#306305 Where can I download v1.8?

Posted by m5000 on 22 May 2007 - 09:37 AM in Check the Bodies

I feel really dumb for asking this, but is there anywhere at all to download the newest version of Check the Bodies? All of the download links I've found have been for v1.6, which won't install.

#272078 TDD vs RoT character kits

Posted by m5000 on 29 November 2006 - 02:43 PM in IE Help

could someone briefly describe main differences and characteristics of these 2 kits, i've been looking for some info but can't find any, i'd like to know something about them to decide whether or not install any extra kits and if so which ones - TDD or RoT?

regards

i actually checked these two mods by myself installing them one by one, and compared the kits, which makes this post useless, could the moderator delete it, please

thanks

#305516 RoT-WeiDU Fix#1

Posted by m5000 on 20 May 2007 - 08:07 AM in Region of Terror

1. do you have to first copy and install RoT, and then copy and install Fix

or

2. do you have to copy RoT into SoA folder, copy Fix files, and then install everything?

regards

#272127 reign of terror vs region of terror

Posted by m5000 on 29 November 2006 - 11:41 PM in Mega Mod Help

are they two different mods? or there's just one and someone has made a mistake, a typo

in this installation order:

0. Full BGII SOA+TOB+26498 patch (and BG1+ToTSC+5512 patch or BG Original Saga if installing BGT)
1. BG2 fixpack v1
2. NEJ2v42 + NEJ2v602 patch, and NEJ2 biffer v3 if using BP-weidu (but see *note)
3. SoS v1.11 and/or TDD v1.11 and/or CtB v1.8 and/or Tortured Souls for BP v6.09 and/or Reign of Terror v2.0 - in any order (but note: NEJ2 and CtB have some incompatibilities. be sure you want to install both of these before you go ahead and do so)
4. Baldur's Gate Trilogy v1.02 (read the instructions in readme file before installing) and NeJ2-BGT compat patch if using both NEJ2 and BGT
5. Dark Side of the Sword Coast v1.85
6. Northern Tales of the Sword Coast v1.45
7. Secret of Bonehill v2.05

8. All other mods, except the ones on this list (they should go after Big Picture v177)

9. Big Picture v177
10. BG2 Tweaks v3
11. DEFJAM XP fixer v3
12. BP-BGT Worldmap v6.3

it says 'Reign of Terror", but the link actually directs you to download "Region of Terror"

cheers

#272539 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 02 December 2006 - 08:31 PM in Mega Mod Help

Deeper Shadows of Amn

SCSBGT_v4.1

1pp-v2 for better graphics

D0Questpack (at PPG)
D0Tweaks (at PPG)

are they compatible with BGT? and with these:

1. BG2 fixpack v1
2. SoS v1.11
3. TDD v1.11
4. CtB v1.8
5. Tortured Souls for BP v6.09
6. Reign of Terror v2.0
7. Baldur's Gate Trilogy v1.02
8. Dark Side of the Sword Coast v1.85
9. Northern Tales of the Sword Coast v1.45
10. Secret of Bonehill v2.05
11. Big Picture v177
12. BG2 Tweaks v3
13. DEFJAM XP fixer v3
14. BP-BGT Worldmap v6.3

i'm asking because it says e.g. in the One Pixel Productions readme that 'This Artwork pack is designed to work with Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with or without the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack. The mod is also compatible with Tutu.' - there is not a word here about BGT, i don't want to mess things up

actually, the same seems to refer to Sword Coast Stratagems, i know there is a post 'Sword Coast Stratagems for BGT version 4.2', but i couldn't find any reference to BGT in the readme, only some referrences to TuTu

and what about QuestPack v2.3?

so i just wanted to make sure it's ok to install them with BGT

#273528 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 09 December 2006 - 12:40 PM in Mega Mod Help

in the sticky, it says '- Simding0's Experience Fixer - NOTE: Fully compatible with BP and BP+ games.'

yet, i found this advice: ' DEFJAM XP fixer v3 - in my opinion, it's a must on every BGT install; otherwise game is very unbalanced because you receive 1000's xp for every lock picked or spell learned. Don't install component reducing XP given for creatures - it has compatibility issues with Big Picture. I usually use "Reduce XP awards for locks/traps/spells to 10%" and uninstall it when I reach BG2. If you want to use DEFJAM, install it right before running Setup-GUI in the last step.

does this incompatibility refer to the latest versions of the mods or is it something that was in the previous versions - do you recommend installin creature xp reduction component?

one more question

let's assume that i have installed a number of mods, and played a little and saved, and then i want to change the mods, perhaps use new, updated versions and add a few new ones i didn' use earlier and reinstall everything - will i still be able to use my old save?

#272047 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 29 November 2006 - 10:16 AM in Mega Mod Help

by Chores v2.0 do you mean the fix that is avaulable here? ---> http://www.shsforums...showtopic=21673
no, CtB Chores v2 can be downloaded here. the Chores FastForward can be downloaded here.

as i understand it, Chores v2 makes the first part of CtB - the chores part - playable; Chores FastForward allows you to skip the chores entirely.

i don't really want to install Chores FastForward, but i have now the following files: CtBv1.8, CtBXPFix (has to do with experience cap), Setup-CtB-Chores (Chores v2?), and Chores_for_G3FixPack_Fix (has to do with G3 FixPack)

i'm a bit confused, could someone suggest the right installation order?

-------------------
in Setup-CtB-Chores there is this file: Setup-CtB-Chores.tp2, but the same file seems to be in CtBv1.8 - inside there are Ctb folder, Setup-Ctb.exe, Setup-Ctb.tp2, AND Setup-CtB-Chores.tp2.

#273593 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 09 December 2006 - 11:35 PM in Mega Mod Help

does this incompatibility refer to the latest versions of the mods or is it something that was in the previous versions - do you recommend installin creature xp reduction component?
There's an incompatibility, but it's not critical. You just may be getting inconsistent XP awards for monsters killed because BP uses its own system of creature XP adjustments (say, BP reduces XP for one creature by 25% and then you install DEFJAM with 50% setting and reduce it even further).
By the way, version 4 of DEFJAM has been released at PPG.
hang on - where's this incompatibility warning? this used to be the behaviour with BP, but since the release of v176 it's no longer true. Horred removed all of BP's manually adjusted XP values because Sim's code is robust and because it's better to let users set the XP to the value of their choice.

one silly question - when do i start the chores component? if i start the game from the beginning and have BGT, will i start the chores at the very beginning of the game when i'm inexperienced in Candlekeep (this would make sense), or when i have killed sarevok and i'am starting SoA?

thanks for the answer

#271991 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 29 November 2006 - 02:44 AM in Mega Mod Help

ok, i've compiled a list of mods i'd like to install:

1. BG2 fixpack v1
2. SoS v1.11
3. TDD v1.11
4. CtB v1.8
5. Tortured Souls for BP v6.09
6. Reign of Terror v2.0
7. Baldur's Gate Trilogy v1.02
8. Dark Side of the Sword Coast v1.85
9. Northern Tales of the Sword Coast v1.45
10. Secret of Bonehill v2.05
11. Big Picture v177
12. BG2 Tweaks v3
13. DEFJAM XP fixer v3
14. BP-BGT Worldmap v6.3

could someone perhaps suggest other decent mods that were compatible with the list, safe to install and where to put them in the list? i don't want to install tons of mods, but maybe there are a few others worth installing improving the game and adding new stuff, especially on BG1 map
