Some Advise Please?
« on: June 17, 2005, 09:27:10 PM »
I would like some advise on how to "Sanitize" a mod, some mods I have downloaded have strref numbers in items, spells,stores, and creatures. If I were only useing one or two mods it would not cause a problem. When you have a larger number of mods, the strref numbers conflict things already loaded, and you get overwrites.

So what I am doing is proofing the mods before loading them. Basicly deleting the strref numbers in items, spells,stores, and creatures and resetting them to (-1) or the genric strref for unknown description said item, dependent on what the tp2 is doing. How I have been doing this using Dltcp setup in a directory containing the data (and contents), override (empty), chiten.key and dialog.tlk of clean install. Pasting the various files out a mod into the empty override then manually editing each one. SLOW! SLOW! There has to be a better way!

I know that Weidu writes the various descriptions to the dialog.tlk went installing, so what I'm tring to do is write Sanitizer mod, cut the files to be cleaned out of whatever mod, paste them into the apropreate folder of the Sanitizer mod, run the setup installing them into the empty override, them paste them back into the mod. Below is the tp2 file I wrote it does not work, here is the debug report, I think I may need some sort of wildcard. eg(~Sanitize/itm/*.itm~) I tried this, and  it did work either, produced the same debug result. Can I do this it like this or is the (see below) a better method ?

I have seen mods that alter entire clases of items, in this case class restriction, unfortunitily I do not understand this form of patching as my programming skills are very limited, lets face it best I can is cut/paste something sombody else wrote, or follow detailed instructions. Can this type of patching do the job ? Please note I am using Dltcp and not NI (problems with java would not install) where can I get the required Hex numbers ?

You don't need any of this stuff, if the mod is WeiDU and written with 0.0001% of a normal grown human brain the descriptions are patched at install-time and you needen't sanitize them or whatever.

In any event, the error is that you have an extra slash, which you need to remove:

Yes I know what is supposed to happen, but if a item B in mod Y  has stref  798654 as the known/unknown of the saved item and that stref has been already use by item A in mod X,  it overwrites the entry, so both items A and B have the same description !

Believe me when I say that WeiDU will sort this out on his own.
In your example (or, even better said, always) the tp2 of mod Y will SAY DESC @xxx. This will change the name field to the first empty str_ref (IE it changes the number). There's no absolute need to do what you're doing. Ever. And the mod directory doesn't matter to the game, the only thing that matters is the override.

Then why am I getting two unrelated items with the same descriptions,eg. (a mace with an axe description) the items come from two different mods, the last installed is correct the earlier is not, it now says the same as the later installed mod?

If this happens, it's because either the mod maker is a moron, or the mod is not WeiDU (which obviously falls in the previous case). What mods are you installing? I never heard of this (nor experienced), and I installed at least 50 different mods.

Such things are not impossible if, say, the game was not properly uninstalled and cleaned out before reinstalling and putting on new mods. But, yes, as Mr. bigg says, it should never happen under normal circumstances.

Please see http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?topic=17555.0 for details on proper installation and backup techniques.

Yes I follow those practices, but  DO have multiple installs, each is faked full install with different mods installed, the baldur.ini is edited so that "HD0:=D:\BG_###\" . where BG_### is the root directory of that particular installl, below is extract of the baldur.ini for install BG_Clone1, copies of the cd's reside on a different harddrive and serve as a common liberaries, for all installs. From what I've read this is the correct method, yes? this would not be the probelem.

[Alias]
HD0:=D:\BG_Clone1\
CD1:=E:\BG2_Soa_Tob\BG2_CD1\
CD2:=E:\BG2_Soa_Tob\BG2_CD2\CD2\
CD3:=E:\BG2_Soa_Tob\BG2_CD3\CD3\
CD4:=E:\BG2_Soa_Tob\BG2_CD4\CD4\
CD5:=E:\BG2_Soa_Tob\BG2_ToB\CD5\;M:\CD5\

Which are the conflicting mods?

BTW, you could experience a minor conflict with your mod setup (nothing to do with the current problem): please uninstall the "Expanded Dual Classes Options' component of G3Tweaks and install it after Refinements. The rest of G3T has to be installed before refinements, so it's a tricky A before B before A situation.

@#$@##@$ neither mods readme mention that little fact!  I try to be careful about which mods I install and take note of the readme's before installing a set of mods, as to description conflicts example Raud v19 and UnderRepsented v5 due to the fact they use the same item prefix's "U#XXXXXX" is one example , another is  planar sphere and Itemupgrades, there it was the dialogs crowell makes real interesting offer's I wonder what "Die Mage!" would have got me? :o

The Refinements/G3 conflict: rest assured it isn't randomly changing strings, it's a rare conflict in some item usability, and is stated only in the forum since it was only recently discovered.

The other problem: just how the hell are you installing your mods to even let that one appear? How is it possible that it changes randomly some strings like it's doing?
I fear a reinstall is in order. Oh, don't bother with your backups - I'd suggest to reinstall crispy clean from the CDs and then making your backups again.

The backup are burned to dvd to prevent coruption by overwriting and the # signiture is the same each time each time I use it, so should be OK.

I don't know if this is relevant, but have you tried copying the dialog.tlk from your "main" BG2 installation and using it in your cloned directory?  Make a backup, of course, but something I vaguely remember happening during tests of Tutufix I'd done resulted in BG2 having strings I expected to get patched to my Tutu dialog.tlk.
