For my own game I have added this feature to ARAM00.bcs (could be put into fixpack?)

BWPFixpack'd (I saw a thread somewhere where you posted more blocks like this yes? Can integrate them if you point them out )

[Lollorian]

 Ascension EE - Stratagems stuff

snip

BWPFIxpack'd a modified version of this fix that uses the player1.tra in the ADD_JOURNAL itself rather on the TP2 load Would be great if someone can confirm this...

[agb1]

For anyone testing the latest fix:  Ascension EE is currently Expert for BG2EE so needs to be added to selection manually.  Ascension EE + SCS are the only mods necessary to test this.

[Ser Elryk]

* Spell Revisions v4 pre-release is now open to playtesters with the understanding that feedback is desired -- added to Maximized & Tactical pre-selections for BGEE and BG2EE

* Spell Revisions v4 component numbering has changed to be consistent with v3 (thanks Mike1072!) so BWS rules and component descriptions have been updated to match

* Item Revisions v4 link in BWS now correctly points to v4 forum

 

* Removed some unnecessary file existence checks for Fixpack sub-folder copying

 

Ser Elryk:  do you have an item_rev folder and a setup-item_rev.exe in your game directory?  I think I figured out the problem and it should be fixed with the change above.

 

Hey, sorry, I had to go run an errand. Do you still need those files?

[agb1]

I think we're OK, Ser Elryk.  I will run a test install soon to double check.

There was one for Isra in some discussion a while ago, but this is now adopted by the mod itself, i.e no further action required.

 

There was also some discussion in this thread http://www.shsforums...is-stuck-thread that a generic removal of all not transitioning NPCs could be included into ARAM000.bcs instead but this was found not to be feasible without a re-work of the BGT mod itself, so at the moment responsibility stays with the individual modders to take care of the transition or removal of their BG1 NPC in a BGT version of their mod.

[agb1]

* BGT:  Re-enabled Fixpack patches for Item Revisions and Spell Revisions (none currently)

* BG2EE:  Moved Ascension back to Recommended / Tactical pre-selection (latest Fixpack solved SCS install error)

I can verify that stratagems with Lollorian's patch installs fine. However i haven't used BWS nor i have played the game. I just copied the whole EE directory to a new directory, remove all installed mods up until stratagems and try to install component 1000.

I removed my "fix" and ran stratagems to verify that it will fail and indeed it fails because it doesn't find @314 message. Then i downloaded the patch from github, applied it and ran stratagems again and it installs fine. Tested with linux weidu and native linux version of BG2EE.

Khelban, thanks for testing! Since you are playing on Linux, do you by any chance have a converted version of the Fixpack batch script? subtledoctor has been asking for an OS X version of the Fixpack script, and I think a Linux shell script would be almost (if not exactly) the same.

Do you mean "Big World Fixpack.bat" ? If yes, no i haven't converted it.

I had only written a shell script some time ago that tolowered the Fixpack directory and ran the sed utility to change the patch files so that they can be applied on linux. (I don't remember very well but i think that the \ backslash as directory separator and the "C:\" part in "C:\BWP Patch Studio" made the patch utility not find any file to patch)

The BASH shell that exists on pretty much any linux/bsd system (and i guess in OS X too) is very powerful so it should be easy to implement in bash anything the batch file does. I took a look at the file but i don't understand everything it does.

[agb1]

Khelban, thanks for pointing out the pathname issue.  Can you share your sed script?  Maybe someone else can take it and look into doing the rest of the batch script conversion for the Fixpack.

 

Another BWS update:

 

* BG2EE:  Corrected installation order for Ascalon's Breagar (mod is BGEE/BG2EE/EET compatible, if installed with EET should be installed in BG2EE directory after EET)

[zonx]

* Removed Ninja Waki Fix patch for Item Revisions (now included in the mod itself)

* BG2EE:  BG2 Tweaks 2270 (bard spell progression table) removed from all pre-selections

 

Reported Imoen Romance issue on the mod's forum:  http://imoen.blindmo...&t=6151&p=12049

 

zonx, can you run a weidu --change-log on SAREV25J.DLG?

 

Using --change-log I tracked the issue down to tashia NPC. Specifically the TOB components.

 

Full bg2ee tactical preset install with tashia SoA only installed fine, instead of tashia full version.

[vanatos]

Hello i am the coder for the Imoen Romance mod.

 

Thank you very much zonx for narrowing down the mod in conflict.

 

I have posted the issue on the Tashia forum section of the actual dialogue change problem.

 

http://www.shsforums...en-romance-mod/

 

I am not sure how big world setup and other mods work and who maintains what so i will just quote my reply here

 

 

Tashia has a conflict with the Imoen Romance mod.

 

I tracked down the issue, the modification of finsol01 state 28 is the problem.

 

In the tashi25j. there is this line of code.

 

Tashia Code

 

REPLACE FINSOL01

  IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 28

    SAY @39

    IF ~Global("TashiaRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)~ THEN EXTERN tashi25j rom1

    IF ~!Global("TashiaRomanceActive","GLOBAL",2)~ THEN EXTERN FINSOL01 TashiaAdd1

  END

END

 

this replaces the Vanilla dialogue state in the retail code.

 

Retail Code

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN 28 // from: 27.0

  SAY #67885 /* ~The time has come to make your choice, Bhaalspawn. What is your wish?~ [SOLAR102] */

  IF ~GlobalLT("PPEvilChoices","GLOBAL",2)

~ THEN REPLY #68063 /* ~I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes.~ */ DO ~SetGlobal("PlayerChoseEssence","GLOBAL",1)

~ GOTO 31

  IF ~GlobalGT("PPEvilChoices","GLOBAL",1)

GlobalLT("PPEvilChoices","GLOBAL",4)

~ THEN REPLY #68064 /* ~I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes.~ */ DO ~SetGlobal("PlayerChoseEssence","GLOBAL",1)

~ GOTO 30

  IF ~GlobalGT("PPEvilChoices","GLOBAL",3)

GlobalLT("PPEvilChoices","GLOBAL",6)

~ THEN REPLY #68065 /* ~I will retain the essence of Bhaal that is my right and become a power of the planes.~ */ DO ~SetGlobal("PlayerChoseEssence","GLOBAL",1)

~ GOTO 29

  IF ~~ THEN REPLY #68066 /* ~I do not want the essence of Bhaal. Do what you will with it... I want to remain mortal.~ */ GOTO 32

END

 

 

As you can see the transitions have been removed so there is only 2 instead of 4.

 

So any mod that tries to modify the original transitions will cause an error.

 

A quick and dirty solution to at least get past the install problem is to install Imoen Romance BEFORE Tashia, although that does mean the Tashia ending will completely replace (or remove) the Imoen Romance end solar talks and epilogues and Imoen will just get her vanilla ones.

Thanks vanatos for your help with the Tashia conflict!  Also thanks to JediMindTrix and White Agnus for the latest EE-compatible Ascension update with components renumbered to match the original BGT Ascension.

Latest BWS updates:

* BGT:  Tashia #0 marked Expert until this is fixed:  http://www.shsforums...od/#entry584449

* Ascension for EE updated (components 0&1 merged, other components renumbered)
* BG2EE:  Ascension marked Expert (needs testing & no stable download link -- BWS using GitHub master branch)

At the very end of the install I saw "The "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition" folder you entered does not contain the expected folder-structure. Please select the folder containing the Baldur.exe." which seems strange, might need to test again. It had done everything else and I was expecting it to compile the big world logs.7z file (but instead showed this error).

Khelban, thanks for pointing out the pathname issue.  Can you share your sed script?  Maybe someone else can take it and look into doing the rest of the batch script conversion for the Fixpack.

Not many use linux/osx so i put it in spoiler so that the thread is not hijacked with linux stuff and anyone who does not care about it can quickly ignore my post and read further posts.

Spoiler

 

find . -type d ! -perm 755 -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -name "*.patch" -print -exec sed -i -e "1,2s#\\\\#/#g" -e "1,2s#C:/BWP Patchstudio/patched files/##g" -e "1,2s/\(.*\)/\L\1/" {} \;

It isn't something special.

The first find command sanitizes the directory permissions so we can write (i needed it in the past with the 7z archive of some BWP revisions). The second find command does 3 modifications in patch files.

The first modification changes every appearance of backslash \ to forward slash / but only for the first two lines so it only catches the diff header and not the patch content.

The second modification erases the path "C:/BWP Patchstudio/patched files/" from the diff header so that patch is not confused. Actually i just tested it with patch-2.7.5 and it can apply the patches fine so this part isn't needed.

The third modification lowercases everything in the diff header so that patch can find the relevant files.

Does OS X have find and GNU sed (the third modification needs GNU sed) ?

I remember facing two problems trying to automate the patching and installing on linux.

a) Line endings.
For some of the BWP patches i needed to run patch with the "--binary" option, while others can be applied normally. So for every patch i needed to dry-run it two times with and without binary option to see which worked.

b) Do stuff from batch files.
Some mods use batch files that use AT_EXIT or something and run batch files to convert .ogg files to .wav or convert tiz files. Some of them only account for windows and not do anything in other OSes and some others use WEIDU_OS to distinguish between windows and osx but not linux.

Some examples i remember from the top of my head:

Assassinations, Dungeon crawl have been updated to use the HANDLE_AUDIO function and run correctly on linux (and everywhere else).

Eilistraee copies the whole audio folder to override and then runs two batch files to convert/delete the files.

One would have to look at all (at least older unmaintained mods that were created long before linux/osx weidu) mods supported by the BWS and change them to incorporate these "newer" functions so that they work 100% on linux/osx.

This is a lie, the Battleguard of Tempus -kit and Priest of Tempus -kit are two very different things, and their codes are totally different. I should know, I reproduced one of those in my mod(based on TDD) while the other didn't exist yet(nor did the EE games). Nor this profile.

The next thing you do is make the TDD not able to install it's kits to EE games cause 2 of them already exist in the game and have very different coding. Ouh, and NEJ have Cleric of Tempus too.

Ar0602 is best known as Irenicus Dungeon and thus is BG2 and this code is aimed at an item in the dungeon and not at BG1.
