You need to install worldmap mod.

I think CtB v1.9 needs the world map.

Yeah, put up your DEBUG file. Thanks.

Thinking more about this, maybe there is something else to the needed file/directory structure than just worldmap.tra in the main BG2 folder. I can't see any such information anywhere, which of course makes trying to get things working bloody irritating - as CTB alone supposedly fits Worldmap's requirements you'd think it would just easily install and actually work.

So, what exactly is needed for a working install?

You need worldmap.tra in your CtB/language folder. You need a Worldmap folder that includes files called map_mods_areas.tbl, map_mods_links.tbl, map_mods_links_patch.tbl, and map_mods_trans.tra respectively. As long as you have all of these files, your Worldmap should install correctly.

Better but not quite right, now - all SoA and ToB areas show on the main worldmap.wmp but no CtB areas.

For the map_mods_... files, are they just blank files(create and rename *.txt) or does something specific need to be copied and renamed? The closest existing files I can see are those files in the CTB\worldmap\ directory of the install *.rar.

No. They are built during the installation of CtB in your Worldmap Directory.

...except all files created by installing CtB are auto-biffed as part of the process(and as far as I can tell you can just look inside them like a zip file). Searching my entire BGII - SoA folder, the only maps_mods... files I see are those I created myself.

But never mind. I give up.

From the CtB .tp2:

You should have a BGII-SoA/Worldmap folder. If you don't, then try a completely fresh install of BGII and a fresh extraction and install of CtB then Worldmap 6.6.1. It will work for you, honest,,,
