Hey, I thought DSotSC was done. :blush:

Those darn bug finders keep nailing me with stuff that I missed. I guess we could all be grateful that one version of DSotSC has made it out the door this past year. Not sure what happend to the other one... Oh well, I give them 4 years to get NTotSC out. :lol:

So I'm confused a little then.... Something is definately wrong there...

I'm just playing a little with a plain BGT install. It copies loads of files into \override\ and I want to clean it up. So, when I put 2 .tis's (ar0015 & ar0072) into a .biff those areas stop to load properly. Area is loading but background graphics is absolutely corrupted  :blink: But if I put .tis's to \override\ again - everything is ok once again. So I can clean everything from \override\ to .biff except those 2 files.

Any clues what's this all about..?

Once again sorry for the offtopic....

The problem is: tis files in the override have a slightly different format than tis files in the biff's. In the override, they have a 24-bit "header", whereas in the biff's they do not. In order to make this work, I use tispack/unpack. I make .tiz files, then unpack them into tis using the "-h" setting (no header); and then they can go into the biff's safely. ;)

I take it that the new Auto-Biffer is toast and S/N/B used.

No, the auto-biffer works just fine. It's simply going to cause a nightmare because the mods involved are apparently not "final" versions, or even close. Not everybody can maneuver their way around the files to save their game as I can, nor should have to. Hopefully the individual modmakers will incorporate their respective pieces into their respective installs--when and ONLY when they aren't going to release any "new VERSIONS"-- and make the need of my proggie obsolete.

Got it. I downloaded the file in the hopes of cleaning up what usually turns into a very messy install. As of late, I've left several aborted installs bleeding on the cold tile floors. I'm about to hit the BP autoinstaller. I'll crawl out from under my rock again in about an hour-and-a-half and see how things went.

Happy Trails . . .

Okay, I have a biff batch file for the BGT areas effected by CtB and another batch file for DSotSC. At this point, those are the only mods/minimods that are 99% complete. BoneHill is getting scrubbed now and Hlid is working on the BG1NPC mod (right??). So Horred, we may be ready for a new version of this in a few weeks. In the meantime, I will post up the batch file for DSotSC so we can get that one out of the override folder.
