In Topic: BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

run the BWS and my German game speaks French now

 

Haha, sorry about that :)

 

 

Thanks to you, the installation is complete for me, and it went quite smoothly. :new_thumbs:

 

I don't think I missed the vbs, the only installation problems I got were 

  • textpatch typos and syntax, but this one is resolved now ;
  • installation failures due to BWS incapable to read the debug file (happened 4 times, and those failures always occured just after the successful installation of a mod, so I think they are harmless) ;
  • during the installation of the mod "Garrick, tales of a troubadour", I had to manually choose the portrait. I checked my selection file, and the choice of the portrait was already made. So, it may be another little bug.

 

Concerning AutoIt, I really understand how bothersome it'd be to check and change the code. I just said that to let you know what other issues I encoutered while using BWS :)

 

Thanks again for all the help.

You're welcome dabus.

 

But remember that there are 2 mods involved, one for BG1, the other for BG2, and even if the syntax and typos are corrected in 09_install.au3, it only concerns the BG1 mod. For what I saw, the BG2 mod had been erased in the BG2 folder, hence not installed, I had to do it manually just before the install of TobEX. I guess there are more things that need to be corrected.

 

 

 

Considering Bonehill, even if the mod was extracted, it was not installed... Since I have no idea how to edit it to make it work for me, I just removed the depedency line in BiG World Setup\Config\BWP\Game.ini since it won't concern my install.

I leave the corrections to someone who knows what he/she is doing.

 

 

 

And by the way, I first launched BiG World Setup\BiG World Setup.au3 with an up-to-date version of AutoIt. And it didn't worked well, for example as of v3.3.4.0 AdlibEnable/AdlibDisable were replaced with AdlibRegister/AdlibUnRegister hence an error running BWS.

So something like a readme in BWS folder or at least in the FAQ, to tell people to drag the .au3 file and drop it in AutoIt3.exe would make them waist less time wondering why it doesn't work well :)

Ah! it was there :) Thanks dabus.

 

It explains why it kept trying to install the mod despite the fact that I unchecked it (I removed the Weidu.log file on 2nd and 3rd attempts).

But it doesn't explain why making the typo myself didn't solve the problem, it should have... I'll make a 1st attempt correcting the .au3 file, if it fails, [Edit : it failed, the mod is installed but BWS tells me that the Textpatch isn't installed] I'm just going to get rid of that part of the .au3 file and pre-install the mod myself. [Edit : it worked, I installed the textpatch mod for BG1 manually beforehand, and I also had to install the textpatch mod for BG2 manually though]

 

I think that since there are 2 mods (correcfrbg1 and correcfrbg2), there is a mix-up... But I can't tell what's incorrect in 09_install.au3.

 

 

 

 

Concerning the dependency conflict with BoneHill, I searched in the .au3 files but found nothing... any clue ?

 

 

 

 

One more issue, to fix at the next release : at least 3 mods don't have the correct size in the BiG World Setup\Config\BWP\Mod.ini file :

[BG2_Tweaks] : Size should be 5064974

[bg2fixpack] : Size should be 3708033

the addfix for [stratagems] : AddSize should be 125303

Hi,
 
I've been trying to make a french installation of BWP using BWS, my 3 attempts failed :
 
1) I checked the mods I wanted to install, including correcfrBG1 and correcfrBG2 which are the first mods installed. It failed and seeing the "Big World Install Debug.txt" file, I thought it was a typo error, so I changed the files and folder names in BG1 to correcfrbg2, not forgetting to edit the .tp2 file. It installed the mod, but the BWS installation failed nonetheless.

 

2) So I removed the bg1 and bg2 folders, copied the backup, installed the 2 mods beforehand, made another BWS installation making sure that the 2 mods were unchecked (and not in the download folder). It failed again, same debug file.

 

3) I tried to edit all the files in the BWS folder that contained those 2 mods (like Select.txt, game.ini, mod.ini, etc.) and just removed them. It "worked" since i couldn't select or unselect them before the installation, but the installation failed again... same debug file.

 

Since I ran out of ideas, I came here seeing if anyone could help me :)

 

 

Btw, I have a second problem : I can't select "Secret of Bone Hill", since there is a dependency conflict, but the mod "Turambar fixes tweak" isn't even installed in a french installation. I think I bypassed the problem, editing the "User.ini" file, and the folder "bonehill" is in fact extracted in BG2, but since BWS can't even install the 1st mod, I'm not sure if what I did actually works.
