Because Unfinished Business doesn't have a maintainer, we have a one-topic bug policy. This way all bug reports will be in one place, and useful information will not be lost.
Please, report all bugs and typos in this topic. All reports are very welcome.
If you have translation updates, please, feel free to post links to them and the translators' names in this topic, too. Or PM me and jcompton.
Important: I've prepared a few updates, but I'm mostly a dialogue modder. Please note that this mod has lots of code I have no idea about(i.e. kits, spells), so if these need changing and/or updating, and if you're someone who knows how to update these, just PM me or jcompton, and we'll update a new version of the mod with your changes and full credit to you.

Kulyok, Polish version of ubsetup-ee.tra needs a little bit of adjusting to match BG:EE and BG2:EE style of description used in Polish version of both games. The version in 25 package is by all means correct and can be perfectly used for Polish players, but it need a little visual tweaking.
But don't worry, I'm on it, since I spent a great deal of time to made all descriptions consistent in BG2:EE and BG:EE under EE Polish translation team. It's sort of my personal crusade, I guess:D
I'll send you adjusted file when I finish:)
-
Good luck with it! And thank you for your hard work. Really, translators are golden!
-
Kulyok, does HANDLE CHARSETS mean that translation files do not need to be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM to work properly with BG(2):EE anymore? And if so, does converting it to UTF-8 without BOM breaks things or it doesn't matter?
EDIT: Well, apparently NI says, that encoding in UTF8 breaks things for a change while using this function.
-
And updated files sent to your mailbox :)

Thank you very much! I'm afraid I have no access to PPG files during the day anymore, so a silent update might wait until the weekend. :(

The purpose of HANDLE_CHARSETS is to convert from the original encoding in BG II to UTF-8. For polish, that means CP1250 has to be used in the tra files, as if the mod was for BG II.
If you use UTF-8 in the files that are passed to HANDLE_CHARSETS, since the conversion assumes it's in CP1250, this will expand the special character starting an UTF-8 multibyte sequence as if it was a CP1250 special code, resulting in an even more expanded sequence, i.e. garbage. That's probably what you saw in Near Infinity.
With HANDLE_CHARSETS, the starting point is always BG II encoding, so various kinds of CPsomething encoding depending on language.
For technical details on HANDLE_CHARSETS, you can read this topic (http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,29193.0.html). I don't know if it easy to read though.

I just want to report few more typos:
-in Minsc\Scripts\wwelle.baf (line 105):
Dead("wwarro3")
Dead("wwarro4")
should be:
Dead("wwfght1")
Dead("wwfght2")
-in Minsc\Dialogue\wwinterj.d (lines 56 & 62)I think that "IMOEN" should be changed to "IMOEN2", at least in BGT.
and minor one:
-in encount\U!VAMPS.BAF (line 28) "VMALE5" should be "VVMALE5":
Thanks for your work!
-
I would like to apologize, the bug i encountered was not due to this mod.
The bug is related to the BG2 fixpack, i do not know how it is related though.
-
Two fixes from the BWP Fixpack are missing in the current version of UB. At least the first one is rather important as it prevents the game from crashing.
1. setup-ub.tp2 is missing the following line: COPY_EXISTING ~bag02.sto~ ~override/wwbag02.sto~
2. "OnCreation()" is disabled in u!sunare.baf.
-
That's useful, thank you! About 1. - where should that line be?
-
That's useful, thank you! About 1. - where should that line be?
Put it right after the line 139:
COPY_EXISTING ~bag02.itm~ ~override/wwbag02.itm~ /* Kulyok */

Happy new year!
Kulyok, do you know wether Suna Seni/Valygar has been changed as of recently? I get the dreaded NO VALID REPLIES message in his hut when meeting him. I do not really use any new mods compared to previously, besides updated mods. I did a topic on G3, but I'm unsure wether you are browsing that site? Here's the link:http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=26985 (http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=26985)
Cheers
-
Nope, that hasn't been changed(and I'm pretty sure I wasn't changing anything there), but there are plenty of other mods that either interfere into his starter dialogue and can delete the links like no tomorrow. New/untested NPC-related stuff, maybe?
EDIT: you can try and e-mail me Valygar's greeting dialogue file at yandex.ru(at my username).

Hi, thx for creating and supporting this great mod!
I have V25 installed but still facing the bug Chuta reported for V24, with Minscs not triggering his speech after removing him from the group :
After the quest is over (Found boo, Minsc gets his 19str and the boolet upgrade), Minsc no longer has any speech that triggers when you boot him from the group. He just walks up to CHARNAME and stands there. He cannot be spoken to and he stays in that spot even when you leave. You cannot recruit him back since you can't talk to him.
I deleted boo's scraps manually with NI and it fixed it, so just reporting that this is still present in V25, no need for a hotfix :)
-
Huh, and I kept deleting that item from anywhere and everywhere. I'll take another look, thank you.

I encountered a problem with the Random Encounters portion of the mod, when saving a tourist from an ogre and a shady character in the Slums of Athkatla.
(Just to note: I'm playing on Windows 8.1 on Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition.)
After killing the ogre and shady character, the tourist did not acknowledge I had done anything, and instead kept asking for help.
I saw on another forum someone had encountered this problem, and was able to solve it by modifying SLVIC01.DLG; I changed State Trigger 1 of that dialogue from
Dead("SlumsMugger2")
Dead("mugger3")
to:
Dead("SlumsMugger2")
Dead("SlumsMugger4")
Not sure if that was the best solution, but it worked. Thought I'd let you know about the bug.

I ran into the same trouble and fixed it that way, however the correct State Trigger is 0 and not 1.

The fix to this is already in the BWP fix pack, and should now be in the v26 beta.

slumvic.d was workaround by Lollorian that didn't address real bug. Bug is, in fact, typo in encount\ubvv.d:
REPLACE_STATE_TRIGGER SLVIC01 0 ~Dead("SlumsMugger2") Dead("SlumsMugger4")~should be
REPLACE_STATE_TRIGGER SLVIC01 1 ~Dead("SlumsMugger2") Dead("SlumsMugger4")~Above code was added to wrong state trigger so dialog didn't work. Lollorian fixed ST1 with slumvic.d, but wrong entry in ST0 still stood.
slumvic.d is not needed if this is corrected in ubvv.d.
BTW, these: http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,29262.msg335915.html#msg335915
are still not addressed.
Thanx Angel for your work!

Mm, I'm more of an items modder and not very good with dialog files. But I'll see what I can do.
UPDATE: I did it. All changes suggested by Mad Mate will be in v26beta2.

Hi,
I just experienced the same bug that 'autar' reported above, regarding Minsc's kick-out dialogue not activating. I have a number of old saves and can confirm that it works normally both before and during Minsc's quest, but all saves after completing the quest have the bug. Deleting Boo's scraps from the inventory using shadowkeeper seems to solve the problem.
Not sure if this is helpful to you but thought it was worth reporting.
Thanks for the great mod.

(Hopefully, I am posting this in the right thread).
Well - to cut the long story shot, I have recently installed (most parts of) this mod (in particular, Restored Encounters), and I have about the same problem as the one described here:
I encountered a problem with the Random Encounters portion of the mod, when saving a tourist from an ogre and a shady character in the Slums of Athkatla.
(Just to note: I'm playing on Windows 8.1 on Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition.)

Dead("mugger3")
to:
Dead("SlumsMugger2")
Dead("SlumsMugger4")
Not sure if that was the best solution, but it worked. Thought I'd let you know about the bug.
Could someone possibly advise on the best way to approach this? (I have found the files mentioned in the posts above, but I am not sure what with/how to modify them, and which would be the preferable thing to do of those listed, or something else).
Thanks.
-
That fix should be in UB 26 beta, i.e. if you have v25 installed, you could uninstall it, then install v26 over and have the encounter run correctly(if you load the save before the encounter).
Should I take v25 down, I wonder (since v26 has all the fixes)?
-
Yes, that fix is in v26beta2 (in file ub/encount/ubvv.d, to be exact). Perhaps it is time to remove beta status from v26, I have seen no additional bug reports on it.
-
Seems to have done it - at least for now... :)
Thanks for letting me know.
-
Done.
Folks, Mac version of v26 would be very welcome! Anyone who can build it, please, feel free - link it here and I'll update it to the website.
-
(I haven't removed v25 from the server, but the website points to v26 only now).
-
In the umodded BG2:EE, Bala's Axe (AX1H07) may already be available in the top level area of the Planar Sphere in certain situations. As a result, this mod adds a second axe to the container.

I have a problem with Kidnapping of boo quest :(
Boo was stolen but there is no kid in front of the tavern in docks, and no mercenaries inside the tavern.
Is there some cheat I can use to spawn them?
-
Hey, welcome to PPG! Has Minsc told you that Boo was stolen? If so, check that GetGlobal("WWBooGone","GLOBAL") is at 1. If not, set it at 1.
-
If using BWS + EET, the chapter checks for Boo's kidnapping were not patched properly until this week. Boo's kidnapping takes place during chapter 4 of BG2, but in EET (due to continuous chapter numbering), chapter 4 becomes chapter 16. The scripts for Boo's kidnapping were overlooked in the earlier EET patches (applied by BiG World Fixpack), so still expecting chapter 4.
Workaround:
1. Make a note of the current chapter number - use C:GetGlobal("chapter","global") to get the current value
2. Set chapter global to 4 with C:SetGlobal("chapter",4) for the duration of Boo's kidnapping (don't do anything else that would normally advance the chapter)
3. Restore the original chapter number (refer to the note that you made in step 1)
-
The Tainted Ore quest given by Berrrun Ghastkill should be identified as a "Quest" and not "Information". "The Tainted Ore" should be the Quest Header. Also, the verbiage is a little clunky at the end of the entry, and likely needs some grammatical formatting.
"And in case I'll find another piece of tainted ore" should likely be wordsmithed.

Must be an older bug, I haven't touched that file in either v26 or v27alpha. Looking at the .baf I do see a couple of issues, yes. Alright, I'll see what I can do to fix this, thanks for reporting.
-
Not a bug per se, I guess, but just getting back into modding after a long hiatus, and was reading your .tp2 to try to get up to speed on what's different about EE modding. Several times you use a line like:
LOAD_TRA ~ub/tra/%LANGUAGE%/ubsetup-ee.tra~
but when I go to the ub/tra/english folder, the file is called:
ubsetup_ee.tra
Does WeiDU not distinguish between hyphens and underscores? Or is this something to do with the way EE does things?
Thanks!
-
That bit of code was not by me, but that is indeed strange. I'll look into it. Though I have installed this on BG2EE (yes, I have the EE games now) without error, and I do see ubsetup_ee.tra being loaded in the debug file, so probably WeiDU is handling this. But might be better to name them all consistently.
-
Okay... I hope I'm not copying anyone's post...
It concerns Valygar's hunt mission. When I'm entering his hut, he asks me whether I was hired my mages. If I choose the option "Yes, they hired us, but they didn't tell me about this" (or something like that), the conversation suddenly ends with a text: "there are no valid dialog lines". Then, of course, I cannot add him into party nor end his quest... Other options seem to be unaffected.
I'm using original BG2+ToB with mods:
1) Almateria Restoration Project v8.2.8 - entire mod
2) Unfinished Business v26 - entire mod
3) Tweak Anthology v4 (former BG2 Tweak Pack) - only four modifications: dialogues cause pauses, silent "gather your party", Jaheira's alignment good neutral, Korgan's alignment neutral evil.

In my game (EET), after playing the kidnapping of Boo and subbing Boo with a fake hamster, I get a "reduced" portrait and even Boo layout is not fixed to the center.
The issue seems to happen only when going for the "evil route".

Kalah & What He Was Promised - Minor issue that can cause you miss out on the quest.
If your main character is in stealth mode when you exit the circus tent Myara will walk past you (she stops for a moment) and disappear from the game. You can still talk to her while she walk past you but the conversation won't start automatically.
BG2: EE v2.5.16.6. and UB v26

Hi!
Got several bugs / balance problems with Minsc's quest, and I have seen on other people have the same problems elsewhere (e.g. Reddit). I'm playing with BGT, original games (not EE).
First bug (may not be UB's fault per se): I had to use Shadowkeeper to remove the crumbs left in Minsc's inventory, and I also had 2 instances of Boo added instead of one (making a total of 3 inventory spaces taken once the quest is done). I would naively suggest the problem may come from an interaction with a mod I used to put Boo in Minsc's inventory instead of a quick slot? I did not try without it.
Second possible bug (may be intentional, but I think it's a problem): an upgrade to 19 strength is, I think, perfectly fine for the character and the game balance. But I noticed that not only does he get this +1 strength increase, but he also has a 5 permanent base thac0 bonus, which makes him an absolutely overpowered beast! In my game, he consequently went from a thac0 of 5 to a thac0 of -1 (5 base thac0 bonus + +1 strength bonus to thac0), just for doing a 10-minutes long quest.
Or, if it is indeed intentional, I think such gamebreaking changes should at least be mentioned in the readme file. Especially since it can very easily go unnoticed and leave you wondering hours after doing the quest why Minsc is so good (as it happened to this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/6lj1l3/base_thac0_minsc_vs_keldorn/ ).
Otherwise, since I'm here I might as well say: thank you for the good work! :)
