The Imp

I have just ran into an inconsistency and just wanted to ask:

 

The BiG World (Setup) Fixpack, has a Creature Fixer mod included in it, that looks very much alike the Miloch's updated Creature fixer, with version numbers and all. I don't possess the WinMerge tool at this location and can't acquire it either. So the question came to mind: Is this intentional ? -and are they different? -how ? -and if so, could the BWS actually make the legit mod the actual source of the said fix, and if there's any patches to the current one, could you post a request it in this forum to patch it at. This started as my intention to post there... but not having the tool removed that option.

I am aware that the original thread that both refer to is no longer the origin and so what happened is no longer for me or some of the participants to really judge.

 

Just a heads up: I also intend to post this thread as the "Question" thread for other posters that have polite questions "for the BW Fixpack upkeepers", mainly the BWS'es Fixpack, so I can point them here. And you can also do the same. So hopefully that's OK.

 

Disclaimer: Remember to try to be polite ! Flaming in this thread will lead to no good results and will definitely not further whatever goals such behavior intends to archive.

The content of this thread should be free to use by anyone, and I encourage anyone that has similar to use, to add theirs to here. So the 1PP users can use them, themselves, and if the SHSforums ever updates this mods v4.1, then they are free to do it too. None of these require any text updates, so creating an update might be easy as a pie. :hands a pie:

 

The community has created 1PP fixes to be available to the BWP/S Fixpack, to the following components:

.tpa file patches: 114, 202, 208, 400, 401. And then there's two .bam files to the copied solar folder.

The .tp2 edit is just diff to differenciate the BWP -fixed and non fixed installs, so it's to be disregarded if a new version is uploaded.

 

The 1PP_HQ_music, the acm_upsample.exe converted is updated, it's available here. The mod would be probably be best to be made to use the HANDLE_AUDIO weidu function. ... but that's up to whom ever will do that.

 

And then there's the 1PP thief galore, that the community has produced 3 additional/different .bam files for it here. So consider them to be available for use.

The BWS fixpack has these fixes to this mod. Together 4 .baf patches of typo's, and patch to the .tp2 and .sh file to make it compatible with Linux.

If the mod ever get's an update and that is approved to the BWS, this fix will be removed from the BWS Fixpack.

PS: And please shoot the messages, it knows nothing about why those are there, if they are reported on this forum and so forth. Apparently, the message is just that important. Hint, there's just a little bit of sarcasm. But way more spam.

The nephele/dialogue/lk#ne25j.d
Has a ... dialog transition problem so to speak. As it won't start without having the NPC available to speak and part of the party, neither which are checked before the fix.

And you can see the fix here. It's in the BWS'es fixpack, and so most todays users will likely have it, but that might not be the case for everyone, let alone those that have installed this mod before the last 4 months, that the fix has been available.
If the mod is ever updated and the new version is approved to be set to use, the fix will be removed from the BW Fixpack.

Aka the topic that just reaffirms on what the next version should contain. If and, ... it ever comes out.

The aTweaks has compatibility complication with the Golem construction mod... which can be easily solved by just checking that the creature uses the old avatar. Here's the edit to the atweak/lib/310-creature_colouring.tpa -file.

If this is ever updated, please try to PM either ALIEN or Roxanne here at the forum, or whom ever is maintaining the BW Fixpack by then, about this.

 

Sincerest thanks.
