"EasyTutu" Distribution of Tutu

Remove all ads!

Hello -

Again, Baldurdash actually isn't required for EasyTutu. But, it won't hurt, and Baldurdashing is (generally speaking) a good habit, and you will want Baldurdash for when it is time to play BG2/ToB, so...

Clicky.

 

Well, I try to download EasyTutu_ToB.exe, i selected run and a window pop up "Extract EasyTutu Setup files to what location?", the destination folder was already notated "CTemp\EasyTutuSetup" so i just hit install, but i got an error message:

[Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation]

Help please, I don't know what to do!!

 

Hello -

It sounds as if you had a problem downloading EasyTutu. Throw away the EasyTutu_ToB.exe you downloaded and try getting it again. The file size should be 22318 KB (22,853,274 bytes).

 

ok, so I downloaded again but it read only 152 KB??

 

Hello -

When you click on the link, choose to save it rather than run it. Then run it from your computer once it has finished downloading.

Another way to do it is to RIGHT-CLICK the link. You should get a menu which offers a choice of saving the linked file.

 

Ok, Sorry I got it, I first got the small file (152KB) but when i download it again, it give me the big (22318 KB), and it work perfectly!!!

 

Hello -

Great! Have fun.

 

wait, back that last one up, I dont find the shortcut to play tutu!! (well I fund it, but I think I have the same problem as Brallrock, the shortcut is missing)

 

Hello -

Do you mean you cannot locate the shortcut on your Start menu? Or that you did locate it, but clicking it causes an error? If so, what is the error?

Try double-clicking BGMain.exe in your EasyTutu folder, and see what happens.

Here's another thought: did you by any chance run BG2's "BGConfig" program prior to installing EasyTutu? It has occurred to me that you and Brallrock have something in common: you both just did fresh installs of BG2. Perhaps BG2 must be "initialized" by running BGConfig and by running BG2 itself and setting your in-game options, prior to installing EasyTutu.

You could also try running the configuration program for EasyTutu by double-clicking the BGConfig.exe file in your EasyTutu folder.

 

I fix it, that shortcut that you provided with it, is actually a bitmap of the icon but not the shortcut itself, when I double click on BGMain.exe it work just fine!

At the questions, that if I run BG2's "BGConfig". Yes I did.

If anything I just created a shortcut of BGMain.exe, change the icon with the one provided and paste on the start menu.

 

Hello -

Aw, crap. I'm an idiot. I'm looking at the code now and I think I see the problem. Might I ask: did you install EasyTutu to a folder that has a SPACE anywhere in the name (e.g., CProgram Files\...)? Because the setup program is failing to delimit the path to BGMain.exe with quotations, which will more than likely cause the shortcut to be non-functional if spaces are in the path.

Please reply ASAP if you read this. I'd like to get this fixed immediately. What a dumb mistake.

Brallrock, if you're reading this, the problem may be limited to just the shortcut (that is, if your EasyTutu folder has a space anywhere).

 

No, I do not think... it shows CProgram Files\BaldursGateTutu

Is that what your asking??

 

Hello -

Yes, if you installed to CProgram Files\BaldursGateTutu, that answers my question. When a path has a space in it (in your case, the space between "Program" and "Files"), it is necessary to delimit the path with quotation marks in the shortcut.

For example:

WRONG
CProgram Files\BaldursGateTutu\BGMain.exe

RIGHT
"CProgram Files\BaldursGateTutu\BGMain.exe"

The installer isn't adding the quotes. I'll get new versions posted tonight.

 

I can't remember for sure but it does seem like there might have been a space.

I called my wife and had to her look and see, but I forgot, I uninstalled and deleted everything before I went to bed last night. I will go home and try again in the morning. Thanks for your help, I will update you after I try again in the AM.

Hello -

The new versions have been posted. If you read this before you reinstall EasyTutu, grab a new copy from the EasyTutu page before you start.

I'm sorry for the frustration this issue has caused you.

OK. I'm off to bed.

 

A little frustration is a good thing for me as long as it doesn't go on for too long. I will grab the new DL and install away. Thanks again for your help.

 

Question: I forgot to install the TutuTweak pack before starting a new game. Do I have to start over or can I just continue.


On the portrait issue: didnt try it, but I would assume the problem is still there since I didn't do anything about it. However, I just changed the portraits with SK.

 

@Mcready, it worked like a charm this time. I am now playing a my first monk ever. Thank you so much for your help.

 

@Macready: I was referring to the BG2 fixpack and the importance of not installing it after running easy tutu as reccomended in one of the posts above mine. I thought you still had to Baldurdash your BG2 install before running easy tutu. I knew you didn't need to patch BG1 but thought you still needed to patch BG2 before running the conversion. Is this not the case?

 

Hello -

@Bahir the Red:

Well, Tutu Tweak pack is not mandatory. If you do want it though, I'd probably restart after installing it. Save games are tied pretty strongly to mods. You could also ask the mod authors directly in the Tweak Packs forum over at The Gibberlings Three.

OK, fair enough.

@Brallrock:

Great! Sorry again for the mixup. It's frustrating on my end also, to have done quite a bit of work and then fumbled the ball on the one yard line (shortcut creation is pretty much the final step). Good luck with the monk, they are a bit underwhelming at BG1 levels.

@Drew:

The BG2 patch is necessary, because I need the updated BGMain.exe in order for the program which "Tutu-izes" it to work. Baldurdash is not necessary for EasyTutu, because the Baldurdash fixes are already included.

That said, Baldurdashing is never a bad idea, and the BG2 install will need it anyway for when it is time to play BG2, so I suppose I should stop picking nits.
