#577546 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 14 May 2015 - 07:41 AM in Mega Mod Help

Seems like he copied the translations / used autotra and reloads... Seems to work for me though, searched the override for dialogues and they are shown in English.
I get "Why do you address me that way?" in ACQ08000.DLG.
I'll ask him, seems to be around at the Kerzenburg if someone can give me a debug-file and maybe look into the tra-folder and check if English files are English...

And can you check if you used 2.00b_150205?



#577552 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 14 May 2015 - 10:55 AM in Mega Mod Help

20150302 contains a link to Version 1.01, which had to be patched with BW Textpack to have an English version.
EET and Master point to 2.00b 150212 and has a built in translation, so Textpack does not contain it any more.
Thus the old download version will always fail to provide an English install.

So please don't use the old download. but
Master or EET, which is more current but is used for testing and may not be as stable as Master.

Reading the faq in the docs-folder or using the built-in editor via the options-menu (in the selection-screen).



#577214 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 27 April 2015 - 12:20 PM in Mega Mod Help

@Argent77:

--spider is used to get the size and name of the download without downloading the file.
This check is done when testing / looking for available downloads and right before a download. It's just to get the name and size right so I get corrupted downloads that broke in the middle or updated file-information if a php-download points to a new version of a file.
If the file-check fails, I assume that downloading will fail, too.

If it's the same file (I guess it is...), we could use https://github.com/A...chive/v1.0.zip.

The output looks much better:
Spoiler


As you can see, the file is found and my function detects

DjinniCompanion-1.0.zip (-> filename)
22013781 (-> filesize)
0 ( -> no resume)

Edit: Meh, not exactly the same. Why can't nerds produce stuff that works with nerdy tools. :ermm:



#577204 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 27 April 2015 - 10:33 AM in Mega Mod Help

You could also use the script name to get the path and stick with the vbs... ;)
SplitPath = Split(WScript.ScriptFullName, "\")
For s = 0 to Ubound(SplitPath) - 1
    AppPath = AppPath & SplitPath(s) & "\"
Next
objStartFolder = AppPath & "BiG World Setup\Config"

You just split the script full name, which is the complete path to its folder + a name.
Then append the usual and you're done.

It's funny that it looks similar to AutoIt3-code.



#577600 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 15 May 2015 - 07:30 AM in Mega Mod Help

BWS install logic is not made for editing files.
It was made to tell weidu to install x with language y and maybe give an answer when subcomponent z should be selected.

Because there is no weidu-component to edit the tobEx.ini, BWS does not show it or install it thus WeiDU does not edit the file.
Just use --list-components and --list-languages or take a look at Config\Global\%Modname%.ini and look for WeiDU-EN to get the components that can be installed.
If you ran BWS and selected a game, you can also use Config\%GAMENAME%\WeiDU-EN.ini or look at the builtin editor.



#577604 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 15 May 2015 - 08:01 AM in Mega Mod Help

ToBEx is a launcher that injects its code directly into the BGMain.exe, so it's not using the override-folder of biffs or anything that would cause trouble if you change it.
So you can edit that ini-file any time if you don't like something or want to have extended logging or something else.

#579808 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 26 July 2015 - 05:57 AM in Mega Mod Help

Ask Leonardo, he got those three versions in his guide. It just was some topic of head scratching back then.
First is outdated, second seems to be ok for BGT installs and 6.91 is greyed out, but I don't remember what that should reflect. Guess it's not as "solid" as the other version.
Being translated also was an issue back then.



#579795 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 25 July 2015 - 11:48 PM in Mega Mod Help

Check if they are in the select.txt and some components are selectable. Some annotation won't do.



#577739 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 19 May 2015 - 11:25 AM in Mega Mod Help

It's this from the PDF:

Install Component [Summons/NPCs Set Off Traps]? [ N ]ot Install
19 1] Everyone can set off traps (excluding illusions, etc.)
20 2] Green and blue circles, and enemy summons can set off traps
21 2] Only green-circles and enemy summons can set off traps

This component can cause problems with the "Improved lIyich" component from the Tactics mod, because llych possibly runs over the traps without any action.

Since I stuck with the BWP for a long time, I just didn't add much that had no [ i ]nstall-instuction.
So if we add the conflict, we could add it.

And would you consider adding a post instead of quoting if nobody replied in the meantime or use the edit-button? Would make reading this thread a bit slicker.



#577202 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 27 April 2015 - 09:41 AM in Mega Mod Help

New BWS vbs f**ks up since you elevate the script, so it's running in the wscript path, which is c:\windows\system32. Add BiG World Setup\Config to that path you find nothing... Got this by displaying Wscript.Echo objStartFolder.
 
And nope, BWS already uses --no-check-certificate... Scales of Balance works...

Djinn Master works but Djinn 1.0 gets this:
 
"D:\Temp\Test_BWS\BigWorldSetup-bigworldsetup-5a3a2b5a4cc2\BiG World Setup\Tools\wget.exe" --no-passive-ftp --connect-timeout=20 --tries=1 --no-check-certificate --server-response --spider "https://github.com/A...mpanion-v1.0.7z"

#576452 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 04 April 2015 - 08:16 AM in Mega Mod Help

@dragonian:
Dunno, I still see them.
If you search for BP(, you'll get 80 hits. I don't know if that's less than you expected. So what you're doing / selecting / looking for?
Just a hunch: If you just clicked next, you're in a BG:EE game...

@Creepin:
"Normal" downloads get packed every now and then (like after a new BWP release).
Master is the current snapshot branch that fixes errors / adds stuff on a regular basis.
EET is the master-snapshot plus EET-support. It was some testing/development involved and EET is still beta because of the water colour-issue and the "go" from the author is pending. So until then, you could technically install EET with the BWS, but since EET was removed from the configuration, you can't do that. ;)
GLOBAL-INI was a testing branch for moving mod-configurations into a global-folder. It's just to prevent multiple instances of the same information since the BWS does not only install BWP but EE1 and EE2 and so on, so mods like scs, atweaks don't have to be maintained 4 or 5 times if something new comes up. It's more a internal thing that you should not notice much. It takes a few seconds to create the old formatted files in the folders if you select a game for the first time, but that's all. It was merges into the master branch already.



#575264 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 07 February 2015 - 08:34 AM in Mega Mod Help

Well if you still got the errors, I'd restore the backup and and let the BiG World Installpack do the installation.
I don't have Windows 8.1 to reproduce this and I don't know if your PC is blocking something or was configured that way (e.g. the PC not able to run vbs-files).

All I can tell you is that BWS uses the cmd-entries to install fix/smooth/textpacks and so on, which wouldn't get applied if these fail, and that would be a load of unnecessary (and already fixed) faults. So either redo the install as it was and stop before the real install starts and start the BiG World Installpack yourself (start the cmd as admin and navigate into the games directory) or go back, switch to the installpack-option and let that go through.

After one google for VTRoot, I'd guess that you run Comodo Firewall and it does not like the BWS...



#575254 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 07 February 2015 - 03:37 AM in Mega Mod Help

Try it the right-click -> "Run as Admin" way. I was told that you have to run AutoIt3 as admin if you want to use it using Windows 8.
Since the vbs would always start the Autoit3 as admin, you have to do it yourself.



#575134 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 01 February 2015 - 05:35 AM in Mega Mod Help

Why would you download those files yourself? The purpose of the BWS is to do that for you. (I mean, you can do it, but I view it as more work.)
Including extraction and installation. If you want to install via BiG World Installpack (batch-files), you select that, or you stay with the BWS approach to install and be able to select you components by clicking through a GUI.

Edit: @Alien: I don't think that the approach is much different for Andy since it seems like he already selected mods one way or the other and must have spent some time to select those. And if you think about having groups like in the batch, you can either just let the components-tree closed or if there's something new (like the adult question ages ago). you (as in Alien) could create groups to ease the selection of that group.

But I also think that you should use the things you're comfortable with.



#575101 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 31 January 2015 - 03:39 AM in Mega Mod Help

@Tzarnal: This part is for ignoring minor problems, e.g. to install mods if the conflict does not cause a crash or something.
If you edit BiG World Setup.au3 with a text-editor and add the bold lines around line 144, you'll also get rid of the crash. Can't remember if there were other things fixed later though...
If IsArray($Ignores) Then
For $i=1 to $Ignores[0][0]
For $c=1 to $g_Connections[0][0]
If $Ignores[$i][1] <> $g_Connections[$c][1] Then ContinueLoop
$g_Connections[$c][3] = 'W'&$g_Connections[$c][3]
ExitLoop
Next
Next
EndIf




#575858 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 08 March 2015 - 04:08 AM in Mega Mod Help

You likely do have bgeegraphics13.part1.rar and bgeegraphics13.part2.rar but not bgeegraphics13.part3.rar in your download-folder.
Get http://www.shsforums...phics-overhaul/ and put it in that folder. Ignore the error when extracting bgeegraphics13.part2.rar.
And next time, maybe load the master-file and not the download since that error should have been fixed in the master-branch download.



#575861 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 08 March 2015 - 04:35 AM in Mega Mod Help

There are no BiG World Text/Smooth/Fixpacks involved in the BGEE-installs. So there's nothing that tries to patch the mods files.



#576323 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 31 March 2015 - 10:30 AM in Mega Mod Help

You can add the components when you're in the selection screen. Dump the mod into the BG2-folder, choose Options > Admin > components.
A new screen appears and you can choose the Divine Remix at the top. Then choose the translation at the bottom and copy and paste the French translation from left to right screen. by selecting all entries and using the shortcut [STRG]+[C). Save with [STRG]+[s) and restart the BWS.
Or add this to the WeiDU-FR.ini

Spoiler


But as I write this, I see that there's a difference between the mods versions, so you'll also have to adjust select.txt (which can also be done with the build in editor...).
Seems like install spells was stripped and a new core-component went in...



#576319 BiG World Setup (an attempt to update the program)

Posted by dabus on 31 March 2015 - 09:03 AM in Mega Mod Help

1) Maybe just missed it. BWS contains 640 mods, so that would be possible.

2) BWP guide says not to since it would be not compatible wit BGT.

3) That is an "init"-entry for following multiple-choice(s), but it has a different "setting" as the others, so it shows up in a different area.
Open your games select.txt look for BG1NPC and this will fix it.
MUC;bg1npc;Init;05;1111;
MUC;bg1npc;29;05;1111;
MUC;bg1npc;30;05;0000;

Or you can try the build in editor and change it that way.

The latest version is the master and can be found here, see Commits for changes..
The downloads are for guys that don't like snapshots and are not updated frequently.
