Latest g3_xx_cpmvars library?

[CamDawg]

These libraries pop up in a few places for BG/BGT/Tutu mods like BG1 NPC and BG UB. Is there a master copy somewhere?

 

These will be, by far, the most useful tool for porting stuff to BGEE, but I want to track down the most recent version before I make a new EE library.

[Wisp]

Alternatively, I have something different I'm using in Item Randomiser. It's currently tailored very much to the needs of Item Randomiser, but it shouldn't be that hard to generalise it. The biggest downside to it that I can see is that it doesn't play very nice with the practice of giving long lists of files to COPY (a practice which the cmpvar library does cater to). It also won't be a lot of help for mods that are already tightly coupled with the Tutu/BGT platforms.

 

(It can handle any ITM, ARE, CRE, other resource across BG1/BGEE, Tutu and BGT, correctly handles the exceptions to Tutu's underscore rule and possibly a few other things I have forgotten about. Porting Item Randomiser to BGEE was also a 5-minute job, largely thanks to this abstraction layer.)

 

(Also, I should do more library-fication and less thread-jacking. Sorry.)

[CamDawg]

Nah, more resources are good. If a mod's already using the cpmvars library, they can just drop in a new EE one. However if you've got a better library for doing it from scratch, then I can use that as well.

 

I'm basically looking to write a BGEE mod conversion tutorial at some point, so I'd like to cover as many bases as possible.

I think I have the most recent versions, and wrote an EE one--want me to send them over?

In bg1ub lib is what I use for BG - BGT - Tutu crossmodding, with addition of these:
