A. REQUIREMENTS

- A full installation of Baldur�s Gate (and Tales of the Sword Coast), and/or Baldur�s Gate II (either Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal)

- Windows 95 or newer (use of xcopy /E /L)

 

Back To Top

 

B. USAGE

1. Extract this archive to either your Baldur�s Gate (and Tales of the Sword Coast), or Baldur�s Gate II (either Shadows of Amn or Throne of Bhaal) installation directory, depending on what ruleset you would like to use to parse script and dialogue files.

2. Extract the modification that you would like to convert to <IE game installation directory>\PCU\Input.

3. Run <IE game installation directory>\Setup-PCU.exe.

4. Select the appropriate conversion type when prompted. If you choose a custom conversion, make sure a dictionary named Custom.tph is present in <IE game installation directory>\PCU\Dict.

6. Wait patiently till the conversion is complete.

7. The program automatically uninstalls without affecting the output.

8. The output files can be found in <IE game installation directory>\Output.

C. FUNCTION

The purpose of this utility is to allow batch conversion of resource names, as file and within file types, from one naming convention to another. This utility, previously known as the Tutu2BGT converter utility, first allowed the conversion of BG1Tutu naming conventions to BGT naming conventions.

 

Be wary of the efficacy of this utility. See the Limitations section for details.

 

The utility works in an iterative, step-wise manner. Details of the conversion mechanism are described below:

a.      The dictionary, containing source names and target names, is loaded depending on the subcomponent selection made by the user.

b.      Filelist.txt is generated via MakeList.bat, which runs an xcopy /E /L >> Filelist.txt command. The /L switch prevents actual copying of files, but will generate a list of files that will be saved into Filelist.txt.

c.      Filelist.txt is modified by PCU in a complex fashion to allow entire rows to be read.

d.      For each entry in Filelist.txt, PCU determines the full path, extension, file name length, and directory path, of the entry and stores them into variables

e.      If the directory path is a new directory, then that directory will be created

f.       The file is copied to the output directory, and then the file type is determined under the following parameters in the following priority:

file size is 0 bytes (ignore file)

file header is AREAV1.0 (ARE file)

file has extension "BAF" (script source file)

file header is SC\nCR\nCO (BCS file) - where \n means 'new line'

file header is CRE V1.0 (CRE file)

file has extension "D" (dialogue source file)

file header is DLG V1.0 (DLG file)

file header is EFF V2.0 (EFF file)

file header is ITM V1 (ITM file)

file header is SPL V1 (SPL file)

file header is STORV1.0 (STO file)

file has extension "TRA" (TRA file)

file has extension "TP2" or "TPH" or "TPP" (TP2 file)

file header is VVC V1.0 (VVC file)

file header is WED V1.3 (WED file)

file header is WMAPV1.0 (WMP file)

 

g.      If the file type has been successfully identified, and the file size has been verified to be valid for the identified file type, appropriate data fields in that file, or the entire textual file, undergoes a one-to-one dictionary conversion of resource names by reading the input, checking the input against a list of source names, and then converting to a target name if a source name matches the input name. The type of source name used is restricted to the type of data field, if applicable. For example, if the data field requires specification of a CRE ResRef, then the input is checked against only CRE source names.

h.      In the case of a Tutu->BGT partial dictionary conversion only, if no source-to-input match is found, the data field or the entire textual file is checked for the presence of a "_" (underscore) in the prefix, and if such a prefix is present, it is removed and hex offsets are restored.

i.        By this stage, if no change is made, the data field is simply left alone.

j.        PCU now determines whether the current file needs to be renamed. In patching of entire textual files, especially in .tp2 files, references to files are renamed. For example, COPY ~_TASIGHT.BCS~ becomes COPY ~WTASIGHT.BCS~. The actual files themselves will also need to be renamed if references have been altered in such a manner. A one-to-one dictionary conversion of file names is attempted with a mechanism similar to that described for changing ResRefs in data fields or entire textual files.

k.      In the case of a Tutu->BGT partial dictionary conversion only, renaming of files is restricted to resources with a "_" (underscore) in the prefix or is prefixed with "FW". A one-to-one dictionary conversion is attempted first. If no source-to-input match is found, a "_" (underscore) in the prefix is simply removed.

l.        If the file type has not been detected and the file has not been renamed, then the file is ignored, but still copied into output.

m.    At the end of the installation, statistics are displayed on the number and types of files processed, number of files ignored, and number of files renamed.

n.      On exit, Rename.bat is executed. If a file has been renamed, the original file is copied into <IE game installation the directory>\PCU\Output\Renamed directory. Renamed.txt, found in the same directory, lists the full paths of files renamed.

D. CAPABILITIES

The types of conversions possible are limited by the availability of a dictionary. Dictionaries are found as .tph files in <IE game installation directory>\PCU\Dict. Currently, the following dictionaries are available:

1. Tutu->BGT (partial dictionary) � all conversions involving simple removal of a "_" (underscore) do not appear in the dictionary

2. Tutu->BGT (full dictionary) � all conversions appear in the dictionary

3. BG->BGT

4. BG->Tutu

5. BGT->BG

6. BGT->Tutu

7. Custom � make your own dictionary. A template is provided as CustomTemplate.tph. To use the custom dictionary, make sure the dictionary is named Custom.tph.

 

Dictionaries currently define source and target names for:

1. ARE/MOS/WED/height table BMP/light map BMP/search region BMP

2. Door names

3. Entrance names

4. BAM

5. BCS

6. BMP

7. CRE

8. Death variables

9. DLG

10.  ITM

11.  MOS

12.  MVE

13.  SPL

14.  STO

15. TIS/TIZ

16.  WAV

E. LIMITATIONS

Although PCU has the capacity to make tedious resource name conversions, thereby saving a lot of time, there are many things that cannot be batch converted in such a way. This utility relies heavily on textual replacements, and thus it is highly likely that plain non-reference text is erroneously converted. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the output from PCU be checked and tested thoroughly to ensure that errors in the conversion process are corrected.

 

In terms of the actual conversion process, PCU has the following limitations:

1.      All. PCU cannot convert file types of versions not used in the Baldur�s Gate series (e.g. IWD2 files are not supported)

2.      2DA/IDS. PCU cannot patch 2DA or IDS files

3.      BAF/D/TP2/TPH/TPP. PCU cannot convert BAF, D, TP2, TPH, or TPP code if the file extension is not one of these

4.      Batch files. PCU cannot convert references within BAT files

5.      D. PCU cannot convert the exitFilename field within the CHAIN2 command

6.      TP2/TPH/TPP. PCU cannot maintain file type specificity when converting type-less patches (e.g. a script change from MINSC->BGMINSC will occur even if MINSC was referenced as a .CRE; however, MINSC.CRE remains MINSC.CRE)

7.      TP2/TPH/TPP. When using the BGT->Tutu or BG->Tutu dictionaries, conversion of BELT->_BELT will cross-convert the ADD/REPLACE_CRE_ITEM function when the item slot specified is ~BELT~
