EET v13.4 released


Recommended Posts

a difference of 1240 files

 

 

 

Thanks, argent. 445 files will be most likely the MOS area minimaps missing in Beamdog distribution. No idea about the rest. I've read your topic on Beamdog forums regarding broken STATES.BAM in Steam version. Same problem doesn't exist in Beamdog store distribution... Supporting 3 (or more) different versions instead of 1?

Always felt Beamdog tackled too many clients in the beginning when EE became a thing, it should have been done after they made final patches for better stability for one single platform. I felt this was the reason patches took so long as it did because they're tackling multiple versions of the same game with very different to slightly different processes.

The override folder of the Steam version contains the fixed STATES.BAM and STATES2.BAM (probably a last minute fix that didn't find its way into the Beamdog version) as well as a WAV file.

MOS is indeed mainly area minimaps. The BMP section contains additional item description images. But since Beamdog reverted from description BMPs back to BAMs a long time ago, this shouldn't matter either.

All in all it seems to be mainly leftover files in the Steam version.

let's do the full comparison. This mod creates "new.txt" and "missing.txt" files based on all the resources present in game in comparssion to Beamdog store release:



After the mod finishes comparison whole compare_distribution directory can be safely deleted (it doesn't produce weidu.log entry). The mod should be run on a clean installation of BG:EE+SoD with latest patch (after using modmerge). Before the next release following distributions needs to be tested:

- GoG

- Steam


Thanks in advance.





I'll keep a eye out for any more reports besides what has been posted here in Gibberlings 3 EET forum, I guess those hotfixes posted in other topics will need to be integrated into EET later?



yes

OK, Otacon, now I see what's what. Everything works fine with the full v2.5 GOG installers; however, if you use the v2.3 GOG installers and the smaller v2.5 GOG update, your check prints this:

CButt.bam exists in game

BPENDA.2DA DOESN'T exists in game

And the missing.txt output:

Funnily enough, the in-game menu reports the version numbers as v2.5.17.0 for both BGEE and SoD.

Either I'm using the GOG update in a wrong way, or it's updating the game in a wrong way.

Xam, thank you. Looks like your report contradics skellytz's post which mentions that bpenda.2da is missing in GOG release. Could you please install this code as well and report back if the file is found in your game?

Installing [BPENDA_check] [beta 0.1]

CButt.bam exists in game

BPENDA.2DA exists in game

Somehow missed Skellytz post above, sorry. Anyways, seems like issue is with GOG version incremental patch as opposed to full install.

Thanks for testing. Definately looks like GOG incremental patch is not working as indented and with stuff like BCS files missing the game would be bugged even without using EET. Just to be sure - these files don't exist in override directory after using GOG incremental patch? (the code that compares the game content ignores override directory, but the fact that BPENDA.2DA was not detected via FILE_EXIST_IN_GAME weidu check suggests that they are not present in game files at all).


I think it's GOG who prepares the incremental patches, not Beamdog, so sending the GOG support team a link to this post would be a good idea. In the meantime I will add missing files to the EET package and copy them if needed.


edit: skellytz, if there are files in override directory after using GOG incremental patch please use new version of compare_distribution mod and post a missing.txt list again. It now takes override into account, so it will be the exact list of files that I need to add to EET package: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0b3xrctxyv958l4/compare_distributionV2.zip?dl=1

The override was empty. I think what's going on is that the manual incremental update only patches BGEE v2.3 content, doesn't warn against making SoD v2.3 incompatible, and then the in-game menu confusingly reports SoD to be updated to v2.5. If you use GOG Galaxy, it probably automatically downloads the full SoD v2.5 installer.

 

I'm not sure if including the missing files is necessary with all this in mind. Lesson learned: just download the full updated installers to be on the safe side.

when will be the next Release to be expected ?

 

once I finish testing this stuff. I'm a bit busy right now, so it may take few more days.
There are 3 hotfixes available for RC11, all related to patch 2.5 changes:

Will there be a patch for the (GOG-) Patch?

 

no, just download full GoG release instead of incremental patch. Due to amount of missing files it's pretty obvious that GoG incremental patch is just for BG:EE, not for BG:EE+SoD. Even if I add missing files to the package there would be still differences in scripts. If GoG doesn't provide incremental patch for SoD, it should be reported to GoG technical team - maybe they are not aware about this problem.
