EET Failure on 2.5 beta


Recommended Posts

I had been testing EET (with BWS) on the 2.5 betas successfully previously, but now it fails to install on 2.5 beta.

 

 

ERROR: Failure("EET/TEMP/PATCH/ARE/BG2200.ARE: read out of bounds")

Enhanced Edition Trilogy (Enhanced Edition Trilogy) was not installed due to errors.

 

 

Without this component the installation cannot be continued.

You can try to verify with change-log on ar2200.are in BGEE (Cloackwood First area I think) if there is any mod that changes the file. I know of no EET-compatible mod that touches this are-file prior to EET, but then I do not know everything.

 

If that leads to no result, the only remaining source for this error that never was reported until the last 2.5beta came out would in deed be that new build. Whatever bean dogs do in the wood....?

I think BeamDog must have changed the file, because someone else who was getting the same error as me then reverted back to the non-beta version of BGEE/BG2EE and EET installed just fine.

 

So EET may have to do a version check and handle that different if you have 2.5 or don't.

This implies that whatever they did to the are was a valid change and not a mistake.

read out of bounds

 

this is not something that just appears if you tweak some existing are-file unless you screw something up.

 

Before everyone panics and hastily tries to implement solutions on their end, why not wait until the source may be fixed. We are talking about some beta version out for testing vs a community using their stuff that works.

I agree that Beamdog likely changed the file intentionally and it was not a mistake.

 

I'm just giving you guys a heads up that EET will likely have to be updated when 2.5 final comes out, where as previously it looked like all the mods were installing the same on the 2.5 beta with no problems.

 

I can upload a version of BG2200.ARE from the 2.5 beta if you want to compare differences.

I was curious myself and installed EET on the latest 2.5 patches. My installation failed on this particular ARE file as well. I was able to track the issue to several invalid or conflicting actor definitions within the ARE file that EET seems to choke on.

 

I have created a small mod that fixes these inconsistencies: EET-ARE_fix-v2.zip

 

Run this mod on BG1EE before starting the EET installation.

 

EET will still finish with a couple of warnings, which may or may not affect gameplay in some way.

 

Edit: Uploaded a fixed version that doesn't produce log entries.

Genius.

 

Do you have by any chance those warnings logged?

Another question

Would not EET fail with the message that the "EET preparation: Fix ARE actor offsets" mode is unknown when it checks the list of mods to be imported from BGEE? Unless you delete this entry from Weidu.log.

It will cause EET to fail. The "EET preparation: Fix ARE actor offsets" must not add weidu.log entry. Direct patching EET is to much work.

I have looked at those warnings meanwhile. It appears to me that they are harmless - just probably irritating to the user,

They appear for patches inside of EET that can no longer be applied, my assumption is that the issues that EET tries to patch are already corrected in the new BGEE version.

However, this needs to be confirmed by someone who can look at the respective new files from 2,5.

 

It should not impact gameplay, but all EET users getting an *Installed with warning* is not a solution for long.
