A script that works for BG2, EET, and BGT, would not work for BG1: there, AR1800 means something else. As for examples, you may have seen the files. Quote Link to post

Yes I could update them during install; there are thousands of occurrences though, in varying positions. Quite a long tp2 file there. Somehow it seemed easier to use two sets of files. 27 minutes ago, Jarno Mikkola said: If you fail to do so, you have not maintained the compatibility, but failed at it. If you say so. The mod in question is perfectly compatible with BGT and EET now though (original mod was BGT only). 27 minutes ago, Jarno Mikkola said: Say the ar1800.are / ar1800.bcs etc are not in Tutu at all... I think you missed my point See my reply to Jastey above. Quote Link to post

Guest Henanigan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You're welcome. I didn't go into details at first since it seemed a bit off-topic. Sorry if it confused things. Quote Link to post

Well, 2 sets with BG1 and suppose BG2... but add in Tutu; that's 3rd, BGT-weidu; that's 4th, add in EET that's already a 5th, while you can uncomple the files and then use the library files to compile the files depending on the GAME_IS value and you got yourself 1/5th of the job to update, once it works. @jastey, you have the ability to separate parts of the thread, if you feel the need to do so, I'll go ahead and say that maybe you might, if you want.

Guest Henanigan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Jarno, FYI I am using cpmvars -- where possible. I am using GAME_IS. I added these things. The mod now supports Tutu, vanilla BG2, BGT, BG:EE, BG2:EE, and EET. What I did not do, was to rewrite the mod from scratch. Also I am not the one who added parallel scripts. (From the readme, the maintainer at SHS did, although I don't know in what shape the files were back then.) I got rid of a few. Sorry, Jarno, but you are the one coming in from left field here, making wild assumptions and being off by several miles.Have a good night's sleep! Quote Link to post
Guest Henanigan Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Oh, and as for the (previously) BGT only one, it was BGT only for a reason, according to the readme. It turned out to be possible to make it EET compatible as well, though. Quote Link to post
Jarno Mikkola Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I would like to know what mod we are talking about to know a little more, as you haven't exactly revealed that yet. And yes, mod making has had it's moments that have their effects on multiple thing... I for example have had to update a mod from 16 years ago that had what constituded to be 7 lines of code, that used bit adding into use of LPF's that has 900 lines of code.

Correct: at first, it wasn't relevant; then, I was uncertain how appropriate it would be. Now, I wouldn't want this thread (wherever it ends up) to turn up in a web search... We'll just have to leave it at that, for now, and see what happens, if anything. 50 minutes ago, Jarno Mikkola said: And yes, mod making has had it's moments that have their effects on multiple thing...

Me, I don't have that kind of expertise. Working on it though. Quote Link to post

Well, I didn't have it either, but I worked on it, wanted to add additional things, added more and wholla, it became a giant on it's own. Mostly the 850 lines of code is just to add 1 to 20 timers and how they are requested to be made... aka nerd stuff. Edited January 22, 2020 by Jarno Mikkola Quote Link to post

Skitia Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Are there two of these such lists floating around? I swear I recall another one with a slightly different set of mods, namely some of my own were on the other one IIRC. Quote Link to post
jastey Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 @Skitia I'm pretty sure Roxanne has an own one where she links to her own mod versions. If you want your mods on the original list, post in this thread or make a pull request in the GitHub repo. Quote Link to post
