I'm wondering if there was a specific reason to use Item Revisions armor reworkings and not Full plate and packing steel's or refinements? Can I install Full plate and Packing steel safely after everything is already done?

Well, generally the Item Revision make few adjustments to the already existing item, so the AC can move a point or two.

While the Full plate mod totally revices the whole armor system... making heavier armors easiers to to hit with bad AC, but that it takes less damage, plate armors have infact a 50%+ damage resistance. Depending on your play stile, you might wish one or the other, but with Full plate mod and plate armors and you'll definetly need a good cleric to support your.

I just noticed that Full Plate and Packing Steel isn't listed in the BWP install.bat. I'm not sure how to add the line so that the install bat automatically installs it. Would this work:

%IFS%fullplate%S%fullplate%L%0%SK% 1 | %M%

?

@ new(Mike)

the version of " The Bigg Quest Pack " is 2.02.
when i use BWP5 OR BWP6, there isn't such error messages.

We have checked this and have not such errors, so we think this causes it:
~SETUP-ROT.TP2~ #0 #1 // Region Of Terror Kit Pack
If you want to install kits, do it directly before "Level 1 NPCs" in the installation order, but you do it on your own risk, because at the moment we install no kits and it is untested.



@ Jarno

I don't think so, as the Widescreen mods WeiDU.exe should give exactly same pid value as the normal v210 WeiDU.exe .

All right, thanks for the information.

Unfortunately, the mod is not tested with BGT at the moment and we had not the time to test it with the whole megamod. We'll try it in the future, so I can't give you an advice, now. If you install this mod you do it on your own risk.
erik (the modauthor) has much done in case for mod compatibilities and if you want, you can help him to test his mod with BGT.

O.K. I see this mod is poor packed. All other wrong packed mods will be extracted correctly with the BWS, but Vildra is different in this case. Thanks for your information. This issue will be fixed soon.
You need only to put the files from this subfolder into the BG2 main directory before you start the Install.bat.

Hey guys, when am i supposed to install kits if i use the big world install.bat? Can i install them after the whole installation has ended?

[Jarno Mikkola]

Can i install them after the whole installation has ended?

Yes.
Just make sure that if a mod that the BWP has already installed has a kit component, you won't reinstall the already installed components(so you need to skip them) or you'll destroy your install totally.

Hi,

I got a problem .... now I am at the point where generalized biff mod is doing his work and I opened "BGII - SoA\override" folder and there I found another "override" folder with wav's of CespyAudioV1.zip(maybe a bad unpack of BWS) ... what will it happen if those files are not recognized from that folder during game?
CespyAudioV1.zip is for this mod :
13.22. Weimer's Item Upgrade v37 [DEU/ENG]

After install is done, to solve this, I think I can move the wav's from "BGII - SoA\override\override" folder to "BGII - SoA\override" and they remain unbiffed

Edited by neutrowave, 07 May 2009 - 07:01 AM.

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

I can confirm neutrowave. The same thing exists in my install. (about the extra override inside the override)

Edit: Also in my new BWP v7 install, some characters like Gorion, Elminster, Sarevok have no portraits. Is that intended? Because i remember from my previous install that they had some awesome portraits...

Here's my Weidu:  Weidu.log   65.79K   280 downloads I think that BGT NPC Portraits v1.6
is not installed. But I don't know the reason. I have done nothing more or less than following the automated install. (tactic)

O.K., thanks for your and Silindes report about that. I've tested it, too and it is a little issue with the BWS. This issue will be fixed soon.

Yes, this is at the moment the easiest and correct working solution.

Yes, this portraits adds "BGT NPC Portraits" and if you install the mod, you should have the portraits.

I think that "BGT NPC Portraits v1.6" is not installed. But I don't know the reason. I have done nothing more or less than following the automated install. (tactic)

Can you attach your "BiG World Debug.txt" and if you have the "Setup-NSCPortraits.DEBUG"? (Please pack it before attaching.)

Is it possible to use the widescreen mod more than once to change the resolution i chose at the beginning of the installation or would it ruin everything?
If so, can i use it again even if i have started a new game?

Depending on how you have set upped the game, ahh yes, but... only if it's the last mod that has been installed. Or you'll probably make a mess the whole installation process. So open the WeiDU.log with Notepad, and if you see the Widescreen mod at the very last line at the bottom, you can reset the resolution by restarting the setup-widescreen.exe and reinstall it.

I'm not sure where I can find BiG World Debug.txt but I found Setup-NSCPortraits.DEBUG :  SETUP_NSCPORTRAITS.rar   36.23K   262 downloads

If you could please direct me about the location of BiG World Debug.txt . I hope it hasn't dissapeared during the BiG World Clean-Up.

If you could please direct me about the location of BiG World Debug.txt . I hope it hasn't dissapeared during the BiG World Clean-Up.

Well, it should be in the game directory...

Now, from the debug log, I see this:

CONTAIN/SETUP-CONTAIN.TP2 0 10 Installed

So there could be something wrong within the mods coding, for example, the coding can might have changed, or your file isn't in the presumed directory, aka the Mönchs.bmp being in: <insert the game directory>/NSC Portraits/TDB/

I have informed the author, about this problem.

@Jarno
Thanks Jarno! Do you mean the one in BWS directory? I cannot find such a file in BGII-SoA directory. Maybe the BiG World Clean-Up has moved it?
Anyway, in case i found the right one here it is:  BiG_World_Debug.txt   789bytes   319 downloads

@White Agnus
Thanks for your Help! So I guess that explains the case!

yes, the BiG World Clean-Up will remove BiG_World_Debug.txt.
BiG_World_Debug.txt will be found in BGII-SoA directory.
if you want to see the BiG_World_Debug.txt,you should copy it from BGII-SoA directory to another place before you run "the BiG World Clean-Up".

i tried to install "Region Of Terror Kit " just before "Level 1 NPCs" in the installation order,but the error message is still there.

when i tried to move " "Ding0?s Quest Pack" and "Sword Coast Stratagems" to the "BG1 RULES AND TWEAKS ",there isn't this error message.

thus i want to know what the difference that d0quest and scs is installed in the "BG1 RULES " or in the "BG2 RULES" is.

thank you very much.

O.k., that is not the behaviour which we want of the "BiG World Clean-Up.bat". Sounds funny: We delete our own "BiG World Debug.txt".

Until we have corrected this, please follow new(Mike)'s advice.

Sorry, I don't know, because we have not such an error. In which language do you play BG? Perhaps this is the reason. But you should go on with the installation you have now. Like Jarno and I told you before, this is not a game breaking issue.

That's probably:

If you want to install kits, do it directly before "Level 1 NPCs" NPC component in the installation order, but you do it on your own risk, because at the moment we install no kits and it is untested.

This is cause, if for example you wish to give Jaheira an RoT Kit, you need install it before you assign it to the NPC.

Recap on the way I see this all should be handled:
So you let the BWP do it's job first, and when it's done, you install any possible Kit adding mods you don't wish to use on your own PC but do wish to use on an NPC, and then you restart the setup-level1npcs.exe and skip the components that have already been installed and what's left is the NPC choices, you modify all the NPCs you wish, and then after that, you use the Kit Remover, cause you then can install Kits for your Player Character as long as you won't need to reinstall, and after that's done, you start the game.
Or actually you may wish to install the "GUI", "Widescreen" and "BGT Music" mods, but that's a choice you have to make, as you have to edit the "BiG World Install.bat" for that.
