Banner Saga 2 Fix Pack and my own little JSON fix

[Beercat]

Hey all, since I am a huge fan of the game but just couldn't stand some of the bugs that it has - you could imagine how happy I was to find this Fixpack -https://www.nexusmods.com/thebannersaga2/mods/2?tab=files
It fixes LOTS of annoying things and makes the overall experience much better.

After installing it though I have discovered that some of the buttons had missing descriptions (audio, promote buttons, etc) and were instead showing the JSON tags like "opt_audio" and that was pretty immersion breaking for me - so after an evening of investigation I found the culprit of some missing json tags in the strings section of the game and fixed those up myself.

You can grab the updated json file here - https://gofile.io/d/Ai0dbG

You will need to drop it into this folder and overwrite the existing file for the tag fix to be applied -
tbs2\assets\common\locale\en\

The sequence of installing the fixes is as follows:

1. Install the original Banner Saga 2 game from Steam
2. Install the Fixpack - https://www.nexusmods.com/thebannersaga2/mods/2?tab=files
3. Install my own JSON tags fix https://gofile.io/d/Ai0dbG

Good luck and happy caravaneeing!

Oh ffs. Steam =/

Isn't 'saga1.json' a common filename across all 3 games? I'm pretty sure that was the file you gave me last February.

[mcbak]

Use zippyshare, it's on steams whitelist and the files won't ever get deleted unless not scoring a single download in a month.

[mcbak]

Ugh, my bad. Now, this is definitely THAT file: https://www73.zippyshare.com/v/6zgcqigx/file.html

I swear. The one you uploaded on February 16th 2021.

What the Hell, this is madness, it's getting hilarious.

Opening zippyshare got me a 403 forbidden error, tried also with 4G network of my phone.

If I remember it correctly that file (strings.json.z) should be less thant 150Kb, so could you please just send it to this email address?

[e-mail]

Come on, Steam, never been so hard to share a file.

[mcbak]

LOL! Check your e-mail.

[Giopeppe]

Triple-checked. Nothing there. Sent myself a mail from another account and it works.
Don't know what's happening.
SH1T.
I feel back in 1989.
Any chance you miswrote the address or is this just an horrible curse?

[mcbak]

I copy-pasted the address right from your message. Here's a picture: https://i.postimg.cc/PxTCDkTj/Screenshot-20211210-124452.png

This must be a cursed file indeed.

Can you open my zippyshare link in TOR Browser?

[Giopeppe]

Oh, ok, I see. That temporary mail is limited to 150KB of attachment, send just the strings.json.z (it should be less than that).

[mcbak]

done (116 kb)

Okey, moz aliases don't seem to work with attachments, no matter how many fould words i throw at it BUT your advice to use TOR was succesful. It appears Zippyshare is geolocked in my country.

Thanks mate.

[Giopeppe]

Thanks Beercat and thanks mcbak:

Zippyshare is one of the least offending file sharing sites that literally no one wants to block... Maybe your ISP doesn't support IPV6 and somehow zippyshare exposes one one of its IPV6 addresses when resolved from your region? Or your ISP is just silly?

[Giopeppe]

It seems is not just my ISP, or could be that zippyshare itself is geoblocking in some countries. I have no idea of what's and why is going on.

any options to fix steam achivements not unlocking when you play with fixpack? Is there any older version, that unlocking achivements work with steam? Im forced to play withhout fixpack, because there is no achivement unlocking :(

does version 1.33 works and unlocks achivements on steam?

What if i install 1.4 and then restore original achiviement.json file. Will that break the game/fixpack?
