K4thos

For example, the creature BSHOP02 has a bugged name text : "This humble staff radiates...". How do I figure out which mod is doing this? Do any of the weidu logs tell you which file was modified?

Extract this archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vaf9kietqk3h7rm/change-log.zip?dl=1

1. Run changelog.bat and check if any mod is listed there. Post the list here and upload BSHOP02.CRE located in override directory if the file has been affected by some mod.

2. Use traify-tlk.bat and upload strings.tra file that will be created after using it.

3. Also add a save made near that problematic creature to the package.

You can upload files on external site like sendspace.com or dropbox.com

So just 3909 limes that uses a .bat to 168 limes(well, 163) ... that likely manages it differently.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about (limes?). You were meant to look for macros that are mentioned in the linked file, not compare whole macros.tph file (which contains tens of different macros and functions unrelated to the linked peace of code, some are not even used by EET main component). What you see in the linked lua file is almost 1:1 equivalent to weidu code mentioned there (literally line by line, that's why it looks so ugly). From what I remeber the only change is using data stored in lua tables instead of weidu associative arrays (and those tables are generated from weidu weidu associative arrays, so it's the exact same thing either way).

-------------------

ACTION_FOR_EACH spell IN [list of spells] BEGIN
  OUTER_SET match_var = 0
  ACTION_IF (~%spell%~ STRING_MATCHES_REGEXP ~%my_regexp%~) = 0 BEGIN
    OUTER_SET match_var = 1
  END
  ACTION_IF match_var = 0 BEGIN
    [apply spell effects to enemy .CREs]
  END
END

I might be intrested in seeing what the original looked like ? So I could compare and contrast...

 

 

the linked file mentions original weidu macro names and file that still has them.

or because my regexp didn't work

 

regexp? Weidu is not suited for that. Just for perspective - I've managed to reduce EET install time from 1 hour to about 10 minutes (from which most of it is unbiffing and biffing). Regexp that on clean game took weidu 40 minutes (or close to 2 hours with mods like BG1NPC Project and some NPCs installed on BG:EE) now takes about 10 seconds (exact same code, just in pure lua, which btw. is infamous for slow regexp processing). Of course I'm not expecting that DavidW will switch to lua, just informing that there are indeed ways to optimize mod installation time drastically (if it's really bcs regexp what slows down SCS)

Nevermind, I think AR304.BCS is set to hide Edwin until you complete Mae'Var's first task and get told to report to Edwin. But seeing him vanish after going to the 3rd floor makes it look like a bug.

Please upload a save right before entering the room where the jarring hiding can be observed. Should be doable to make it unnoticeable (a matter of additional variable to move him only when the first quest is done, not during the first visit)

Everytime you install mods tat change things in game, you corrupt your save more. Doesn't matter, if they are on some compatible list... you need to start a new game, not load an old save.

the thing is that it should not be the case for vanilla game content, no matter what. Based on the fact that the problem seems to be gone after he re-installed the game suggests dialog.tlk corruption in his older installation. This does't seem to be related to EET though.

Edit : Looks like the scribe spell scrolls component of atweaks is causing the weird character names...the weird thing is uninstalling that component doesnt revert the change...

do you have latest official BG:EE+SoD patch v2.5.17.0? If no - please update your game. (earlier betas or patches are not supported) If yes - where did you download your game (Beamdog, Steam, some other store?)

I successfully finished bg 1 with no bug, beside one enormous that make me use EE keeper to remove logs entries in my journal. For some reason, i did return to candlekeep before trigerring this needed quest from the flaming fist (if i remember). All the quest works (talking/killing throne members, going to jail, going out, etc.). For some reason, i was at the chapter 7 - since i never did the game before, could have been normal - now, i know there's something wrong!

So i left candlekeep, put me on the chapter 8 and i couldnt do anything: no one at the bridge to meet my comeback to baldurs gate; nothing at the Duc Castle, etc. I needed to remove this chapter from eekeeper. Going back to the castle, retrigger everything, then it works.

use "Clone or Download" option to get the latest version. AstroBryGuy forgot to make a new release on releases page.

My rule of thumb, just use 7-letter filenames for spells, full stop. Certain script actions and opcode 172 can fail on 8-letter files. It's easier to use 7 letters everywhere, than to try to remember which circumstances need which length.

according to Beamdog not needed in EE patch 2.5: http://blog.beamdog.com/2018/08/updates-to-infinity-engine.html

Removing 8 letter spells should not fail (vanilla bug)

 

this info should be added to IESDP

Version 1.0 Release Candidate 11

you're not using EET Worldmap. This is how EET worldmap looks like.

from what I see you didn't install patch that adds proper icons to bp-bgt worldmap (included in Big World Fixpack), that's why icons unique to EE games are not displaying correctly.

As for the problem - I suspect that's how it works in BG:EE too, so not a bug.

Anyway, I'll wait for EET update, even if I'm quite deep into BG1 storyline and I have done many sidequests (it's not easy to give up 70-ish hours of gameplay for a single game, but if I can't play SoD...)

He, I forgot to make a zip of BG1 and BG2, although it seems that BG1 folder hasn't been reverted to original state. I guess my game is broken. I'll wait for an update if EET before doing anything else

 

when it comes to bonehill and bp-bgt worldmap I'm afraid I can't help much since I never play with either. Bonehill seems to be supported by Roxanne, but it looks like she is no longer participating in discussions on G3. You may have better chance asking on her site.

Please read the readme file included with the mod.

Once the component is installed and you decide to integrate more mods you can safely uninstall it by running setup-EET_end.exe and than install it again once you are satisfied with your mod selection. No problems with reinstalling it too.

all BG1 areas in EET uses BG prefix, so the correct console command is:

C:GetGlobal("Gibberdead","BG4600")

in your save it's set to 11. The bug is not related to EET. If the same thing happens when you load earlier save and do the quest again then it's some other mod fault (in such case set the value to 12 via console). If you can't reproduce it then it was an engine bug.

I've just completed The Gibberling Hordes quest without problems using different save.

open SAVENAME.2DA located in override directory and change this line:

1        103050   7        1

the last column value is a number of quick saves

Im a bit confused. Are you guys saying that I cannot import BG 1 : EE saves to EET?

I've noticed on github that the EET related commit modifies shout.baf. It's unrelated to EET. Looks like it's there to fix the problem mentioned in this old topic, which also affected SCS. May be a good idea to review this particular change since there were several patches since 2014 to EE games, maybe it's no longer needed (or could be coded better).

Probably a next version of the DS. That has the K4thos's stat wants for EET. That's then intergrated into the SCS'es AI component.

don't worry about the stuff I'm working on, it's not SCS job to adjust to something needed by other mod. It would be nice if mods that do simple true/false checks didn't use stats.ids entries, but let's focus on things that actually need fixing (change introduced in patch 2.5 that breaks old DS implementation): https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/67571/the-big-is-it-a-bug-or-supposed-to-be-like-this-thread/p6

voting for this. If Kreso's version won't be used as base then I'd like to request internalizing my old patch (it adds EET support, nothing else changed)

And you referring to BG:EE as BG1:EE without SoD ?

 

I updated today the EEtool, added GB Anniversary mod and tried a install. I could install yesterday EET "perfectly" (The quote marks are because... it did install, but ingame I got a crash when opening the worldmap). But today it shows me this error and doesn't even install:

 

Weidu.exe --noautoupdate --no-auto-tp2 --logapp --use-lang "es_ES" --out "strings.tra" --traify-tlk

If you find which mod cause the issue please report it to mod author. The problem has nothing to do with EET.

I then loaded a BG 1 save in which my party was in shandalar's house

 

if by BG1 save you mean a save created on BG1 or BG:EE then such save is not supported.
