hey gang, i've got around to updating my BP series character scripts, and in doing so i've added some BGT functionality; notably:

• auto-pause triggers have been changed to percentages instead of absolute HP values
  
• weapon preferences have been tweaked to encourage missle weapon use

so now it should work with BGT-Weidu. note the use of the word should: i've actually done this for use with BP-Weidu, and so it uses KD's new detectable stats and spells.ids; if BGT-Weidu uses the same values (a reasonable assumption, but not necessarily an accurate one) then BP Series v3 should work a treat with BGT-Weidu. otherwise it's gonna be CTD-city. :eep:

it's probably not worth noting in this forum, but i'll do it anyway: BP Series v3 won't work with non-weidu BGT or with non-weidu BP. trust me.

links to the new version of the BP Series can be found in my .sig; post any bugs/ CTDs problems in this thread, and i'll try to get 'em fixed.

is it my stats.ids or is there something wrong with the install.

answered there as well - try adding a return to the first entry of yr STATS.IDS (which is MAXHITPOINTS) and then try again.

If what you are saying is that BPSeries requires KD's new detectable stats and spells.ids (i.e. doesn't have these copies in the install) then the scripts will not be compatible with BGT-WeiDU unless you already have BP installed. I could be wrong of course if BPSeries comes with its own stats and spells.

indeed, i am saying that the v3 of the BP Series requires KD's new detectable stats and spells.ids. the intent was to make it work with the BP-weidu beta, and with the BP-BGT-weidu beta that i know some ppl are mad enough to install; i was rather hoping, but not really expecting, that it would work with a straight BGT-weidu.

i don't think packaging a copy of KD's stats and spells with the BP Series is a great idea - the idea of guaranteeing compatibility with it by breaking compatibility with every other script in the game seems like a false economy...




and, entirely off-topic, and running the risk of turning this into a spam-thread - how long have you been in canberra for, ascension? last time i looked, you were in .sg, weren't you?

[seanas]

actually, i've just found a coding example for installing .bs files without having to pre-compile them (from the ever useful G3Tweaks, of course), so if someone wants to post the relevant .IDS files from BGT-Weidu (at a guess, SPELL.IDS, STATS.IDS and EA.IDS, and any others that are changed from BGII standard during BGT-Weidu installation) then i can make an actual, functioning, BGT-Weidu Series.

P.S. What country is .sg? I've always been in Canberra, Australia.

[ScuD]

.sg means Singapore, no?

[Ascension64]

.sg means Singapore, no?

Fair enough, I couldn't pinpoint it because I was thinking of European countries. Don't know why...but yep, I've always been in Canberra.

The only changes are to ACTION.IDS, GTIMES.IDS, and MUSICLIST.IDS.  No other IDS files are altered.  Here is the .tp2 code for BGT-WeiDU:

ok, in which case, if you could forward me the BGT versions of SPELL.IDS, STATS.IDS and EA.IDS (cos they're the ones that the BP Series makes use of; in BP they differ from generic BGII; and i'm making an assumption that BGT is using the generic, not BP versions of these files) i'll add BGT compatibility.

and yeah, i dunno why i thought you were in singapore - i went back and checked my email and found out that i was mistaken. apologies for the brain-spasm.
