Announcing Game Over Only on Party Dead, A MiniMod for BG2, (Easy)TuTu and BGT Options

[Salk]

Salk, you could go further and add the feature of replacing the protagonist with any NPC from the party. This is my old code which I sometimes used in the cutscenes.

Interesting. Still, I am reluctant to deviate from the path I set because I'd like the protagonist to be always identifiable with CHARNAME.

I have had one problem that I'm tring to sort through. Has anyone had a problem of this mod causing a crash to desktop when the party dies & if so has anyone been able to correct it? Cheers.

[Salk]

Hello wigzynz!

It's the first time such a report ever appeared. Would you add your WeiDu log, please?

Hello. I love the idea of this mod. Howeber it many times dont work allrigth.

When my party dies often the game crash and a message apear: An assertion failed at ChVideo.cpp in line number 7166.

In the Irenicus dungeon all my party died and Imoen run to the ground but the dead video or the message of failure didnt appear: Nothing happened. The character lies in the ground whit the company of many enemys seeing his agony. xD

Other times, when the protagonist is "dying"... I mean fainting, and an enemy is passing near him he attacks the enemy (if his ia script is activated) interrupting his falling to the ground, but since he is in that state of "character incontrollable" whit that blue square in his portrait, he stop the attack and stays in that way of "waiting for the battle to stop" but incorporated. This also happen whe the character is confused. He stays incorporated.

I think the animation of the protagonist falling has to be ininterruptable, but I dont know if this is possible.

If I see more failures I'll report here, I think. The lack of readme of the mod is strange too. But many thaks for this mod, I think it's awesome already.

Salu2.

[Salk]

Thanks for your feedback.

I contacted the coder asking him to take a look at those issues and see if there is something that can be done on our part.

I have face another bug: when fighting Centeol (fat spider-queen), my main character died, when i get to the point that Centeol initiate her dialog, she move directly to my party. And because of that, I was able to search her 2 times and get all items twice, including Cerlak body:

Thanks for reporting this bug.

The mod's coder is and has been extremely busy and could not help me in tracking the one before this too but I will see if he can spare some time to help me fix these issues for the next version.

Piqueri,

have you enabled 3D acceleration? It seems that having it off causes that kind of crash.

In the Irenicus dungeon all my party died and Imoen run to the ground but the dead video or the message of failure didnt appear: Nothing happened. The character lies in the ground whit the company of many enemys seeing his agony. xD

There might be a fix for this coming soonish.

Does it work with BGEE?

[Salk]

Sorry for the late reply, Itomon.

At the moment, the mod is not compatible with BG:EE or BG2:EE. The coder is busy with other projects but I believe this mod will be eventually made compatible. No ETA though.

[Salk]

There will be soon a new version of this mod with quite a number of corrections/improvements.

[Salk]

Hello to whoever may pass by.

Contrary to what I hoped, this modification no longer can count on the support of the original coder.

I have tried to fix a number of small problems I encountered myself when testing but I did not have the necessary time and motivation to port this modification to the EE engine (to some people's joy).

I am going to upload a new version (1.7) that includes those changes, hoping it'll still be a marginal improvement.

I will do it once I get a few people to help with the translations (french, russian, german and spanish).

Cheers!

I fixed baf scripts so the mod can work properly for 10pp mod for GemRB. 10pp mod lets you have 10 NPCs in your party instead of standard 6.
The mod still worked for GemRB but your game would end whenever 5 NPCs would die even if you had more than 6 NPCs the game would end.

These scripts shouldn't be used when running BG on vanilla engine or EE. There is no point of having them when installing as they might break something since vanilla engine only supports 6 objects.

I attached fixed scripts for 10pp mod for GemRB and upload them to github as well as backup in case of site outrages.

Hello!

This modification was made for a game that doesn't tweak the number of available slots for party members. At that time, playing with more than 6 party members was not possible. Nice to see it still works fine with 7+ party members with little adjustments.

Cheers!

Game Over Only On Party Dead is updated to version 1.8.

Change log:

- Fixed issue with the modification not installing correctly on Baldur's Gate 2
- Added two important compatibility warnings in the Read Me file

Hi Salk,

Is there any hope to get your little gem one day compatible with EE ?

[zelazko]

What's inside the EE that makes this mod incompatible? Or is it just that this mod was never tested on any EE games?

[Salk]

Hello!

Sorry about the delay of my answers.

DrAzTiK,

I wish I could tell you that you'll be able to play Game Over Only on Party Dead on EE sometimes soon, but it'd be a lie. For one thing, the EE comes with its own "story mode" (from what I understand) and I think there is some modder that was trying (or possibly already succeeded) to do what my modification does, more or less. On top of that, I've no interest in porting my mods to the EE. I only play the classic version via BGT and I've not even played that for over 10 years. Sorry.

zelazko,

I don't think there is any technical problem in porting my mod to the EE engine at all. It's just a matter of convenience.
