I love the new BWS Beta! When it gets to Au3RunFix at tob_hack it crashes. Or at least when I restart it after it crashes it says "Would you like to proceed with Au3RunFix at tob_hacks?" When I restart BWS it crashes again just after starting. I can't find a file called Au3RunFix.

I believe the last version has a bit of testing code leftover, I had to edit it on dabus' instructions to get it working : Here

This is, after all, a beta

Thanks!

I am ok with Betas, so long as good people like you point the way to fixes!

[Helborn]

BTW - I can't deselect any of the bg2fixpack options? I normally skip the Cromwell's forging actually takes a day and the dagger mixed use.

[Chevalier]

Hi Helborn,

I agree that I don't normally install the components of the Fix pack, but all the gray components are required currently with this Beta.

[dabus]

They were installed with the BiG World Install.bat, so I transferred it.
If you want to remove them, search for the setup-name of your mod in BiG World Setup\Config\Mod.ini.
You have to search for [bg2fixpack], since setup- and .exe are stripped in the beta.

Look for the Type-key and remove the trailing F (for fixed) Type=R,S,T,E,F => Type=R,S,T,E
This way, the mod will be optional.

C:\BGII - SoA\BiG World Setup>cd /D "C:\BGII - SoA\"

C:\BGII - SoA>
Error during changing into directory C:\BGII - SoA\.
Exiting due to major problems.

Same Place as before, but still happens after I edit the file.

How/where can I remove/skip this this change of Dir and move on.


Could someone send me a working 09_Install.au3 file??

Thanks Tonton Fred!


It must be something else, because it didn't work.

[dabus]

Are you sure you got the latest version?
This was fixed in 20100320. And I uploaded another 4 versions after that.

The fault was in 12_Process.au3.
Adding the 3. line (StringReplace) should fix the problem.

Func _Process_ChangeDir($p_Dir, $p_Exit=0)
	Local $p_Answer[1]=[0]
	$g_ConsoleOutput = StringReplace($g_ConsoleOutput, 'cd /D', 'cd  /D') & @CRLF
	StdinWrite($g_STDStream, 'cd /D "'&$p_Dir&'"' & @CRLF)

Yes the latest version, it worked with the earlier install.


Here is my version of the file  12_Process.rar   4.08K   260 downloads It seems to have the necessary code.

Since it worked before I can try a new install.

Edit:

Well I did another install and left the first bug in (I removed it before starting the last time) and fixed it after the installer crashed. When I restarted the setup program worked fine.

[Helborn]

Is there a(n easy) way of adding mods that are not listed? I have fixed copies of Jonathan (WxWomJon), iikeynames, iiitems (highly modified). With install.bat, it's fairly easy to edit and add the necessary lines. What do I need to do for BWSetup? Just edit the mod.ini?

[Helborn]

But this does not appear to affect the download. saw the "premature end of string" error a number of times

[dabus]

You can ignore that.

wget does not correctly handle trailing whitespace after the last ; in
a Set-Cookie tag. This causes it to spew repeated `premature end of
string' errors with some web sites generated by Cold Fusion.

If someone has a patched and compiled win32-version of wget, feel free tell me where to get it.

I Love the new setup GUI program!

It is great that the program can be paused. I like the color coding of the mods and even each of the components. With a few changes this version of the of the BWP/BWS everyone will use.

I believe with a few changes this will become the standard way all mods get instilled. First I think all grayed mods should be uncheckable. Second all components of each mod should be selectable.

Point one, Many people would use the setup program to install non-MegaMods. They could still be pre-selected even with a minimum install. People should be able to make there own choices (even bad ones).

Point two, Some mods have the same components (like SCS & SCS II) and if both mods are installed it would be better to use one over the other, but some players (like myself) might chose to install only one of the mods. Also some players might be used to using a component from the tweak pack and not one from MixMod.

It would be cool to add Bladesinger to the kit mods.

[Tonton Fred]

I think all grayed mods should be uncheckable.

While I understand the logic behind the fixed mods/components, I would agree that forcing the install can be annoying in some cases, especially since some of the fixed components could be replaced or altered by other components.

For example, some of ToBEX's hacks overlap those of Taimon's ToB Hacks, but are disabled by default. I could actually enable the overlapping hacks in ToBEX by editing the .ini and not installing the corresponding ToB Hacks components. But the BWP does not allow to do that, since Tobhacks is of fixed type.
BG2 Fixpack component 103 should not be installed together with Item Revisions, which handles dual-use daggers differently. I'm sure there are other examples, but since BWP's ambition is to allow for maximum flexibility while maintaining compatibility, maybe a warning screen similar to the one used for expert mods could do the trick ?

Warning : you have chosen not to install one or more Minimal mods 
(list of affected components). 

Such an install will likely result in an 
unstable or unbalanced configuration. etc 

Go back / Proceed

EDIT : looks like a new version is up.

All components:
Uh, well, I think if you want to test the missing stuff no one will try to stop.

Fixed components:
I don't know. You can have selectable components in fixed mods. I already told Leomar that this is possible and in some time this may be added.

New version:
Well, it's not tested. I did some proof-reading, tested the functions itself but I did not run a live-test.
I just did not have enough time.

You may also want to read the BiG World Setup\Doc\FAQ.txt.
I added this yesterday and described how to remove fixed mods or add components.
It's not completely done, but you get the idea.

[Tonton Fred]

New version:
Well, it's not tested.

But my dear dabus, that's what we're here for !

In my case, the BWS crashes as soon as I select any configuration other than Recommended :

Known issues: Changed dependency/conflict-functions are not tested yet.

It seems there is another glitch on reloading (you know I love saving and reloading ). Partially-fixed mods will become all-fixed if you reload a configuration (try with Tob_hacks, whose components 31 and 40 should not be fixed, as they are superceded by Spell Revisions 20 and 30, both included in the recommended configuration. That means anyone reloading a saved conf will trigger the following conflicts :

Fix the Mirror Image spell=C:Spell_Rev(20)>ToB_Hacks(31)>SCSII(1020)>SCS(40)
Fix the Dispel Magic spell=C:Spell_Rev(30)>ToB_Hacks(40)>SCSII(1030)>SCS(50)

Other conflicts that seem strange :

Triple-class HLA tables=C:bg2_tweaks(2300):RR(-)

RR's readme mentions that "G3 BG2 Tweak Pack (v9) [link] - fully compatible, should be installed after Rogue Rebalancing", the BWP PDF does not say anything about this either.

Happy Patch conflict=C:bg2_tweaks(3120|3121|3122|3123|3124):LostItems(-)

I believe it should be LostItems(4), as the other components have nothing to do with the Happy Patch.

I think you mentioned before that you just transcribed the dependencies & conflicts from the .BAT, in which case there might be discrepancies between the BWP PDF and BAT.

Cheers,
Fred

[dabus]

Well, basically this release was uploaded so Leomar could access files that I changed and I don't have to use WinMerge when updating the mods changes that he's in charge of. I have not looked at those dependencies for a while. So I guess he'll look after those mod-related stuff sooner or later.

[dabus]

In my case, the BWS crashes as soon as I select any configuration other than Recommended :

Open BiG World Setup\Includes\06_Depend.au3 and edit line 360 to:
Local $Test[$p_String[0]+1][50]

Checking for several possible conflicts failed because the size of the array I assumed some time ago was not "big" enough. Increasing from 10 to 50 will help.
