Nythrun Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Unrar the archive, overwrite the setup-bg2fixpack.tp2 inside the bg2fixpack folder, and reinstall. We can't do this via the usual dump into override, as there's a STRING_SET bug that needs fixing. Stuff that happens: Corrected Minor Globe of Invulnerability description is no longer pasted onto Know Alignment. Corrected achk.2da and mmyc.2da patches to point to the correct destination files; yanked two other soundset patches as the engine won't allow them to do anything Irenicus's final battle theme unfunkified; Summon George Clinton removed from game. Added carrion crawler soundset (mcwl.2da). Loosened the regular expression match on rufpal.bcs a bit. Extended Mace of Disruption patch to deva.itm, hamm10.itm, and hamm11.itm to compensate for opcode changes in macedisr.eff. Spurious casting time fix to spurious Bhaalspawn innates spuriously removed. Replaced references to non-existent spwnchrm animation. Protection from Storm of Vengeance also protects against string display. Beta Core Fixes: Invincible Imoen in Chateau Irenicus is even harder to do now, maybe. No new content! Hurray! Tell me about it if something's missing. Link to comment
Salk Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow.... That is what I was really hoping for, Nythrun! Thank you so much! Link to comment
Nythrun Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Why didn't you finish the assassin poison fix for this upload, Nythrun, huh? Sheesh. Some people. Link to comment
Salk Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I am so sorry to read that there are ungrateful people that can't appreciate what you have done here. Please do not let that discourage you. I am pretty much disappointed also to see no thanks on this thread but mine. And I am not certainly the only one who downloaded the revised .tp2. Oh well, let's just think they are shy... because if they just don't bother, I could as well go back to my topic "Why don't modders bother with hotfixes" and add another answer to it. Link to comment

Miloch Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Added carrion crawler soundset (mcwl.2da). No new content! Hurray! Link to comment

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's an existing fix now done The Right Wayâ„¢. Hey thanks nythrun! Link to comment
aVENGER_(RR) Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 There's a small typo in the fixpack's tp2 which causes Holy Smite to erroneously display the "Charmed" icon instead of the "Blinded" string. In short, this piece of code: // new eff for holy smite; needs to display blinded string for blinded creatures COPY_EXISTING ~blind.eff~ ~override/cdblind1.eff~ WRITE_LONG 0x10 142 // display portrait icon WRITE_LONG 0x1c 14674 // string: blinded should read: // new eff for holy smite; needs to display blinded string for blinded creatures COPY_EXISTING ~blind.eff~ ~override/cdblind1.eff~ WRITE_LONG 0x10 139 // display string WRITE_LONG 0x1c 14674 // string: blinded Link to comment
Nythrun Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 The bug with macedisr.eff is to my mind serious enough to warrant a new release - unfortunately, with CamDawg preoccupied, official releases aren't possible yet. So when I next update the hotfixes replacement tp2, would you folks who are chomping at the bit for testing opportunities like to have the new fixes that have passed consensus added to the Beta Core Fixes? There aren't a great many (and I don't make executive decisions about Fixpack content) but let us know if there's interest. Link to comment
Salk Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Personally I would definitely like to see the approved new fixes make it to the Beta for the next time you update the .tp2 file, Nythryn. Link to comment
Kulyok Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hack G3 database, plz. Password should be "trustno1". On topic, placing beta fixes into non-beta portion seems to follow the rule of "left bottom leg"(aka "okay, it's been around for long enough, and nobody complained" rule), so you won't invent anything new - if at least one test run went through(Solaufein didn't stutter, Ellesime didn't faint, etc), I'd say go for it. (And, oh, the word "concensus" for a Russian-speaking person! ) Link to comment
Nythrun Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Consensus is when your obedience comes naturally as drawing breath. Anyway, let me get some documentation together. I'll try to keep the opacity to a minimum. Link to comment
