Holy. Crap.

[phordicus]

if the baf isn't in the root directory "gwen", the tp2 isn't finding it.

 

if it is, i don't know what the issue is but that's a less than ideal modding habit.

No missing tilde, double checked all my file locations.,..

I've looked this over again and a again, I've compared the line to the tutorial tp2's, I had a friend who knows code look at it, i made sure all my file names are accurately named, I'm starting to think my game's core files might be getting corrupt. I tried uninstalling some mods and they wouldn't uninstall due to errors. I'm hoping this isn't the case, but does that sound like it might be the root of my problem?

[Grim Squeaker]

Can you post the tp2 line and then 10 or so above it?

Can't see anything around that area, however:

 

COPY ~Gwen/w@Gwen.chr~ ~override\w@Gwen.CRE~

 

You need to turn your .chr file into a .cre file using Near Infinity (if you haven't do so already) - they are different file types.

[cmorgan]

COPY ~Gwen/w@Gwen.chr~ ~override\w@Gwen.CRE~

 

try this to doublecheck, after you have followed Grim's advice and turned it into a .cre

 

COPY ~Gwen/w@Gwen.chr~ ~override~

 

and see if it is choking on the w@ or soemthing else.

 

 

This syntax:

 

~/Gloomy/ *You* pick it up.~

 

will end up looking in-game like

 

"/Gloomy/ *You* pick it up."

 

If you are looking for a way of commenting so that it does not show in the displayed string (so it looks like this, "*You* pick it up.") then you will want to use

 

~[Gloomy]*You* pick it up.~

 

That way your voice actor can read it but it won't show in the game. I get the idea of having the two personalities - if you are really wanting that to display instead of being done by the VO or by the content of the string, some mods use ( ).

 

~(gloomy) *You* pick it up.~

Thank you, I will make sure to make the change, and I want to give everyone who has taken the time to help me a HUGE thank you, my very first BG2 NPC Gwen (although in her bare basic stage) now works in game!! I can't tell you how ecstatic I am!!! Thank you all for guiding me through my first mod!

[Guest Guest]

I'm not sure where to begin. I don't want to make a whole mod, yet, and just want to start small. For the moment i want to remove the Line of Sight Shading and Explored Area Blackout effects. I would like to see the whole map, full sized, while adventuring, to see exactly where i have to go next in the area.

If there is already a mod that does this, I'll be happy to just use that, but i would rather do it myself.

Would be pretty straight forward. You'd want to patch every area script (e.g., AR1300.bcs) with a little block that said this:

 

IF
 Global("AutoExploreArea","AR1300",0) //Check we haven't auto-explored already
THEN
 RESPONSE #1
SetGlobal("AutoExploreArea","AR1300",1) //Set this so we don't do it this script again
Explore() //Explore the area
END

Thanks for the tip, but any ideas on expanding the Line Of Sight, so that i don't have greyed-out image, when i scroll away from my party?

[Ardanis]

Max LOS is hardcoded to be what you normally can observe in game. It's possible to partially extend the sight range to ~160% and see creatures in the fog, but that's all.

How would I extend the LOS to 160%, if I can't remove the whole thing, that's better than nothing. Where would the coding for that be? Or is there just an in-game cheat?

One more question, since everyone has been so awesome, can anyone tell me how to convert the Full Screen Area image files to a format that can be edited in Photoshop (or any picture editor, I'll use MS Paint if I have to), and then back to the current format. If the Full Screen versions (ie. the version you see the avatar walking on) can't be extracted, can someone let me know, so I don't waste my time.

I'm guessing you're talking about the tilesets (.tis files). DLTCEP can convert them to .bmp and back to .tis again.
