As promised, the new reindexer for SPL and ITM files from this post is committed Let's break some more shit

[Lollorian]

Small addition to the majestic creature fuxer - it will now assign the Gibberling animation to all creatures that do not have an animation assigned from the ANIMATE.IDS (so BG2Fixpack is essential for this part to work properly on a vanilla BG2 install)

 

Reference code here - this will prevent crashes

Fantastic - some really good ideas make you wonder why nobody had them before.

... that do not have an animation assigned from the ANIMATE.IDS ...

It's obviously time for me to go and remove all the town resident ids'ed from that file.

[Lollorian]

Well I've updated the lolfixer's own repo (about time) and added a kickass readme based on this post to detail exactly what the hell it does

 

PS: The lolfixer might soon become independant of the BWPFixpack

@Lollorian, apply this fix to the SCS's lib_macro.tpa...

Done

BG2EE full Tactical pre-selection BWFixpack issues report:

 

1. running BiG World Fixpack.bat does not copy res_fixer and lolfixer to game directory

 

2. running BiG World Fixpack.bat pauses twice (start and end message) because BW Installpack and BW Smoothpack are not present

 

3. vampiretales:

 

  patching file `vampiretales\american\CMGMIRIJ.tra'

  Hunk #1 FAILED at 47.

  1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to vampiretales\american\CMGMIRIJ.tra.rej

 

  patch attempts to add '<' to CHARNAME tag on line @49, but this is no longer necessary (the author fixed this)

 

4. alora:

 

  patching file `SETUP-alora.tp2'

  Hunk #1 FAILED at 8.

  1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to SETUP-alora.tp2.rej

 

  patch attempts to change version '1.3' to '1.5 BWP fix' but Alora is now version 1.5

  the other patch for bcmalor.d is still working

[Lollorian]

Guess I need to update my shit I just merged all the URL updates you made in the bp-test branch into master - might wanna review it in case something slipped by

 

Also, BWPFixpack thread

[Lollorian]

Could you look for a C!PP29.ITM in your BG2 override folder and upload it somewhere please It's something related to the invalid ability removal code.

For the MALAR10.BCS thing, grab the latest NearInfinity and extract it to your BG2 folder, run it and navigate to BCS -> MALAR10.BCS and paste the contents of the file here.

Also post WeiDU.log contents (should be in your BG2 folder)

 

It might take a while to debug though so if you're ok with it, you can skip the lolfixer installation and continue your game.

[Mike1072]

A cludgy fix is to remove C!PP29.ITM and CDPP29.ITM from the override folder and replace the version of DW#MELRI.ITM in the override folder with the one in cdtweaks/backup/2150.

 

(If you later need to uninstall or reinstall a mod that was installed before Tweaks Anthology, be sure to put the original ITM files back.)

[Arm-chair]

Thank you, it fixed problem with C!PP29.ITM! But not with MALAR10.BCS. Maybe if I hadn't installed Wheels of Prophecy, lolfixer wouldn't crash?

[Mike1072]

No, that's probably a different error.

[Lollorian]

How can I skip the installation, if BWS refuses to skip this mod? 

Might wanna ask the BWS guys to make this mod (or just that component) optional if it isn't being installed reliably.

What file (there are three files) in NearInfinity I must extract and run?

NearInfinity-20160812.zip 
 
Had a look at your C!PP29.ITM and it's so malformed that NearInifnity refuses to open it. Using a hex editor let me see that the effect & ability header regions seem to overlap.

@Lollorian It was Wheels of Prophecy item issue which was fixed in the lastest version

Ok Is there a post about what causes this?

It's not really that they overlap, but that they are/can be just set in different order and if a function that would edit it doesn't read the offset markers as they are, but assumes that they always stay in the x first then y, and they are y first and then x, there's a whole lot of trouble as the two are different lengths.

Mike said this here:

Technically, dw#melri.itm is fine in v5, it's just using a non-standard ordering (effects before abilities). Rather than changing the file again, I've fixed the component in Tweaks that was tripping up on items with non-standard orderings [link].

I would assume that making a weidu comparison of the items effect offset and ability offset's values would allow to see in which order those are, and burn everything to the ground so a new, a better things could be raised from the ashes.

Ah understood Someone needs to make the lolfixer use this

[Arm-chair]

Hey, I've managed to open  MALAR10.BCS. It's here:https://drive.google...OUY0Z0hTcDhZUWs

[Lollorian]

Wierd, your error:

[MALAR10.BCS.BAF] PARSE ERROR at line 6 column 1-30
Near Text: SNOW_TROLL
    syntax error

seems to suggest there should be a "SNOW_TROLL" somewhere in there.

 

Also, MALAR10.BCS comes from Reign of Terror not Wheels of Prophecy and the MALAR10.BAF exactly matches the one provided in RoT (which implies that either nothing modified it or that your ANIMATE.IDS has FIRE_RING & SNOW_TROLL pointing to the same index)

 

You can use NearInifnity (or any text editor) to verify your ANIMATE.IDS (should be in your override)
