COMPATIBILITY LIST FOR BGT-WeiDU v0.99 ZETA
Last Updated: 26 February 2006

Installation tips
-if you want to play the mega-modification (TDD, SoS, TS) with BGT-WeiDU, install the mega-modification first, then BGT-WeiDU
-if you want to play the mega-modification with BGT-WeiDU and other modifications, install the mega-modification first, then BGT-WeiDU, and then install other modifications on top (the exception is Check the Bodies [CtB] and Never Ending Journey [NeJ], of which both should be installed before BGT-WeiDU)
-if you want to play BGT-WeiDU without the mega-modification but with other modifications, install BGT-WeiDU first before installing other modifications on top (note the exception above)

Notes on compatibility
-current compatibility between BGT-WeiDU and other modifications are listed below
-note that versions of modifications below those stated may be incompatible
-the compatibility list does not imply that the other modifications mentioned are compatible with each other, e.g. if BGT-WeiDU is compatible with modification A and modification B, then that does not mean that modification A is compatible with modification B. Make sure you understand the specific requirements of each modification by looking at their readmes before you go into hardcore mixing and matching.
-all modifications that add areas to the worldmap will NOT be compatible with BGT-WeiDU UNLESS Revised BP-BGT Worldmap is used
-modifications that affect only the Shadows of Amn and/or the Throne of Bhaal part of Baldur's Gate are best installed just before the transition to Shadows of Amn takes place, although not mandatory
-NEW! and Updated! indicate the latest compatibility update(s)
-tentative assignment means I have checked and it seems to be however compatible as I have listed it, but this assignment may not be correct

Tackling possible SONGLIST.2DA incompatibility
For a modification listed as partially compatible due to possible SONGLIST.2DA incompatibility, this means that if BGT-WeiDU is installed with the mentioned modification (whether not any other modifications are also installed), the game may not start. To fix this problem if it occurs:
- ensure that you have all the modifications that you want installed already installed
- make a backup of the file SONGLIST.2DA, which an be found in your <BGT-WeiDU installation directory>\override directory
- open the file SONGLIST.2DA in your <BGT-WeiDU installation drectory>\override directory using a simple word processor (Notepad or Wordpad, for example), then remove all text after the text 'BP4.MUS'. Make sure that there is no line feed character after the 'S' of 'BP4.MUS'.
- start the game and it should cause no problems
- if you want to change your installation in any way (such as installing new modifications or uninstalling already installed modifications), restore your backup of SONGLIST.2DA first, then after changing the installation, proceed to change SONGLIST.2DA as above

Unfinished Business (without kits or Valygar/ Suna Seni component) v14

I haven't installed this in a long time but this part used to be fine with BP. What makes it not work anymore?

[Ascension64]

I've read the compatibility list here and elsewhere on the forum, as well as the readmes for specific mods but would appreciate it if someone could review and comment on my proposed installation order for a fresh BGT-WeiDU Zeta install. Thanks.

The order looks fine to me, but that huge combination has certainly not been tested. If you are willing to 'bug-fix' your game as you find the bugs, then that is greatly encouraged. If you do find bugs, it will be hard to support you on this forum (or others) because of the extreme combination, but post them in places anyway and I (or others) will see what I (or they) can do. Good luck!

I have no idea about this.

Valygar and TS should not work together.

[Agamemnon]

I shall certainly give it a go although I have decided not to install the following:
1. Check the Bodies since my take from the CtB forum is that there are still some bugs
2. Exnem's Addon
3. ToB refinements

I would, however, like to install the Item Upgrade mod v32 which I think is a really cool mod but does anyone know if it has any compatibility issues with BGT-Weidu?

Thanks.

Well, if it isn't on the list on the first post of this topic, it means no one has told me, and I haven't checked it, but since you ask...

I have checked ItemUpgrade v32 and it appears to have no conflicts whatsoever with BGT-WeiDU.

[Agamemnon]

Thanks... that's great

Hello,


I recently found out about this great IE mod and would love to try and give it a go. But so far I have some questions about other (BG2) WeiDU mods and compatibility wich are _NOT_ listed above. Would you be so kind to check and post it or add to the list if they are compatible or not?

- BG2:ToB Refinements v3 (Mostly HLA stuff)
- BG2:ToB QuestPack v2
- Underrepresented items, ascension, tactics, ease-of-use e.d. from http://www.weidu.org/
- Freedom's Reign / Reign of Virtue from the Gibberlings3 Tweak Pack
- Rogue rebalancing mod with custom shop
- How do I add the Secret shops from the collectors edition? Yust copying the two files to the override folder?

Oh, also, what do you mean by "partially" compatible?
What happens when I do install Kelsey-ToB or Keto v2?


Thank you very much!

I'll check these out.

Yes, that is fine.

Partially compatible really means not compatible, but there is a very quick way to make them compatible. With Kelsey and Keto, the game won't even start if you try to play the game directly after installation. With the SONGLIST.2DA incompatibility issues for these mods in particular, I think I explained somewhere how to remove the problem...yup, do a search for "BP4.mus" in this topic.

[Jefpet]

Thank you very much! I hope the mods I posted will be compatible
Well I'll wait to install them until I'm in the end of the BG1+TOSC saga.

[Ascension64]

That's a good idea. It might take me a fair bit of time to look through the list of mods you mention. They are quite big in patching files.

[Ascension64]

MASSIVE update to the compatibility list...yeah, it took me quite a bit of time, so don't be excited and pester me for more (*serious*). I hope people are content now that most of their favourite mods are likely to be on the list.

@Jefpet: all your mod requests are included, but since I'm getting a bit lazy after doing all that searching and checking, do a browser search for your mod on the list.

Enjoy!

[Ascension64]

This is the list many people have been waiting for. You are awesome Ascension64! You must be one of the hardest working modders around. It is appreciated.

Thanks, but I think it is now time to remind people again about the A vs B dogma that many users fall in the trap of. Here we go:

If BGT-WeiDU is compatible with Mod A
and
BGT-WeiDU is also compatible with Mod B
that DOES NOT MEAN that
Mod A is compatible with Mod B.

Remember that. This is the reason why I, and all other modders out there, find it very hard to diagnose bugs that people have when they combine a whole bunch of mods together with their mod. Be warned!

[SimDing0]

I'm not aware of any reason Quest Pack shouldn't be compatible with BGT (it used to work with BP-BGT). Has anyone tried it?

[Salk]

I might also add this question: has anyone tried Unfinished Business on BGT-WeiDu Zeta ? Both this and SimDing0s Quest Pack would really be worth additions!

Ascension64,

congratulations for reaching higher compatibility rate!
