Title: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 06, 21:01:04 ETA3--IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: If you choose to run the hackdiff tool against your installed mods, please only use that information to report unsupported mods that need updating (by creators who are no longer around) or to check and see whether active modders have already updated their stuff. Please do not pester Pescado, Syberspunk, TwoJeffs, Dizzy, Jordi, jfade, Inge, Jase, Eric, Paladin, Numenor, Monique or anybody else who is still modding in the Sims community with diff reports. They already have the information, or will get it for themselves in their own good time, and will likely find the spam highly annoying.
--- Well, it seems like this time around we've got several popular modders gone MIA and leaving a bunch of stuff behind that really would be a shame to lose. I thought maybe it'd be good to have one thread where anybody who's updating them, or knows where they're being updated, can report the fact. So, is anybody updating hacks by the following creators (or others that are known to have left the building) for Bon Voyage? If so, please reply with a link! (I'll add any others to this list if applicable.) Squinge Crammyboy <-- Assumed dead until proven alive. Atavera (the Custom Instrument Hack particularly) Christianlov Lizzlove ETA: Anybody who has been brave enough to try a hack by one of the above creators that was tagged as broken by HackDiff in BV, please report your findings back here; sometimes such a mod will continue to work just fine (particularly if all that comes up is "Name Unsupported,") or will work but will disable some new EP feature that we can choose whether to do without. Modders who have kindly offered to update: Would it be at all helpful if I compiled a list of which specific borked hacks have had requests? ETA 2: If you would like to check your own collection of hacks for possible updates needed, you will need three things: 1. At least a basic understanding of how to use a command line; 2. Pescado's hackdiff utility, located here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,3247.0.html); 3. The diff report for Bon Voyage, located here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9517.0.html). (Please note that this is the diff from Seasons w/patch 2 to Bon Voyage. If you don't have Seasons, or if it's unpatched, you will need to run your own check. Instructions are in the RTFM.) ETA 4: I've tried to compile a list of abandoned mods that have been checked for compatibility to date, so please look here before posting: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9533.msg263189.html#msg263189 (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9533.msg263189.html#msg263189) Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Emma on 2007 September 06, 21:37:52 Is Crammyboy definitely gone now then?
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 06, 22:07:44 Is Crammyboy definitely gone now then? Well, his last post was July 18. I don't think he's made a formal announcement, but Pes has discounted his hacks to half-off. I'm proceeding on the assumption that he's gone unless he appears to say otherwise. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Marhis on 2007 September 06, 22:43:48 As soon as I can put my hands on BV objects.package, I'll try to check compatibility/update for Squinge's mods (at least the simpler ones). Jordi also said that he will.

Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 06, 22:51:41 As soon as I can put my hands on BV objects.package, I'll try to check compatibility/update for Squinge's mods (at least the simpler ones). Jordi also said that he will. Awesome, thank you! I've got a fair number of his mods (mostly simpler stuff) and a lot of them scanned clean, but several do need possible updates. ETA: the diff scan for BV is already up, I think in Bowels of Trogdor or the Armory... Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: jrd on 2007 September 06, 23:26:27 I fully plan to do some fixes for Squinge mods, wherever needed. But at the moment I haven't even installed BV yet ;)
Same for my own mods obviously. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: flameflash on 2007 September 06, 23:38:08 I fully plan to do some fixes for Squinge mods, wherever needed. But at the moment I haven't even installed BV yet ;) Same for my own mods obviously. Thank you thank you thank you! I've already removed all of Squinge's mods related to community lots due to my fears of them not working in BV. Please let me know if you need a beta tester for Squinge's mods, either of you, as he was one of the ones I depended on and has since disappeared. Any good list of alternative mods for some of these fine creators as well? (Am going to have to start coming here more often now...) ;D Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Sleepycat on 2007 September 06, 23:40:13 I'm wondering about hacks by christianlov
I'd be very thankful if someone could check Christianlov_GlobalHackEp4_PetBirthWantSatisfy Christianlov_GlobalHackEp4_PetFoodNoDecreaseDirty Christianlov_LearnBehaviorCommandTool Christianlov_PetCollarAtHome Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

Thank you so much! I could live without PetFoodNoDecreaseDirty if it turns out not to work but when I do finally allow some of my sims to have pets again, I must have the LB command tool to get all the furballs trained ASAP ;) Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: jsalemi on 2007 September 07, 02:01:44 Ancienthighway checked a bunch of those hacks and has a compatibility list over on Inteen: http://box156.bluehost.com/~aestudi1/forums/inteenimater/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=362&p=1539#p1539
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: flameflash on 2007 September 07, 02:25:07 Stupid question:
How is hack EP compatibility checked? I'd like to run all of the ones I have installed through. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Hecubus on 2007 September 07, 02:50:19 I'd be interested helping to test any updates to Crammyboy's community time thing...I love it and would hate to lose it. However, i'm not a hacker, so I'm only good for testing.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Orikes on 2007 September 07, 03:27:12 The only crammyboy ones I use are the easelfix and the outdoorbathfix. I'm curious if either of those are safe to keep using.
As for Squinge, the only one I'm especially concerned with is the Preg-Wear-All hack. I can live without it, but I've gotten used to not having to look at Maxis default maternity wear. I also use his Hula & More, but I'm doubting that'll have any problems. It just won't include any new animations. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

How about the all-in-one npc and custom skintone? Don't think I'd want to live without those two LOL Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ethendrelle on 2007 September 07, 04:25:36 How is hack EP compatibility checked? I'd like to run all of the ones I have installed through. Download the hackdiff utility posted in The Bowels of Trogdor (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,3247.0.html). The actual diffs are also posted in TBoT; you can browse the threads to find the particular diff(s) you need. twojeffs posted the Seasons Patch 2 -> BV diff here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,9517.0.html). Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: dizzy on 2007 September 07, 07:06:12 Something to keep in mind when you look at Pescado's diff is that it doesn't really tell you the whole story. For example:
Code: B ! 0x7F4437F2 0x20B9 CT - Bed - Relax - Read - Stop Indicates some change, but this is what a real diff would tell you: Code: *************** # Group = 0x7F4437F2, Instance = 0x20B9 In other words, in this case, a few bits of the header changed and nothing else. (They updated a ton of headers, by the way.) Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2007 September 07, 07:45:09 Well, a more complex diff would have run the risk of being unreliable. I was working under the assumption that the DBPF format itself was unlikely to change, but that if I attempted a more in-depth scan of BHAVs to locate specific differences, the program would likely crash when it was unable to read the 800A format BHAVs. Thus, operates data-agnostically and performs a simple md5 comparison, flagging anything that for you to review, rather than exploding in a big fiery ball visible from space when it tries to read something that it might not be able to understand. It's like dealing with the Outer Gods: Don't look too closely, or you'll go insane.

I've come to rely on Hula & More as a major storytelling device and I do hope someone might be willing to continue onward in adding new animations to the old ones. Please? Firstborn male child..? Aright, how about a slightly tarnished soul? Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: kuronue on 2007 September 07, 13:51:11 I've been meaning to see if I can't add weather reactions to one or another of my movie hacks, since I need them for a movie I'm making... never managed to complete a hack on my own, but it seems simple enough, so I'll try with Hula and if I manage it, I'll share ^^

I'm curious if either of those are safe to keep using. PregWearAll seems to be working, but I'm not sure that it will with the new outfits. Anyways, I had a pregnant sim run through all stages and she kept to normal clothes except right when she popped...which is what's always happened with me.As for Squinge, the only one I'm especially concerned with is the Preg-Wear-All hack.

Although I'd also adore it if someone would PLEASE update his adult-enabled dollhouse, which never even made it to Seasons status. ;_; Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Loncaros on 2007 September 07, 19:00:02 Atavera's guitars are broken? Nooooo my Stratocaster !! =(
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 07, 19:07:39 Atavera's guitars are broken? Nooooo my Stratocaster !! =( If I understand correctly, individual custom instruments will still work, but without a functioning Custom Instrument Hack they can't be used to join in with other instruments. Also note that not everything that gets flagged by Hackdiff actually stops working, so if anybody wants to try out "may need updating" hacks by these creators in BV and report back here, that'd be swell. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Wolf on 2007 September 07, 19:55:05 Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who are working on or plan to work on updating/figuring out what's borked/replacing with new hacks from those Modders who've disappeared/taken their toys and went home.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Orikes on 2007 September 07, 20:01:46 I've come to rely on Hula & More as a major storytelling device and I do hope someone might be willing to continue onward in adding new animations to the old ones. Please? Firstborn male child..? Aright, how about a slightly tarnished soul? I'll be keeping an eye on Decorgal and Aikea. Both of them have some pretty solid animation hacks, though they're not quite as easy to use as Hula & More. Decorgal has the talk paintings, which are very well laid out, but the animations don't loop, so they get tricky to coordinate shots for. The Aikea paintings are a little haphazardly laid out, but they offer more animations than Hula & More. I was able to use their punching bag animations for a fight scene in my latest update, WITHOUT dealing with the automatic change into gym clothes. Still...I hope someone picks up the torch for Hula & More and runs with it. :) Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Wolf on 2007 September 07, 20:20:00 Aikea just got back from Dragon*Con and just uploaded BV a day or so ago. She's been playing around with it(posted a few screenshots in her LiveJournal), so I imagine she's working on updating her stuff relatively soon.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: MissDoh on 2007 September 07, 20:56:15 I put all of Squinge mods I had in a folder (which is about 175 of them), no I am not using them all but thought it could be useful to some if I would run the hack diff on all I have. Of course, there are many alternate version in there and you have to remember it is based on the one I have which are not necessarely the same version you are using.
I posted it elsewhere but here it is for you guys too. Enjoy! Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 07, 21:11:20 Thanks MissDoh!
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: MissDoh on 2007 September 07, 23:42:36 You are very welcome, hope it can make it easy for some to decide if they can or will or not update some of them.
If you know some do not need update among that list, it would be really nice if you could post about it. If you need the original file, all of them (and more) should be found at the sims2graveyard but you can also pm me if you prefer if you want more info about what it does. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: dizzy on 2007 September 08, 00:36:22 The following have merely had header updates (and do not need to change):

Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: MissDoh on 2007 September 08, 01:04:28 Dizzy thank you very much for taking the time to check it. Any LTW is one I was hoping would not need update.
I knew I was right posting this here. ;D Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: LoveStainedHeart on 2007 September 08, 01:09:40 Thanks MissDoh for posting the hack diff but 3 mods that I'm really worried about weren't in your list. So if someone could please please please check them for me I'd be very grateful. I'd check them myself but I don't actually have a copy of BV in my possession. I'll upload them in case no one else has a copy themselves. I have a feeling, since these are ones I really want, they will be incompatible...

Tested it out with Brandi Broke, so she is useful for something. ;) Those meshes are awsome. I stopped using Squinge's hack when he stopped making it compatable with inteen. If you use those meshes and the wardrobe mode from insim, it works pretty much the same way - except you need to change back into "everday" each trimester. Of course, insim needs to be updated too, now.Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

I can scan indiv files by running hackdiff -i SEAp2-BVdiff.txt -f whateverhack.package but whenever I try to put in the directory for my hacks folder, I get an error message. Life preserver, someone? 1. Copy hackdiff.exe and SEAp2-BVdiff.txt to whichever Downloads subfolder has your hacks and mods (I recommend not scanning ALL your CC; it takes forever if you have a lot, and it choked the tool when I tried it.) 2. Open a command line window there. 3. Type in at the prompt (don't copy and paste) the following command and hit Enter: dir/s/b *.package > hacks.txt (This will create a file called hacks.txt with a listing of all the .package files in your hack directory and any subdirectories it may have.) 4. Now type in the following: hackdiff -i SEAp2-BVdiff.txt -l hacks.txt > report.txt (This will cause the tool to check each hack in the report you just created against the diff report to see if contains code that has changed, and save the results to a file called report.txt.) 5. Remove hackdiff.exe and SEAp2-BVdiff.txt from your hack directory to a secure storage location to keep things tidy, close the command window, and open report.txt in Notepad or your word processor of choice to see which of your hacks are borked. (Optionally, I find it makes things much easier if I use Edit/Find And Replace to change the first part of the directory paths in report.txt to a blank space. i.e.: Find: C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/MyDocuments/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads/ (or whatever your specific Downloads path is) Replace with: [one blank space] Then hit "Replace All" and you'll then have just the specific paths and files left. For instance, Hacks/Squinge/randomalienpregnancy.package instead of C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/MyDocuments/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads/Hacks/Squinge/randomalienpregnancy.package.)

I wouldn't worry about Pescado's or TJ's hacks, though; of all the modders, they're usually the most on top of things and I know they've both been busy updating since the day BV became available. jfade, Syberspunk, Inge, Eric and Jase will also be updating as quickly as they can.

Tested it out with Brandi Broke, so she is useful for something. ;) Those meshes are awsome. I stopped using Squinge's hack when he stopped making it compatable with inteen. If you use those meshes and the wardrobe mode from insim, it works pretty much the same way - except you need to change back into "everday" each trimester. Of course, insim needs to be updated too, now.Jordi has an inteenimated version of the Squinge pregwearanyoutfit mod in his section (http://box156.bluehost.com/~aestudi1/forums/inteenimater/viewforum.php?f=15) on the inteen forum. Obviously the kitten killer is not BV compatible yet, but once it's updated I imagine that Jordi will update as well. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

I still plan on fiddling with it some more because I really would like to learn it for future use. In the mean time, does anyone know if any of these hacks work with BV.

All of Tj's and Pescados hacks are the latest version. Oh btw for Vista users-to open a command line you need to shift and right-click. Took me ages to work it out. :P That hack report is going to be very useful. Many thanks. With that and the instructions on how to run this program, after ancient's advise on putting all my hacks in one place, I think I may finally be able to narrow down my problem.

Anyone having trouble pulling up the hackdiff utility? It just flashes when I click on it. I'm not sure if it's messed up or if I'm doing something wrong.

Anyone having trouble pulling up the hackdiff utility? It just flashes when I click on it. I'm not sure if it's messed up or if I'm doing something wrong. Hackdiff is not a Windows utility. Mousy-clicking it won't do diddly. You need to invoke it from the command prompt like a DOS command. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: GrayDragonfly on 2007 September 08, 22:08:06 Well, I did try it like that first. I used the instructions that you gave earlier in this thread and this is what I got: 'hackdiff' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I'm not that familiar with this stuff but I was hoping to learn it. I can't seem to find any sort of walkthrough. It's either you know it or you don't. So I guess I'll just wait around and see what other people come up with on these hacks.
Thanks for all the help though! Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 08, 22:25:53 Well, I did try it like that first. I used the instructions that you gave earlier in this thread and this is what I got: 'hackdiff' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. That usually means you're trying to execute the command from the wrong directory (folder.) Your command line has to show the path of the same folder that hackdiff.exe is in in order for it to work. Like so: (image removed) If you're in the wrong directory, you can get to the right one by typing: cd [full path of the desired directory] For example: cd C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/MyDocuments/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads/Hacks And as an aside...

2) Most hacked objects (as opposed to global mods) will still work with new EPs. The exceptions are things that will obviously use features of the new EP, such as Monique's computers, but for hacked objects that are specific to a certain EP (such as Pets-related objects), it is generally safe to use those even after installing a new EP.

Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Strangel on 2007 September 09, 04:11:37 I've come to rely on Hula & More as a major storytelling device and I do hope someone might be willing to continue onward in adding new animations to the old ones. Please? Firstborn male child..? Aright, how about a slightly tarnished soul? I'll be keeping an eye on Decorgal and Aikea. Both of them have some pretty solid animation hacks, though they're not quite as easy to use as Hula & More. Decorgal has the talk paintings, which are very well laid out, but the animations don't loop, so they get tricky to coordinate shots for. The Aikea paintings are a little haphazardly laid out, but they offer more animations than Hula & More. I was able to use their punching bag animations for a fight scene in my latest update, WITHOUT dealing with the automatic change into gym clothes. Still...I hope someone picks up the torch for Hula & More and runs with it. :) -gets all squishy with Teh Fellow Boolian- I do have installed some paintings and boxes for movie/story editing animations, but they're terribly confusing to me. If I could have my druthers ALL of the various animations and Overlays would be part of Hula & More and be easily broken down (i.e. the Sub-sub-sub menus Hula has/had so's you had a good idea which section you should click to find the animation you want. That said, the talk overlay setup spouted some hysterical pictures while Silly (not Big nor Brynne) was posing her sim family for the BP Calendar Comp. She asked me for some posing help and I fumbled around with the talk & overlay items.. Thing is, the Talk icon dropped from the cue so I had no idea the sim was still showing "talk" animations when I had her Pose.

I've got a little more information about that now. "Name Unsupported" means a string (plain text) which more often than not has to do with programmer comments, changes having to do with foreign language support, or other noncritical stuff. But it CAN cause problems in some cases. Here's what Pescado has to say about it in chat (edited slightly for clarity): "I look at the instance numbers for those. [AD: That would be the 0x[whatever number] right before the "name unsupported."] 0x12F, 0x130, if that shows up, bad. 12F is the RTBN list, 130 is the LUA list..So if THOSE change, likely lines were added. 0x12D, or Pie Menu Strings, probably ignore for now. Pie menu strings, you won't get any SERIOUS errors even if something did change...And the errors will be immediately apparent when you click on the affected object in-game. Otherwise, it is probably not of any substantive interest that support for Swahili was added in the new strings." So, if you want to further check your "name unsupported" hacks, go through the report with your word processor's Find function and look for 12F and 130 in the instance numbers (and 12D if you want to be extra vigilant.)

Don't think I'd want to live without those two LOL I have all-in-one and I noticed that when I was on vacation if I ordered room service they would say they where going to bring it but the desk clerk would pull it out from under the counter and then it would just dissappear and never get to my room. I took out the all-in-one and the insimenator and the problem was solved but I'm not sure which one it was, I'm assuming the all in one because of the food relation. Oh yuck....

I was trying to find the culpret, and all-in-one was my first choice to remove,and it didn't fix it-- I then removed every hack one by one till the last hack standing didn't make any sence that it was the bad one--so I ran it CC free and it still didn't work. I had to go to another unplayed neighborhood to confirm that all-in-one was the hack that I was looking for. That is pretty risking to allow a function to be broken--especially if you put a lot of time into your neighborhood . Who knows what else it might be doing.

I'm not sure what Maxis was thinking of to make Asians that looked Scandinavian in the first place. Make new plants, objects, and wallpaper for local color, but make the people look American? What drugs are they on? Anyway, ranting aside, the locals can be found under "sims. Well, that's good at least. Thanks for the heads up, I'd have never found them there... I almost never use that hack for playables. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 September 12, 08:29:33 As for the all-in-one not working with room service, it's worse than not working, it actually breaks it. I was trying to find the culpret, and all-in-one was my first choice to remove,and it didn't fix it-- I then removed every hack one by one till the last hack standing didn't make any sence that it was the bad one--so I ran it CC free and it still didn't work. I had to go to another unplayed neighborhood to confirm that all-in-one was the hack that I was looking for. That is pretty risking to allow a function to be broken--especially if you put a lot of time into your neighborhood . Who knows what else it might be doing. Ugh that sucks... don't want to deal with useless maids. Hopefully someone will fix it or create something like it. btw, how good is that DMA package? Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: sloppyhousewife on 2007 September 12, 08:40:57 btw, how good is that DMA package? From what I've seen, they're as useless as employees without BRY, if not worse. I really like the DMA sets, but the service NPCs just didn't do their job or only frequently. Okay, maybe they got improved with Seasons - I had the pre-Seasons version and was so dissatisfied that I never tried them again. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 September 12, 09:15:14 Hmmm... are there any other useful useable options then? I tried the "move a bulter in and make him unselectable" but it was rather pathetic.

FYI. It is probably a bad idea to use hacks that report as requiring an update, but appear to still work without any object errors. The reason is... something might have changed drastically, but might still work if the older version still has valid code.

However, even though it appears like the hack might be ok, because you don't get any object errors, this can be misleading. There could be code changes that is supposed to handle new stuff that was added, but now will be totally ignored because you are essentially running older versioned code. Even something as 'simple' as a change in a TTAB/TTAs (Pie Menu and/or Pie Menu Strings) can cause problems. For example, new options might have been added, but since you are running older code, those options won't show up. So, unless you have a modder that actually verifies that whatever changes occurred do not actually matter, I would recommend that you not use older hacks that reported to require updating by the paladintool. Ste Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: notveryawesome on 2007 September 12, 16:54:13 I think Pescado's customer selector has an option to allow YAs, so you don't necessarily need Squinge's mod. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: jsalemi on 2007 September 12, 17:31:16 No, you're right -- the customer selector gives control over a whole bunch of sim states, including age. However, it only works on owned lots. I don't know if Squinge's was for only owned lots, or if it let YAs visit any comm lot in the main hoods.

[/quote] Don't get me started on DMA nannies--I hired one and she showed up--told a couple of jokes--then she left the property and the kids would of gotten taken away but I quit without saving. The maid also went around socializing and I don't even know if she ever cleaned anything. I couldn't sleep last night, and I was thinking about the all-in-one--the bellhop produced the food without a prob it was the next command that produced the reset(going through the door). I did a hack report but only on the loose files-everything that was loose came back clean except the door patch that was made for Pets. I am loathe to empty out that file since I can't replace it if it gets screwed up but I'll check all the files--maybe it will work if someone fixes the door patch--not that that would be easy since everyone is bogged down fixing their own hacks. Edit: I ran a hackdiff on my whole folder and the only thing that wasn't clean was the jaxad Door Globals Hack. The other Christianlov hacks that came back clean were: Pet transporter--Baby Pet Creator--No Flying Bird--Nursery Fridge Cheap--Pet Collar at home--and the Sim Boutique Clothing rack. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 September 13, 06:47:32 Hmmm I'll skip dma then.

Quote *Emma reluctantly takes out the Squinge pregnancy outfit hack and cries :'( ugh, you and me both Emma! i hope someone will come up with a new hack to replace that one; i think a lot of people can't stand the regular maxis maternity wear and don't want to bother with extra meshes needed to cute up the pregnant sims. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 13, 21:54:25 Okay. The thread has gotten fairly long and drifted off-topic in places, so I went through and compiled as much information on what has and hasn't been checked as I could (also included some info from the hackdiff results on my own collection.)
If it's listed under "Clean/Works," that means it's been hackdiffed by someone and come up clean or with only "name unsupported" in a non-critical instance, OR that some experienced modder has already reported it safe. If it's under "May need updates," it's been hackdiffed and/or had a possible bug reported and, well, may need updates. If it's under "Needs updating," it's definitely broken. A few mods may be on more than one list; these work in some capacity, but will require updates for BV-specific functions (explanations are included.) I make no guarantees as to accuracy, especially where Squinge's mods are concerned--we've got conflicting hackdiff reports from different people, probably indicating they had different versions installed and didn't say which--but I tried to err on the side of caution, so most of those marked Clean/Works should be okay. Caveat emptor, always back everything up! And feel free to post more information or a correction if you see I got one wrong.

Post by: MissDoh on 2007 September 16, 23:32:17 Since I could not stand seeing my sims jumping on the piano every free second they add, I put back Squinge's noautonomousinstruments back in the game. I did not notice any problem other than it does not work with the new grand piano that has been added in BV.
I also put back Squinge's noautonomousdishes in since I got tired of seeing my sims cleaning up dirty plates on community lot. I did not try vacation lot yet but I am expecting it will not work there but still will on downtown and business community lots. Will keep you inform. ETA: noautonomouscomputer does work as long as the computer is closed. If you leave it open then sims can go to it to chat autonomously. If closed I have not seen any try that on their own. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 September 17, 03:42:42 There have been many reports about the room service not working. The bell hop pulls out the food from under the desk and it vanishes into thin air. I have this problem too. It seems to work maybe the first time you arrive in a hotel but then stop working after that. I have used All In One in the past, but I took it out before I installed BV. Room service worked fine at first and now does not and I do not have All in One in my folder. So I am not convinced that All in One is the culprit here. On other boards, that is a lot of discussion about this and I do not believe all of those posters use All in One. I'm having this problem, although it's intermittent (and I can't seem to nail down the exact steps to recreate it each time).

Post by: Ambular on 2007 September 17, 06:44:30 I'm pretty sure I followed all your instructions to run the tool. I made sure I changed the directory, I typed everything in exactly (at first I typed it wrong because I thought the 1 was an I or lowercase L) but the report came back blank. It created the txt docs and the first listed everything correctly but the report was blank. I redownloaded the file TwoJeffs provided just in case. To make sure I had the instuctions correct, I copied and pasted them onto a wordpad doc then typed everything in exactly. I tried it over and over again with the same results. I am so very much non-awesome. :( Actually, that is a lowercase L. Are you certain you got the spacing right, also? It should go like so: hackdiff -i SEAp2-BVdiff.txt -l hacks.txt > report.txt hackdiff [space] [dash][lowercase I] [space] SEAp2-BVdiff.txt [space] [dash][lowercase L] [space] hacks.txt [space] [right arrow] [space] report.txt And you're certain that the hackdiff utility, SEAp2-BVdiff.txt, and hacks.txt are all in the same directory? If you got a valid hacks.txt from the first command, then this should work. /me puzzles. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

If it helps, I've been using the old version over the weekend, just to see what would happen. As far as I can tell, the CBOY_nudist.package and associated mod work in all base, uni, comm, and BV lots. It does not seem to cause loss of BV interactions and no errors have been logged in my game so far. I'm keeping it in for now, pending further tests (i.e. sauna woohoo). Caveat: Have not tested for hammock or sauna woohoo, but for bed and hot tub woohoo, it seems to work as per spec. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

No custom content or hacks. I wanted to see what bugs I'd notice before I played with all the custom stuff. Saying all that, I think the issue with the food disappearing is a bug because I had it happen with a clean game twice. I also had it happen after I put all my CC back in. I read about this problem in another forum also. I think what bugs me more is when they continually go order food even if they're full. I hope someone makes a fix for that soon.

Have requested it at InSim but no one has replied to it, okay it has only been 4 days. Have tried the hackdiff, just not as awesome as you all I guess or maybe it doesn't like Vista, couldn't figure it out. Do have the hack, because I am the one that requested it from Squinge.

I took out all of the clothes/meshes I downloaded since BV but I was still getting the problem. Then I took Motoki's mods out and all was well.

Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: pioupiou on 2007 September 26, 18:52:04 Blackwiddow, first thank you very much for updating the nudist mod for BV.
I have a question (maybe a bug in the hack ?) : I'd like you to look into the "aske to get naked" part of the mod. I never took the time to report the problem I'm having when Crammyboy was still around, I know it's a bit late, and it is not your hack... In my game, as long as I can remember the "ask to get naked" social seems to only work if the sim is set to always naked. If it is set on "depending on score" the sim always refuse to get naked, even if his score is way beyond the limit. Is there a bug somewhere in the code, or is there some more requirement for acceptance that I'm not aware of ? Thanks in advance, Pioupiou. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

If it is set on "depending on score" the sim always refuse to get naked, even if his score is way beyond the limit. This may depend on some situational thing. I've never set my sims on "always get naked", but let the naked index number dictate. I have had the "ask to get naked" interaction available for a number of sims. Generally it seems to have to be when they want to be naked (haven't figured that out yet, but some of my sims seem to want to be naked at times and don't at other times. They only seem to get the "ask to get naked" option when they feel 'inclined' themselves). Or is this all in my imagination? Anyhow, the option is there sometimes even if you don't set to "always get naked" in my game. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

Well, it's not really a hack/mod, in that it doesn't make global changes to the game; that's where real incompatibilities show up. It's a hacked/moded object that makes specific changes to a particular sim. So long as a new EP/SP doesn't introduce an object with the same GUID, such objects are usually fine in later EPs. I have a couple of Squinge's hacked objects, and they're all still working ok in BV. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Metalkatt on 2007 September 29, 19:47:37 Update: It is the Preg and Servo Change Appearance Pack. This is what caused the problem about which the FoJ blew me off in OYBI. Heh, well, we must remember that all these hacks are in fact non-awesome and will only continue to get more so as new EP's come out. Thanks for the info. :) Oh, I'm not really pissed or anything, Amber. Just a small nose-thumbing at the Irksome One. I'm going through and checking out a bunch of modded objects along with the mods themselves, so if anything else (aside from the damn clothingtool) freaks out, I'll make mention of it. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: nataku on 2007 October 01, 06:08:33 Does anyone know the status of Squinge's MakeOutFun and MoreEmployeesForHire mods? I didn't see them listed anywhere on Amber's lists.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: yetyak on 2007 October 01, 18:17:53 Make Out Fun showed clean on my list.

Happy Simming. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: mickeycollins on 2007 October 24, 13:34:58 I was woundering if anyone knew if the LTW hack by Squinge that lets you have EcologyGuru, Paranormal, ShowBiz,Visionary in your LTW. I tried the one for EP 5 but when I had it in it worked at first but then the wants started to show up blank. Anyone know if it is being updated for BV or not. Thank you

I didn't know who had done those files (they have just been staring at me in my "Other" file folder because I couldn't find who I got it from)...I was just bummed that they weren't updated for BV (even though they were working fine with it) but thanks for that link! I'll check it out and hopefully it'll help. (I really don't want to deal with 20 kids...sending them all to college...making them all have kids...bah! They're lucky I even bother to send them to college. xD) Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Shonie on 2007 November 01, 18:30:47 I was doing a search for something about running away and came across this thread. ;D This is.....well.......it's soooo AWESOME!!
Thank you so much to all have done the work and updates here. I've found I was missing the feedbaby mod so badly in my game. Babies left on the floor in the kitchen after pucking on Mom or Dad and all. :D I had kept it in with BV at first but it was crashing. Of course I just removed all of Squinges mods figuring they were all fried. Now I am going to start putting them in from this list one at a time and see how it goes. Could have been the version I had.......don't know. Hoping that the Graveyard version is the one that works. hmmm now where was my search result page........LOL Going to make this kid run away if it kills us both. :o Oh and yeah!! Cboys nudist going back in :) HUGE THANKS EVERYONE Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods?

Please use "Thanks" button. Gushing is not necessary nor encouraged. Read FAQ. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: Marvin Kosh on 2007 November 02, 03:11:47 There's a Servo Change Appearance hack at InSIM (http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=63625) which works for Seasons. There's still the issue of the appearance reverting upon visiting a community lot, but that happened with Squinge's mod too.
At least there's a chance it might see an update. Alternatively you could get one of the energiser bunny mods in the same section and turns your Servos into wobowabbits. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: dragonfly on 2007 November 02, 23:19:43 Squinge's hack Pregnancy wear anything seems to be conflicting in my game. Does anyone know if there is a better one out there or something along the same lines that works "more awesome" then this one for BV?
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 November 05, 22:45:20 There have been many reports about the room service not working. The bell hop pulls out the food from under the desk and it vanishes into thin air. I have this problem too. It seems to work maybe the first time you arrive in a hotel but then stop working after that. I have used All In One in the past, but I took it out before I installed BV. Room service worked fine at first and now does not and I do not have All in One in my folder. So I am not convinced that All in One is the culprit here. On other boards, that is a lot of discussion about this and I do not believe all of those posters use All in One. I'm having this problem, although it's intermittent (and I can't seem to nail down the exact steps to recreate it each time). For the record, I DO NOT have All in One, so I think it's something else as well. Where, exactly, have you seen this discussed? I haven't been able to find much (although I admit the BBS scares the crap outta me with all their twaddle, "help me name a pet PLEASE !!ONE11"). Well in my case, now that I have BV, the All-in-1 does seem to cause the bellhop issue. Hopefully someday someone will figure out why, I'm already missing the maids. :-[ Edit: BrainWave! Got an idea... can you put a chef/waiter/greeter in a hotel? Then you can go there and order food without dealing with that bellhop issue? Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: jsalemi on 2007 November 06, 05:31:49 BrainWave! Got an idea... can you put a chef/waiter/greeter in a hotel? Then you can go there and order food without dealing with that bellhop issue? Yes; some of the existing hotels in the vacation hoods have a restaurant on the premises. But they sometimes have their own problem -- the other guests staying in the hotel will steal the food from your sims, sometimes as soon as the waiter puts the plate down, other times when your sim stops eating to talk to someone. Very annoying. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ScoobyDoo on 2007 November 06, 05:41:31 Yup I see that now... the first and only hotel I've been to is the asian cheap one.
Ugh that stealing food was annoying enough downtown... but at least you can steal the guests food too LOL. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: amazone on 2007 November 20, 01:55:27 Can i ask a question to the awsome hackmasters? Well, i do. I am overly annoyed that the sims can't have instruments in the house without playing them auto. Grrr. I think i did download a hack here, and now i can't find it in my downloadfolder or here. I have searched, but i can't remember the name.
It is a hack that should stop sims play instruments auto when they had full skills in creativity. Can someone give me a link to that hack please? My sims are playing all the time untill they nearly starve to death or pee on themself. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2007 November 20, 02:49:46 I suggest putting the instruments in a room and using Authorized Personnel Only to autonomous-lock them so that they cannot be accessed autonomously.

Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: dizzy on 2007 November 20, 03:52:47 I also have a hack for that called "exit-skill-hack" (though it does have the interesting side effect of making some visitors restart raking the leaves rapidly over and over).
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: veilchen on 2007 November 20, 04:06:09 I suggest putting the instruments in a room and using Authorized Personnel Only to autonomous-lock them so that they cannot be accessed autonomously. Yeah well, I sort of have the grand piano in the living room. It looks rather nice there, so I would like to keep it that way. I'll pop over to Monique's, thanks Joe. I didn't know she had a mod like that. BTW, I have the same issues as the person who asked originally about this. Strangely enough, the piano (the upright) doesn't seem as inviting to the simmies as the grand piano. Dizzy, that's an interesting side-effect. If it is constant, that might be great for looking and laughing. Or movie making, which I don't do. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: dizzy on 2007 November 20, 04:08:53 Another side effect is that a sim might start painting and stop painting over and over. That one is a little less amusing.
Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: veilchen on 2007 November 20, 04:29:06 LOL, ('coz I did)
Talk about realism. A sim with ADD. Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: mistymage on 2007 November 20, 14:02:53 I was really surprised that no one has made a decorative non-playable piano over at MTS2. Well, I suppose as long as you don't download the fix needed to make this piano playable http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=181755 it would work as a decoration only.
I'd like to see one that was maybe originally a bed and only pets can sleep on it. Or maybe just cats could since seeing a dog sleeping on a piano (or computer keyboard!!) isn't as funny. My luck, I would forget it was purely decorative and not be able to figure out why future sims couldn't gain skill with it/ couldn't play on it :D ~misty Title: Re: BV: Anybody Updating These Abandoned Mods? Post by: ingeli on 2007 December 05, 19:18:18 I just read in Christianlovs thread (where he posted his CLtool) at MTS2
http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=257487 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=257487) that he is totally ok with anyone updating/developing his stuff. Just FYI all you clever awesome people. |
