Getting started with BGT

Ok, here goes.

It was a clean install. I completely uninstalled the previous installation and then deleted the files that were left after uninstallation and started fresh. I installed BG, started and saved a game, installed TotSC, started and saved a game, installed BGII SoA, started and saved a game, installed BGII ToB, started and saved a game, installed the 5512 BG patch, installed the BGII 26498 patch, installed the BG2 Fix pack V6, installed BGT 1.05b, then installed the BGT 1.05b patch. My weidu log is below:

My disc set is a 4 DVD set. BG is one DVD, TotSC is another, SoA another, and finally ToB the fourth. I'm not sure the version and I use english whenever a language option is presented if that's what you're asking. Is that information found on the discs or in the game?

I installed the BGT-WeiDU(v1.05b+patch) in English.

My NPCSound.bif file is 43,510KBs and my 25Npcso.bif file is 90,830KB.

My dialog.tlk file is zipped and attached.

Thanks for your help. Hope you find something.

Thanks, will have a good look at it. It might take some time, so in the meantime, are you able to continue with mismatched soundsets?

Update: Hmm, what edition is your BG1 and TotSC? Can you link me to the 5512 patch that you used? It appears that your BG1 dialog.tlk has slightly different organisation of strings than the 'standard' one. What language do you choose for your BGT-WeiDU installation?

Mine NPCSound.bif file is 43,545KBs and the 25Npcso.bif file is 90,830KB. I'll give you a PM where to download mine, after I have uploaded it, just PM me after you have tried it or report the resault in this thread so I can delete the file, OK? But first, make a backup from your file as well, so you have somehing to restore from, without the need to reinstall.

I can't say that that would fix anything up, since it is not the sounds themselves causing the problem. It appears to be a difference in StrRefs between different editions of BG:TotSC.

My edition of BGI says 1.1.4315 in the readme file and TotSC says 1.3.5508 in the readme. The 5512 patch is attached in .zip form. I got it from the bioware web page. I used the first link on the list of patches for TotSC, the "TOSC Canada and US patch". I chose english (selection 0) for the WeiDU installation.

I tried replacing the NPCSound.bif with the one from Jarno Mikkola but there was no change. I now have my original back in place again to keep from getting things confused.

If it's any troubleshooting help, Imoen says the following four things when I click on her portrait on the side of the window:

1) "I am of few words and fewer hesitations! Warnings past and now you die!"
2) "I take no offense from your comments. You just don't understand the bond I have with Boo."
3) "Oh, play on bard. 'Tis sweet music to my furry friend."
4) "A bored man is an angry man."

She cyles through those four things (one per click of course). The first three are in Minsc's voice but the last one is in another voice. I did a quick google search and I think it's from a char called Garrick.

Please let me know if I can give further information that will be useful. Thanks for your help.

Don't know if you are still around tremor, but are you able to zip up and attach your BG1:TotSC dialog.tlk?

hello everyone

i've got exact problem - char voices are mismatched - i.e. imoen speaks with voice of minsc, xzar with voice of monty, monty with the voice of khalid etc

i've got 5CD BG + 1CD ToSC + 4CD SoA + 1CD ToB

patch 5512 is included to ToSC. i install everything in correct order + patch for ToB. i'm using polish version of the game.

the voice problem appears only with BG1 portion of the game, when i start the game form irenicus dungeon everything looks OK.

also during gorion vs sarevok fight i hear calm music instead of some dramatic like it allways was

i had to use BGT 1.04 because 1.05 do not accept my path to BG1 folder (but v 1.04 don't have problem with recognizing exact path)

i've tried with and without bracked in v.105 - nothing works. my pathes are D:/bg1 and D:/bg2

p.s. sorry for my english

edit.

in normal bg1 the voices are ok - imoen sounds like imoen

Thanks for that. I believe I have found the problem. Could you also attach your BG2 dialog.tlk?

This has something to do with a problem detecting all the files required for the BGT installation. You need to check that all the files have correclty installed from your BG1 discs. The list of files can be found at http://www.shsforums...showtopic=34886.

Don't worry about the BG2 dialog.tlk. Can you advise me from where you downloaded your copy of the BG2:ToB version 26498 patch?

well, after 6th install of mega modification over 10h taken from life i've found the solution - regarding of my ToSC readme says (that is v. 5512), i've installed the 5512 patch anyway, and after this, soundsets match the characters

Well, it appears to me that there is actually a problem with the BG2 dialogue. The existing strings are slightly different from those for other languages somehow. That is why I'm asking you where you got your 26498 patch from.

well i have latest patch from here http://www.bg2.gram....=article&id=405, direct link: http://hrothgar.webd...OB_PL_Patch.exe

i added also my ToB dialog.tlk

Hmm, you've provided a modded BG2 dialog.tlk. That's OK.
I'm wondering about the patch though. Is it official? Who actually made the pacth?
Clickteam Patch Maker modifies the old version to look like the new version, so whoever made it may have used a patched file that was originally modified.

When playing a BGT install, do you put the TOSC cd in you cd drive while playing BG1 portion and then your TOB cd in the cd drive while playing the BG2 portion? Or do you always use the TOB disk in you cd drive to play the whole saga start to finish?

Always the ToB disk.
