Everything else installed fine, but "Identify all items" fails with:

Tweak-Pack Bug-hunting to-do:

 

1. Create fresh BG2 install.

2. Use Multiple-Install Tool to make new BG2 install you can fiddle with without buggering original install.

3. Install your usual mods.

4. Every time an install chokes, check the debug file to find the file it choked on.

5. Remove the file from the biffs and the override folder temporarily.

6. Rerun the install that just choked.

7. Rinse and repeat until the install doesn't choke any more.

8. If you want to play in that same directory, just copy back to the override the files you temporarily moved out of the biffs and override folder.

 

That way, you remove the burden from the coders of actually replicating your install and trying to find the bugs themselves, and can forward them info. that they can use easily. :)

 

Incidentally, BUB3.CRE is from DSotSC.

 

:love:

Well, I have NO objection to posting the files... I'm not sure which one you actually want (dsotsc backup, ntotsc backup, bg2 tweaks backup, or the active file), but since the zip file with all four is 2KB, I might as well pass them all!! Enjoy!!

 

hmmm... how do I attach a file to this message??

 

Let's try it this way: I put it on my web page, here's the link:

Hope that works...

You could always run one of these

ACTION_IF FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~bub3.cre~ THEN BEGIN
 COPY_EXISTING ~bub3.cre~	 ~override~
PATCH_IF SOURCE_SIZE > 0x02ec THEN BEGIN
  READ_ASCII 0x02dc ~check~
  PATCH_IF (~%check%~ STRING_EQUAL ~bub~) THEN BEGIN
	DELETE_BYTES 0x0234 0x0010
  END
END
 BUT_ONLY
END

before installing tweaks.

 

Does anyone have that broken imoen15.cre handy, by the way?

Yeah, the dilemma for me is that dsotsc/ntotsc are the largest mods available for BG, and I *really* want to play them, but clearly they have problems (especially when combined with any other mod), so they're hard to get working. On top of that, I start running out of energy after about six re-installs of everything, which I've already done now.

 

I have tremendous respect for those of you who are maintaining these mods!! This re-install process must just be part of your lives, like feeding the cats before I go to bed...

Well, I re-installed the whole mess again, except this time (1) I didn't use the WorldMap (I was having a separate problem with that), and I used the versions of dsotsc/ntotsc which are not for the WorldMap. Unfortunately, the Identify (bub3.cre) problem is still present.

 

Nythrun:

I'm not a modder, just a player... what would I do with that fragment of code that you included?? Put in a separate file?? Put at the beginning of the bg2-tweaks??

 

Mind you, it's too late for me to do this "before installing tweaks", I already installed tweaks (I was *really* hoping the non-WorldMap build would work... sigh). Can I still run it, or is it too late??

I do hope you at least have a clean backup of your override folder and dialog.tlk ???

 

Pasting that into the section of tweaks that alters shopkeepers - they'll look like this:

/////												  \\\\\
///// only mages and bards							 \\\\\
/////												  \\\\\

BEGIN @219001 DESIGNATED 2190 // only mages n bards
GROUP @9
SUBCOMPONENT @219000 // limited storekeeper id ability

right after the SUBCOMPONENT @somenumber line ought to do it - there's several of these, so either paste it into the version you'd like to use or paste it into all of them, then install that component :) I don't think Cam will mind :love:

 

There may be other problem files, though.
