My unofficial patch version 1.1 is ready

[Yitzi]

I just submitted it to be added to the Downloads; as soon as someone gets to approving it, it'll be available.

[Buster's Uncle]

Done.  Thak you for this, sir.

[Pickly]

Which download section is it in?  (Am interested in seeing what is in it, doesn't seem to be listed in the mods section of downloads.

So any feedback guys?

Great work Yitzi. I'll try this out later today or tomorrow.

I installed Yitzi's patch. Haven't experimented with any alphax.txt modifications yet. I noticed one minor anomaly that is attributable to having installed GOG-SMAX. GOG disables Alt-Tab whenever you run terranx.exe, even if the exe file isn't theirs (and even if terranx.exe isn't in the GOG folder). I found that by renaming Yitzi's exe file to something such as terranx_Yitzi.exe, then the ability to Alt-Tab returns. Before recommending this option, I wonder if Yitzi can comment whether renaming his terranx.exe will cause any problems.

It will not cause any problems other than those caused by Kyrub's version (which, from what I can tell, is only that it messes up shortcuts/autorun/etc.)

Might I ask what changes did you made to script.txt?

I made it say that the maximum number of landmarks is 56 instead of 64.

I'm having a problem with the patch on my laptop. On my desktop, running LE, the new patch runs fine. On the laptop, the program freezes on load. Didn't happen with only Scient's patch installed.

I will also say that I can't play Baldur's Gate full screen (works fine in a window) on my laptop or that will also freeze...

1. What happens with Kyrub's patch?

2. At what point does it freeze?  Before or after the movie?

3. When running Scient's patch on your laptop, what percentage of memory does it use?  My patch shouldn't use more than a few dozen bytes extra of memory at loadup, but I can't think what else it would be.

1. I haven't tried Kyrub's on its own yet.

2. Before the movie!

3.  50% CPU. 32,768 K memory.

Let me know what happens with Kyrub's.  If Kyrub's does not pose an issue, then I may need you to download a debugger so you can get more information.

Also, how much memory does your computer have free after using that 32,768?

[Kilkakon]

Kyrub's patch has the same issue. The computer has a ton of memory, it's only like 6 months old.

If Kyrub's patch has the same issue, then it's something from what Kyrub did, not what I did, so I can't help you.
