The current fixes for Tales of Anegh mod can be taken out of the BWP Fixpack: The BWP Fixpack v.9.4.1 fixes for Tales of Anegh are included into the new version 2.1 that is now online. This should also fix the CtD that was reported and discussed here.
Thank you!

[Lollorian]

For the next Ficpack The correct BWP tactics patch (with proper NULLing)

EDIT: Also attaching Hoppy's recent TDD and CtB hotfixes related to area crashes

Time for moar fixes

Gavin_BG2 -> mentioned here

Kiara-Zaiya -> similar to Gavin at line 567

ToA -> the cutscene mentioned here should run properly now (also v2.1 gobbled up the english translation somehow if you consider reupping with the english tra's, please consider including this setup.tra )

Also, waiting for a reply regarding this seemingly freaky block of code from LR

@Lollorian

Thank you for your tireless efforts in creating fixes. I provisional see through the fixpack until someone is found who is willing to service this. So I look here into this thread from time to time.

However I neither know what is wrong with the tactics.tp2 nor can I use your patch because it is not created correctly. Please don't try to create any patches but post the new file instead. I will create the patches myself.

[ScuD]

Guys, FYI - Dark Horizons 2.05 for BGT was released and it contains all BWP fixes and more.
The original discussion was here. There just was no any official announcement about version 2.05 for BGT (as I understand it is still 2.04 for Tutu).

[Lollorian]

Wow it's the BiG man himself

I provisional see through the fixpack until someone is found who is willing to service this.

(but does that mean Leomar is officially out?? )

However I neither know what is wrong with the tactics.tp2 nor can I use your patch because it is not created correctly.

I swear I just edited the BWPFixpack v9.4.1 file no new patch

But yea, it's seriously borked But the problem still exists in the v9.4.2 fixpack So without further ado ... MOAR IMAGES!!!
This is the BWPFicpack v9.4.2 tactics2 patch ... note the spaces between the ~~'s


And this is the original tactics.tp2 block that the above fixpack block checks for ... as you can see, the ~~'s are full of NULLs and the fixpack won't patch the .tp2 cause it can't find the block in the .patch

(The pics are taken in Notepad++ btw )

PS: Have you had a go at patching this?? (the first attachment in that post)

Thanks for pointing out the missing state checks in BG2 Gavin. It won't break anything as it stands, but it's now on the fix-it list for the mod. I'm probably going to be versioning up soon due to mod NPC inclusion in L1NPC, so I'll incorporate CRE, ITM and state check fixes then.

[Leonardo Watson]

I agree that the Setup-Tactics.tp2.patch looks very strange, however, I think it is correct: The problem with the Tactics.tp2 file is, that it is not saved as a text file, but as a hexadecimal code instead.

If you compare the original Tactics.tp2 with the resulting one after applying the patch you will see it is correctly patched. This patch works for about two years and noone has ever reported any bug with it! However; I don't know why there are these NULLs at all. Maybe someone finds it worth enough to overhaul this tp2.

And yes, Leomar is out. But who knows what will be in future?

[Lollorian]

Well, I'll take your word for it but this is my experience

Running the BWPFixpack v9.4.2 on just Tactics v25 extracted in a clean folder gives this on the fixpack console:

processing fixes for "tactics2"

patching file `tactics2\nforest\scripts\drake01.BAF'

8 out of 55 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to Setup-Tactics.tp2.rej

(also attached the fixpacked tactics.tp2)

I did try to convert the .tp2 to make WeiDU pad the NULLs ... guess its time to nudge the guys at PPG again ]

Anyway, I've also attached a master tactics.tp2 containing all the BWP fixes, the padding from the above link AND BPv180 compatibility changes along with a bonus README tag ... and to top it off, all the extra spaces at the end of each line are now GONE!!!

... and why am I making a big deal out of it?? I have no friggin idea ...

EDIT:

And yes, Leomar is out. But who knows what will be in future?

Damn! I can't believe I missed that! Hope all's well with both him and White Agnus

I'll miss his "Greetings Leomar"

I was hope, that was a temporary... but. This is really bad news.

[dabus]

Yes, Leomar is absent for some time, but if Leomar said he'd be out, that'd be more than I heard.
I mean, I have not received any mail since a month ago, but he neither told he was leaving for good nor when he'd be able to return.

[Fennek]

@Lollorian: I remember that somebody else was away for some time... Cough... Cough...
White Agnus however... He's well, as far as I know, but it would be really nice if he had said something regarding the mods he was looking after (Tales of Anegh etc.).

[Lollorian]

@Lollorian: I remember that somebody else was away for some time... Cough... Cough...

Whoever it was, I think Starcraft II had something to do with it

White Agnus however... He's well

That's awesome

@ToA: We always have the BWPFixpack

@ToA: We always have the BWPFixpack

I am updating ToA currently, if there is another issue (other than the proof reading of the English version) please contact me.

@Lollorian

I cannot install your Setup-Tactics.tp2 because of an error:

[SETUP-TACTICS.TP2] PARSE ERROR at line 2039 column 1-40
Near Text: #6
	GLR parse error

[SETUP-TACTICS.TP2]  ERROR at line 2039 column 1-40

	Parsing.Parse_error
ERROR: parsing [SETUP-TACTICS.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error
ERROR: problem parsing TP file [SETUP-TACTICS.TP2]: Parsing.Parse_error

caused by this:

REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MONHP1~   ~~ #6
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MINHP1~   ~~ #6
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~TROLLDIE~ ~~ #8

I don't know how it should be right.

[Lollorian]

Damn Looks like I should've paid closer attention to the WeiDU doc (confirmed with similar code in BGT )

Corrected code segment:

REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MONHP1~   ~~ (6)
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MINHP1~   ~~ (6)
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~TROLLDIE~ ~~ (<img src='http://www.shsforums.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />

Sorry for the trouble!

EDIT: The BGT code seems to have ""s instead of ~~s so this is sure to work if the above blurb fails too

REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MONHP1~   "" (6)
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~MINHP1~   "" (6)
      REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~TROLLDIE~ "" (<img src='http://www.shsforums.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8)' />
