I am interested in any and all criticism!

Download (and extract and overwrite on top of your questpack folder)

Temujin thank you very much for putting this together. You are a star :-)

[Fennekl]

I encountered this problem when installing. Is this linked with the fixes? Or is it something that is not linked with them at all? Then something got wrong because of what do I know...

Does your d6a_1.baf look like this?

I have just installed the quest pack, extracted Temujin's awesome fixes....checked all 4 .baf files mentioned here http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=8676
 and all is well :-)

Thanks again Temujin!!!

[Fennek]

Hm, I tried a new install and everything went fine, the fixes worked. 
I have no idea what went wrong the first time. Maybe it was due to another mod compilation. No idea if a change in the mod compilation can make a difference for the fixes or the BWP-fixpack.

[temujin.]

I have no idea what went wrong the first time. Maybe it was due to another mod compilation.

I was about to ask if you can do a --change-log on ar2904.bcs, but I guess it's too late now...
It might be that other Nalia mod.  As I mentioned before, I didn't include that fix (which is in the _depends subdirectory in the BWP fixpack) at that time because the patch (made by BWP) back then was conflicting with the alternate patch (also made by BWP), so I wasn't too keen on troubleshooting one buggy mod with another, apparently even more buggy (according to BWP's own words) mod.

If not you may need to edit some .baf files, see here:  http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=8676

I think there's a tiny mistake in ronin's fix.  He added the missing trigger to the search blocks, but forgot to also include them in the replacement blocks.

What does that mean?

It means his fix will suppress the REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK warnings, but it doesn't actually retain the fixes applied earlier by the BG2 fixpack.  In other words, the whatever bug/exploit the Fixpack claims to have fixed to ar2904.bcs will be erased by this patch.  I'm a little sleepy at the moment, so maybe I'm missing something...

[Fennek]

I was about to ask if you can do a --change-log on ar2904.bcs, but I guess it's too late now...

I'm testing the new BWS beta so I still have the installation for bug-tracking.

Is this of help? I'm not sure if SCSI did anything... I can also provide a weidu.log.

[temujin.]

Looks like this is caused by SCS I.


here's your problem -->  00002: ~SETUP-SCS.TP2~ 0 3090 // Prevent party members from dying irreversibly: v14


scs/misc/nochunk.tph

Code: [Select]

  COPY_EXISTING ~ar2904.bcs~ ~override~
DECOMPILE_BCS_TO_BAF
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY CASE_INSENSITIVE ~ReallyForceSpell(Player2,HELL_EXPLODE)~ ~ReallyForceSpell(Player2,HELL_EXPLODE) ActionOverride(Player2,LeaveParty()) Wait(1)~
COMPILE_BAF_TO_BCS
BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES

what happens is that SCS I modifies this BG2 area script (it shouldn't be doing this IMO) which happens to be in the search block that questpack also looks for.  The same code also exists in SCS II (scsii/misc/nochunk.tph), so it's likely DavidW simply copy-pasted his own code from one mod to another.

The reason you didn't get this bug on your second attempt is that you installed the SCS II version of that component, and also that you installed it after the questpack (which is the correct way of doing this).

Great, Problem solved!

I am just guessing: Is the Super Happy Modder component from the Bg2Fixpack necessary or at least a part of the code for the BWP fixpack (?)

[temujin.]

Ich habe immer, immer die Modder Pack installieren (egal, was jemand sagt!  ), aber natürlich sollten Sie nicht meinem Beispiel folgen.



what i mean to say is,

both ESCAPE_AREA_2 and INCOMING_111 don't exist in any dialog or script in this mod.  so they must be coming from somewhere else.

can you do a --change-log on shoutids.ids, jaheiraj.dlg and viconij.dlg?

override/shoutids.ids gminion\build1.8\backup/0/shoutids.ids


Mods affecting SHOUTIDS.IDS:
00000: ~SETUP-TDD.TP2~ 0 0 // The Darkest Day,  v1.13: v1.13 BW Fixpack
00001: ~SETUP-GMINION.TP2~ 0 0 // gMinion v1.8: v1.8 BGT-expansion_v2

I was expecting to see more entries that would affect shoutids.ids...  it's possible there is another mod that overwrote this IDS, but change-log may not have recorded it... (change-log has a rare case of not properly recording files added/modified by mods)

if possible, can you upload the following files somewhere (all these from your broken install where you got those error messages)?

1. SHOUTIDS.00000.IDS
2. SHOUTIDS.00001.IDS (you should've gotten these two when you change-logged shoutids.ids)
3. your current SHOUTIDS.IDS (this should be in your override/biffs, you get this using NI)
4. gminion/build1.8/backup/0/shoutids.ids (the file backed up by gminion)
5. your Setup-Valen.tp2
6. your Setup-gMinion.tp2


btw, this problem has nothing to do with the questpack or the fixes in this thread or the super happy modder pack, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with some mod that stealthily overwrote shoutids.ids and manages to hide from change-log.

[Fennek]

Good to hear that we might find the source (and that it is not the lack of a fixpack component). Well, I uploaded the date here:

http://www.shsforums.net/topic/44771-problems-with-the-tactics-installation-this-time-normal-bwsbwp/page__view__findpost__p__484713

(I included the shout.ids frm the override; I did not biff for testing reasons.)

[temujin.]

Looks like this 'invisible' mod that's silently overwriting shoutids.ids might very well be BWP itself.

The Big World Fixpack package contains a bunch of IDS files in its Big World Fixpack/_ids folder.  These files are copied from this location to the game's override directly in-between different mod installs through BiG World Install.bat.

For example, look at this portion of code in BiG World Install.bat:

%IFNLS%touched%S%touched%L%0%SK% 0 1 | %M%

%IF% "BiG World Fixpack" copy /Y ".\BiG World Fixpack\_ids\shoutids.ids" ".\override" | %M%

%IFNLS%ninde%S%ninde%L%0%SK% 0 | %M%

%IFNLS%xulaye%S%xulaye%L%0%SK% 0 1 2 | %M%

%IFNLS%haldamir%S%haldamir%L%0%SK% 0 | %M%

This is why change-log is not able to record these changes.  There are a few more examples like it in that batch file...

This is not good.  BWP shouldn't be handling this problem this way.  It's better if you insert the IDS-patching code into the particular mod that needs those missing entries (like "APPEND ~SHOUTIDS.IDS~ ~2 ESCAPE_AREA_2~ UNLESS ~ESCAPE_AREA_2~", etc...)


More importantly, the shoutids.ids that comes with is very minimal (i.e. it has only 37 entries).  There are many, many more...  Some of those entries are mapped to different shouts...  For example, the number 2 is mapped to 'LEAVE2' whereas other mods have it mapped to 'ESCAPE_AREA_2.'  I don't know what happens if a single number is mapped to multiple shouts...

[Miloch]

%IF% "BiG World Fixpack" copy /Y ".\BiG World Fixpack\_ids\shoutids.ids" ".\override" | %M%

Yeah, that's pretty bad. It'd be one thing if they were copying a generic .ids if it didn't exist, but all of that sort of thing is better handled by tp2 than batch files (for one thing, WeiDU can detect whether the file exists in the override *or* the game biffs).

[Jarno Mikkola]

The explanation should be about like this; As the scripting code that is made when the mod is installed from a .baf to a .bcs, the IDS entries in the code are all replaced with single numbers, then the creature will act according to what inputs it's been given and according to the scripting priorities etc... so it doesn't actually matter if there are 50 same entries as long as the same creature doesn't intemperate the same ids number as different inputs.
The replacement with a number is a primary reason why one cannot safely upload the .bcs files, but one needs to use the .baf files with the WeiDU.exe and other files to re-script a creature to do the actions. Learned this the hard way...

The reason why the .IDS'es are appended is that some coders wish to use the LEAVE2 and some ESCAPE_AREA_2 to get the same effect, when they copy-paste the code to make a new .baf. Now, it's all fine and dandy as long as the 'command' in the shout is understood by all creatures the same way. Which almost certainly is in the LEAVE2 and ESCAPE_AREA_2...

But would someone append the same number with ATTACK_2, then the creatures might behave very strangely... like when a creature sees the player, all the other creatures in the immediate surroundings would try to leave the area when they should attack the player.

O.K., I'll tell this Leomar etc. Any suggestions how one can get rid of these problems? Another / better .ids? Not putting an ids in at all (what would cause another problem, I guess, since Xulaye and Ninda also produced ids-problems some time ago)? Different ids at different points of time? Suggesting it to the modders to update their mods (what would be at SHS and here...).

Well, make a test install that doesn't have any '.IDS corrections that the current BWP makes', then --change-log all the .IDS files and build a stable .IDS files from them, as the change-logging will give you all the backups of the files, so you can then combine them as a .IDS patcher to a single mod or put it to the BWP fixpack, the patching code should be something alike this code:

Code: [Select]

// Adds CD_STATE_NOTVALID state
APPEND ~STATE.IDS~ ~0x80101FEF CD_STATE_NOTVALID~
UNLESS ~CD_STATE_NOTVALID~ For one state, and as there are several that the original game doesn't have, there is likely to be very many different IDS'es.
You have to do this to all the states in all the .IDS files, and then remove all the .IDS overwriting .tp2 entries from all the mods that do that(the mods that do this are likely to be very old mods, like TDD, SoS or the kind AND THE BG2Tweakpack, yes, that's sad), the appending ones can stay as they just append if the file doesn't have the entry, which with this solution wouldn't happen anymore, so you could actually shorten the install time(minimally, but never the less).

[Fennek]

Thank you. I hope this can be realized in the near future.

[Miloch]

BG2 Tweaks overwrites .ids files?

the appending ones can stay as they just append if the file doesn't have the entry, which with this solution wouldn't happen anymore, so you could actually shorten the install time(minimally, but never the less).

By like a few milliseconds maybe, lol.

[Lollorian]

Not many mods actually overwrite ids files, but some mods do create a copy of the ids in the override if it isn't present at the time of install (BG2Tweaks does this) ... if there's a copy of the ids already present in the override, they don't overwrite it

[temujin.]

if there's a copy of the ids already present in the override, they don't overwrite it

even this has the potential to cause problems...

1. checking whether the IDS is present in the override/biffs wouldn't automatically guarantee the entry they want to append already exists.

2. more importantly, some mods (like Valen) have this type of seemingly innocent code:

Code: [Select]

  ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~override/shoutids.ids~ THEN BEGIN
    COPY ~valen/ids/shoutids.ids~ ~override/shoutids.ids~
  END

meanwhile, a mod that's installed earlier (ex: DSotSC) may have biffed the IDS (thereby removing it from the override), causing Valen to copy its extremely outdated shoutids.ids...



sigh

where is the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot smiley when you need one.

[cmorgan]

This is why I hate .bifs.

hat sort of check is standard practice for a number of mods, from way back in the day to present time.

I think it should be

  ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~shoutids.ids~ THEN BEGIN
    COPY ~valen/ids/shoutids.ids~ ~override/shoutids.ids~
  END


right? Is that the variant of A_I F_E that checks the .bifs?

Most importantly, where is the shoot random grenades in all directios smiley when you want one?

[temujin.]

F_E_I_G is safer, of course, but my point is,

suppose you want to ensure that

Code: [Select]

1000 CMORGAN_SOLAR_STANCE

gets added to shoutids.ids.


now, if shoutids.ids doesn't exist in game, then the shoutids.ids supplied from your mod (containing the above entry) gets copied to override. all is well.

but if shoutids.ids already exists in game, then your code would simply assume "1000 CMORGAN_SOLAR_STANCE" also exists and move on without actually bothering to check.

my point is, how can you make that assumption?  wouldn't it also help to use "APPEND ... UNLESS ..." or some form of FILE_CONTAINS regexp or something like that?

[Fennek]

I think / hope we found a solution for the problem (well, at least to avoid errors during BWP installations). If this way works in some (more) test installations, the problem might be solved. Please have a look here (several posts):
