IR and the problem with BPv180 and the TOOLTIP.2DA

In a BWP installation I tried to install IR after BGT and after the big BG2 mods as discussed at SHS: http://www.shsforums.net/topic/52117-big-w...-v102-released/

However, doing so there arises a new problem with BPv180 and the TOOLTIP.2DA

 

The TOOLTIP.2DA starts with 3 columns. The big BG2 mods change this system into 10 columns. When installing IR after these mods IR adds some entries with 3 columns on top of TOOLTIP.2DA. BP expects 10 columns inside TOOLTIP.2DA and such the installation fails.

Stopping installation because of error.

On trial I cut the entries with 3 columns from top of the TOOLTIP.2DA and pasted them to the bottom of it and I could install BP without any error.

 

Unprofessionally I could imagine one of these solutions::

 

1. Installing also the IR main components together with all its other components after BP (the easiest way). Is there any reason against it?

2. Changing IR's TOOLTIP.2DA so that it starts with 10 columns

3. Adding IR's entries at the bottom of TOOLTIP.2DA instead of the top

4. A patch for BP to handle with 3 columns

I thought the engine doesn't support more than 3 columns? ARE/CRE/STO format only has sufficient space for three charged abilities. Or do attack headers not count?

Nevertheless, adding support for 10-columned 2DA isn't difficult.

 

 

UPDATE:

The hotfix from Dec 17 (Beta 1.6) contains the updated macro.

There is still a small issue. In line 53 it should read

 

	  INSERT_2DA_ROW 1 4 ~%tooltip_itm%			%mi_col_1%		%mi_col_2%	   %mi_col_3%%extra%~

instead of

  INSERT_2DA_ROW 0 4 ~%tooltip_itm%			%mi_col_1%		%mi_col_2%	   %mi_col_3%%extra%~

 

INSERT_2DA_ROW 0 4 adds the column heading halfway through the rows and as a result the installation of Big Picture fails again.

INSERT_2DA_ROW 1 4 adds the column heading on top of the file and now also Big Picture can be installed trouble-free.

Well, the functionality is different after the 3rd column, as in they 4th, 5th, etc use the same charge as the 1st, while the 2nd and 3rd use unigue charge, if the items abilities has "charges"... and by the way, you never have to fill in the "-1" 's to all the lines, as the game auto assumes the value to be "-1", or what ever the number is set directly under the "2DA V1.0" -line.
