from the BPv177 TOB Trigger Fix Readme:

a hotfix to repair a broken entry in TRIGGER.IDS that prevents most doors and exits opening in TOB, rendering it unplayable.

the error: BPv177 unnecessarily adds a new WalkedToTrigger entry to TRIGGER.IDS; this new entry doesn't actually work, rendering any script that references WalkedToTrigger (most exits and doors in TOB, as it happens) nonfunctional.


the fix: thanks to CamDawg's generosity, the fix first replaces the broken trigger with a dummy trigger, then recompiles all scripts that use WalkedToTrigger, then replaces the dummy trigger with the correct entry: voila! functioning TOB game without requiring a BP reinstall.

note: 1. this hotfix will not be needed once BPv178 is actually released; just don't ask me *when* that'll be, yeah? it *was* meant to be before the end of august...
2. this is packaged with a very old version of weidu: it might tell you something about the handstitched nature of my own install that weidu v191 is the most recent one i've got.
3. this fix will take a bit of time to run: don't panic, it's just doing it's thing.


THANKS:

Horred the Plague - as always, for building BP in the first place
Miraz - for pointing out the problem
CamDawg - for kindly providing the code
ronin69hof - for coding up a separate version himself simultaneous to this version.
the BP/ BP Family/ Mega-Install community - it's because you lot keep playing it that i want to keep working on it.

Just a question, when should i install this mod? Is there any specific part of the installation that this should go to or is it okay to install this anywhere after BP177?

Thanks. :)

anywhere after BPv177 - you can even install it after you start TOB and hit the problem, as it will fix broken games.

With BP 177a out is the hot fix still needed, or did you manage to cure the prob?

The BP 177a is just a translation, so you'll need the fix pack too...

This update only adds French and Spanish translations to BP. No new bug fixes or content in BPv177a.

Thanks Jarno. I am glad I grabbed it. I only got a little bit more to go with this install but my pillow is calling me big time. Been up for almost 48 straight. As soon as I finish it, test it, I will be back to tell all if the paledins of Fearun and the Sub Race works.
