GAME_IS lacks BGT detection. Checking for bgintro.mve should be enough, I think, tutu doesn't rename the intro movie. I confused myself hopelessly adding negative detection for it in the SOA/TOB entries, however. I'll leave that to someone else.
Not that I need BGT detection in my current mod, but for completeness...
ENGINE_IS is undocumented, but better for my purposes. I'll use that.
-
Unfortunately, I can't change these without breaking backwards compatibility with Widescreen.
-
How's that? You mostly use ENGINE_IS, don't you? Adding bgt detection to GAME_IS wouldn't break that as far as I can tell...
And you only try to match IWD2 using GAME_IS in widescreen v1, at least.
Anyway, happy to report that ENGINE_IS is doing the job just fine here. :)
-
Right, you're correct. Done.
-
You'll need to find a more unique match for PST, by the way. FACTION.IDS leaked into the Icewind Dale I biffs. :o I don't have any PST around so I can't find a better one...
My plain unpatched IWD install matches both ENGINE_IS iwd and ENGINE_IS pst.
-
Fixed.
-
By the way, with DLTC/Glory of Istar demo installed, ENGINE_IS doesn't match any game. Surely it should still match ENGINE_IS ~tob~ ?
Worked around it by || FILE_EXISTS ~dltc_uninstall.exe~
-
In-biffs marker file, thank you.
-
xnewarea.2da looks like our best bet. Does not exist in bg1, soa, pst or the iwd games, exists in stock tob and also in dltc's own biffs.
-
Cheers.
-
Grumblegrumblegrumble.
Easytutu soa doesn't match ENGINE_IS ~soa~ when the bg1 and bg2 stock installs are deleted, which the easytutu install doc. says I can do with no problems. (but most of the bg2 movie files referenced in chitin disappears) And for some bizarre reason, it creates a xnewarea.2da in override, so it suddenly matches the new ENGINE_IS ~tob~.
*mutter*
So, say, tob = xpbonus.2da + xnewarea.2da + areaflag.ids then?
soa ... *mutter* ... xpbonus.2da and not (xnewarea.2da and areaflag.ids) ?
Seems to work for all cases I've seen so far, including easytutu soa and dltc. 8)
-
:'(
-
Tested my criteria. Works fine for:
BG2 SOA
BG2 TOB
Easytutu SOA
Easytutu TOB
TOB + DLTC
TOB + Classic Adventures TC
IWD (no false positives, yay)
... bgt untested (due to wine and bat files disagreeing about things), but I'd be surprised if that failed.
Case closed?

Hopefully it's a) intelligible without knowing OCaml b) correct.
Up as 20840 in the usual quarter of hour anyway.
-
Every bg2 is soa in 20840.
areaflag.ids, not areaflags.2da
-
208.41 up in ten minutes. Can you test a bit of weidu, weigui and weinstall (including the elkhound grammar)? I had to run some changes in my Linux compiling environment (moved from Debian Sid to Ubuntu Intrepid server after losing the vmware drivers).
-
OK, 208.42 REALLY up in ten minutes. Apparently asking Ubuntu to consider ~/bin when accessing non-interactively is too hard.
-
May I recommend sshd_config : PermitUserEnvironment and friends? :pirate
we're still all-soa in 20842 - areaflag not areaflag_s_
-
Oh, I thought that ~/bin was a Basic Unix User Right - how stupid of me. Fixed the typo, up as 20843 in ten minutes, yada yada. Have you checked if the Elkhound grammar works?
-
Nngh. That's the new fancy parser, triggered by using VERSION and such in the tp2, right?
Almost always using it, if so... haven't noticed anything weirder than usual.
Having some "chinese values of interesting" trouble installing scsii though. "Smarter mages" failing when I've installed a whole bunch of other components in the same session, but succeeding if I quit the session, restart weinstall and install that component on its own. Which smells like weidu trouble. That's from earlier in the 208 series, though.
Can't reproduce with 20800, can with 20833 (earliest post-208.00 I have), can with 20842. You want a debug file or other debug output?

I've had it a couple of times but ignored it as a random fluke. The fact that scsii has more KLOC than WeiDU itself further dampened my will to investigate it.

Could you grep through the .debug looking for ERROR?
-
Please run as grep -B10 -A10 -i '\(error\|warning\)' to get some context and more matches.
-
-A10 -B10 => -C10 ;)
-
Not much help in that, I'm afraid.
Eureka. Could it simply be croaking on stack size ("it" being either weidu or the wonderful perl thingie) ? Ugh. (stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192)

[N]o, [Q]uit or choose one:

2] Mages only cast short-duration spells instantly at start of combat if they are created in sight of the PC
3] Mages never cast short-duration spells instantly at start of combat

Bah. No, unlimited stack size didn't help either.
No idea what's going on there. That code's far too clever for its own good.
-
Is this reproducable? (if you chose the same components)
-
It was reproducible for me, but I can't recall which component(s) I used. What's your weidu.log erik?
-
Nothing initially. Installed the scsii ones visible at the end of the log above in that one session.
Reproducible.
Same set of components install fine with 20800.

(on topic) SoA vs. ToB finally works fine in all cases I have easily at hand in 20843, btw. Yay! (soa,tob,soa-easytutu,tob-easytutu-totsc,dltc)
-
Urgh. IWD detection broke between 20839 and 20840, and is still broken in 20843. Any clues?
-
How I wish I had started using CVS... :/
Will look into it tomorrow because of http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,26102.0.html (http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,26102.0.html).

Enjoy the party, and congratulations here too!

Should've fixed both the iwd bit and the scsii bit in 20844. Can you check?

FATAL ERROR: Failure("No rule to identify TOTLM")
Heh ... it explodes horribly on iwd now, whatever I try to do. Totally nonfunctional. And all ENGINE_IS use breaks on all games.
Whoops ;D
... aaaand the scsii issue is still there. Darn. I was hoping to finish on a more positive note. :-\
-
I are so dumb. 208.45 for the rescue (ten minutes as usual).

Hmm.

Great, I even uploaded a broken 209.00 then.
Re-added totlm, hopefully fixed iwd (up as 208.50 in beta).
-
IWD detection fixed in 20850, TOTLM is back as an alternative, and BG2SOA detection still works. Excellent.
Aaaand SCSII Smarter Mages install works. The Doctor strikes again! We should be good for 209 then?
-
Excellent.
-
Why is GAME_IS ~tob~ not true on a BGT installation? (Change in behaviour from v208.)
-
Somebody requested separate detection for that IIRC. Reverted.
-
BGT can be detected based on MOD_IS_INSTALLED anyway IIRC, so agreed.
-
BGT detection is okay. I was merely wondering whey ToB depends on "not BGT".
-
Heh. Handling it like tutu was easiest, I guess. Which do not match game_is tob, but does match engine_is tob or soa.
-
GAME_IS ~tob~ returns "not true" on a BGT installation, but it seems that GAME_IS ~tosc~ returns "true".
Maybe it will be better to make them both return "not true"?
-
Both fixed (GAME_IS TOB = true, GAME_IS TOTSC = false).
-
In WeiDU 208 there were (GAME_IS TOB = true AND GAME_IS TOTSC = true) on a BGT installation,
in WeiDU 209 - (GAME_IS TOB = false AND GAME_IS TOTSC = true),
in WeiDU 210 appears to be (GAME_IS TOB = true false AND GAME_IS TOTSC = false).
Since weidu upgrades all weidu.exe files in the game folder up to the newrest version, modders that use GAME_IS cheks in TP2-files have to consider this changes.
-
It's supposed to be GAME_IS TOB = true, GAME_IS TOTSC = false.
-
Excuse me for the mistake, mr.Bigg. I just hope no more changes in behaviour of GAME_IS on BGT will come in WeiDU 211 :)
