have you tried installing the improved xvart village component ?

So the area in question is AR3498. Is AR3498.WED missing from override or from compression in one of the .bif files in the data directory? Do any of the backup folders in the mod directories contain a AR3498.WED, AR3498.ARE, or AR3498.TIS (can do a simple Windows Explorer search)?

Can you attach your Setup-BGTDOS.DEBUG file for me?

.bif files you can browse through in NI under Edit->BIFF (Ctrl-E accelerator). Also, AR3498 data would be under AREA3600.BIF. You wouldn't normally find these files in the override, unless a different mod decided to change them in some way (not common).

How do I attach files to a post? Also it's 11,2 MB big, so I wouldn't it exceed some limit?

Well on a forum after you have logged in, you push the Addreply buttom and after you have arrived to the messanger, you look under the message sheet and you'll find the Attachments, push the seach... and you import the file directory etc. Or if you live in an uncivilised contry like I do , you'll use one of these servises and give the link it provides.

Compressing Setup-BGTDOS.DEBUG will reduce its size ~10-fold.

Thanks, although it might not be good news. It appears that the installation completely skipped the compression of files into the AREA3600.BIF file, which explains why you don't have it at all. Did you get any exception errors or other abnormalities during the installation?

Apart from this single compression hiccup, the installation seems fine (the areas that were supposed to be compressed were extracted and processed fine). The code that compresses the area files uses a repetitive call on a WeiDU.exe file. Something might have caused the call not to run properly on this one occasion.

If you like to have that area around, you might need to re-install BGT-WeiDU.

I don't recall any errors during installation. I guess I'll reintall it so that I'm sure this didn't happened with any other files. Do you have any recomendations on which mods I should use (other than those I already have)

No one 'should' use any mods. Now you 'could' use a number of different mods, but I recommend you stick to the exact installation order so you can continue your saved game. Check that AR3600.BIF is present after BGT-WeiDU installation before continuing. :-)

Well, I'll start a new game with a different character (I never played BG as cleric, so I'd like to give it a try). So which different mods you had in mind?

I had every mod not on your list in mind. Actually, I was simply referring to the semantics of the sentence. What you've got is just fine. I was informing you about keeping the exact same installation order in case you wanted to continue your current game.

Oh, ok, my mistake. Thanks a lot for your help
