The Darkest Day will have a release party next week. The version will be 1.13 with the same components. Just wanted to let you guys know as that may deprecate the newest Big World Setup and you won't need all the BWP fixes for TDD.

Thanks for the great news, Hoppy.
Why do you think it will deprecate the newest BWS? What do you mean by that?

Greetings Leomar

I wasn't sure if version numbers matter. Maybe I meant the manual or PDF. As long as the Worldmap mod is extracted before running TDD, TDD can patch the Revised tables in Worldmap which is imperative for the travel ability and times fix for the Haunted forest with Revised Travel Times. Otherwise there will be errors or it will fail

ScuD's P5Tweaks's v5 fix
Fix: here

O.K., that is not a problem for the BWP, because the BWS extract all mods into the BG2 folder, before the Install.bat does the work. So TDD can patch the Worldmap modfiles.

But is it not better, to talk with erebusant to update the Worldmap mod, so the Worldmap mod handles the special TDD issues?

I believe Hoppy would, had erebusant the time to update the Worldmap mod... but as for now, the TDD can update the Worldmap mods content when they are both extracted to the game folder and TDD is being installed... so the BWS doesn't need to do a thing in this matter, except enable the option to choose the Revised Travel Times... when all the other components become available to be install individually.

He made the patching code way back when I asked about it. It just updates the TDD tables for when Worldmap gets installed.


EDIT: Original travel times are fine but this also helps make sure that the worldmap mod is extracted and will be installed at some point, even with just two or three mods.

TOD script stuff
Fix: here (attached in next post)

Edwin Romance

Posting in case someone with coding skills wishes to make a fix for this, some mod that has introduced content in Halruaa (AFAIK is a location in FR) changes TWO instances of edwin.bcs from

IF
GlobalTimerExpired("DegardanSpawn","GLOBAL")

TO

IF
!Global("VP_InHalruaa","GLOBAL",1)
GlobalTimerExpired("DegardanSpawn","GLOBAL")

which causes the EDWIN_DEGARDAN.BCS to not find BOTH of the blocks it needs when patching for EDWIN_DEGARDAN_ROMANCE.BCS

Edited by Himself, 07 March 2010 - 12:28 PM.

That Halruaa part gets added by NeJ2 and methinks the only fix for this is if Edwin romance considers that NeJ2 was installed prior to it (in which case, it would check for the Halruaa blocks ). You should report this at their forums, Himself (maybe this can hasten up a new version with the fixed .cre )

For the record, the offending block replacing Degardan's code is in NeJ2\sFix\n5Edwin.baf (but there's 6 other .baf's in the same mod that replace a number of blocks for all NPCs )

My guess is that those blocks are for NPC quest timers to keep quest creature spawns from spawning in the Halruaa areas from NeJ. TS does similar things for this kind of predicament.

The fix here is to update the Edwin Romance mod to use something less antiquated than REPLACE_BCS_BLOCK. Updating it to use BAF files instead of BCS files would probably also be a good idea.

Widescreen mod fix
Fix: here

Have you confirmed that it actually works in every game area in the normal aspect rations (4:3, 16:10), and not just TV's 16:9 in Tutu... I would advice against fixing the problem for now... as the next Widescreen mod will come out soon.

Edited by Jarno Mikkola, 11 March 2010 - 04:12 AM.

[Lollorian]

Well no actually I didn't think about a fix breaking something that already works Might just be better to wait for the widescreen (and WeiDU ... and BG2Fixpack ... and ... )
