BG2 Fixpack v11 Beta 4 Released


Recommended Posts

May I ask is there a reason why BG2 Fixpack detect TobEx presence using file detection instead checking weidu.log via "REQUIRE_COMPONENT" ?

It's because there's a quite few patches that are skipped when the ToBEx is present... search the .tp2 file with "// skip this song and dance if TobEx is present" As this way they can simply use ...

ACTION_IF !tobex_game BEGIN

... or similar things. Aka it's a variable, used in the patch processes... not a optionalized component. Which is where the REQ's are used. Or that's my take on it..

This isnt needed for EE, right?

Just to confirm, no. It's not needed in BG2EE/BG1EE/SoD, only for non-EE BG2. Well, that too can be debated, but it's made for, that.

 

and beside, he could not also release anything at all after he joined EE team

I don't know, what you are talking about. The point being that making a sentense seems to be reeaallly hard for you. Edited by Jarno Mikkola

Version 10 will allow you to install a lot of stuff you shouldn't for BG2EE, which is why "don't use it" is the general advice.

 

If you wish to get technical, there are a handful of OBC components which can be used on BG2EE in v11:

  • Mixed-Use Dagger Fixes
  • Ghreyfain's Holy Symbol Fixes
  • Corrected Summoned Demon Behavior
  • Wizard Slayers Cause Miscast Magic on Ranged Attacks
  • Change Free Action to Protect Against Stun
  • Remove Thieving Start Bonuses from Bard and Ranger Skills

The rest--main components, text updates, other OBCs--are either included already in BG2EE or not relevant, and are skipped automatically in the current v11 beta. I just noticed that Bard Song Fixes is also available, but shouldn't be, so one more fix for the next release.

It is caused by wiedu 24600, if I use 24200 (shipped with mod), everything is fine.

According to your debug file, you were using 245, not 246. The error you experienced was fixed in 246.
