my weidu log is in my sig. my question is, can my existing savegames be used with the new versions of all the big mods: tdd, sos, ts, ctb, wm6.3 or will i have to start with a brand new game. apart from these big ones, the other mods that i will install will be exactly the same as and in the same order as my existing installation.
can old saves be used with new stuff?

In order to get the benefits from the new world map you will have to start a new game. With the updated BGT1.01 you will also have to start a new game.

You could manually replace all the old String References in your save game to the equivalent new ones, then copy the new world map into your savegame and edit all the entries so that the correct locations appear, but that would be extremely time-consuming.is there something that i can do with dltcep or ni or sk and my old save games to be able to use them?

The updates to the big mods only add wm6 support, if you are a long way into the game I would not quit and start over again. Of course you miss out on the new map but thats about the only thing.
