I cannot resist the temptation.
I decided to try it too. It is a very big list for me for first time, with a lot of complexity. If i won't change the order of the components but just omit components i don't want to use, will i have a workable installation?

14.31. Alora NPC Mod Version 1.01
~SETUP-ALORA.TP2~
The halfling thief from Baldur's Gate can be found in Riblad's store up to no good.
ATTENTION: There are different versions of Alora 1.01 available in the Internet. Don't use this one
with the SETUP-alora.tp2 from the 13.01.07, but with a SETUP-alora.tp2 from the 10.01.06 or from
the 13.01.07.

This is confusing.

Make sure you use SETUP-alora.tp2 from the 13.01.07, because for any reason the files inside the mod had been renamed. It is important especially for the German installation, because there are translated files and otherwise they will not fit. I will change it with the next update.

I can't find anywhere is says that it is not compatible with FixPack
19.2. Unfinished Business for BGII v15
QUOTE
Install Component [Restored Hell Minions, by SimDing0]? [N]ot Install
This component is not compatible with BG2Fixpack

It seems I made a mistake. I will change it with the next update.

This is the one with a conflict with the FixPack
Ding0's QuestPack v2.3
QUOTE
Install Component [Revised Hell Trials]? I]nstall

Which should not be installed with the FixPack, I can send you 2 files that should fix the conflict.

I had described it with subitem 20.6. I will display it in a better way it with the next update.

This should be updated
20.6. Ding0's QuestPack v2.3
QUOTE
Install Component [Additional Shadow Thieves Content]? [N]ot Install
This component is incompatible with the "Shadow Thief Improvements" component of Rogue Rebalancing.


From the Rogue Rebalancing Comprehensive compatibility guide:
QUOTE
SimDing0's Quest Pack (v2.3) [link] - fully compatible, should be installed before Rogue Rebalancing

I will change it with the next update.

This is not compatible with BGT 1.04
22.9. The Bigg Tweak Pack v2.10
QUOTE
Install Component [Flesh to Stone Fix. (v2)]? [I]nstall


From the BGT-WeiDU v1.04 Compatibility
QUOTE
- The Bigg Tweak Pack v2.01 or above

* Avoid use of the component 'Petrification Fix' until further notice

This had been corrected with v 2.10


I am planning an update for next month. It takes into consideration the installation with WeiDU 201 and has improved .bat files

yes

[Altomar]

Leonardo, i read in guide about avoiding installation of Big Picture 177's Ascension because it contains critical bugs. Is Ascension v1.4.22 compatible with the BigWorldProject? In the guide it is not installed and there isn't any description about why should be avoided.

[lostincarnation]

20.3. Ascension v1.4.21
Install Component [Ascension v1.41 (requires ToB)]? [N]ot Install

I think Ascension should be installed at this stage since the following mods require this.
This is obviously a mistake of the guide.


The AR0602.baf patch for fr_rov v4 is not necessary for i find that this file is identical to the one in the mod.


There is a typo in the BHZAHR.TRA patch for Bonehill Dialog fix.
@31 = ~What about the problem with the gnolls aways attacking?~
should be "always"

[golgoth]

Still no chance to make a newer versione of NeJ compatible with BGT & CO. ?

Anyway, if someone got NeJ 4.2b please send me a pm, you'll make me a happy man

[Altomar]

Then if i install Ascension-WeiDU-v1.4.22 , is it compatible with BP v1.77 or should i install something else like sword coast stratagem 2?

[DissObey]

Yes, im too also looking for the NEJ old version 4.2b files, they just cant be found. Should i just giveup on trying to locate them because it seems that nobody has them. T_T

You are right! Look at the WeiDU.log file. Ascension is installed.

You are right! I will change that.

[aVENGER]

Another small detail I just noticed - on page 104 of the English PDF, the Rogue Rebalancing setup file is listed as "SETUP-APACK.TP2" which is incorrect. That designation was used for the old versions of RR.

The new name of the Rogue Rebalncing setup file is "Setup-RR.tp2" and it now resides within the RR folder (instead of aPack).

[melkor_morgoth75]

Just a suggestion ... i would leave NEJ install from the guide. The "old" compatible package is not available anymore and not supported by author (moreover it doesn't have lot of contents NEJ actually has). Moreover it will be difficult to work on that package for possible future bugs ...

Just my 2 cents,

mm75

[aVENGER]

Leonardo, I just noticed that the "Check the Bodies" mod alters Bodhi's tasks which the player must fulfill after siding with her in Chapter 2. This makes CtB incompatible with the "Shadow Thief Improvements" component of Rogue Rebalancing.

[quinlan]

Greetings. I have studied carefully the pdf, omitted a lot of stuff to make a more benign 1st attempt ? without changing the list ? and below is the list I plan to use in my installation. Please have a look at it in case I made any mistakes in terms of compatibility. I will also need your help to download the components I didn?t find on my own. Keep in mind that for some obscure reason I cannot access the sorcerer?s place and weidu addresses, so post other links or through file-share in cases some of the components are unique to the above sites.

[melkor_morgoth75]

I don't have much knowledge in computers, so i don't know what else to do.

Just a suggestion ... try to install few mods or at least just the ones u really like. U need to troubleshoot problems if u are going to install 100+ mods at the same time ;-)

I took your suggestion into consideration and picked 60-70 from the pool of 200+. Not all in the list now are an absolute must-have. Perhaps i will omit some more before i start the effort.

[Altomar]

Quinlan, BP_BGT_Worldmap_v6.6.1 is necessary, because it also shows the additional areas of the big mods.
Weidu and Sorcers link work fine for me. i don't know what can be wrong.

If you try to start a BG2 game, you will have CTD
