#186897 Install

Posted by Yazzuie on 07 February 2005 - 02:47 PM in Chloe

trust me it was a hell of a lot more that 64 kilobytes when i downloaded it thanx for the link

Hope that works for you. In case you had origenally meant that you didn't know how to install it...here's what you do;

1: Extract the archived file " ChloeMod-v12.rar" to (...\Black Isle\BGII-SOA).

2: Run the application "Setup-Chloe.exe" found in (...\Black Isle\BGII-SOA)
Note ? You may be asked to run this again. Do not be alarmed, just close the DOS window and run it again.

3: A DOS Window appears. Choose your language.

4: At the prompt ?Install Component [?Chloe NPC Mod ?]? select [Y]es to install

5: At the prompt ?Press ENTER to exit? press the ENTER key. You will see a lot of files scroll in the screen for SEVERAL minutes.

That's it. Play and enjoy

The file name is right, but the size is wrong. Should be 6,293kb...or something close to that.

Try getting it here:

The file is an .rar archive. To extract it you'll need a .rar compatible extraction program, one free example is;

#186574 BP_s_and_h_Patch v5 released

Posted by Yazzuie on 05 February 2005 - 02:55 PM in Big Picture

Yup, I missed it. Ok, so Kelsey's STATS.IDS sure 'nuff ain't gonna work with BP. I'll mark it as not compatible in the install guide

#186534 BP_s_and_h_Patch v5 released

Posted by Yazzuie on 05 February 2005 - 10:23 AM in Big Picture

OK, I'm bored today...I did a line-by-line "stare'n'compare" of the STATS.IDS from Kelsey and BP. Kelsey does not change any lines, only adds lines as shown below:

165 WIZARD_IMPROVED_ALACRITY
166 PROTECTION_FROM_EVIL
167 TRUE_SIGHT
168 CLERIC_CHAOTIC_COMMANDS
169 CLERIC_MAGIC_RESISTANCE
170 CLERIC_INSECT_PLAGUE
171 CLERIC_BLADE_BARRIER
172 CLERIC_PHYSICAL_MIRROR
173 CLERIC_SHIELD_OF_THE_ARCHONS
174 CLERIC_REGENERATION
175 CLERIC_CREEPING_DOOM
176 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_PETRIFICATION
177 WIZARD_SPELL_SHIELD
178 WIZARD_RESIST_FEAR
179 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_NORMAL_MISSILE
180 WIZARD_GREATER_MALISON
181 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_NORMAL_WEAPONS
182 WIZARD_TENSERS_TRANSFORMATION
183 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_MAGIC_ENERGY
184 WIZARD_MISLEAD
185 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_MAGIC_WEAPONS
186 WIZARD_SPELL_IMMUNITY
187 WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_THE_ELEMENT
199 STONESKINSGOLEM
200 LEVELDRAIN

So if it's not changing any lines that BP uses, would it not be compatible? Or am I missing something as usual...

#186486 BP_s_and_h_Patch v5 released

Posted by Yazzuie on 05 February 2005 - 07:09 AM in Big Picture

I might have figured it out...I opened up KELSEYAI.BS and found this line...
CheckStatLT(Myself,1,185)

In the STATS.IDS, line 185 reads WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_MAGIC_WEAPONS

Is this what you're looking for?

#186480 BP_s_and_h_Patch v5 released

You could manually put BP's stats.ids from the script compiler folder into the override (copy/paste), and things should be fine--from a BP perspective at least...

Forgive my lack of modding knowledge...I know how to use NI (in a mostly inept kindof way), what I don't know is can I look at Kelsey's scripts without actually installing it, if so what file do I look at? If neccessary I can install it to check.

Assuming he doesn't use anything past 180, if we put in Kelsey installation instructions with the last step being making a copy of BP's STATS.IDS in /override, you thing that would make it compatible?

Perhaps the Kelsey .tp2 file should have a check for custom IDS entries before overwriting in-game resources. Not hard to do, for someone as well-versed in weidu as JC. e.g.--no standard STAS.IDS has an entry at 180. I've never used Kelsey before--perhaps until this is corrected Kelsey should be listed as Incompatible?

OK, I have no life at the moment and actually looked into this...a little. Kelsey does copy it's own STAS.IDS into /override by way of the .tp2 file. The Kelsey STAS.IDS has entries up to 200. So am I correct in assuming Horred is right and it's not compatible?

#186132 NEJ Moonknight Kit

Posted by Yazzuie on 03 February 2005 - 08:44 PM in Big Picture

BP + NEJ + Chloe

Problem: K_H_F.2DA incorrect listing for Moonknight Kit (NEJ added)

My kitlist.2da file has 114 entries (0 to 113). The last four are;
110 FENCE
111 MOON_KNIGHT (from NEJ)
112 CHARMING_ROGUE (from NEJ)
113 YRKENSAI (from Chloe)

My K_H_F.2DA in Override (and mK_H_F.2DA from BPNEJ/COPY) have entry 9 = 112. Thus the Human Fighter kit menu shows "Charming Rogue" instead of "Moonknight".

Easy enough for me to fix, but am I the only one with this bug?

#185869 Bug Reports for V. 1.2

Posted by Yazzuie on 02 February 2005 - 08:56 PM in Chloe

How can I use Chloe with tdd? I like that mod. But every time I install Chloe, the cleric menu is ruined. All the new priests are lost. they are replaced with lathander. Please help.

I have Chloe loaded with Big Picture (TDD included) and all the TDD Cleric kits are just fine, no conflicts. Perhaps more mod's that just Chloe and TDD were installed, and there may lie the problem?

The new Big Picture Installation Guide can be found...

http://home.comcast....161G_Manual.pdf

I included Never Ending Journey (NEJ) in this issue. Baulders Gate Trilogy (BGT) is NOT included. I had intended to add a few additional optional mods, but I just didn't have time...maybe in the next revision.

#184160 Yazzuie's Guide

Posted by Yazzuie on 26 January 2005 - 11:03 AM in Big Picture

I'll have an updated BP Install Guide up tommorrow. This issue will include NEJ and a few other "known to be compatible" mods.

BGT is not going to be there. I might make a new guide for it.

#182177 BP s_and_h Patch v5...

Posted by Yazzuie on 16 January 2005 - 08:30 PM in Big Picture

Am I correct in assuming that the Auto-Install will NOT load this patch?

Would you believe that I'm actually getting around to updating the BP Install Guide? Heck, I'm even correcting that little type-o in the Auto-Install section (oops, sorry 'bout that). Just as soon as this patch is out and I can go through the loading procedure, I'll post the new Guide.
