Hi All, I'm starting a fresh new install of BG2 SoA & ToB (Windows XP SP3, yeah I know). Patched, adding a few of my favorite mods, downloading latest versions, testing after each mod. Upon installing aTweaks 4-10, an error message suddenly started appearing in TobEx:

"CEffectSetStat::ApplyEffect(): nOpcode out of bounds (expected maximum 400)"

My WeiDU.log, TobEx.log, and Setup.aTweaks.Debug are attached.

 

Searched for clues, and another SHS thread (http://www.shsforums...bounds-message/) indicated a conflict between TobEx, which adds new opcodes to STATS.IDS, and mods that delete them, including (apparently) aTweaks. Sure enough, Near Infinity showed that STATS.IDS had exactly 200 entries. (Shouldn't that message say "minimum 400" ?) I don't know much about TobEx, but I gather those extra opcodes are important to somebody. Haven't found anything on this one in the other forums or archives. 

 

So have you seen this yourself? Any chance of changing aTweaks not to delete those extra TobEx opcodes? To get around it, I've copied the backup from aTweaks folder 153 back into STATS.IDS with Near Infinity (although in some areas it doesn't quite seem to match), and the TobEx error message seems to have gone away, at least for now. Was that the right thing to do, or is it likely to cause other problems later on?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks !

As in the thread you linked to, it looks like (old) DS is to blame, as it were. Parts of aTweaks likely won't work right without the necessary mappings in stats.ids.

Hi Wisp!

 

Yes, it looks like aTweaks is installing Detectable Spells, which is deleting the higher opcodes, which is causing the TobEx error message, and presumably or potentially affecting anything (including aTweaks) that might be looking for those missing opcodes later on.

 

From the Setup.aTweaks.Debug listing:

Initializing Detectable Spells installation ...
Copying and patching 1 file ...
[./override/spwi705.spl] loaded, 250 bytes
Copying and patching 1 file ...
[./override/stats.ids] loaded, 5271 bytes

[aTweaks/LIB/DS/stats.2da] loaded, 1298 bytes
Copying 1 file ...
override/stats.ids copied to atweaks/backup/153/stats.ids, 5271 bytes

(etc)

 

(That's where I got the idea to restore the backed-up STATS.IDS from folder 153.)

 

So ... if you need to install DS for aTweaks, but you also know that it will clobber STATS.IDS (including stuff that you and others may need), would it be possible for you to code around that problem? I'm thinking whether you were to back up, modify, and then restore STATS.IDS after DS runs, or overwrite the STATS.2DA in your DS folder with the current STATS.IDS before installing DS, the objective would be to end up with a correct, TobEx friendly STATS.IDS with all of its 400+ entries at the end. (Sorry to jump to solutioning, just trying to be helpful.)

 

Attached are my STATS.IDS after installing aTweaks (200 entries due to DS) and the version manually restored from aTweaks folder 153 (as above). What I don't know is whether the restored backup has everything aTweaks would need to work right, as you said.

 

Can you take a look at my Restored version and let me know if everything you need is in there, or is anything missing?

 

Thanks!  ~ WVN777 ~

aTweaks doesn't need any of the higher stats. It works fine with the DS it ships with. Other mods might need the higher stats and malfunction without them. aTweaks will possibly malfunction without the stats.ids produced by DS.

 

The fix for this is complicated by the need to keep DS consistent among all mods that use DS.

[WVN777]

I'm constantly amazed that so many great mods work together as well as they do!  I don't know who is responsible for DS today, but it needs to work with TobEx, for aTweaks (and others) to work. I had to re-install aTweaks (and others) without the parts that use DS, which is a pity.

A temporary workaround is to restore STATS.IDS from aTweaks' backup folder. If you already have SCS installed, all aTweaks needs will be there.
A permanent solution is obviously to ship a self-updating DS library, which is what I'm pretending to work on currently.

So something very much like this ?
