In Topic: Missing areas in BGT-WeiDU v0.99b4

29 November 2005 - 10:58 AM

I think I used The Wyrm's Lair - The Dragon's Hoard when downloading it originally. I downloaded it again (http://dragonshoard....94b-Install.rar) and it's the same file as I had (I compared the two files and they are identical).

Edit: Well ignore my comments, it appears as if I can't read that well :) I didn't have v0.99b4, I had v0.94b.

In Topic: New report of bugs

27 November 2005 - 11:29 AM

The installation of BGT-WeiDU should use a method similar to the one used by TS and CtB for adding music, they check if there is enough space to add all the songs to SONGLIST.2DA and if so adds them in a dynamic way (they get correct rownumbers and areas are updated with those). TS and CtB does check if BGT-WeiDU is installed and if so skips adding new songs but with the current version of BGT-WeiDU it has to be installed after TS and CtB. As it is installing these mods, I don't know if only one is enough, and then installing BGT-WeiDU will make the game terminate at startup with the message "An Assertion failed in ChSound.cpp at line number 4905". (I edited my SONGLIST.2DA and MUSICLIS.2DA so I could run the game, and I did modify the installscript so it shouldn't add anything if there isn't room for all new music but I haven't tested it yet.)

In Topic: Installation order for the new stuff

I did two reinstallations to test things now, and neither worked. What I did was doing exactly as King Diamond wrote.

Fresh install of BG2:SoA + ToB + patch
BDash-WeiDU v1.5
TDD-WeiDU v1.05 (with the modifications to the GUISetup part of the .tp2 script)
SoS-WeiDU v1.05 (with the modifications to the GUISetup part of the .tp2 script)
BGT-WeiDU v0.99b4

Then I tried to install CtB-TDDFix and it started to uninstall BGT-WeiDU again  :(  (I also tried not installing BDash before but that gave the same result.)

My WeiDU.log before trying to install CtB-TDDFix:
~SETUP-BD-TOB.TP2~ #0 #0 // Baldurdash Fix Pack for ToB, v1.5 WeiDU
~SETUP-BD-TOB.TP2~ #0 #1 // Baldurdash English Text Update Pack for ToB, v1.4 WeiDU
~SETUP-TDD.TP2~ #0 #0 // The Darkest Day,  v105 WeiDU
~SETUP-TDD.TP2~ #0 #1 // TDD Character Kits
~SETUP-SOS.TP2~ #0 #0 // Shadows Over Soubar, v105 WeiDU
~SETUP-GUI.TP2~ #0 #0 // "Shadows Over Soubar"
~SETUP-BGT-PREP.TP2~ #0 #0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy Pre-installation Setup
~SETUP-BGT-MAIN.TP2~ #0 #0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy


Part of the .debug file from the installation of CtB-TDDFix:
Installing [CtB-TDDv1.05 Compatibility Fix]
uninstall: Setup-GUI.tp2 0
We must temporarily uninstall [SETUP-BGT-MAIN.TP2] component 0
[SETUP-BGT-MAIN.TP2] parsed

Any ideas about what could cause this and how to fix it? I'm guessing it might work if I edited Setup-GUI.tp2 to not do anything while installing CtB but that's not a solution I would prefer.

In Topic: Installation order for the new stuff

Hello.

I'm having some troubles with installing the mods I want. This is the order and what I installed (and that without any problems), starting from a complete and patched version of the original game:

G3Tweaks v15
Oversight v7
BDash-WeiDU v1.5

TDD-WeiDU v1.05
SoS-WeiDU v1.05
BGT-WeiDU v0.99b4

So far everything works just fine, as far as I can tell, I didn't get any error messages during the installation and the game started just fine (I can load an old game and it runs). The problem comes when I try to install CtB-TDDFix for CtB-WeiDU v1.60, this will cause the uninstallation of BGT-WeiDU which is bad. (I tried adding the modifications done in the fix manually and installing CtB-WeiDU v1.60, but the same result.) I did use the changes for the GUISetup part of the .tp2 files of TDD and SoS.

Anyone that has any idea what might cause this?

I've been trying to get all the major mods installed, except NEJ2 since it's apparently not that compatible with the others (at least not the later versions) so I excluded that one, for 2 days now. I did get all installed two days ago (TDD+SoS+TS+CtB+BGT-WeiDU (v0.99b3), in that order or with TS and CtB switch I'm not sure about those two.) and everything seemed to work fine but then I found this thread so I decided to do it properly, and I hadn't installed BDash/G3Tweaks and wanted to install those at the proper time.

Could my installation of Oversight in the beginning cause this problem? I doubt that since it's the GUISetup part that is responsible for starting the uninstallation but my knowledge of how the WeiDU installations work internally is next to zero so I guess it's possible.

I just deleted my installation and restored a fresh BG2:Soa+ToB+patch copy to start over, and this time I will try the exact order as King Diamond said, so I lost the .debug files.
