Hello Everybody

 

I have installed BG1 EE (incluiding Siege of Dragonspear) & BG2 EE. All is installed by Gog Galaxy. I applied mergemod too

 

I run Big World Set up and all the mods are installed without problems and the installation end suscessfully

 

But when I am going to run BG2 EE (directly from Gog Galaxy) or the Access direct from the desktop the program don´t run

 

Curiously If I run BG1 EE the program runs correctly and it have installed several mods.

 

I have tried three times cleaning all the previous installations and mods instead I have installed again BG1 EE & BG2 EE but dont run

 

¿Could you help me?

I assume that you did it only in BG:EE directory, right? BG2:EE don't need this tool usage.

 

1. Try to run Baldur.exe from within the game directory (maybe shortcut points to wrong file).

2. If that won't help go to EET/backup/core/0 and copy "Baldur.exe" to your game directory overwriting existing file (make a backup first) and try running the game again - if it starts then somehow executable became corrupted after patching it (let us know if this is the case)

3. If above gives the same result please upload following files to https://www.sendspace.com/:

- SETUP-EET.DEBUG

- SETUP-EET_CORE.DEBUG
- weidu.log
- weidu_bgee.log

Many thanks for the answer and help

 

I used modmerge only for BG EE

 

I have tried points 1 & 2 but it doesn´t run

 

I am sending requested  files: https://www.sendspac...dEmiRDAtHm4okVS

 

One question, I have read that you cannot installed the games in the directory C/ PROGRAMS FILE (X86)/....¿Could be this the reason of the problem?

 

Best Regards

log files looks fine so that Program Files directory seems like a likely candidate

 

1. Try moving whole EET directory somewhere else (the game is DRM free so there is no problem with doing so) and start the game

2. Try running the game using BAT file attached to this post and check if there is something suspicious printed in the black command line window

3. Check if your antivirus didn't put exe file into quarantine

4. Check if yourGameFolder/lang/es_ES/movies/ directory contains WBM files. How many of these files are there?

5. You don't have TLK files located directly in your main folder, right? Even if they are zipped the game crashes with them there

6. If nothing helps please upload TLK files located in your lang/es_ES/ directory

Attached Files

​3. I dont think that antivirus are a problem. I desactived it and there isnt any changes when I try to run EET

4. Yes. I checked. There are 40 files WBM

5. I checked that I dont have *tlk files in my main folder

6. I checked and I have 2 files in his directory, dialog.tlk & dialogf.tlk ¿How Can I upload it? ¿What is the mod that generated them?

 

Best Regards

I don't understand what you mean. By uploading I mean posting a link to files like you did in your second post.


1. Anyway try installing this mod: https://forums.beamd...g2ee-and-eet/p1
If the game still won't run than it's not related to GUI (so no point in uploading those LUA / MENU files)
2. Try renaming whole Override directory to some other name (which basically removes whole EET) and try to run the game - if it doesn't run than I really have no idea what's up
3. As a last resort if points 1 and 2 fail please upload lang/es_ES/dialog.tlk to https://www.sendspace.com/

First of all apologize you. I am Spanish and sometimes I do not properly understand English

 

1. I installed the link that you send me but the game don´t run

2. But I changed the name of override directory and the game run perfectly but I begin in Irenicus prison,  In Baldurs Gate II not in Baldurs Gate I (I think that is logical because changed the name we have eliminatelly EET)

3. I am sending in this link BGEE.LUA, UI.MENU & dialog.tlk. Again I didnt find UTIL.LUA

ok, now I can reproduce the problem. This error:

INFO: LUA: UI string not found: Recent events text will go here.
INFO: Error loading menu: [string "function onopen0609F2D0 () ..."]:6: 'then' expected near ')'
INFO: LUA: Initializing Quests

is caused by BGEE.LUA file. If you open it up in text editor and remove following lines:

    createQuest    ( 416492 )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414163, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414169, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414177, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414197, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414182, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414189, {}, nil )
    createEntry    ( 416492, -1, 414194, {}, nil )
    createQuest    ( 416493 )
    createEntry    ( 416493, -1, 416453, {}, nil )

than the game should start correctly but these quests will be missing in your journal. Now the question is what mod added these lines and why exactly they can't be parsed by the engine. Does anyone know which mod adds following quest? (text in Spanish, since it's extracted from TLK file used by Victor)

 

La hija de Aran Linvail ha sido secuestrada.

   Aran quiere que rescate a su hija Abagail y no me volver� a ayudar hasta que cumpla esta tarea. Sus esp�as han reportado que creen que ella se encuentra en alg�n lugar al norte de la Hacienda de Balthis en el Distrito del Puente. Supongo que echar� un vistazo por all�.

Probably the mod didn't convert charsets or something like that. One think is almost certain - this problem is completely unrelated to EET - same thing would happen on BG2:EE.

 

edit: Keep in mind Victor Ballesteros, that if the mod that added above mentioned quest didn't use HANDLE_CHARSETS than your game will crash whenever any of the text added by that mod will be displayed, which makes your installation broken. You should uninstall that mod, but first we need to fighure out what is the mod name.

The bugged mod is Chloe and indeed it doesn't use HANDLE_CHARSETS, so all languages other than English are broken.

Good news!!!!

 

Actually uninstall the module Cloe, the program started, asked me to install the ETT_end and after install it everything works correctly
 
To terminate the thread ideally would be updating the BWS to make incompatible this module with languages other than English or better to repair the module Cloe that It appear very interesting
 
Thank you for your help and attention if you need help to test this repair mod or any other you can count me. You have been very helpful
 
Best Regards

The mod has been repaired thanks to your findings.

 

PS - It is still that only the original BG2 context is already translated, the addons for EET-SoA and ToB are only available in english at this time.

¿Where can I dowload it?

 

Can I installed it directly or I have to begin all the process from "zero" with BWS?

 

Best Regards

Download is here

https://github.com/R...hive/master.zip

 

But..

It must be installed prior EET_End because of the dialogues that are redone by that operation, even better to install prior the Sandrah mods (to get the full crossmod contents).

Looking at your weidu.log - it would be possible to roll back to that point and reinstall again, but very cumbersome, unless you have a lot of experience with it already.

If I would use BWS to begin from "zero" (this is not a problem to me, because I dont have any save game yet), it would installed the repair mod or nor?

It should - to make sure that it uses the latest version, you might want to delete the (unpacked) mod from your BWS download directoty (BWS checks there and only does new downloads for changed mods but I am not sure how these checks are done,)
