWP8 with all of ScuD and Hoppy's fixes in them. (<self plug>OMG!!! And mine too Now who would've guessed that?? </self plug>)

GO BWP GO!!!
Lol

So is bwp v8.1 going to be released this weekend still? I say v8.1 because the other updated files.

You mean the pdf file... I doubt that, as the team is pushing the BWS out, it can fix the problem without a revision in the documents.

So what if the BWP is has bit out dated documentation, it has had that some time.

I meant the bwp v8 setup actually not the pdf documentation is usually never as updated as the rest of things in life so ive found out. *chuckles*

Erm, the BWSv8 hasn't been released yet, so how can you say anything about it. The other way around, I could understand it... as in:

bwp v8 setupBWS actually not the pdf documentation is usually never as more up to dated asthan the rest of things in life, so iI've found out.

Real link.

Lollorian: It's in between.

The BWS does nothing language-wise with the weidu-installation-lines of the BWP-Installpack.
It only fetches the info from the linklist if the mod supports a language or not. (Currently up to 3 languages)

So it will display ThOgma in a English installation if you select to hide foreign mods if Leomar updates the linklist, but it will still be handled as before by the Installpack.


As mentioned before, I'm currently trying to split all the info from the Installpack into diffrent files and merge them together to create "weidu-commandlines" and make all translations available, but I think this will take a few dozen workhours to be realized.
I won't say the ...when it's done. Doh, too late.

If this is done, an update of the BWSs config-files would be enough to do that. And all wars would end, everybody would be happy, cookies would fly into your mouth, no wait... just kidding. Cookies can't fly.

Haha yeah I thought about that when I finished the first one, but at that time, I had no idea I'd be doing 2 more

But, I'm done for the week, any new translations would come next sunday Anyway, I think only the Tales of Anegh mod's left, i won't be doing NPC translations cause they have different personalities and such that I may not be aware of (had a hard time trying to replicate Korgan's accent and Jan's dialog format for the Oghma mod )

Anybody wanna go ahead and do Tales of Anegh can start whenever they want (maybe we can split the work ) It's some ~32 MB mod so I'm worried it might take longer than a single sunday and I dunno if its even traified

PS: I never thanked Graoumf for updating the mods THANK YOU GRAOUMF!!!

Cheers,
Lol

Already doing Talesof Anegh and Breagar

@Icke: Guess what: Leomar said something like "Do not use BWS because we are updating cause it will doom your installation to fail" and that's what happends. BWP7 uses othe chapternumbers as BWP8. Since the BWS-update-file is BWP8 now, all or many things are messed up. (BWS searches for updates by the chapter-number, so the imoen-chapter was used by Edwin before.)

@Headbanger: I think Ascalon said something about a V5 with an english translation, but I do not know how far they made it until today. -- Urgh, sorry. So it was you.

The BWS is using the bats, but it is gathering the files for you, so download and unpacking are done for you.
You would not believe how many people have problems with extracting mods.
Although I must admit that double archives/installer and mods in subfolders are not that great, either.

[Jarno Mikkola]

In the first article it's said:

So the only way to install the BWP now is to do it without the Setup, using .bats only?

Well, it's said in the third post...

And the .bat's solution is for now, until the BWS v8 comes out.

[dabus]

Nope. I try to get rid of bats with the next release, not 8.

[Lollorian]

You mean there's gonna be no install.bat in BWP9??? OMG!!!

[dabus]

I don't do BWP Installpack.

The reason I started the BWS was to be able to select components, and you can't do that the way the batch is build now.
