CamDawg Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (Before the officialish announcement: I didn't have nearly the time to include all of the fixes posted before releasing, particularly a lot of Nythrun's excellent stuff. Apologies--I wanted to get this out by the end of the weekend to fix the demon running wild in Suldanessellar.) The BG2 Fixpack is a WeiDU compilation of fixes for Baldur's Gate II. With the disappearance of Kevin Dorner and the cessation of activity of the Baldurdash fixpack for BG2, several modders and myself began working on a new WeiDU fixpack to address the numerous bugs that have been identified since Baldurdash. This collaborative effort, including the work of modders from several different modding communities, has resulted in a fixpack that currently includes all of the fixes addressed by Baldurdash (including the Game Text Update) and several hundred new bugfixes. The project is ongoing, and we're working through a substantial list of bugs culled from various sites, the old Baldurdash forums, and our own research. Beta 4 includes a new French translatio, courtesy of Anomaly. Several new fixes have been included and miscellaneous issues found since the last release have been addressed. Bard Song Fixes has been added as a new OBC component.

Gorilym Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Just as an FYI: Looks like the project page still has the beta 2 info - no mention of the three new(er) OBC components, the Item Upgrade compatibility note is outdated, and there's no mention of the issue with Restored Minor Dialogs from UB. The actual beta 4 readme is of course up to date, but methinks it's a bad thing that the main project page has info that conflicts with it. Great work on the new release, hopefully this will be the last beta! Link to comment
CamDawg Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I updated the docs pages, but missed the main one--it's been updated as well. Thanks! Link to comment
Ithildur Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I updated the docs pages, but missed the main one--it's been updated as well. Thanks! Has the Unlimited limited wish and wish component from TBTweaks been removed? It's no longer in the documentation as a part of core fixes, a change from the previous version. Link to comment
Ithildur Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Has the Unlimited limited wish and wish component from TBTweaks been removed? It's no longer in the documentation as a part of core fixes, a change from the previous version. It was never actually in there - Fixpack hasn't set Limited Wish to schoolless at all That's not the fix I was refering to. From the readme for the previous version: The following mods are included and do not need to be installed: Baldurdash or any other fixpack: BG2 Fixpack remains the most comprehensive fixpack to date. We used the bug lists from previous efforts to fix bugs as a starting point. If the bugs aren't already fixed by the Fixpack they will be in future versions. Oversight (as of v7): etc etc The Bigg Tweak Pack (as of v2.01): The 'Unlimited Limited Wish and Wish' component is included. Link to comment
