Daelomin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Okay, so I've been trying to get a Mega mod (EET via BWS) going for the past few days after a few hiccups and trying to sort out errors I thought I finally managed to successfully get an install to complete this morning.Unfortunately this appears to not be the case, as when I try to launch the game via the EET desktop shortcut created during the install, nothing happens. A quick look in Task Manager shows that Baldur.exe is indeed a current process (clocking in at around 12-13 CPU and about 46K memory) but I'm still just staring at my desktop and nothing is coming up.Anyone have any ideas on what's going on? Any suggestions on how I can get this install up and running? I'm eager for another playthrough BiG World Debug.7z WeiDU.log Link to comment

Roxanne Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you know to handle Near infinity and you know which is offending string you can edit the error out, It would be in dialog.tlk. Try to find a string that says The courtesan Bartus had a very unpleasant incident with a very angry fiancé, but I cannot take care of everything, (Of course you need to omit the underlined word and replace it with fiance.) + some more The courtesan Bartus had to be saved by me from a very angry fiancé. He took off to Baldur's Gate. He will try to get work in the Low Lantern where he has a friend, Gunther. The courtesan Bartus had a very unpleasant incident with a very angry fiancé. I guess that idiot didn't expect his last act to be so... final. Best search for "Bartus the Romantic* there are several journal entries for him. Link to comment
Daelomin Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 To be totally honest, I don't really care enough about Romantic Encounters to go into that much depth unless it's absolutely necessary to save myself from having to do another full re-install.With that in mind, is it at all possible to just uninstall bg1re at this point, or would doing that end up in requiring the full redo?

My hint was not intended to repair a mod but to repair dialog.tlk in a section that hinders the GUI to load. And we are not even sure if those are the right lines that I quoted. I am just trying to provide options of where to look, I cannot analyse the whole problem from afar. Just what I would do in your place - see if those lines are in your game, If yes, repair them, See if it helps. If not, re-install. Link to comment

What I do have though are a bunch of black "NUL" entries, which I don't think are supposed to be there (when opened in Notepad++).You can't assume that the dialog.tlk open with a #¤%& text editor, hello someone has been sleeping for their whole life to assume this, cause you need to open the file with a correct tool like the Near Infinity... or at least extract the dialog.tlk file with it to a .txt format, with it or the DLTCEP. The nul's are there for reasons that involve data handling... in hexadecimal files, just like every other file your computer has. Try and open the baldur.exe with Notepad++, it will likely give you a lot of the nul's too. Just for the record. Link to comment

Ikki Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Like i write you on SHS, your game is not loading because your GUI may be corrupted Cannot patch UI.MENUERROR: [ui.menu] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("Cannot patch UI.MENU"))Stopping installation because of error. That's why the mod reveal hidden gameplay options give you thoses errors If an install give you errors, it's best to start a new one with less mods Link to comment

Based on looking for black characters in Notepad++ as outlined in the post I linked in my comment above this one, I've found one culprit so far: Sarah, is here!

Can it be uninstalled or any other modification done to the install to get it to function, or am I looking at having to completely reinstall from scratch again? again, the game crashed during quest initialization, so it's not due to GUI but likely some mod that use ADD_JOURNAL It's unrelated to EET. This can be confirmed by opening up BGEE.LUA located in override directory and removing every "createQuest" and "createEntry" lines below "function buildQuestsTable()". If the game can be started after this than problematic string can be found by re-adding those lines in portions - long and annoying work. Link to comment
jastey Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 bg1re was updated to v2.1 four days ago. The text format hickup is fixed. Link to comment
Daelomin Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Okay I got the game to launch finally after a fresh install with some changed mods, as well as some light editing of certain characters in the dialog.tlk file. Everything looked good through character creation and I played through the Candlekeep intro and got to the point of witnessing Gorion's death. imoen has joined up with me, as has Sandrah.Now I have an issue with spellbooks with Sandrah, however. The game interface indicates that she should be able to memorize 5 level 1 spells and 2 level 2 spells, but in reality I can only get 4 level 1 spells and 0 level 2. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue and how to fix it?So close yet so far! EDIT: tried to upload current debug log and WeiDU log, but I'm getting an 'exceeded your allotted disk space for attachments' error.
