Actually you make a good point, I think it is time Unfinished Business for BG1 & BG2 were updated. Far as I know there was still content that had not been pieced back together due to a list on saw that someone made on another forum.

 

Also the many years should have brushed up various Modder's writing skills, and should have a revisit.

 

Nice call Almateria, I think this should be discussed in the near future.

The BiG-World-Fixpack has patches for version 8.2.7 of this mod.

Are they included in version 8.2.8?

After further investigation it looks like the BiG-World-Fixpack patches (which are for BP-BGT Worldmap compatibility btw) weren't added to the mod, so I sent a pull request to the Fixpack to make it apply them on top of version 8.2.8 of the mod.

It wasn't added because there's a staggering lack of communication in the community. Nobody told me stuff!

I have moved a part of discussion here and cleaned it up a bit. Let's keep this thread about ARP, pretty please.

Some component of this mod seems to heavily corrupt WORLDMAP.WMP.

 

This is what NI reports:

 

Spoiler

 

Are these errors harmless enough?

Which check option of NI did you run for this?

You sure you're using a new version? Stopped messing with probabilities past 6

Roxanne,

 

I run the check Tools->Check->For corrupted files

 

Almateria,

 

I am using the latest version of your mod. And of Near Infinity as well.

Ah. Dunno what that might be then. :(

 

Programming is less like riding a bike and more like  taking an advanced calculus class in college, haha. You keep forgetting what stuff means and what causes what.

...Wisp, help? :(

I wouldn't know it either but since nobody ever reported this I am assuming it's nothing really serious.

 

I'd still like for someone to chime in and confirm my findings though. I may have a cursed computer and I wouldn't even be that surprised... :)

Using the NI method to check that you used: I have no such error in my worldmap.wmp with my heavily modded EET install - without the Almateria mod.

The component that is corrupting the worldmap.wmp file is "Restored final slayer dream".

 

Unfortunately I am not able to debug it and fix it myself.

Yeah it's the only .wmp editing component. However, it uses the standard Weidu macro for that, so... not sure what can be wrong. I don't have a functional computer right now. :(

I am a WeiDU illiterate but there are some things that made me perplexed about the code for the "Restored final slayer dream" component.

 

First of all, it seems you are adding 5 entrances: one to AR2700, one to AR2600, one to AR2500, one to AR1700 and finally one to AR1800.

 

In the array though, I do not see AR2700 while I see a bunch of areas that should have nothing to do with anything. Are those perhaps copy pasted from the WeiDU example found at 12.2 in the WeiDU documentation?

 

The corruption happens somehow here when this function is called:

 

LAF sc#addWmpAre
  INT_VAR
    mapIcon = 16
    xCoord = 1095 + wmp_xCoordAdd_SoA
    yCoord = 660 + wmp_yCoordAdd_SoA
    tTime = 2
    inclSv = 0
    visible = 0
    reachable = 1
    visited = 0
    visibleAdjacent = 0
  STR_VAR
    areName = ~ar2700~
    strName = EVAL "%GrovName%"
    strDesc = EVAL "%GrovName%"
    worldmap = "worldmap"
RET areNum = areNum END

 

but I have no idea how and why.

 

The only hint I have from NI is that the number of unused bytes (216) at offset 10c80h in the worldmap.wmp file is the sum of all the overlapping bytes found (4+32+4+4+8+8+8+8+8+4+128).

 

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

 

One last thing... The corruption does not happen if I install the BP-BGT Worldmap (before or after).

Oh! No, the entrances actually have a point to them. The regular AR2700 grove has no defined entries or exits, so you can't travel TO it with it on the map, and you can't rly travel from it, and I wanted to add sensible directional entry points. And they work!

 

One last thing... The corruption does not happen if I install the BP-BGT Worldmap (before or after).

Yeah K4thos made me a thing that allows for compatibility with Worldmap. Somehow.

 

 

uhhhghhhh.

also i might be going wild but does that NI warning say the offsets overlap themselves?

Yes, exactly that.

I reported the error messages as spoiler above.

Is there going to be a bugfix for "Restored final slayer dream" component? That sounds like a rather cool thing to include. I'd be willing to wait for a patch before I start my install and play-through, but if Almateria doesn't currently have a working computer I'm not sure if she can patch it, or if anyone else can. I may just install this without options 11 and 12 for "Restored final slayer dream" and "Alternate Slayer Change".

I've never beaten BG2 and I'm very interested in restored content and seeing everything that was planned.


Nihilism makes me smile.

I think enderandrew meant the bug Salk reported in November on this very page, after any summer fix you may have done. I second his hope that it can be remedied.
