if i installed BP, would eSeries and gMinion mods do the same as BP? do i gain something extra by installing them? are they compatible?


thanks


ps

i think i read somewhere that gMinion doesn't have to be installed with BP

BP Series v3 is eSeries for BP and install after BP. You can do a search on D0QuestPack_v23 and BP, but I think it will work with BP.

If you install gminion before BPseries then BPseries will fail to install.

will it? i didn't know that...

BPSeries is, as Chev says, basically the eSeries updated to use with BP - it includes scripting for spells, items etc added by mods from the BP family (TDD, SoS, etc), plus a versino of gMinion that has also been updated for BP.

it used to be the case that the eSeries and BP would cause an instant CTD, which was why the BPSeries first came into being. i doubt very much that the eSeries still does that, but not having installed it for several years, i wouldn't know.

if gMinion causes BP to fail, then yr only option is the BPSeries, as the eSeries requires gMinion to work properly. the BPSeries can be installed before or after BP if you have TDD installed; after BP is you dont have TDD installed.

gminion is in bpseries and if you install gminion before it, bpseries cant patch something and fails. No offence seanas but I like the gminion from cierrik better so I usually comment out yours in bpseries then I can have both bpseries and eseries installed.

gminion does not cause bp to fail, i have installed it before and after BP with no problems.
