#510551 Read this if you got BGII from GoG

Posted by vali on 13 March 2011 - 02:51 AM in Mega Mod Help

I reinstalled, so it doesn't matter anymore.  Everything is working fine (at long last).

I'd check, dabus, but right now I'm just too happy from actually having a working game.  All I know is that when I installed using the GoG version, the only BG2 locations that would load were those stored on BG2 disc 1, and when I installed with the cd version, everything worked fine.  Like I said, I might have just messed up the installation.  We'll know for sure if someone else has the same problem.

Thanks for all your help.  Even though I just ignored it all and reinstalled   :)   I just want to say I am amazed by the amount of interest this game still generates after so many years, and how helpful you all are.  I just finished the first part of the bone hill quest, and was really impressed.  The mods this community has generated are well worth the effort of getting them to work.



#510099 Help installing BGT & mods with the GOG.com versions of the games

Posted by vali on 07 March 2011 - 04:27 PM in BGT Archive

Try using the console to teleport to a BGII location outside of irenicus's dungion.  There is a possibility the game won't load.  Just do control-space, type CLUAConsole:MoveToArea("ar0020").  I wrote a post about this in the mega-mod help forum that you might want to look at.



#510021 Read this if you got BGII from GoG

Posted by vali on 06 March 2011 - 03:36 PM in Mega Mod Help

If you got BGII from Good old Games.com, and used the Big World Installer, try using the console to teleport to any BGII location outside of the starting dungion.  If the location fails to load and asks for a CD instead you have the same problem I did.  I think the problem is that GoG installations and CD installations have a different file structure.  CD installations have 5 folders, one for each CD, while the GoG version has one folder.  This throws off the big world installer, and screws up all locations in BGII that weren't on CD1.  You'll probably have to reinstall.  Unless, of course, I don't know what I'm talking about and the problem is something else entirely.  In that case ignore the above.

Secondly, I have a fast computer, and the game still runs slowly.  Every second or so the game freezes for a couple of frames.  I turned down the framerate, turned off ambient sound, deleted cache and tempsave,  but it didn't help.  My previous installation ran fine, no slowing.  I assume the problem is that I installed the tactics version, which adds lots of scripts.  If so, what mod should I exclude next time to be able to play a game without everything running slowly?



#508943 compatibility with FFT?

Posted by vali on 21 February 2011 - 09:03 PM in Worldmap

It looks easy to add compatibility, but unfortunately I never modded anything. Tried a little bit, modified tra file, but stuck on areas file (coordinates). I suck... :-(


I'll go ahead and second mad mate. I'd love to see FFT added to the worldmap mod (and the BiG world installer). If summer break comes around and it still hasn't been done, I'll learn how to mod and try to do it myself.



#503540 Can't find cd

Yes, I think I restarted the install at some point. Oh well. Thanks for trying to help.



#503400 Can't find cd

Posted by vali on 18 December 2010 - 09:05 PM in Secret of Bone Hill

see as the BWP game are not really supported in this section of the forum

I posted here because this issue only pops up when using this mod. My mistake.

For me to further help you, I would need to know what Operation System you use... see the contents of the "WeiDU.log" and "BiG World Debug.txt", so you need to go to the game folder and copy/put them in an archive file(a .zip, .rar or .7z) and upload that to a post.

Sure, files attached.

Here is an exact quote of the error I get when I enter the magic shop in town:
"Wrong disc in Drive C: Place cd2 in Drive c"

I just wish there was a way to redirect the cd drive to copies of the disc files. Do you think that would do the trick?

Thanks for helping.

#503345 Can't find cd

Posted by vali on 17 December 2010 - 07:15 PM in Secret of Bone Hill

I'm running SoBH 2.75 BGT version as a part of the most recent BWP

I've started the bone hill quest, and adventured in a number of the zones without issue.  However, when I try to enter the bone hill zone, or the cellar in the magic shop in town, or a number of other places, I get a popup asking me to insert cd 2, or cd 3.  

The problem is that I didn't install from cds, and I don't have a cd directory.  I got Baldurs gate as a download from Good Old Games. In my baldur.ini file, I have the following lines:

HD0:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD2:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD3:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD4:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD5:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\
CD6:=C:\Program Files\GOG.com\BGII - SoA\data\

How do I tell your mod to look in the "data" folder for the information it needs?

I posted this to the bugs thread previously, but I'm reposting it here since apparently no one reads the bug thread.
