[FIXED] Invisibility Bug in Multiplayer

10 May 2011 - 12:05 PM

Greetings,

me and my friend are trying to play a modded BG2 game over Network, however, we've had some issues lately, one of which causes the character models of the other person to disappear on one's screen, whenever the game is saved.
We've done some testing, and eventually found out that the issue was being caused by the Throne of Bhaal Extender mod, but we cannot locate the component responsible for the problem, and would appreciate any help that can be offered.

Here are my logs:

WeiDU:

TobEx:

TobExCore:

TobExTweak:

Edit:
Ok, it seems we found a way to resolve the issue. In the ToBExCore.ini file, if you set the value for Expanded Stats=1 to 0, the problem is gone. Could anybody look into this and/or explain to me what this line in the file actually does?

Thanks a lot.

BGT Multiplayer Issues after using Big World Project

28 April 2011 - 11:59 AM

Greetings,

first, I'd like to apologize that my very first post in these forums is one asking for help and I also hope that this is the correct section to post this thread in.

Regarding the problem - me and a friend of mine have been trying to play all of Baldur's Gate from 1 to Throne of Bhaal via TCP/IP using the superb modifications offered by the modding community to enhance our gameplay experience. To reduce the hassle with installation procedures, we've chosen to utilize the Big World Project (which is a great tool, big kudos to the developer).

Anyhow, when me and my friend try to play lately, connection and all works just fine, we can load the game and play for a minute or two, but eventually the non-host player gets a weird error that causes the program to crash.

Here's the error report from the BG Error Log:

In case this is of any use, here's some additional information:
I run Windows 7 64-bit, my friend uses Windows 7 32-bit. We use Hamachi to be able to establish a decent connection.

A few months back I was still running Windows XP (my friend was already using Windows 7) and we were successfully able to play through all of Baldur's Gate 1 and some of ToSC, before I upgraded to Windows 7 (clean install). After that, no matter what I tried, we couldn't run a network game successfully. We tried using our old saves, as well as new games.

I personally completed the installations on both PCs, and this is the procedure I followed:

- Installed BG1 and ToSC (german versions)
- Installed BG2 (in English) and ToB (in German)
- My directory is C:\Black Isle\ his is C:\Program Files\Black Isle\
- Patched both games with their respective patches (ToSC 5512 International and ToB 26498 English)
- I overwrote some files using the English language patches of version 5512 and 26498 for both installations
- Checked for Missing files
- Started the games (BG1, BG2, Tob) and made a savegame
- Installed Big World Project 9.10 (which I think is the most recent version?)
- Ran it, made a backup
- Used the "Recommended" list of Mods as a basis then slightly modified the list of mods to be installed (I checked beforehand and made sure all the downloads were available)
- Saved the mod selection as a file to make sure that both of our PCs had the exact same mods
- Let the BWP do its job and had it install everything

During the DOS part, I selected Standard, DA, AD, resized to 1280x1024 and then started the installation. Mid-installation, only I was prompted to reenter my installation path as my BG installation wasn't in my Program Files folder, so I did that. Both installations were finished without any errors, but at the end, it was noted that some mods that I hadn't even selected weren't properly installed (Tower of Deception).
Due to my friend's Norton Security Suit I had some trouble properly installing everything on his PC at first, as Norton kept recognizing TobExLoader.exe as malware, forbid any access and then deleted it. But I completely his installation with Norton turned off.

Anyway, that's about all I can think of that might help solve this issue.
Big thanks in advance to whomever is willing to help with this problem.
