#577598 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)
Posted by dabus on 15 May 2015 - 07:11 AM in Mega Mod Help
Disable End is not in there because there's no component in the tp2 that would enable that tweak.
Fixpack and timely updates: Look at the history, then you know about release dates.
#577574 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)
Posted by dabus on 14 May 2015 - 06:23 PM in Mega Mod Help
If Quit/Alien want to do it, I won't stop them but I usually left that for others maintainers.
Its getting more unclear which package fix what if you need a mod, modders fix, BWP fixpack and the BWS to make mods work. I wasn't good enough to know if I'd make things worse. And some modders are kind of allergic to fixing their stuff if they don't approve or had some intention that did not need a fix.

If the BWS tried to rewrite it into your registry, you should not find that key in your ini but have an entry in your BiG World Setup\Logs - directory.
Either directly in it or more likely in folder named Bak-%sometimestamp%. The files name would be BiG World Install Debug.txt and you should look at the end of it.
You changed your codepage to install some mods. If you do not intend to change your installation, you can use your old codepage No. %somecodepage%.Write that value to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage, change the key ACP from 1252 to the value from above.
Do you want to set your codepage now?

Anyway, 32 KB was the limit in this case, it does not matter if you use Windows 2000 or a 10 preview since the limit is in the program itself.

#576209 Baldur's Gate Graphics Overhaul
Posted by dabus on 25 March 2015 - 03:27 PM in BG Graphics Overhaul
You got your "old" package from here, the tab branches shows you different downloads for different flavours.
The main one is called "master", the others are for testing different things. Click on the "zip" to get the files packaged in a zip-archive.
If you click on commits on the navigation bar on the left, you can see that things are starting to get updated frequently since Leonardo uploaded his BWP 15.
So maybe you want to wait a bit. The BWS is Windows only-software since it uses the AutoIt3-script language/interpreter -- just since that was the only thing I could handle and it has a library of functions that is documented well.

2. and 3, package are marked as download only, so those get removed from the current selection so an extraction of those files does not happen.
The main package is still in there and gets extracted.

In the old download 2015-03-02, there was an error / misunderstanding in ini-files by Alien.
It contained two additional downloads with the same key(name). Since ini-files only contain one key with an unique name, only one file got loaded and so the download was screwed (missing one file).
Since additional download also get extracted (they usually contain fixes), the second file was extracted and thus failed since the first part of the splitted archive was missing, making the extraction fail all the time.
The error was fixed on 2015-03-06 ny Quiet, so if you just would have found the master download, you could have saved yourself some trouble/time.
@Yovaneth: Sorry for the trouble. I'll ask Alien if he could delete that BWS download / or maybe he can just fix the file.

If not, that's the error.
You cannot right-click the batch and select run as admin since you'll start a cmd which is located in C:\Windows\system32.
Therefore, the current path (folder from where the BiG World Install.bat is executed from ist C:\Windows\system32.
When you click the batch as a user, the current path is where the BiG World Install.bat is in, which is your bg2-path.
So when running a user, the batch will not find the BiG World Installpack-folder and behave oddly.
At least I get a few "cannot find file"-warnings before a pause an no text is displayed when I do that.
When I run it as described at the top of this post, everything is ok.
So I'd advice to rewrite the hint about "click as admin" or take a vbs to do so.
Edit:
You can simply test where you are by adding this at the top: echo %cd% or pwd.

And you might have problems using this mod in batches without renaming since it uses this stupid exclamation mark in it's name.
In batch, it's also used for other things, so you might just want to install it manually.

Yes, pause or just call Setup-!BInfinitySounds.exe and select the things yourself.
Setup-!BInfinitySounds.exe --language 0 --skip-at-view --force-install-list 0 1 2 [and more components] --logapp | %M%should also do it... But as said, I'd guess that you run into problems if you'd use normal
Call %INST% !BInfinitySounds "0 1 2"And safest way would be the pause.
#581520 The 'official' BWP Fixpack thread
Posted by dabus on 15 October 2015 - 10:56 AM in Mega Mod Help
Coincidentally, this part caught my attention:CA_AddDown=http://www.arcanecoast.ru/download/BWFixpack_aurora_fix.7z CA_AddSave=BWFixpack_aurora_fix.7z CA_AddSize=1259 CA_AddTest=BiG World Fixpack\aurora\t-kobold.tpa.patch:-Is there a fix to BWP Fixpack on Arcanecoast? If so, how comes it wasn't incorporated into, ugh, Fixpack itself?
Just for the record:
CA_ means that this is only used when building the mod.ini for the config-folder CA, which contains the BWS files for Classic Adventures.
You can also find other examples like stuff that's used for IWD1 only if you look into the global 1pp-file.
If you look into the BWP's mod.ini, you won't find the CA_lines. If you configure CA and check the mod.ini, you'll find.
AddDown=http://www.arcanecoast.ru/download/BWFixpack_aurora_fix.7z AddSave=BWFixpack_aurora_fix.7z AddSize=1259 AddTest=BiG World Fixpack\aurora\t-kobold.tpa.patch:-
Those are very likely lines that were in the games mod.inis before we merged them into the global ini-files.
Maybe there are some more of these leftovers.

Baldurs-gate.eu is not Leonardos website. At least I guess you used the list from there.
Edit: Corrected.

findstr /I /M "individual" %SET%>nul if %errorlevel%==0 ( call ".\%BWIP%\individual.bat" )So individual is used if individual is in BWP Settings.txt. Search bat-files for that string and you find
%TXT% | findstr @503 | Call %C% %TXT% | findstr @547 | Call %C% :REPMODSE set X= set /P X= if /I "%X%"=="1" echo PreSelection>> %SET% & goto :CKSUMCOM if /I "%X%"=="2" echo process>> %SET% & goto :CKSUMPRO if /I "%X%"=="3" echo individual>> %SET% & goto :CKSUMIND if /I "%X%"=="4" echo allyouget>> %SET% & goto :CKSUMPRO %TXT% | findstr @500 | Call %C% goto :REPMODSENow look for 3 in string.txt. Text has a 503 in front of it.
@503Tada. So you likely selected another option and not 3.
@503[1] Do you want to choose a preselection?
@503 or
@503[2] Do you want to filter the mods according to various parameters?
@503 or
@503[3] Do you want to use an installer changed by your own and skip the settings?
@503 WARNING: This option should only be used by very experienced and keen on
@503 experimenting players. You probably will run into problems and therefore
@503 you should be able to use NearInfinity!
@503 or
@503[4] Do you want to install all you can get? (not recommended)
Wasn't that hard if you keep 2 or 3 things in mind and know where to start/know what you want.
You just need a tool to search through the files. You can even use cmdline-tools like the batch.
Search all batch files in a folder for individual with this:
findstr /n /s /I "individual" "*.bat"

I don't want to bash the project and it's made progress (checked it some years ago and you were stuck every now and then) but minor bugs like not handling female pcs sound like "wait a year" until you could consider using gem instead of the "real" engine.
