Yeah sure, it should pretty much fix everything in your BWP install that's remotely fixable by loops and conditions ^_^

Make sure you're using the latest BWPFixpack in your install though, I still haven't got around to implement the workaround for the thing that borked micbaldur's Lolfixer here :P The BWPFixpack's v11.2.3 and above already include the fixed CRE file so anyone with that fixpack can probably run this safely :D

(Also, the creature and area changes only affect stuff you haven't seen in the game yet i.e. aren't stored in your savegame :P)

PS: The MAJESTIC Spell Fixer component will fix your SPCL221 (and whatever other SPL) crashing btw ;)

Update time! LOTSA FAILSAFES NOW :woot:

The inventory unborker now checks every creature for items that are present but weren't found when you kill the creature because they weren't referenced by the inventory :P

In layman's terms, now you may find more crap items (arrows, gold and other shit stuff :D) among your kill spree loot! Another change this does is most creatures seemed to have HELMs that weren't in the inventory, so enemies might become more resistant to crithits now :P (code changes here)

Now the boring stuff, the lolfixer can now be safely installed on non-BWP installs (hopefully :unsure:) because of some added conditions that checks for mod stupidity (which is usually a non-issue in BWP installs because of the creature offset checker :P) - code here

And finally the only thing that stopped me recommending the lolfixer over the other global fixing stuff is now fixed :D Thanks to micbaldur (and ilot :P) for helping bring to light the SENDRO03.CRE fubar as seen here and followed up here... It can now be safely detected and fixed by the lolfixer's Res_fixer for ALL creatures component :cheers: (code here)

So now, yeah, this works people! :D

In celebration of this, I've bumped the version to 0.1B and will now be naming the lolfixer packages by date of upload :cheers:

EDIT: Next update a few posts below, new component and stuff and a small fix for WRITE_ASCIIs :P

Congrats on the new release! :cheers:

I've got some other stuff keeping me from running a game right now, but am planning a clean reinstall pretty soon and will certainly give your new mod a test spin when I do :lol2:

Actually... I don't wanna play with string references right now :lol: I may be adding/removing stuff as my current game warrants it or as people report freakiness so :P

Let's wait until maybe it becomes included in the BWP (which I'll only do once I complete the BGI part of my game without any hiccups :ROFL:)

Besides, would a translation for a debugging/fixing tool help? :unsure: I'll have trouble reading the output generated by the Setup-lolfixer-DEBUG-ONLY.bat if it was in Spanish :lol:

Game update:
I took on the assassin party of Molkar (or something like that) today :P (in a BoneHill area no less :D)

Anyway, thing to note - they drop some epic DSotSC gear:
Crystal Plate Mail (20% Cold, Fire Resist)
Ebon Helm (Immunity to Charm)

On equipping these though, I noticed their bonuses don't show up on the character portraits (and I'm like... I WANNA FEEL EPIC WITH 1 MILLION BONUSESES!!!1!one!) so I set out to create... THE PORTRAIT ICON ASSIGNER! :D (code and logs here)

How does it work?
It checks every item for its equipped bonuses and if it finds something that should display a portrait icon (resistances and immunities etc), it checks whether the icon is displayed. If not, it adds the icon :D

It works for acid, fire, cold, electric, poison and magic resistance and charm immunity for now... I'll add more as the need arises (atleast we got the basics covered right now :cheers:)

Here's before and after pics of it working on those DSotSC items I mentioned :P

Posted Image Posted Image


I didn't even know Viconia had something with Cold Resist equipped :ph34r: (which was her Small Shield +2 :P)

Also, the LolFixer now nulls out non-existent used up items and assigns default icons to item abilities that don't have an icon (the default icon chosen is the item's own inventory icon :))

Enjoy! But not too much now :ph34r:

EDIT: Some more portrait icons added and a bug squashed below :)

No portrait icon might be a result of the BG2 Tweaks component that removes most of them? Or the person who designed these items thought that resistance below 50% didn't warrant a portrait icon?

I never install that BG2Tweaks component :P I like my bonuses visible and in your face-y ^_^ It does kinda make sense that this component is the antithesis of that BG2Tweaks component :D

As for items not warranting icons, there are examples in the vanilla game that display an icon for +5% resist :lol: It just felt strange that some items showed up with icons while others didn't... my OCD doesn't let me ignore that :ROFL:

I love tons of tons of icons on character portraits as well! But I understand that it's sort of a contradictory desire and some people will definitely not want to cover their precious npc portraits by like 30 icon effects at the end of ToB.

Can you make the a different component that would remove the portrait icons but restore the statistic screen icons ? :crazy:
The reason for not having the portrait icons is the hit point indicator, the rising red tide... :twisted:

Now that's a truly legitimate disadvantage of having portrait icons filling up :P Didn't think of that... but then again, I have Auto-pause on Badly Wounded active so it never mattered to me :D

So I've added loops for Non-detection, Regeneration, Free Action, Luck Bonus (Good & Bad) and Haste to that component :devil: (I think that about covers every kind of item bonus that displays portrait icons)

Also fixed a slight boo boo with that loop (it failed to update the total effect count after adding a new effect :P) - Code stuffs here

Also to note, I'm almost gonna finish up on Secret of the BoneHill's first part now... And I'm actually pleasantly surprised I have ABSOLUTELY NO BUGS to fix! :coolthumb: (+1 faith on the lolfixer ^_^) - not even the NVLORs being reported in their forums recently! :w00t:

Considering my rather disastrous (but complete) original playthrough of the mod in 2006 (or something) I'm super impressed with whatever the SoBH team (and probably the BWP peeps) did to fix this :D

Nope, but then again you might not see it as you are Cursed... :devil: :twisted:

Prepare to suffer Lol, cause I'll be using your own words against you.

wanted to create some sort of similar fixer mod for the thousands of DLTCEP errors being reported in a BWP game

I'm trying to install your most recent lolfixer. I should not that I get a warning message when I start it up...

This is a non-stable version. Unless you're sure about what you're doing, consider downgrading.

Anyway, this log shows where I'm having problems.

[setup-lolfixer.exe] WeiDU version 23104
This is a non-stable version. Unless you're sure about what you're doing, consider downgrading.

This is because the Weidu.exe that's now the renamed as setup-lolfixer.exe is a beta version of the file... nothing more...

Installing [Creature Stuff - MAJESTIC Creature Fixer] [0.1B] should probably be before the [Creature Stuff - Inventory Cleaner... cause if the .cre files doesn't have a matching off sets at:
0x02a0  4 (dword)  Known spells offset
0x02a4  4 (dword)  Known spells count
0x02a8  4 (dword)  Spell memorization info offset
0x02ac  4 (dword)  Spell memorization info entries count
0x02b0  4 (dword)  Memorized spells offset
0x02b4  4 (dword)  Memorized spells count
0x02b8  4 (dword)  Offset to Item slots
0x02bc  4 (dword)  Offset to Items
0x02c0  4 (dword)  Count of Items
0x02c4  4 (dword)  Offset to effects
0x02c8  4 (dword)  Count of effects.
The above will happen.

@Chasington:
To elaborate more on what Jarno said, the BWP uses a custom-made beta version of WeiDU that's made with large installs (like the BWP) in mind :) The stable version is currently v23100 and the most recent beta is v23105 (which does have a few problems :unsure:)

v23104 hits the safe spot just right :D

And about your DAVAEO.CRE error, could you please grab Nearinfinity from here.
Then run it inside your BGII-SoA folder, open the CRE branch and look for DAVAEO.CRE.
Right-click DAVAEO.CRE and Export it to somewhere.
Then please attach it here (if the forum doesn't allow attaching CREs, you can zip/rar/7z to fool the forums :P)

But before that, could you give what Jarno said a try? :)

Skip Inventory Overhauler and directly install the MAJESTIC Creature Fixer, then [Q]uit the setup.
Then re-run the stup and install the Inventort Overhauler and tell us if it stops borking :P (I'll change the order of the components in the next lolfixer package if this works :cheers:)

The man himself! I did skip Inventory Overhauler, install the rest,
go back, and try and reinstall the Inventory Overhauler; to no avail.

I'll try what you said right away...

...Okay here is your file, and thanks for the help!

Thanks for that! Found the problem as well ^_^

Your DAVAEO.CRE is loaded brotha! :D All 16 of his inventory slots are filled and he wears POTN02 (a potion) as a belt and WAND02 (a wand... who would've guessed :lol:) as an amulet :D So lolfixer is stupid and shit so it tries to move it into the next free inventory slot (which calculates to slot #17)... which DOESN'T EXIST :ROFL:

I'll have to add checks to make sure the last inventory slot is 16 :lol: Sorry for the trouble! I'll fix her up and upload a package after it installs fine on my end :)
