Version 18 of Unfinished Business
« on: February 01, 2009, 02:55:29 PM »
Thanks to DavidW and Nythrun, the long-awaited version 18 of Unfinished Business is now available. Hopefully this edition will address some long-standing issues with the mod. It also adds an Italian translation.

Wonderful!

Thank you so much, all of you. I'll do another BG2 run one of these days. (My PC's name will be Nyth David Compton, and he'll romance Aerie. Yes, sounds about right).

Nice one. I'm glad to see Minsc's quest fixed (I played the dodgy version in my last runthrough and had to use the hotfix). Huzzah.

So that someone'd ask, and we'd continue to page 2! :)

P.S. Just noticed: hey, we've got a new Goo translation!

Thanks a lot, DavidW.

I have one question though guys, I'm wondering if the minor dialogue restorations component is now fixed, here was an issue that existed in v15:

Unfinished Business v15: The 'Minor Dialogue Restorations' component will corrupt an area script at the de'Arnise Keep, causing issues ingame or causing other mods that alter this script to report errors or fail to install. A fix has been provided to the Unfinished Business team and will be included in the next UB release.

I don't read anywhere in the readme for v16 - 18 mentioning that this was fixed, so can someone confirm that it is now safe to install? (The issue was at least with installing alongside fixpack, but apparently with other mods too...somewhere it said it caused probs with all mods, don't know).

I couldn't locate this problem; it may be my own stupidity. I think that Fixpack takes precautions on its side to avoid the problem now in any case.

Was wondering. Tho the fixing of the annoying invincible trolls is great, I also read something about a yellow dragon and his or her eggs. Was wondering if this yellow dragon is ever going to make it in the unfinished business as I really like dragons, but then again who doesn't :p. That said I am also planning on a new rerun through the game.

Secondly I also read Haer'Dalis originally had more planned. Are there plans to restore this?

That being said I really appreciate the job you guys/girls did so far. I used the previous unfinished busines and really enjoyed the extra storyline.

I think at this stage, there's basically no chance that UB will get additional content. (That's not to say that these ideas won't see the light of day, just that it's not going to be in this mod.)

When its creators return and add another six components, I'll be delighted to have been proven wrong, of course!

There are yellow dragons in Tactics, and in Sword Coast Stratagems II.

The yellow dragon and its eggs are there, but I don't believe there's anything at all to do with what may have been intended for them in the game (it's just a creature and an item with nothing else).

Haerry would never get done (even if UB's creators returned and added another six components). The "more planned" you're talking about is far too convoluted.

Then why was the yellow dragon and his/her eggs mentioned as being unfinished business? Also what other things where mentioned as being unfinished but are not part of the UB just yet.

Install Component 19 [Restored Bhaalspawn Powers, by David Gaider]? Install
This is the debug piece of 19.02. Unfinished Business (UB for BG2) v18:
"ERROR: BIFF [./MOVIES/25MOVIES.BIF] cannot be loaded: Unix.Unix_error(20, "stat", "./MOVIES/25MOVIES.BIF")
SKIPPING: [Restored Bhaalspawn Powers, by David Gaider]
The Throne of Bhaal Expansion is required for this component."

"BGII - SoA\CD5\movies\25Movies.bif" my 25Movies.bif game path (this is before installing, the errors i've got are from a previous installation of BWP 5.7)
Is there an incorrect indirection?...or an reading error?

It's looking for 25MOVIES.bif because it's an easy way to check if you've got Throne of Bhaal installed. If you have, then your install has probably got corrupted.

I just rememberd something from reading that post; should we skip the restored bhaalspawn powers from UB if using Ascension, as i  think that adds the same; or are there differences? Or does UB auto skip if you have Ascension installed?

I think not:
%IFES%UB%S%UB%L%0%SK% 0 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 19 21 24 --logapp | %M%
%IFGS%UB%S%UB%L%3%SK% 0 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 19 21 24 --logapp | %M%

%IFXES%Ascension%S%Ascension%L%0%SK% 0 1 2 3 5 --logapp | %M%
%IFXGS%Ascension%S%Ascension%L%1%SK% 0 1 2 3 5 --logapp | %M%

there is no condition between the two.
"Install Component 0 [Ascension v1.41 (requires ToB)]? nstall
There might be a conflict between UB's Sarevok's Remorse and Ascension's Sarevok dialogues."
from the manual BWP 5.7 , i think u got to try installing to see if any incompatibility

I missed this, sorry; but no, there's no way to change the loading messages mid-game.

Okay, so how can I stop it appearing in the first place?  I'd rather it didn't appear at all than all the time.
