@Lollorian - I changed it to just Setup-BWS.tp2 and it will look like this:

 

// Log of Currently Installed WeiDU Mods

// The top of the file is the 'oldest' mod

// ~TP2_File~ #language_number #component_number // [Subcomponent Name -> ] Component Name [ : Version]

~SETUP-WEIDU.TP2~ #0 #0 // 23800

~SETUP-BWS.TP2~ #0 #0 // 20150812 - Updated by Silent (installation date Thu 11/19/2015)

~SETUP-BWFIXPACK.TP2~ #0 #0 // BiG-World-Fixpack-master.zip

@agb1: Time isn't necessary (sorry I mentioned timestamp earlier) Just the date in a readable format

Erhm, just blame this on The Imp... see it was trying to make a bad joke on the accuracity of the current timers-with the contrary -nano second accuracity... and it failed badly, now it's cursing it's existance in the corner .. but being a devil, it will recover easily. Or it's summoning something.
Ouh, there it comes, ouh this is bad:
-I am sorry agb1.

Great THANK YOU for the latest BWS version

Much improved, almost no manual intervention needed** after mod selection for my BGT mega-install (my own selection, none of the customs). Did a 46GB biffed installation overnight without error and I started the game right away. Very good - the problems will now keep coming but not from the BWS.

 

**only some mods not downloadable - but that is due to their hosting system still needing intervention (those are irrelevant ones anyway, skipped without much loss)

[agb1]

Glad it worked well for you roxanne.  Which particular mods did you have trouble downloading?

[Roxanne]

Glad it worked well for you roxanne.  Which particular mods did you have trouble downloading?

Is that in one of the logs (I ran BWS in debug mode)?

I cannot remember by heart, but they are minor one I will not miss, that is why I did not even care to collect them manually.

 

Found this

Huple NPC: The Mod itself (Huple_NPC_1.4.rar)**
Polytweak: The Mod itself (Polytweak_v2.0.rar)**
Lester NPC: The Mod itself (Lester_NPC_v0.8.zip)
Full Plate and Packing Steel: The Mod itself (fullplate-v2.2.zip)**
WTP Familiars for Throne of Bhaal: The Mod itself (WTPFamiliars1_55.zip)
Rukrakia NPC: The Mod itself (1309492052_rukrariav.08.7z)
** Loading from the website requires manual interaction.

You should be able to find it in the BiG World Setup Debug.txt ... yes, it's a rather large file.

Edit, well, I got ninjaed.

My quote above is from

 

BiG World Download Debug

 

more appropriate for this topic, talking of failed downloads.

[Nightfarer]

Rukrakia: the download is nowhere to be found, at least last time I checked.

 

Me I got it (and turned it into english as well) because Leonardo passed me the file, long time ago. But, as I'm without my pc, I don't have it at hand.

 

Micbaldur should have the 0.8 archive because I remember I passed him a download link for his current BWP install.

 

It might be Lollorian have the archive as well as Micbaldur. I do not remember

I am not really searching for these mods - my report was aimed at improving BWS, here: not interrupt the automated downloads for such mods that are known for similar issues for some time already (I have seen some of those on my list already in other user's reports)

[Nightfarer]

Hi Roxanne. Yes, I know what was your aim.

 

There was an implicit suggestion in what I said For Rukrakia, it could be done the same as for TS25MiniMod. Someone who has the mod at hand could upload it somewhere... that can be handled by BWS

[Lollorian]

What mods do you want uploaded? I can upload it to my google drive or someshit Meanwhile, grab Rukraria v0.8 from here

 

@agb1: Many thanks! That will help lots

Edited by Lollorian, 20 November 2015 - 07:57 AM.

[Nightfarer]

Well, Lollorian.

 

Rukrakia Mod: short story is: months ago, when I talked to the mod author letting him know I was turning it into english, he told me to do whatever I want with it (the mod) because it's unmantained for long time and he is not going to maintain it.

 

The idea was basically to upload the vanilla mod somewhere that can be handled by BWS, or to release an updated version that includes the BWP Fixpack patches (including the last post of Micbaldur, RUKNPCBR.BCS) and english translation.

[Lollorian]

Ah ok... About time you join github eh, Nightfarer?

[Nightfarer]

Yeah, it's literally what he told me. I could have pasted his email

 

Eh, I guess so, Lollorian   But will have to wait for next month (I should get my pc back, finally and hopefully   so I may as well go on with job).

[eXistenZe]

As for PaintBG, I really thought that was fixed now, sorry for the trouble! If you want to work around this in your local copy of BWS, open the file Config/BG2EE/Select.txt and add ";;;;D:PaintBG(0)" without the quotes to the end of each of the CMD lines that include PaintBG (append to the end of each of those lines). That will make those lines conditional on PaintBG being selected for your install.

After that change, you can resume your install by modifying Config/Setup.ini and replacing the lines under [Order] with the lines under [Order-Install] lower in the same file. The [Order] section is the one that tells BWS what to do when you restart the program; the other sections are examples for reference / copy-paste. Also the [Order] section is automatically rewritten by BWS whenever you run it, so don't worry about keeping whatever lines were there before.

 

Edit: I remembered incorrectly - the PaintBG lines don't end in a semicolon, so I added ;;; to the paragraph above.

 

Update 2:  I just checked the batch script again and it doesn't give me any errors.  Check if your Config/BG2EE/Select.txt has %F or %%F for the PaintBG lines.  It should have %% if you are using the latest BWS.  If you have %% in Select.txt, what version of Windows are you using?  If you have single %, get the latest from here:  https://bitbucket.or.../get/master.zip  (this link always points to the most up-to-date BWS)

Is has %%F. Using win10.

[agb1]

Is has %%F. Using win10.

 

Please paste the following lines into a file called test.bat and run it anywhere on your computer from a command prompt (cmd.exe) so it doesn't close immediately if it has an error:

IF EXIST "PaintBG" IF EXIST "override\bgee.sql" FOR %%F IN ("PaintBG\PA#Ma*L.bmp") DO cmd /v:on /c "set trunc=%%~nF & echo '!trunc:~0,-2!', 1, >> override\bgee.sql"

PAUSE

 

I just tried this and it works for me on Windows 7, so I want to check if this would work for you on Windows 10 if it was in a batch file.

[agb1]

Thanks for running that test.  Very strange that works but BWS doesn't.  Would you mind attaching your BigWorldSetup/Config/BG2EE/Select.txt?

 

You can work around the Item Revisions v4 issue by copying iconv.exe from one of the other mods into the item_rev/languages/iconv folder.

[Mike1072]

Yeah, somehow that file was removed from the latest beta. I'll make sure it gets back in.
