#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

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

i checked www.rpgdungeon.net before but couldn't find the mod because it has a different name - RPG Dungeon Item Pack...

#272799 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 04 December 2006 - 08:37 AM in Mega Mod Help

hmm, if im not mistaken BP, SCS and Quest Pack all modify AI

i think it's probably better to use only one of them

25. scsbgt_v4.2 (Sword Coast Stratagems) Install directly after BGT v1.02

if was suspcious of this order as i understand SCS adds global changes to the game and i thought it would be better to install it at the end of the list since there are mods after BGT (and so also after SCS)

7. RoTv2.0 (Region of Terror) + RoTv2.01_Fix

8. BGT102-Install v1.02 (Baldur's Gate Trilogy)
the suggested place for SCS

9. DSotSC4BGTWeidu185WM6 (Dark Side of the Sword Coast)
10. NTotSC4BGTWeidu145WM6 (Northern Tales of the Sword Coast)
11. SoBHv205FullWM6 (Secret of Bonehill)

12. Deeper Shadows of Amn
13. Ajoc's Minimod Weidu v1.6

but i'm not an expert here, if you say so, i'll try it

sorry guys, i'm so fussy about these mods because they have so many goodies i wish i could install all of them
as for AI i think i will have to choose one of them - SCS or BP or Quest Pack (probably SCS or BP), but i hope can still use improved adventures from the rest of them...

#272539 mod installation - a question

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

#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.

#272602 mod installation - a question

Posted by m5000 on 03 December 2006 - 04:21 AM in Mega Mod Help

m5000,

There is alot to play with just the main mods. Maybe you should get a game going and working right with them before you try to install very little mod. Just to get my install to work right I often have to reinstall 3 or 4 times. See if you can get BP-BGT-TDD-SoS-TS working right.

please, don't discourage me

the point is that BP-BGT-TDD-SoS-TS is a larger part of the modded game, when i've finished it, i will have absolutely no motivation to go back to it with smaller mods added, so i guess it's best to install a bit more than just BP-BGT-TDD-SoS-TS at the very beginning...

anyway, when i look at other people's mega-installations, i think that mine isn't really that impressive

here it is:

i've compiled a list of mods i'd like to install with some comments i found here and there:

0. Full BG1+ToTSC+5512 patch and BG2 SOA+TOB+26498 patch

1. BG2 fixpack v1
2. SoS v1.11 (Shadows Over Soubar)
3. TDD v1.11 (The Darkest Day)

4. CtB v1.8 (Check the Bodies)
5. CtBXPFix (Experience cap patch)

6. TS-BPv6.09 (Tortured Souls)

7. RoTv2.0 (Region of Terror) + RoTv2.01_Fix

8. BGT102-Install v1.02 (Baldur's Gate Trilogy)

9. DSotSC4BGTWeidu185WM6 (Dark Side of the Sword Coast)
10. NTotSC4BGTWeidu145WM6 (Northern Tales of the Sword Coast)
11. SoBHv205FullWM6 (Secret of Bonehill)

12. Deeper Shadows of Amn
13. FR_ROV_WeiDUv3 (Freedom's Reign of Virtue MiniMOD)
14. Ajoc's Minimod Weidu v1.6

15. D0QuestPack_v23
!!! Present incompatibility between BP177 Core AI and Ding0's Quest pack component "Creatures&Area Improvements" if installed after BP. These can be avoided by installing the quest pack before BP, but this will break the Quest Pack's Ascension-related components.

16. UnfinishedBusiness-v15

17. Amber-v23
18. Auren-v4
19. NPC_Tweak-v3.0
20. NPCFlirtV101
21. CrossmodBG2-v4 (New banters)
22. BG1NPC-v12Beta3

23. Plasmo_BGBG2-v1 (New portraits)
24. MoinesseAvatars-v1 <----------------------- not really sure, is it any good, can't find screens anywhere
25. 1pp-v2 (BG2 Artwork Fixpack)

26. SongAndSilence-v1
27. Improved_Horns-v1.2
28. Scriptable_Spells-v1.4

29. scsbgt_v4.2 (Sword Coast Stratagems)

30. BPv177 (Big Picture) + BPv177_TOB_Fix

31. Oversight-v9
!!! Tougher Sendai component is not compatible. Avoid its installation!

32. PnPCelestials-v4
33. BP Series v3 <--------------------------- why not eSeries???
34. gMinion-v1.8

35. BG2_Tweaks-v3
36. DEFJAM_v3 (XP Fixes)
37. BP-BGT-Worldmap-v6.3

could someone experienced have a look at it and check if the order and everything is correct? this may not be the final list - i rather won't add anything, but i may delete certain items...

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.

also i noticed advice to actually replace the BGT/Worldmap/links.tbl with the one located here: http://www.shsforums...p...ost&id=4098 - no one had mentioned it before - is it necessary and is it something i would have to do with my mods arranged like they are shown above?
is it necessary and is it something i would have to do with my mods arranged like they are shown above?
Yes, if fixes some worldmap problems.

but is it necessary to replace EVERYTHING in the old file with what is in this new table, or only some part of it should be replaced - certain lines? there is considerably LESS stuff in the new table, i'd say some one tenth of what is in the old one...

fair enough

but there is still this Chores_for_G3FixPack_Fix i'm supposied to install if i'm using G3 FixPack

so, shall i copy the contents of Ctbv1.8 into BGII folder and then copy the conents of this Chores_for_G3FixPack_Fix (i think they will overwrite some of the Ctbv1.8 files), and then install?

---

by the way, is G3 FixPack the same as the latest BG2 Fixpack by the Gibberlings three, becasue i have the latter?
