Here is Infinity Core 0.01, a C# tool based on InfinityExplorer.

- Currently in progress, many points remain unknown: simple GUI like NearInfinity or more user friendly like ShadowKeeper/InfinityExplorer? Complete Area screen or just data in a grid? Display all EFFs? etc.
- ARE, VVC, WAV, WED: not yet viewable
- Make sure to have weidu.exe in your BG2 directory

Let me know your ideas to improve it

Note: everything is open source of course, can post codes if someone is interested...
 
InfinityCore v0.01b
-------------------
- Ask for BG2 - SoA folder
- Bookmark implemented: A/ Crtl + Shift + {0-9} to bookmark, or Crtl + Shift + D; B/ Ctrl + {0-9} to go to bookmark (or use menu)
- Multi-Windows (ALT + click)
- Cannot make autoscroll working to goto the required rectangle of a picture; C# component stupid.  
 
* Technical part:
- Start to get away from pseudo-coding by contract, it's a real burden; now use DDD
- Use of ShadowInfExp.dll, it's the data acces layer of InfExp that I wrapped on a Delphi 7 dll. Missing libs were replaced by my owns. This dll is used to resolve 2 points: A/ turn .BAM and .MOS in .BMP dueto the very very very slow C# SetPixel() method; B/ to avoid to implement the useless .TIS decoder (coz' not compatible with BG:EE
- Note: Seems to potentially have a memory in InfExpl. Fixed in ShadowInfExp.dll

I try to make a simulator engine, here is its first release.

With it, you can play a dialog as in the game. Here is how I test with Saerileth:

- choose Temple District area (AR0900.ARE)

- create game

- execute first condition/response block (should be the creation of Saerileth, otherwise move the exec cursor to this condition/response block)

- make sure that the trigger are satisfied (or popup menu on the row, then force execute the condition/response)

- Saerileth should be created and add to the creatures in game, her scripts too.

- goto her condition response where she dialogs with you (should be her first C/R block)

- force execute or make sure triggers are satisfied

=> the dialog simulator shows

 

- you can then force play from a state (popup menu) or press space to play the dialog as ingame; you could also modify the triggers result.

 

Here are 2 screenshots and the read.me

Thanks a lot for your support Miloch   :D

 

 

version 0.01f:

- Fix a boring bug: when opening a .CRE with its portrait in /portraits folder, InfinityCore could crashes

- Add .BS resource

- Better GUI, correct minor mappings

- Get my hands on NearInfinity source; 3 sources to compare data/code (InfExpl, NearInf and IESDP) , have to make choice when they differ.

- Add consistency checks from NearInfinity

- Add export resources (not test much yet but should be fine)

 

Just see the new version of NearInfinity, suppose I have to check data mapping again...

 

[edit: ok, as usual, I published a wrong version   :D ]

Version 0.01h:

- tries to uniformize the GUI screen

- adds a binary tab for every resource (really useful for debugging and comprehension of the serialization)

- workaround for SetPixel found, improve loading time

- .NET garbage collector/memory consumption corrected

- Test units

- more NearInf features

- enhanced BAM screen: slow motion, reverse playing, transparent background; don't know if it is useful, it s just for fun  :lol2: 

- worldmap screen pre-visualization as ingame

 

Notes: I 'll be back for simulator, dialog part and others features, for now I will terminate the editor mode and EFF mapping (nearly 400 different effects...)

Well 

- currently I am implementing the edit features. You can see in this version (v0.02) tthe copy/cut/paste resource (try with an area)

- screens are more user friendly

- remove any simulator component (I think this part deserves its own tool)

- the search text box is now an Omnibox (like google, try type CARSO or AR0700)

- improve resource loading time 

 

- More important, everyone can help me: I need some beta testers for the edit features, everyone is welcome  ^_^ 

 
 
( Note: you should have weidu.exe in your BG2 folder )

I tried to run InfinityCore v0.02 in my "little" BWP game but it CTD and tries to send report to Microsoft.

 

Are there any additional requirements (other than weidu) to run InfinityCore?

Whenever I delete/rename my BG2/data/ folder I have a CTD too, and neither Near Infinity and InfExp can load BIF located in the folder.

 

So I supposed if one has a nice BG2/data/ it's fine for him

 

I don't know when this folder is filled (while playing the game?), I suppose we have to fill it to help these tools.

I come back as soon as possible whenever I find more about this folder

 

 

OK, FIXED

This is the good news for you micbaldur  :) 

It seems that chitin.key could references some missing bif files, but as far as I know, the game/Near Infinity/InfExpl/InfinityCore COULD NEVER LOAD them. That could imply a way to know if a mega install is trustfull or not -- In your case, this is the bad new: your mega install has a high probability to contain errors.

 

InfinityCore now writes these missing bifs in the log file; you can also see them by opening Chitin.Key in InfinityCore. Thanks a lot for your return, this was very important, and makes a better tool  :new_thumbs:

Sorry that i didn't noticed earlier that you have updated Infinitycore to v0.03.

 

But i also get CTD (like Miloch) with both vanilla BGII and my BWP expert-install with weidu.exe in both game folders.

 

Update:

Again didn't noticed something.you said.

 

Well i know that my BWP expert-install (over 300 mods) has bugs. It's something that i have accepted and learned to live with. It's only way i play this great game.

- Cannot find why there is CTD on vanilla BG2; however I turn a fatal error into an error while parsing IDS. Anyone else has a CTD on a vanilla BG2?

Found: I think you were trying to go to a bookmark with a CTRL+... at the very beginning; at this moment there are no selected control..., I fixed it

 

 

- I test with Weidu version 23300 (include in the zip)

 

- ARE, CHR, CRE, ITM, SPL, STO save are enable, seems fine with NearInf and InfExp

 

- DLG resources are displayed as InfExp, some states are missing, have to work this point now

Sorry i can't get this to work. I probably did some stupid thing (happens a lot).

 

I tried on vanilla BGII and now InfinityCore freezes when reading CHITIN.KEY. After half hour i closed the program.

Fantastic program! Thank you, Shadowlich!

It works of me without CTDs. I'll post my InfinityCore.log and WeiDU.log, if it can help you. It's 2 month old BiG World Install v12.1.1

Errors are mostly from dummy test bifs (desound.bif, progtest.bif & progtes2.bif) and duplicate IDs for *.IDS files.

Can these duplicated IDs break my game?

@micbaldur: I corrected some codes that could CTD... could you try please?
 
- thanks Mad Mate, I am pleased that you appreciate this tool and at least it works for some one  ^_^
 
- 10 bookmark with hotkey is definitively not enought; so I add 12 more: Ctrl + Shift + (0-9) and Ctrl + Shift + (F1-F12) to set, Ctrl + (0-9) and Ctrl + (F1-F12) to navigate to; Ctrl + D to set more bookmarks
- here is the improved dialog player; you can make choice as ingame and based on conditions (see the image)
