The .rar archive of Faren 2.2 that can be downloaded from the mod's page seems to be damaged.

 

WinRar gives me the error 'Unexpected end of archive' [maybe not exact, I'm translating from the Dutch-worded error report]

 

7-zip gives the error 'data error in 'Faren\translations\english\fhsl.tra.' Archive is damaged' [again, translated from Dutch]

 

installing anyway gives the following WeiDu-setup dialogue:

 

Would you like to display the readme? [Y]es [N]o

y

ERROR: No translation provided for @88

Continueing despite error.

 

Would you like to display the components from [UNDEFINED STRING:     @88]?

[Y]es [N]o

y

ERROR: No translation provided for @88

Continueing despite error.

 

Install component [Undefined String:  @0]?

[I]nstall, or [N]ot Install or [Q]uit?

 

 

I upload the Debug report of trying to install anyway.

It worked for me. Try downloading it again. Sometimes the download process doesn't work correctly on SHS. The size of the file should be exactly 8407644 bytes.

There's a typo in that code, well a missing letter in the file names... the fhsl.tra should be fhfsl.tra in the tp2 code. As there's a file named that Faren\translations\english\ -folder at least in the newer archive.

You did use the Nov 16 2013 v2.2 archive via the green download button and not the Nov 14 2013 archive that's in the side ?

Thanks for trying to help. However, I'm not there yet. I opened the tp2 file and the only part of it that slightly matches something like fhfsl.tra is this piece of code:

 

ADD_JOURNAL EXISTING TITLE (#74337) @3001 @3002 @5 USING ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/journals.tra~ ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/fhfrnp.tra~
ADD_JOURNAL @65 @68 @3003 @3000 @1455 USING ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/fhfseth.tra~ ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/journals.tra~ ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/fhfrnj.tra~
ADD_JOURNAL @44 @46 @61 @62 @63 @123 @134 @136 USING ~Faren/translations/%LANGUAGE%/fhfq.tra~

 

searching for a possible typo of fhsl.tra reveals nothing

 

There is indeed a file called fhfsl.tra in the translations\english folder, but no string in the tp2 file that mentions it.

 

I notice however, if I open the setup-faren.tp2 file, a mention of this:

 

// Translations
AUTO_TRA ~Faren/translations/%s~

LANGUAGE ~English~
         ~english~
         ~Faren/translations/english/setup.tra~

//LANGUAGE ~English~ ~English~ ~Faren/english/Setup-Faren.tra~

 

and I don't see a setup.tra nor a Setup-Faren.tra file in the subfolder translations\english

 

Seems somethings missing from the download? Download size of the .rar is 8.406.058 bytes, while Argent77 says it should be 8.407.644 bytes. It seems the green download button isn't giving me the right file or an incomplete file?

 

And yes, I did use the green download button. If the site is irky, would it help to try again tomorrow?

and I don't see a setup.tra nor a Setup-Faren.tra file in the subfolder translations\english

The // code quotes out that line of code, so it uses the setup.tra file, and that file is there:

Part of that is:

 @0    = ~Faren NPC for Baldur's Gate II~
...
@88   = ~Crossmod Content~
@89   = ~Please install Faren before extra content~ 
...

Hi Son of Imoen, thank you for posting about this! And thankyou to The Imp and Argent77 for weighing in while I was at work and couldn't get on the forum!

There should be a file called setup.tra in the Faren/translations/english folder and if that's missing on your version, I would assume that's the issue (or at least part of it). fhfsl.d/fhfsl.tra are the crossmod files for Saerileth which are present in my version.

 

I've tried downloading the latest v2.2 file and it extracts fine with WinRAR including setup.tra, and WeiDU installs it OK so I'm not really sure what to suggest other than trying the download again - sorry I can't think of anything more specific!

[Son of Imoen]

Thank you Miss Sakaki for tuning in as well with a reply. I've taken a look at The Imp's content of the 'english' folder and fhfsl.tra is my last file in that folder, so I'm missing 12 files in the downloaded rar.

 

If everything went right with you uploading the file, somewhere in the proces of it storing on the server and downloading to my computer it went wrong. I'm hoping the moderators of the site can help out, that's why I've reported the file as broken, though I assumed what I was filling in was a report to the moderators, now it's on the internet for everyone to see on the downloadpage. It wasn't my intention to put shame on the mod , sorry.

[Miss Sakaki]

I suspect it may be something at your end, as others have been able to download and extract/install without issues, but I'll have a look at updating the zip in the download centre after I finish work today.

 

In the meantime, it would be nice for you to get to play/read Faren! Try downloading the v2.2 zip I've attached to this post? In theory it should extract and install as normal.

Thank you, the file you uploaded unpacked intact.

 

Strangely using my Android tablet I managed to get the file intact as well using the download button on the download page.

 

So indeed the problem is something with my desktop interacting with the download page (both in Firefox and IE).

 

But I can start playing now!

 

My report of it being broken was unjust. How do I get the mods to remove the message?

Unfortunately on this version of the forum software(assuming it's the same the G3 uses), it can't be. Have fun with that.

No worries, I'll get in touch with K'aeloree to arrange amending the download page. I'm glad it's working for you now - hope you enjoy Faren!

Edit: v2.3 is now up including some minor bugfixes
