Erm... Is this right?

[Guest Eepacse]

Ahem, I've recently installed the BG1 NPC pro. +yes I have Tutu installed, so no need to question that+ and I created a new charrie to play the game +a femme, thief/mage, half-elf to be exact+ and began to play, but I'm now just leaving the Nashkel mines and still none of my companions are talking, to me or each other. +To be more precise, I have Imoen, Khalid, Jaheira, Ajantis and now Xan in my party.+

 

Also when I click on them to see if they have anything to say, it comes up with that all to well known message reminding me that they have nothing to say, however, Imoen does say that I'm a queer fellow, Ajantis tells me that honor is his life and Xan reminds me that we're all doomed. Is it meant to happen like this?

 

Oh, and how do I use CLUAConsole with the Tutu? I knew how to use it on BG2 but I'm a bit warey about fiddling around with the Tutu files because I really don't want to stuff it up more so.

 

Erm, to be clear I have no other mods installed +I actually only recently reinstalled BG1 and BG2+ so I know there are no other mods causing this "problem." Any help would be welcome and appreciated.

 

There's no rush for answers either, as I'm all too happy to sit around twiddling my thumbs and staring at the screen wondering how on earth I end up with all these problems. Secretly I think my computors plotting against me.

 

Eepacse.

No, this is not how it is supposed to be. To be honest, it sounds as if the mod didn't get installed. Please post your WeiDU.log. It should be in the Tutu main directory, and you can open it with any editor.

[Eepacse]

Okay.

Like I said, I've only just reinstalled my BG1 and BG2, so there aren't many mods on my computor.

If it'll help, I have a patch for BG1 and a patch for BG2 installed and I don't have ToB.

Just to make sure I've done everything right I think I'll start a new game... Heh, can't hurt to try.

[jastey]

That would be good. I have to admit, I am a bit clueless. Seems it installed fine, so where are the dialogues? At least the PIDs should work directly. Anyone having a good idea how to check what's going on?

[Kulyok]

Have you installed BG1 NPC Project in BG2 directory, or in Tutu directory? Just checking.

[Eepacse]

Hmm, let me check...

 

It appears to be in the BG2 file.

 

Oh, and restarting the game changed nothing so I am a bit clueless too. Unless it's in the wrong file, in which case I'm just a dodo and that explains everything, heh.

[Kulyok]

It appears to be in the BG2 file.

 

Install it in Tutu directory and start a new game. This should help.

[Guest jastey*]

I thought the mod has automatic Tutu / BGT detection? How can it be installed to the (non-Tutu) BG2-game?

[Kulyok]

Ah, I'm so used to EasyTutu I've forgotten that Tutu actually _uses_ BG2 directory, so it's all right.

 

Still, the mod is supposed to be working, so I suspect something is wrong with your install. In case you don't have a "clean backup", please, read this thread:

http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,17555.0.html

[Eepacse]

Oh wow. I read that thread Kulyok, but I decided to try what you said about installing it into the Tutu directory first, and ta-da, it works! Hah. Thanks so much for helping, both of you lol.

[jastey]

Well, yeah, that the mod should be installed into the Tutu directory since it it is meant to be played with Tutu is somewhet logical.. I am glad it is working for you now, though!

 

But still I don't understand: How can it be installed to a mere BGII game? The installation should fail.. somehow. Am I missing something?

[Miloch]

I'm pretty sure it would fail on a BG2 install, perhaps rather badly. Offhand, the only thing I can think of is Eepacse had both a BG1Tutu install converted from BG2 and an EasyTutu install, or something like that.

 

(Has anyone ever suggested that WeiDU.log show the game version where its mods are installed? C'mon, they've had to have...)

[cmorgan]

If it didn't, then we have a minor difficulty in either our naming system or my coding:

 

ALWAYS
 ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~FW0100.are~ THEN BEGIN
/* Tell the player it is using Tutu stuff */
PRINT @1000
INCLUDE ~BG1NPC\lib\g3_tutu_cpmvars.tpa~
 END ELSE BEGIN
ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~AR7200.are~ THEN BEGIN
  /* Tell the player it is using BGT stuff */
  PRINT @1001
  INCLUDE ~BG1NPC\lib\g3_bgt_cpmvars.tpa~
  /* Tell the player it is not Tutu or BGT */
  END ELSE BEGIN FAIL @1002
END
 END

 /* prep tras for sound references */
 COPY ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC_tmp.tra~ ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC.tra~
   EVALUATE_BUFFER
 LOAD_TRA ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC.tra~

END

 

~AR7200.are~ should not be there in a BG2 install, only a BGT install...

 

 

I could recode it to be more obvious, but I think it is just cosmetic:

ALWAYS
 ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~FW0100.are~ THEN BEGIN
/* Tell the player it is using Tutu stuff */
PRINT @1000
INCLUDE ~BG1NPC\lib\g3_tutu_cpmvars.tpa~
 END 
 ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~AR7200.are~ THEN BEGIN
  /* Tell the player it is using BGT stuff */
  PRINT @1001
  INCLUDE ~BG1NPC\lib\g3_bgt_cpmvars.tpa~
 END
 ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~AR7200.are~ AND  NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~FW0100.are~THEN BEGIN	  
   /* Tell the player it is not Tutu or BGT */
   FAIL @1002
 END


 /* prep tras for sound references */
 COPY ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC_tmp.tra~ ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC.tra~
   EVALUATE_BUFFER
 LOAD_TRA ~BG1NPC/TRA/%LANGUAGE%/BG1NPC.tra~

END

 

Or some variant. There are simpler ways even still, but I would need to go back and check - probably R_F or something really simple.

 

As far as I can tell, all these would be cosmetic reshuffling of the same actions, though, just tossing them into sequential processes rather than skipping them if the first condition exists.
