Thanks to recent work on BG1 Unfinished Business, I was looking at the way BGT imports creatures and stores from BG1. I thereby discovered some small errors with respect to resources that were renamed for SoA compatibility.


1. bgshop08.cre gets the wrong dialog file assigned to it. From setup-bgt.tp2:

COPY + ~bg1cre/bgshop08.cre~ ~bg1cre/bgshop08.cre~
  WRITE_ASCII 0x2cc ~BGSHOP07~ // dialogue file

This should be:

COPY + ~bg1cre/bgshop08.cre~ ~bg1cre/bgshop08.cre~
  WRITE_ASCII 0x2cc ~BGSHOP08~ // dialogue file

 


2. In two stores in southwest Baldur's Gate, the shop owners' characters aren't updated to their renamed CRE files:

In base\are\ar8015.are, the CRE file for actor 0 is currently shop04.cre. This needs to be bgshop04.cre.
In base\are\ar8017.are, the CRE file for actor 4 is currently shop07.cre. This needs to be bgshop07.cre.

Good job, as usual!

Is this just a matter of editing the two ARE files' CRE field, changing shop04 with bgshop04 and shop07 with bgshop07 respectively? (via hex editing)

Thanks.

Yes, if you don't want to wait for an updated version, you can simply edit the two area files locally with NearInfinity.

Oh I don't mind waiting. I did it for many years and am still doing. I just don't know whether Ascension64's career as IE modder is to be considered closed yet.

Ascension64 has been MIA for some time. Thought you were done playing BG(T)(EE), Salk?

Heh... Alas, I am not.
