I would like to use the following:
TDD 1.11
Check the Bodies 1.8
Bg2 Fixpack
Reign of Terror v2
Shadows over Soucbar v1.11
Totured Souls v610
SOBH v205 Full wm6

Are these all compatible with the Big Picture. If so what is the order to be and which version of BP do I use v161g Full, v176 or v177.

Look here: http://www.shsforums...showtopic=18294

just leave out BGT if you dont want it and any other mod you dont need.

SoBH wont work without BGT

Ronin,
Please excuse my ignorance. I am a huge fan of BG series and have played the game for years. But I am brand new to the modding, weidu, installation order, code, forums, etc. I followed the installation order at the link you posted for a non-BGT install including: BP v177, ToB, SOS v1.11, ROT v2.0 and fix1, TDD v1.11, BG2 fixpack v1, BG2 tweaks v3, and worldmap v6.3. The game loads fine, but I run single player and start and the opening cutscene won't begin, it just stalls. I've reloaded from scratch multiple times and am pretty damn frustrated right now. I've looked all over the internet, can you help? here's my weidu log:

I have seen in other threads people having the same problem.

remove these components and try again:

~SETUP-ROT.TP2~ #0 #0 // Region Of Terror, v2.0
~SETUP-ROTUPDATE.TP2~ #0 #0 // Region of Terror - Fix #1

It looks as if ROT adds something to ar0603 and because of that the cutscene wont start.

yeah, that's my thought as well. has RoT been updated since the release of the BG2 Fixpack? cos the Fixpack does some heavy correcting in ar0602 - i suspect there's a block there that RoT is looking for but which is no longer the same as it was, as it's been fixed by the fixpack.

and yes, the short term fix - assuming yr not wanting to hack open the scripts yrself and hunt down the error - is uninstall RoT, as ronin says, and start a new game.

I still don't understand why so many people are having problems getting an SoA game to start with RoT installed. Attached is the decompiled text from my AR0602.bcs so people can use it to compare.

1. This install has everything except CtB-Chores. (As per 010107 WeiDU Install log posted in the BP + BGT Sticky)

2. Order of events upon beginning a new game:

a. Game loads per normal, and you get the Alaundo prophecy, and the whole movie thing the 1st time.

b. Dungeon cages flash into sight for a split second, then fade to black.

c. Jarlaxle & Entreri have their cute little cutscene about creating a "region of terror".

d. Screen fades to black & you hear <charname> make his little "death" grunt a second before the cages come back into view.

e. Mr Happy appears, and we're off to the races.

Could be a conflict between chores and ROT then since you dont have the problem but people with chores installed do.

Thanks Ronin, you rock man. That's a good movie by the way. Could it be the order at which I should install the mods? I remember reading somewhere that RoT should be installed after i think TDD. I'm going to reload from scratch and see.

I have post the same problem in BP+BGT forum.

I am think it could be due to that I did not install BGT, so the ROT is having problem with BG2 fixpack.

I think most of people having problem with ROT are also did not have BGT. Maybe there are something that was clean up by BGT after ROT installation, if no BGT installed, the ROT will not be able to start correctly.
