K4thos Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) 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? Edited August 26, 2018 by K4thos Quote Link to comment
Kaliesto Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment
argent77 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment
K4thos Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) 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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0n9kipjvhgzxyol/compare_distribution.zip?dl=1 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 Edited August 27, 2018 by K4thos Quote Link to comment
Xarn Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 GOG version, fresh install + modmerge https://pastebin.com/xiyVEkB2 missing.txt is empty Quote Link to comment
K4thos Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) 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? Edited August 27, 2018 by K4thos Quote Link to comment
argent77 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Result for Steam version is identical to GOG version: empty missing.txt and identical content in new.txt. Quote Link to comment
skellytz Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 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: BDALLDIE.SPL BDBARD20.BCS BDCLER20.BCS BDCLER21.BCS BDCLER22.BCS BDCLER23.BCS BDCLER24.BCS BDCLER25.BCS BDCLER26.BCS BDCLER27.BCS BDCLER28.BCS BDCLER29.BCS BDCLER30.BCS BDCLER31.BCS BDCLER32.BCS BDCLER33.BCS BDCLER34.BCS BDCLER35.BCS BDCLER36.BCS BDCLER37.BCS BDCLER38.BCS BDCLER39.BCS BDCLER40.BCS BDCLMA20.BCS BDCLMA21.BCS BDCLMA22.BCS BDDRUI20.BCS BDEFREET.CRE BDELFIRG.CRE BDELFIRM.CRE BDFCLE20.BCS BDFF1248.BCS BDFF1248.CRE BDFF1248.DLG BDFIGH10.BCS BDFIGH11.BCS BDFIGH20.BCS BDFIGH21.BCS BDFIGH22.BCS BDFIGH23.BCS BDFIGH24.BCS BDFIGH25.BCS BDFIGH26.BCS BDFIGH27.BCS BDFIGH28.BCS BDFIGH29.BCS BDFIGH30.BCS BDFIGH31.BCS BDFIGH32.BCS BDFIGH33.BCS BDFIGH34.BCS BDFIGH35.BCS BDFIGH36.BCS BDFIGH37.BCS BDFIGH38.BCS BDFIGH39.BCS BDFIGH40.BCS BDFIGH41.BCS BDFIGH42.BCS BDFIGH43.BCS BDFIGH44.BCS BDFMAG20.BCS BDFMAG21.BCS BDFMAG22.BCS BDFMAG23.BCS BDFTHI20.BCS BDKEGX.BCS BDKEGX.CRE BDMAGE20.BCS BDMAGE21.BCS BDMAGE22.BCS BDMAGE23.BCS BDMAGE24.BCS BDMAGE25.BCS BDMAGE26.BCS BDMAGE27.BCS BDMAGE28.BCS BDMAGE29.BCS BDMAGE30.BCS BDMAGE31.BCS BDMAGE32.BCS BDMAGE33.BCS BDMAGE34.BCS BDMAGE35.BCS BDMAGE36.BCS BDMAGE37.BCS BDMAGE38.BCS BDMAGE39.BCS BDMAGE40.BCS BDMAGE41.BCS BDMAGE42.BCS BDMISC68.ITM BDPAL20.BCS BDPFIRAI.BAM BDPFIRRI.BAM BDPFIRXI.BAM BDPFIRXI.VVC BDPRIS01.CRE BDPRIS02.CRE BDPRIS03.CRE BDPRISD1.BCS BDPRISD1.CRE BDPRISD2.CRE BDPRISGU.CRE BDPRISON.BCS BDPRISON.DLG BDRAT2.CRE BDREP.SPL BDREP1.SPL BDSUMFIR.SPL BDTHIE10.BCS BDUROLD.BCS BDUROLD.CRE BDUROLD.DLG BPENDA.2DA DNDLOGO.BAM SLDRBACK.BAM SPFIRIMP.VVC SPSHKIMP.VVC 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. Quote Link to comment
Xarn Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited August 27, 2018 by Xarn Quote Link to comment
Lundar Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hellol, so, there is a difference between update and full install ? Will baldur.lua be changed in any way or will it stay the same as 2.3 ? So rename old install and make a new full install under the original name will work ? Quote Link to comment
K4thos Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited August 28, 2018 by K4thos Quote Link to comment
skellytz Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment
Lundar Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hello, just one Question: Will there be a patch for the (GOG-) Patch? And for what part: BGEE/SoD and/or BG2EE ? Quote Link to comment
Lundar Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Aehem, when will be the next Release to be expected ? or will there be a patch for the missing (GoG-) files ? Quote Link to comment
K4thos Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) 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: Chapter 4: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29560&do=findComment&comment=261916 Marek and Lothander quest: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29585&do=findComment&comment=262083 SoD GUI: http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29586 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. Edited September 4, 2018 by K4thos Quote Link to comment
