BG 1 + tosc
Bg 2 + tob
TDD
fredom reign + reign of virtue
weimer ease of use
weimer item upgrade
weimer tactics
weimer underrepresented items
the big picture 177a

and what other mods are required

thanks

[Chevalier]

Best info Here.

Oh, and don't use weimer ease of use, this is much better! Much of Tactics is already in BP.

thats a link to a forum what exactly is better than ease of use

so tactics isnt compatable with BP or?

EDIT in the big world instructions it says i need to add th "BG! MISSING files" to the bg1 main directory but i cant find them

can anyone link them?

Edited by vallik, 09 April 2009 - 08:56 PM.

No, Tactics isn't compatible with BP except for a few install choices. I suggest following the guide provided for you in the previous link. The first post of that link contains another link to a at present the best install order for you to use in installing your mega-mod. There you can find answers to which install choices are possible when choosing both Tactics and BP. Good luck.

big world installer = BPV177a?

ive looked at that link and all i can make out of it are the instructions on getting the big world installer doing after Bg 1 and 2 have been installed and patched

nowhere can i find a list of what it and isnt compatable

as i dont have bg 2 installed atm (i haveto go and pick it up soon) i cant being installing or running the installer ( if the installer has any of the answers im looking for)

Step by Step Instructions

install bg 1 patch it...

install bg2 patch it...

extract all mods into folder

start big world bat

thats basically all i get from that site

the instructions are very vague in regards to what and what u cant add again (unless the installer itself tells you this all)

as for tactics the reply i got linked me to another forum i am not sure what exactly the post was directing me to

[Chevalier]

Download this .pdf file.

[vallik]

ok that pdf has what i was looking for

ok so tactics isnt compatable does anyone know which encounters from tactics arnt included in TBP?

i quite like that mod and if ther is a fair bit of it not compatable/already included i might just go with the weimer mods + fredoms reign and TDD again

i think you ment to link me http://www.gibberlin...loads/index.php

so the bg1 and bg2 tweak packs are compatable and better than weimer ease of use?

oh i have TDD103full.exe which is 300meg do i need to download the TDD1212 which is only 107meg or will my version do

Read, Read, & Read the .pdf.

Also Here.

[vallik]

ok this seems WAY to complicated just to play BG1 in the bg2 engine i think ill just go back to my weimer + TDD + FR + ROV game and play thru bg1 as bg1

big world installer = BPV177a?

No, the BP v1.77a is a tactical AI enhancing mod that build on the base of the original game, it also has encounter components...

Now the 'traditional BP mods', is a list of mods, that include: TDD, SoS, BP, CtB(+ CtB chores), RoT, TS-BP

OK that .pdf has what i was looking for
ok so tactics isn't compatible does anyone know which encounters from tactics aren't included in the BWP?

The info is in the .pdf file, on page 104... now, as you can see, all of the components are on gray color, so they might cause bugs with the rest of the 'traditional BP mods', as they require the expert install... so you have a choice, you either play with the Tactics mods, or the BWP, not both, unless you know which mods are compatible and which aren't(and how this is achieved), in which case you are welcomed to the BWP team, as an expert witness... or at least I would take you as one. I am not a member of the team.

so the bg1 and bg2 tweak packs are computable and better than weimer ease of use?

In case you use the 'traditional BP mods', use the Tweak pack for BG2, and yes, it's better than Weimers EoU, and more up to date... as Weimer isn't doing upkeep anymore at all.

hmm ok so im missing the actual installer for everything

that is prolly why that one had no instructions on it

[Jarno Mikkola]

hmm ok so im missing the actual installer for everything

Well, the BWP auto-installer is here. The instructions for the installer are in the .pdf file, but also here(and this is the latest updated one too, and it's the bug thread also etc.).

ok ive got a question not install related

this mod allows you to play bg1 in the bg2 engine with kits ect what happens if u pick the katana as a weapon proficency do u haveto run around without proficency in weapons until SOA or are ther some mods to scatter those weapon not found in bg1 throught the game?

EDIT: ok i got the installer and the readme had details on how it works and makes the links given earlier in the thread easier to understand

thanks for bearing with me lol

im sure ill be posted quite a few times over the next few days tho as i try an get it all working

i remember i tried installing this like 2 years ago and got to start the game with the kits ect but whenever i talked to anyone in candlekeep all the text was garbage and just gave up and played thru BG2 with some mods

Edited by vallik, 10 April 2009 - 02:41 AM.

[Chevalier]

Keep Reading! Yes there is a mod that adds things from BG2 to BG1 BGTTweaks. Here is a link page for all the mods

There are store modifying mods that add Katanas etc. weapons in to the BGT(BG1 part) shops. The BGT Tweaks adds them to Taemon at least. There are also be other mods, I do not remember which.

I remember I tried installing this like 2 years ago and got to start the game with the kits ect but whenever i talked to anyone in candlekeep all the text was garbage and just gave up and played thru BG2 with some mods

Well, the BWP barely reminds the BP anymore, as it's really much more easier to install, but you might miss a whole lot of info.

[vallik]

ok i got the installer running and got to the point wher it wants me to add in txtmusic ( as well as a few others but i got those)

as for txt music the link on this site has a folder with a bunch of oggs in it whereas the pdf file says ther is supposed to be a setup-txtmusic.exe in ther also

where can i get the exe?

EDIT: nevermind i only downloaded the english pack not the actual txtmusic

ok i can thru the installer it took about 45 mins said it installed everything but when i run baldurs gate 1 or 2 ther seems to be no changes at all

im assuming something went wrong......

[Chevalier]

Can you post your WeiDu.log file? Copy & past it?

[vallik]

ok it seems to have worked for the basic bg 1 game in bg2 engine but iinstalled TDD and none of the kits are avalible how do i know what was actually installed?

OK sorry it is working properly (i was expecting a new splash screen or something like that like TDD does) but i didnt notice the part about the Kits in the pdf file

how do i actually install Said kits ( i only really want one kit from TDD the dragon slayer)

i can see something about a mod Kit Remover but nothing about adding them
