Installation problem

[Johannes]

I tried to install scs ii, with various other mods already installed before it. Most of scs ii also installed np, but "Smarter general AI" didn't.

 

Turns up a error like this:

ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'

Resource [dw#melee.bcs] not found in KEY file:

[./chitin.key]

Stopping installation because of error.

Any idea what'd be causeing the problem & how to fix it?

 

And full setup.scsii.debug contents, if it's helpful, warning though that it might take a moment to load:

Also when I got the error it says: PLEASE email the file SETUP-SCSII.DEBUG to davidw, Gibberlings3 forums

But when I did that I got told to post a thread here instead, so updating that instruction would be in place.

 

Thanks!

Is there anything non-standard about your operating system setup? e.g. are you running Wine or Linux? (Neither is compatible with SCSII)

Apologies. It's out of date, and indeed needs updating.

Ah, thats the case then... Im running it thru wine. What do the AI parts installer do though, that wine can't comprehend? On the surface, when it complains about a missing file it appears like just a problem with the bg2 install.

[the bigg]

Generally speaking, to install the mods on Linux you should use the Linux version of WeiDU, rather than the WIndows version with Wine: download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from weidu.org and extract (at least) the WeiDU, weinstall, tisunpack and tolower executables in a $PATH directory (E.G. /usr/bin). Following that, open a terminal, cd to your BG2 installation directory, run `tolower' and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lower cased file name. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet. After that, run 'weinstall <mod name>' from your game installation directory to install or uninstall the mod.

 

WeiDU on Linux has some quirks with case-sensitivity. For 99% of mods it doesn't matter (as long as you run tolower as specified above), but last I heard SCSII can't install on Linux even after running tolower. If WeiDU-Linux doesn't help you, you can try to put [linux] in the topic title, if you're lucky one of the other Linux users might come and give you specific help.

Ah, thats the case then... Im running it thru wine. What do the AI parts installer do though, that wine can't comprehend? On the surface, when it complains about a missing file it appears like just a problem with the bg2 install.

 

The basic problem is that SCS scripts are pre-compiled by a Perl script, which for reasons I (as a godless Windows acolyte ) don't understand, chokes on UNIX installs. I suspect it's something to do with case-sensitivity assumptions in my Perl script. At some point, I ought to try to sort it out, but it's fiddly as I don't have convenient access to a UNIX system (and don't really have the energy to set one up).

 

If I had to guess, the guess would be that whenever the file scsii\setup-scsii.tp2 has a block like

 

<<<<<<<< .../scsII-inline/ssl.2da

SOME_STUFF

>>>>>>>>

 

then the SOME_STUFF needs to be re-expressed all in lower-case. I think SSL (my Perl script) itself doesn't care what the case is of its input, but if that input is in upper or mixed case, it'll come out in upper or mixed case (and TheBigg's tolower won't help). But I'm only speculating.

 

If someone with access to UNIX or the like manages to get SCS(II) working by this or another means and sends me the files, I'll happily incorporate them in the next version.

Now that I think about it, tolower, applying this:

and then a find scsii -exec sed -e's/scsII/scsii/g' -i {} \; should do the trick.

 

EDIT: yes, this seems to fix it (haven't yet installed all components or tried to run the game).

[DavidW]

Yeah, I missed this. I'm not sure I understand the find line - is that a DOS command line instruction? & what does it do?

[the bigg]

It's bash scripting, and it replaces 'scsII' with 'scsii' in all files in the scsii file tree. This lowercases file names when calling SSL while preserving case in OptionNames (without the EXACT, the whole command line would be lowercased, thus breaking SSL options).

[DavidW]

You're overestimating my competence. What I mean is: do I just type that at the DOS command line, or is it something that has to be applied in *nix?

[the bigg]

You can't type that in DOS. You can either install Cygwin to have a *nix environment on Windows (and then type the command there), or manually convert scsII to scsii in all your files.

[Wisp]

I was going to suggest Win ports of find and sed but the port of find is giving me grief and the port of sed doesn't seem to clean out its temp files after it's done (but seemed to work [from a FOR /R]). Cygwin may be preferable to that.
