bg2fixpack v6 fails to install on Linux

[Anomaly]

Hello,

 

This is my first try to install mods on BG2 under Linux

 

I'm using Wine 0.9.53.

 

I've installed SOA (french), TOB (french) and TOB Intl patch 26498, it worked perfectly, the game starts without any problem.

 

I downloaded WeiDU-Linux 204 (and put the relevant file in my ~/bin) and BG2 FixPack v6 for Mac.

 

I unrar'd the mod in the BG2 directory, ran "tolower", then used "WeInstall bg2fixpack".

 

I choosed the language (French), then yes to the optional components, then install the core fixes. It starts to install things very well, but stops after a while with this error :

Install Component [BG2 Fixpack - Correctifs principaux]?
[I]nstall, or [N]ot Install or [Q]uit?

 

What's wrong?

bigg, could tolower affect the setting of projectile variables? We have (in order of tp2 appearance):

 

ADD_PROJECTILE ~bg2fixpack/pro/CDDETEVL.pro~

COPY_EXISTING ~spbehbla.pro~ ~override/cdbehbla.pro~
ADD_PROJECTILE ~override/cdbehbla.pro~

COPY_EXISTING ~clck24.itm~ ~override~
 // stuff
WRITE_LONG ("%fx_off%" + 0x08 + (10 * 0x30)) ("%cdbehbla%" - 1)
 // more stuff

COPY_EXISTING ~spcl212.spl~ ~override~ // detect evil (paladin innate)
 // stuff
WRITE_SHORT ("%abil_off%" + 0x26 + ("%index%" * 0x28)) "%CDDETEVL%" // custom projectile
 // more stuff

 

The clck24.itm patch runs before spcl212.spl and seems to be fine.

 

Anomaly, look around line 18553 in setup-bg2fixpack.tp2 and replace "%CDDETEVL%" with "%cddetevl%" and try reinstalling. If my speculation above is correct, this should fix it.

I will never cease to be amazed by the skills of the IE community.

 

I made this change and it installs now flawlessly.

It sets cddetect and not CDDETECT, yes. Fixed for 205.

holy toledo - do i need to go back in and change all those cmp vars from

 

%ALORA_JOINED% to %alora_joined%

 

etc

 

for linux distribution compatible code?

No.

[the bigg]

No. It's probably just an issue with ADD_MUSIC and ADD_PROJECTILE.

Cool
