Just a heads up concerning the BG2 Fixpack.

For stability reasons, you might be better off using this version than manually integrating new fixes into the tp2 on your own.

Using BiG World Fixpack v11 on BG2 Fixpack 9.13 produces the following so I suggest removing these fixes in the next version:

processing fixes for "bg2fixpack"

I get the following error with BiG World Fixpack v10.3.6 when patching iepbanters_v4:

processing fixes for "iepbanters"

patching file `iepbanters\dialogue\banters.d'
patching file `iepbanters\setup-iepbanters.tp2'
patch: **** malformed patch at line 7: VERSION ~4~

The error isn't written to BiG World Debug.txt.

What the patch wants
-VERSION ~4~
+VERSION ~4 BWP Fix~

what's inside the patch file
VERSION ~4~
+VERSION ~4 BWP Fix~

10th

This little error is still present in BiG World Fixpack v11.

Viconia's stutter fix is already in the BWPFixpack v11 Here's Mazzy's fix

... along with pretty much whatever I collected till now (haven't crosschecked whether they're already inside the fixpack though ) Most of these can be found in Suslik's playthrough thread and in various GitHub repos being updated As well as IR's latest hotfixes...

Please do not use unpublished GitHub commits as BWP Fixes unless specifically advised to do so.

These are development versions and may suffer from stability issues. While probably fine for personal testing, I wouldn't advise using them in a megamod game.

Well, what fixes do you want from the github branch?

Well, what fixes do you want from the github branch?

At this time, using the most recent BG2 Fixpack build from GitHub is probably better than using the last official version. Same goes for BG2 Tweaks.

As for aTweaks/RR/WSR, please wait for the official updates and don't use the GitHub builds.

[Lollorian]

Ah sorry about not replying sooner

For all it's worth, that's exactly why I didn't upload the latest github commits for aTweaks and RR As for the WSR commit, it looked like a genuine fix and it's the first ccommit after 1.05 went final so

Lots of beefy stuff on the BG2Fixpack and Tweakpack btw

[aVENGER]

As for the WSR commit, it looked like a genuine fix and it's the first ccommit after 1.05 went final so

It is a genuine fix. However, having people use that version would cause unnecessary confusion later on in case more changes are added in the next full-fledged release.

The situation is a bit different with the BG2 Fixpack/Tweakpack since we have an intermediate version numbering system in place that allows us to determine which GitHub release people are using by simply glancing at their WeiDU.log. These versions are created specifically with public testing in mind while aTweaks/RR/WSR commits are not. They are published because it's easier for me and Wisp to work together like that, not because we want other people to use unfinished and untested versions of our mods.

[William Imm]

Well, do you think that specific fix should be included in the fixpack? I think it would...

[aVENGER]

No, because a new release of WSR is imminent.

BTW, without meaning to sound offensive, when a mod author politely asks someone not to release a part of his work that is not intended for public use (yet), it should be enough incentive to stop doing it without any further explanation or justification on the author's part.

Right, then.

I've seen most of the patches in the BWPFixpack change the VERSION tag to contain "BWP Fix" or somesuch in it I'm with you in that the github repos need to examined and fixes separated from tweaks/new features before being included into the BWPFixpack and will make sure of that when upload stuff - I speak only for myself though

Also, there's been no intimation about the upcoming release of the next WSR until you mentioned it just now, so William was kinda right in asking

Let me be perfectly clear on this.

As long as a mod is activelly maintained by the author, there is zero reason to release any "unofficial fixes" for his work without his explicit permission. It is the author's sole right to decide when he will update his mod. Ignoring the author's wishes in this matter would be highly disrespectful. It would also be an excellent way to demotivate the author from producing any more work in the future.

(This awesome stuff is very complex for me to comprehend and debug)



Currently wish to use the Big World Fix Pack, but I am not sure how to proceed. Is there a document or an excel sheet which mentions

Sr.No - mods(arranged in Big World Project mod order) - Fix Pack required (Yes/No) - Time Stamp (when updated with status) - Link

Thanks.

Weeelll... no?
Just run the batch and you are done.
If you want to know the fixes, look into the folder-structure. You can see the mods that are affected (if they exist in your BG2-folder) and there are a few documents that tell you which fixes are used.

Attached IR's newest hotfixes (28 May 2012) along with the 2 typos reported by F-man (#1 #2) - there were some items that were exactly identical to those distributed by IRv3 so I removed them

Also, I hope a new BWPFixpack is in the works cause the amount of stuff now is TOO DAMN HIGH

And also, IRv3 seems to need this store fix as well so you guys might wanna add that
