Wrong chapter background images


Recommended Posts

something went wrong with my installation, the image that appears in the prologue is from SOD

i suspect it has something to do with bgee classic movies but i am not sureinstall.txt

I learned that bgee.lua selects which image to use

chapterBackgrounds[0] = "GUICHP0B"
chapterBackgrounds[1] = "GUICHP1B"
chapterBackgrounds[2] = "GUICHP2B"
chapterBackgrounds[3] = "GUICHP3B"
chapterBackgrounds[4] = "GUICHP4B"
chapterBackgrounds[5] = "GUICHP5B"
chapterBackgrounds[6] = "GUICHP6B"
chapterBackgrounds[7] = "GUICHP7B"
chapterBackgrounds[8] = "GUICHP8B"
chapterBackgrounds[9] = "GUICHP9B"
chapterBackgrounds[10] = "GUICHP10B"
chapterBackgrounds[11] = "GUICHP11B"
chapterBackgrounds[12] = "GUICHP12B"
chapterBackgrounds[13] = "GUICHP13B"

i am pretty sure they are all from SOD, not only that but more than half  of the lines are empty

chapterBackgrounds[14] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[15] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[16] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[17] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[18] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[19] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[20] = "BPEND"

 

chapterBackgrounds[52] = "GUIDRM2"
chapterBackgrounds[53] = "GUIDRM3"
chapterBackgrounds[54] = "GUIDRM4"
chapterBackgrounds[55] = "GUIDRM5"
chapterBackgrounds[56] = "GUIDRM6"
chapterBackgrounds[57] = "GUIDRM7"
chapterBackgrounds[58] = "ARRIVE"
chapterBackgrounds[59] = "LEAVE"
chapterBackgrounds[60] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[61] = ""
chapterBackgrounds[62] = ""

Checking the unmodified version (BGEE with SoD) ...

Spoiler
chapterBackgrounds[0] = "GUICHP0A"
chapterBackgrounds[1] = "GUICHP1A"
chapterBackgrounds[2] = "GUICHP2A"
chapterBackgrounds[3] = "GUICHP3A"
chapterBackgrounds[4] = "GUICHP4A"
chapterBackgrounds[5] = "GUICHP5A"
chapterBackgrounds[6] = "GUICHP6A"
chapterBackgrounds[7] = "GUICHP7A"
chapterBackgrounds[8] = "GUICHP1B"
chapterBackgrounds[9] = "GUICHP2B"
chapterBackgrounds[10] = "GUICHP3B"
chapterBackgrounds[11] = "GUICHP4B"
chapterBackgrounds[12] = "GUICHP5B"
chapterBackgrounds[13] = "GUICHP6B"

chapterBackgrounds[20] = "BPEND"

chapterBackgrounds[52] = "GUIDRM2"
chapterBackgrounds[53] = "GUIDRM3"
chapterBackgrounds[54] = "GUIDRM4"
chapterBackgrounds[55] = "GUIDRM5"
chapterBackgrounds[56] = "GUIDRM6"
chapterBackgrounds[57] = "GUIDRM7"
chapterBackgrounds[58] = "ARRIVEA"
chapterBackgrounds[59] = "LEAVEA"

chapterBackgrounds[100] = "GUICHP6B"

 

The "GUICHP#A" files are associated with the main BG1 campaign, while the "GUICHP#B" go with the SoD campaign. Extension MOS, by the way. The empty entries look irrelevant to me; those go from being undefined in the original to being empty strings in your modified version.

Oh, and the entries like "GUICHP10B" in your version run into the eight-character limit on resource names. Those most likely get cut off to "GUICHP10" and so on, which do at least have MOS files - three low-res copies of GUICHP1A and then a black screen.

Yes, whatever mod did this definitely did things wrong.

... wait. Checking things, those chapterBackgrounds values match those from the versions of bgee.lua in non-SoD BGEE and in BG2EE. Which are the regular BGEE chapter images, at least for those that are present (0B to 8B).

Siege of Dragonspear changes the underlying system, and the mod appears to be aware of that ... but if you're trying to mod a version of the game that still has a zipped-up DLC archive, some of the mod's changes will be overwritten by that archive. That breaks things.
