d0tweak beta testers wanted!
Angel:
Alright everyone, I have an update for d0tweak ready for some testing, version v22rc1.
My update does not add any new functionality and changes the content in only minor ways, it's mainly a code overhaul. A short list of what I did:
- Revised most of the code:
- Upgraded to WeiDU v236.
- Improved the overall layout.
- Replaced DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF and DECOMPILE_DLG_TO_D with DECOMPILE_AND_PATCH.
- Used macros and functions where possible.
- Better kit fix/tweak code in the ALWAYS block (thanks to The Imp for this), this also fixes the screwed up MAGESCHOOL_GENERALIST bug.
- Cleaned up unused files, restructured some files and directories.
- Moved function- and macro definitions to separate files.
- Deprecated Corrected Summoned Demon Behavior and Corrected Demon Animations in favor of the versions from the G3 Fixpack.
- Improved Goodberries and BG1-Style Summon Spells now detect Divine Remix and take corrective actions; clerics will no longer get these spells if they don't have the correct sphere.
- Visible Ioun Stones will now also patch the ioun stones added by Rogue Revisions, and can now be installed on a ToB-less game if you're so inclined.
- NPCs/Summons Set off Traps will detect the Shadow Thief Improvements of Rogue Revisions and not install if it is present, as these mods are conceptually incompatible.
- Reintroduce Dimension Door will no longer leave a needless copy of the spell file around (it previously copied spwi402.spl to spwi450.spl for some reason, but never used the copy) and now uses ADD_STORE_ITEM to patch the scroll into stores.
- Updated the readme, replaced dead links with something appropriate.
I have tested the mod both on a vanilla BG2 install and on a (heavily modded) BGT install, both on Windows and Linux, and it installs cleanly on all of those. Since I didn't really touch the contents much, I did only limited testing on that, mostly just verified if the patched files looked good.
Things I want to do in a future version:
- Revise the code for Summoning Limit Removal. (Heard this one is buggy, although it works for me.)
- Rewrite BG1-Style Summon Spells to patch the spells instead of overwriting them for better compatibility.
VERY IMPORTANT: You must completely remove version 21 or older prior to installing this one! Specifically, you should make sure that no "setup-d0tweak.tp2" file remains in your main BG2 folder, this file has moved to the d0tweak folder.
Did I miss something that should be fixed? Encountered any bugs? Or does it work perfectly for you? Want to hug me? Want to lynch me? Leave your feedback here!
Mad Mate:
First, thank you for your work on this mod.
I just installed two of components from your 22rc1 and it appears in weidu.log like this:
--- Code: ---~D0TWEAK/SETUP-D0TWEAK.TP2~ #0 #5 // UNDEFINED STRING: @17
~D0TWEAK/SETUP-D0TWEAK.TP2~ #0 #6 // UNDEFINED STRING: @25
--- End code ---
I think that something went wrong.
Thanks!

I've tried a couple of times on a completely clean installation, but I cannot find any fault, it just works. Did you properly remove any older versions you may have had installed before unpacking and installing the new one? Because it's likely that you left the old setup-d0tweak.tp2 file in your main BG2 folder.
Mad Mate:
I just checked everything, it seems that mod installed fine and in debug file is:
--- Code: ---SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Additional Racial Enemies
SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Summonning Cap Removal
--- End code ---
But, it just written wrong in weidu.log
Maybe it is just one time error. I'm using BWP batch process from Leonardo, checked that it doesn't mess with d0tweaks files and it doesn't.
I checked Fixpack and nothing there, and there are no leftovers from old versions.
I think in next 2 days I'll do next install and report to you how it went.
Thanks!
PS. I think that in "Summonning" you have a typo ;-)
And here is debug file and weidu.log if it can help you:

Angel:
Yeah, I noticed the typo while I was investigating your case. It's not mine actually, I it was already there in SimDing0's versions. But I've corrected it now, it will be in the next version.
I reviewed the logs and apart from the anomaly in weidu.log there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, the components installed quite normally. The setup-d0tweak.debug does have the correctly translated strings and doesn't show any error whatsoever.
It may be an oddity due to the translation files and/or setup-d0tweak.tp2 file having moved between versions, I do not know. Other than moving them into the lang/xx directories I didn't touch the translation files at all.
