BP s_and_h Patch Released

[seanas]

Announcing the release of the BP s_and_h Patch, a new patch from myself and hlidskialf for use with BP, BP-NEJ, BP-BGT and BP-BGT-NEJ.

 

This patch repairs all known (or known to us, at any rate) bugs in BP, BGT and the BP-compatible version of NEJ. Installation proceeds as per any other Weidu mod: download the patch, unzip it into yr BGII directory, run Setup-BP_s_and_h_Patch.exe.

 

The patch has four components, three of which install automatically as needed: BP fixes, BGT fixes and NEJ fixes. The fourth component, BP Nerfs, is optional.

 

Ideally, this patch should be installed immediately after a fresh BP (or BP-BGT, BP-NEJ or BP-BGT-NEJ) installation, before any other Weidu mods are installed.

 

However, it is not actually necessary to start a new game for these fixes to take effect, although if you have encountered some of these bugs already and wish to have them fixed, you will need to revert to a saved game *before* you encountered the bug, otherwise the bugged version will be stored in your saved game and the specific fix will be ineffective.

BP Fixes:

• TDD NPC Fix - fixes bugs in five different TDD NPCs.
