BG2EE v2.3 Windows 7 (64 Bit) INSTALL PROBLEMS


Endarire

Recommended Posts

Most original game files are stored in BIF archives in the BG2EE\data folder. When WeiDU patches original game files, it unpacks them from the BIF archives and then puts the modified copies in the override folder. Unless you've lost your original BIF archive files (which would never happen due to installing a WeiDU mod), you should still have the original spell.ids in data\default.bif.

 

Reading the debug log in the thread you linked, I see that Wheels itself makes a copy of spell.ids and patches it, and then later fails to find an entry in the file. It's possible that Wheels is corrupting the ids file in the earlier step. If you have a spell.ids file in your override folder right now (that would be the pre-Wheels version because the install failed and rolled back), then please paste the contents of that spell.ids here in [spoiler ] [/spoiler ] tags so we can take a look at it. Assuming that file looks OK, then Wheels itself might be causing the issue. Otherwise, I guess one of the other mods you installed before is corrupting spell.ids.

 

Edit: I just tried installing Wheels v5 on a clean copy of BG2EE with the latest patch and it fails. So the problem is probably not with any of the other mods. Someone will have to take a closer look (maybe me, but can't right now).

 

Edit 2: See http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28142&page=2&do=findComment&comment=245217 This is a solution for Pietato's installation failure.

 

The issue with dw#melri and SCS (original topic discussed at the beginning of this thread) is still not solved however.

There was a change in the format of the spell.ids table in EE. In original BG, the first row of the table was a blank line. In EE, the first row is "IDS V1.0".

 

Wheels of Prophecy's install script is trying to patch spell.ids to make sure it has all of the necessary spell entries used by the mod, and it is failing because that new first row isn't in the expected format (a number followed by a spell name).

 

There is a patch in the BiG World Fixpack that patches Wheels' code to avoid this error (notice how the patch skips row 0 for EE -- rows are counted from zero):

The Fixpack also patches another section of Wheels' code for the same reason:

If you use BWS (https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/44476/tool-big-world-setup-bws-mod-manager-for-baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-trilogy-for-windows) then the BiG World Fixpack patches will be applied automatically for you. Otherwise you can download the Fixpack manually from https://github.com/BiGWorldProject/BiG-World-Fixpack/archive/master.zip (ignore the releases, they are out of date). Unpack the contents of the BiG-World-Fixpack-master folder into your BG2 folder (BiG World Fixpack.bat should be at the same level as BGMain.exe). Run the Fixpack bat(ch) script once after you unpack all of the other mods you plan to install, but before you run any of the setup-modname installers. The Fixpack will detect which mod folders are there and will apply any patches it has for those mods. Afterwards you can install the mods by running their setup installers as usual.
As for BG2 Fixpack, that was already incorporated into EE by Beamdog and does not need to be (should not be) installed manually by EE users.
As for Oversight, was that updated for EE?

Wow! Cheers bro. Will try it now. Thank you for the quick response.

 

I only tested the fixpack to see if that fixed it, seeing as the mod creator said he did everything with it installed. As for Oversight, I have no idea if it was updated for EE, but it is only one part of the mod which fails.

Hmmmn...I cannot get it to work using the second method. It says it has updated the mods and changed the 0 thing, but I get the same error when I go to install Wheels. Do I need to do a fresh install, deleting everything after I have uninstalled? Unfortunately I cannot use BWS because Steam is installed under programme files.

Does this code:


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// BGEE unhelpfully adds a duplicate WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC ids entry for SPWI302
// and adds a number of SPCL entries but doesn't provide IDS entries for them
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

ACTION_IF enhanced_edition BEGIN
  COPY_EXISTING spell.ids override
    COUNT_2DA_ROWS 2 rowcount
    FOR (i=1;i<rowcount;i+=1) BEGIN
       READ_2DA_ENTRY i 1 2 ids
       PATCH_IF "%ids%" STRING_EQUAL "WIZARD_REMOVE_MAGIC" BEGIN
           REMOVE_2DA_ROW i 2
           SET i=rowcount
       END
    END
  BUT_ONLY
END

is still needed for EE 2.3 ?
