I *HATE* this fix!


Recommended Posts

I can't seem to find most of the altered .dlgs in the TP2. Are they stored in another file type? How would I go about removing/comment them out?

 

BTW Small typo on one of the comments:

// Varscona is unique; repacing all references excet Ribald's with generic +2 sword

Got them, Nythrun. Thanks.

 

A few more comment typos (this probably isn't the place for this, but you can always ban me :)):

 

COPY_EXISTING ~chan20.itm~ ~override~ // white dragon scale

~dwplat01.itm~ ~override~ // drow full plate +5

~leat19.itm~ ~override~ // white dragon scale

~misc5x.itm~ ~override~ // harper pin

PATCH_IF (SOURCE_SIZE > 0x71) THEN BEGIN // protects against invalid files

READ_BYTE 0x29 "use"

WRITE_BYTE 0x29 ("%use%" BOR 0b00010000) // adds shapeshifter flag

Leat19.itm is Shadow Dragon Scale.

Greetings everyone

 

I must say that there is only one thing about the pack that I'd like to use - Edwin-Edwina soundset fix. The thing is - there's no way I am going to start messing with the files myself just to get it alone; I don't have the knowledge to do so.

 

So, I was thinking if someone could isolate this one fix for me and perhaps upload it somewhere/send it to me once it's ready to go? Having absolutely no idea how big deal it is to do for someone who would know what he is doing I know that I can't order anyone to do so - but if someone could I'd be most grateful.

 

Cheers,

Christian.

Grab this file, and also a copy of WeiDU (which you can also get by copying the setup-modname.exe for any mods you happen to have lying around). Rename that copy of WeiDU to "setup-edwin_soundset.exe" without the quotes. Put both files in your BGII folder and double click the setup-edwin_soundset.exe.

 

There's about half a dozen other errors with the Edwin sequence which you won't get fixed this way, though.

Can I, when using a text editor, instead of doing a //, can I just delete the command? Would that work? I just want Cernd's high level dialogue fix, nothing else.

 

On that note, if that is possible (and I do it), can I use Baulderdash to fix other things (especially if they have nothing to do with Cernd.

 

Personally, I wish this fix pack was listed like Baldurdash does it. You can pick and chose what to download/install (or not download/install).

Yep.

Probably... as long as you made sure that they don't interact destructively with the same files (or just on the same files period).

There's a lot of changes... I think most people who use the core component do so in its entirety or near-entirety because they'd prefer that bugs they might encounter in their game had already been discovered and fixed by someone else.

For the record, Fixpack has included a 'secret component' to help players unfix stuff for years now, including the requests in this thread (minus the Jaheira/Viconia spell changes, as those have been dropped from the Fixpack outright). It's at the bottom of the tp2, and can be activated by deleting the line helpfully labeled

DEPRECATED ~delete this line to make this component active~

If anyone has more Hated Fixes they wish rolled back on their personal installs, we're (still) willing to accommodate.
