Install Order Discussion

Recommended Posts

Gorilym's got a thread wandering around here somewhere about that. 1PP corrupts paperdolls in the override to force the engine to use the BG versions in the BIFFs. If we can generate legitimate BG paperdolls instead (and it seems progress is being made) then 1PP should be fine.

 

Yeah, basically I found a way to stop Mac 1PP from being such a crashfest. However, after seeing how many (IMHO) superfluous changes 1PP makes, I ended up making a package for my own use with just the paper dolls I'd extracted. A properly-revised-for-OS X version of 1PP wouldn't / shouldn't require that much effort though - if you (Cam) are willing to look it over when I'm done, I could have it ready by next week or thereabouts.

AI/Scripting Mods:

eSeries [G3] (some checking for Tutu still to do?)

gMinion [G3]

 

Do we have confirmation that eSeries 1.7 no longer needs a specific manual fix to _TASIGHT and (another script I can't remember) in order to work on Tutu?

 

(And I bet we probably want to add Mac OS install materials to the install order list, including Mac EasyTutu...)

Yes please. :mad:

Past that everything looks platform-independent.

 

Notes:

 

Edited Baldurdash from [PPG] to [bD], I'm not aware of any BD-PPG connection.

 

Added caution to not install Fixpack on an EasyTutu-ed install.

 

Added mention of EasyTutu Hotfixes

 

It would be nice to have proper hyperlinks for all these entries. :)

I'm taking a look at a work up with all the right current links; what is [bD]? The ancient Baldurdash site? If so, do we have a secondary link just in case Mr. Dorner finally decides to let the site lapse (I am eternally grateful for his work, but I know from the Jagged Alliance/SirTech staff changes, company changes, etc. that things, people, and times all change...)

Not to be a (pest), but... any idea if this might go forward? :) (/pest)

 

Allow me to add that G3 in particular is doing a fantastic job at keeping things as platform-neutral as practical, obviously with major kudos to Loriel, Gorilym et al.
