Adding mod kits to 2.0

Grammarsalad

Can anybody outline what is needed to install kit mods to 2.0.

I understand that this error comes up:

ERROR: Failure("cannot set column-wise to 25STWEAP.2DA")

I'd like to have everything working at the time of release, but I don't have access to the beta, and so I'm working blind

EDIT - poop, that file exists in pre-EE games as well. Which means it's not a matter of changing the FL#_add_kit_ee add-on, but rather, changing ADD_KIT itself. Which is much more problematic.

@Dee @Cerevant and other devs, if this is really going to break ADD_KIT, perhaps you guys can leave a vestigial version of that file in the game (could just put a '*' in every entry) just so kit mods don't break? That might be the way to address this that involves the lest effort.

I'll do more testing in any event.

It's been a while, but I believe that in pre-ee games, we just left that row blank. Maybe replace the values with just ~~ and see if it installs

@subtledoctor You have posted the 25STWEAP.2DA from BG1:EE (which has been indeed reduced to a placeholder file in v2.0).

The BG2:EE version still contains valid data:

@ALIEN did you get this error only on BGEE 2.0?

ALIEN

@Grammarsalad Yes, only on BG1EE 2.0

Grammarsalad

@ALIEN

Okay, cool. Do you mind seeing if this installs?

(uninstall it immediately after. It won't function well as a kit)

On my phone... @Grammarsalad does that just overwrite the file? We could add that in an ALWAYS block to every kit mod... but it would be a lot easier if the placeholder file in the game didn't require it.

@subtledoctor
No, it just replaces the line corresponding to 25stweap.2da with "~~"

I.e. it doesn't add anything to the file.

Grammarsalad

I doubt that we can do an engine check in the middle of an ADD_KIT. Assuming this works, we'll have to have two versions of each kit: one for bgee, and one for bg2ee, iwdee, eet, and bgt.

Kind of annoying

Edit; though, I suppose it's easy to test...

I'm 99% sure it will work. I can probably test tomorrow to be certain.

But it means every kit mod that isn't actively updated will be rendered broken. Better if the devs just leave a BG2-formatted version of the file in there. That's why I tagged Dee and Cerevant above.

Agree.

Great. But @subtledoctor 's solution is better. Just drop a copy of the bg2ee 25stweap.2da into your bgee override folder for now. Everything should install, and it'll be addressed in the next build

Drackolus

Any hope for us plebs who only own bg:ee in the meantime? I'd like to copy it over but, ah, I don't have a 25stweap.2da to copy over.

I do have an old version of the original ToB, are they similar enough to work if I just copy that one over? Seeing as the game won't read that file anyway?

Much abliged!

25STWEAP.2DA will be properly blanked (using * symbols but retaining the existing row/column structure) as of the next BG:EE patch.

@subtledoctor
Looks like the issue will be addressed shortly
