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

[Chevalier]

Yes they should all work!!! I always use 1pp-v2 with BP-BGT. Use Sword Coast Stratagems for BGT version 4.2 with BGT.

and e.g. a mod 'Amber' - it's an NPC mod and in the readme it says 'This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack. The mod should be compatible with other WeiDU mods...' - nothing about BGT or Tutu, is it compatible with BGT? if so, does it mean that all mods that are WeiDU and are designed for BG1/2 are automatically BGT compatible unless there is a warning about incompatibility? because in the readmes of many mods there is nothing about BGT...

[Chevalier]

Amber should be ok too, but not all WeiDU mods are check here and here for list of comp. mods, if they are on both lists then they should work.

so i assume that AjocsMinimodWeidu v16 is not compatible because it isn't listed

[erebusant]

Ajocs Minimod is fine. One of the primary things you want to look at when determining whether a mod is "compatible" with your install or not is 1st, whether is appends and patches the files in your installation rather than overwriting them, and 2nd whether it creates duplications of existing NPC's, overlapping of dialogs, etc. You can have a mod that is technically "compatible" and still cause wierd incompatibilites without actually "breaking" your game. You can also have slight incompatibilities which are easy to live with, such as dialogs which don't take into account the fact that you have previously met a NPC, or something like that. It's very difficult to make a mod that isn't going to cause at least one ot two things to not match up seamlessly.

[Chevalier]

Why?? It needs TDD to work. I am not sure if it works or not.

[m5000]

do you know where else to get

HERBS AND POTIONS ADD-IN

and

HE GREY CLAN EPISODE I: IN CANDLELIGHT


the download section at www.blackwyrmlair.net doesn't seem to work

[Chevalier]

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:

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...

[pro5]

13. FR_ROV_WeiDUv3 (Freedom's Reign of Virtue MiniMOD)

Needs some editing to avoid problems: http://www.shsforums...showtopic=23120

16. UnfinishedBusiness-v15

Don't install Suna Seni component - is incompatible with TS-BP.
For Boo Kidnapping component to work without problems, try using temporary fix from here

28. Scriptable_Spells-v1.4

Included in BG2 Fixpack.

29. scsbgt_v4.2 (Sword Coast Stratagems)

Must be installed before 15. D0QuestPack_v23 with this mod combination.

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

If you're planning to change XP settings in future, install DEFJAM after worldmap.

If you want to have original BG1 music in BGT, also install BGT GUI last; install different GUI upon completing BGT part of the game.

[m5000]

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

If you're planning to change XP settings in future, install DEFJAM after worldmap.

are you sure?, i read somewhere that the worldmap must always be installed at the end

[Oldwolf]

If you open FR_ROV/BCS/Patch/AR0602 and add a Continue() in the line just after the words "Horseman's Flail", and just before the line with the word END before you install FR_ROV it will be just fine. As a matter of fact, you probably want to go through all of those bafs in the patch directory and make certain they have continue()'s too. Some of them do, some don't.

I used DLTCEP to do this and mine works just fine now.... at least so far lol I ONLY added the Continue() to the AR0602 file as I'm not a modder and haven't the foggiest idea on how to program I didnt' want to get into the problem of adding Continues where they DON'T belong
