Announcing Cursed Items Revision!, A MiniMod for BGT, (Easy)TuTu and BG2 Options

[Salk]

Cursed Items Revision hits 3.2!

Few minor corrections/changes have been made to avoid one rather funny (but inconsistent) situation and remove possible duplications for one ring.

The new version should be available at The Dargon's Hoard soon enough, as usual.

[Salk]

Thanks to Baronius, the new version is now up and running!

[Chaplain]

Ah, that I understand Ok, maybe it'll be better to do this via pm. The thing is, I agree with all the changes this mod brings, except that one So, I was wondering whether I could keep all the item changes etc, while leaving that change as it was (lol, this can get very confusing )

Anyway, I think I should probably make a public pm request here (I'm sorry if there's someplace else where this should be done) Ok, so, admins of the BWL, this is Chaplain (aka Lollorian from SHS) making a formal request to unlock my pm system, so that I may continue this (spoiler-ish) discussion with Salk via a non-spoilery channel

(lol, put in some tribal drums and chanting and you'll get a pretty scary request )

Cheers,
Lol

Hi,
Jarl made a german translation of Cursed Item Revisions.
You can download it here: http://whiteagnus.bplaced.net/filemanager/...ursed_items.rar

White Agnus

It looks like you forgot to include the posted German translation of Jarl in the new CIR version.

Greetings Leomar

Leomar,

the german translation will be included in the next version. Version 3.2 has been ready before the german translation was made available.

But I thank Jarl for his job done on this.

Chaplain,

I got your PM. I will reply to it soon. Thanks for your feedback.

All right, thanks for the information.

Hello!

I need a line translated into german and french.

@10002 = ~For compatibility reasons, it is necessary that you install Item Revisions AFTER Cursed Items Revisions! Run this installer again after having uninstalled Item Revisions~

Thanks!

[Graoumf]

Hello, here is the french one (always by Le Marquis):

@10002 = ~Pour des raisons de compatibilite, il est necessaire d'installer le mod Item Revisions APRES Cursed Items Revisions ! Executer a nouveau le programme d'installation apres avoir desinstalle Item Revisions.~

Thank you!

Can I take some more ofLe Marquis' time to ask also to translate the following lines so that I can update the french readme.txt?

- Version 3.3: Added german translation
Added compatibility check for Item Revisions

- Version 3.2: Minor changes to a couple of rings
Unequipped one of the cursed items and moved it to inventory instead

Cheers!

[Graoumf]

Sure, here it is:


- Version 3.3 : Ajout de la traduction en allemand.
Ajout d'un test de compatibilité avec le mod Item Revisions.

- Version 3.2 : Changements mineurs pour deux anneaux.
L'un des objets maudits a été déséquipé, et mis dans l'inventaire à la place.

Here is the German one:

CODE

@10002 = ~Aus Gruenden der Kompatibilitaet ist es notwendig, das Ihr "Item Revisions" NACH "Cursed Items Revision" installiert! Startet dieses Installationsprogramm erneut, nachdem Ihr "Item Revisions" deinstalliert habt.~

Version 3.3 should be uploaded soon!

[Salk]

Version 3.3 is out!

Thanks go to Baronius, as usual!

[Leomar]

Now, with the v3.3 the main component should be installed before Item Revisions:

CODE

// Main Component
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEGIN @10000
DESIGNATED 0
REQUIRE_PREDICATE GAME_IS ~bgt tutu tutu_totsc tob soa~ @10001
REQUIRE_PREDICATE NOT MOD_IS_INSTALLED ~item_rev/item_rev.tp2~ 0 @10002

There is no update of this in the readme (you find there the old informations about it).

But we have the following in the readme:

* Install Unique Artifacts BEFORE Cursed Items Revision
* Install BG1 Unfinished Business BEFORE Cursed Items Revision

And now,

* Install Item Revisions AFTER Cursed Items Revision

With that dependency we have a big problem, because Item Revisions main component must be installed BEFORE "Unique Artifacts" and BEFORE "BG1 Unfinished Business".

How should we handle your mod in an installation order?

1) Item Revisions
2) BG1 Unfinished Business
3) Unique Artifacts

?) Cursed Items Revision

Hello, Leomar!

I understand the problem here and the only solution I have is to pull the compatibility check. I will send for version 3.4 so that things will be taken back to the original state.

Sorry about that.

Sorry about that.

No problem and thanks for solving the problem.

One question, we install "Item Revisons" at two places in an installation order; the main components very early and the global changes later. Should we install "Cursed Items Revision" before or after the global changes of "Item Revisions"? What is your recommendation?

It doesn't really matter.

Since the mod overwrites item descriptions, it should be installed before things that patch those descriptions (like certain IR and Tweak Pack components).

Salk, you have a couple choices for dealing with IR's main component if you want to make the mods compatible:

1. Take into account abilities that have been changed by IR when you adjust items
2. Override IR's cursed items with yours by overwriting the .itm files instead of patching them

Deciding between the two will depend on whether or not you want your mod to behave differently when IR is installed.
