When I attempt to complete the Semaj cleanup quest, upon saying "I have a better idea", Semaj simply leaves the Undercellars and disappears (smart move!)

Oh that's hilarious.  Another thing I've struggled to fix in v2, but at least that is funny.

The Jon in Hell movie played twice, once between part of the queen's dialog, and once after.  The second time the game automatically move into ToB. 

Can you send me your weidu log?  I'd like to find out which mod Transitions is having issues with.

A little investigation should that #L_Cut10.bcs was never compiled. 

Thank you for catching that!  I'll get that fixed for v2.

I think I set the order to I4E - Transitions for PI (although there is probably no real reason to do so).

Transitions uses I4E's globals to alter it's behavior, so it's all run-time decisions versus install-time decisions.

Is this mod fully compatible with Imoen 4 Ever?  Which order should they be installed in?

Yes, it is.  The order doesn't matter to Transitions.

Yeah that's in issue introduced with the new Beamdog patch.  It'll be fixed in version 2.

I'll look into it.  Thank you for reporting!

Dude!  Glad to see you here.  I watch your stuff up on YouTube.  You have me hooked.

Multiplayer Tweaks by Lauriel

This mod is to put forth fixes for multiplayer sessions. 

Components:

• Take it outside (not for IWD2) - mobs may follow the party through doors
• NEW pause game when NPCs turn hostile during dialogues

The mod has been tested in EET, but should be compatible with all IE games

v2 added Designated statements to the TP2 file and the new Pause Game component

Readme

That gives an easy in-game way for the player to turn off the functionality if they desire.  I'm ok with that.

Thank you!

I'm adding a script block and would like it to be universal to as many games as possible.  I've put the block in DPlayer3 but thought maybe Baldur.bcs would be better.  I don't own original Baldur's Gate so I can't check.

He always shows up at the Promenade for me

Correction: Sort of works - I mean the dialogue files are all updated correctly, however the pause doesn't happen.  The PauseGame() action might not work in dialogues.  I've only used it in scripts before.  So I'll change my code to call a cut scene script that pauses the game instead.  That would work better anyway.  I can test for multiplayer that way.

Just now, lynx said:

But wait, it this over the whole game or your mod files?

All dialogue files.

I have it working.  Here's the code:

DEFINE_ACTION_FUNCTION enemy_pause BEGIN
	// Go through all the dialogue files
	COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~.+\.dlg~ ~override~
		// Go through all the file's actions
		READ_LONG (0x0028) offset_actions
		READ_LONG (0x002c) num_actions
		
		FOR (idx_action = 0; idx_action < num_actions; ++idx_action) BEGIN
			// Get the start and length of the action string
			READ_LONG (offset_actions + (idx_action * 0x0008)) offset_string 
			READ_LONG (offset_actions + 0x0004 + (idx_action * 0x0008)) len_string

			// Fetch the current action string
			READ_ASCII offset_string cur_string (len_string)
			
			// See if it contains the word 'Enemy()'
			PATCH_IF ("%cur_string%" STRING_CONTAINS_REGEXP "Enemy()") = 0 BEGIN				
				// Add 'PauseGame()' to the end of the command string
				INSERT_BYTES (offset_string + len_string) 0x000b
				WRITE_ASCII (offset_string + len_string) "PauseGame()"
				
				// Update the string length in the section header
				WRITE_LONG (offset_actions + 0x0004 + (idx_action * 0x0008)) (len_string + 0x000b)
				
				// Update all the following string starting positions
				FOR (next_action = (idx_action + 1); next_action < num_actions; ++next_action) BEGIN
					READ_LONG (offset_actions + (next_action * 0x0008)) offset_next
					WRITE_LONG (offset_actions + (next_action * 0x0008)) (offset_next + 0x000b)
				END
			END
		END
		
	BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES
END

I guess I can go through all the actions in each file directly without using a normal .d file to update, do some sort of string comparison on each action, then if found, append 'PauseGame()' to the end.

I'll try this.

In a normal game, if you have the game set up to pause when you see an enemy, the pause works fine when an NPC turns hostile during a dialogue.  However, it doesn't pause in multiplayer games. I'd like to add a PauseGame() to the end of the action list in these cases.

I can't use a simple search and replace for ~Enemy()~ ~Enemy() PauseGame()~ because it could be inside an ActionOverride.

I'm at a loss on how to accomplish this.  Any ideas?

So...if for example, I want to see if SixofSpades Extended Sarevok's Diary is installed, I'm sort of reliant upon the players using the newest version of BG1NPC.  I can't check for both component 31 (old number) and 130 (new number) because 31 in the new version is something entirely different.

You guys hate me, right? LOL

AFAIK he spawns there when the game is in Chapter 7.

Doesn't sound like it would be affected then.

Hey,

Do you have any idea if this alternative chapter 6 is compatible with the second part of Bonehill?

Sorry - I don't even know what Bonehill is.

bg1npc is updated to v27 with hopefully corrected install order syntax with regard to Framed.

Thank you! :)

As for why, I am not sure - perhaps one of my other mods moves him,

Thank you for the log.  I'll investigate.  My initial stab in the dark would be ARESTORATIONP. I guess it doesn't matter, though.  The fix that I put in place doesn't care if he's there or not.

A new version of Framed has been released fixing this issue.

I'll add a check to the dialogue.  In the meantime, you can spawn the Gatewarden by putting C:CreateCreature("GATEWA2") in the console.

Why wasn't the Gatewarden present for the conversation?  Is this something I need to work around?

Hi! Any news about the 2.0 update? 

Can it be possible to start translating already? (I mean the github masret version). Or the texts are still in the process of being changed/added?

 

Sorry - I'm still working on the final version

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this one - tested on both SoD and BG2:EE GUIs. Anyone else with this problem?

I'm sorry - I should have updated.  It had to do with an update on my machine unrelated to EET or Baldur's Gate games in general.  With another update, everything is back to working fine.
