Guest Morrigan Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hello, First, thanks for providing the multi-install tool, has made things a lot easier ! One problem I'm finding though: my PCs always start at level 0, with no experience. A value for clone starting experience is definately entered though. Any ideas ? Levelling characters up from 0 is fun, but . . . I'm running on windows XP. Thanks again, Morrigan Link to comment
Orions_Stardom Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't have a system I can test this on at the moment - can anyone else confirm that this is happening? Link to comment
Guest Morrigan Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm not sure what I could be doing to be causing this problem. Is there any way I can set the starting xp after the multi-install, by editing a file perhaps ? Link to comment
Orions_Stardom Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think that it's in baldur.exe somewhere (hence why there are apps around to edit it for you) - TeamBG used to have an app to change it, so you could try it if you can find it, but I seem to remember it not working well with cloned games (hence why MIT has this in the first place). What version of the game do you have? That is, do you have TOB, and are you patched? (only the official patch should make any difference). From memory, we don't support unpatched TOB for various reasons, and this could be a side-effect of that (if you have unpatched TOB). Failing that, we can only wait for conformation so we know if this is a bug in MIT, or something strange in your setup. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I'm running with TOB, TOB patch 26498, and the Balderdash fixpack 112. It seems likely to be a fault with my setup somehow, maybe someone else can confirm their MIT is working fine. Link to comment
andrewas Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Well, I'd like to say that this is a subtle bug that even the most experienced coders could have missed but, the truth is, I simply forgot to read the desired setting before patching. Cant compile a new one tonight, and I ran across another bug while looking through the source. I'll try and have a fixed version ready tomorrow. In the meantime, if you want to fix the XP yourself, use a hex editor to edit BGmain.exe in your clone folder, change offset 6B7258 to whatever starting experience you want. The default is 89'000, so you would want to enter A8 5B 01 00 . My preferred hex editor is XVI32, which google should be able to find easily enough. Link to comment
Orions_Stardom Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 MIT v4.1 is now up with this fix. Link to comment
