The Redemption mod has been updated to new version - 1.2.0

The new version adds an inventory bam to Irenicus's animation, it also has new optional portrait - the one I am going to use in LR/R.

Irenicus now has proficiency in daggers and lore 120. I also fixed a few odd typos etc.

Please keep me informed of any new bugs!

It still says Version 1.13. Is that just unchanged typing?

Argh, I thought I changed it everywhere... the zip and the exe files both named properly... Do you see 1.1.3 during the install? If it is so, then tell me at what step. The Readme file should say 1.2.0 ...

In any case I am checking now.

I re-checked all the files and the download site. It is v 1.2.0 everywhere... Please make sure you removed old Setup.exe and Setup.tp2!

Oops. My computer was caching the page. I didn't catch that. Sorry for the confusion.

I fixed the download page -- finally, so that v 1.2 is available again. v1.1.3 was compatible with BP etc, but it lacked an inventory paperdoll bam.

Hmm, it seems as if whole bunch of errors is popping up with BP-Redemption combo... I just fixed one related to the Ascension being hardwired into BP. But I cannot be sure if this is also the problem you are having.

An Assertion failed in ChSould.cpp at line number 4905 is a weird error message. I seem to remember that it happend upon trying to install a ToB mod onto the game without ToB or some such. I am going to copy paste your question to BP forum.

See if you can send me your weidu.log file -- maybe there were some installation errors.

Ah, if it was the sound related issue than it is even worse. Redemption adds 1 extra Song to the Music folder... But it is only 1. Can you check if you have MxTrem1A.acm file in the music\MxTrem1 folder in your main dir?

[Chevalier]

BP/BGT/NeJ Maxs out the music. In the next version can you change it to a wave file in the override folder?

[dorotea]

I don't think it is possible -- the file is acm and is too long... Besides I am not sure if PlaySong() can be replaced with PlaySound() as easily... even if I can make an ogg and add ogg2wav... The easiest way would be to remove the song altogether and live without it in this particular package.

Or perhaps BG/BGT/NeJ could make some compatability concessions itself, hmmm? Having to work around mods that max out or do weird things, such as the BG/BGT/NeJ behemoth does with music or Refinements does with kits and display icons, can be very frustrating for a modder. Especially when the mod isn't one you use (because contrary to popular belief not everyone plays BG/BGT/NeJ), and the issue is one that the other mod could address with a little consideration.

In short, compatability is a good thing - but some of the demands I see people foisting on other modders to force compliance are not something I am too hot on.

[Chevalier]

I know not everyone plays BP or BP/BGT/NeJ


'Or perhaps BG/BGT/NeJ could make some compatability concessions itself, hmmm?' What do you think BP is all about? It is a compatability concession. I made no demans, but asked a question. The main thing I would like modders to do is when they make a new mod to do whet they can to make it more compatable. There are a few BP modders that seem to be happy to work with others to make a patch to make things work. I know not every mod will work with BP, but making mod A work with mod G is a good thing.

And if you don't want to change things just say no. No hard feelings from me.

I wasn't getting at you specifically.

[dorotea]

As Chev has mentioned, the combination of the mods you are playing maxes out the Song list... ( there cannot be more than 100 Songs in this list, or at least that is how I understand this.)

The crude and simple way to fix this might be to edit the Redemption tp2 file -- by editing out ADD_MUSIC function... This will mean that you can play the mod but it will be mute in the otherwise 'vocalised' scenes.

Basically doing this:

//add music
//MKDIR ~music/MxTrem1~
//COPY ~redemption/music/MxTrem1.mus~ ~music/MxTrem1.mus~
//COPY~redemption/music/MxTrem1/MxTrem1A.acm~
//~music/MxTrem1/MxTrem1A.acm~
//ADD_MUSIC ~MxTrem1~ ~redemption/music/MxTrem1.mus~

and saving the tp2 should remove the extra song that is crashing your game, or so I think. Do this after Uninstall -- then re-install

aye -- and this too:

//REPLACE_TEXTUALLY 999996 ~%MxTrem1%~
