I've installed BWP, but there's many mods that haven't been installed. How can I check, wich mods are missing, if I skipped list at the end of installation? Can I install missing mods manually, or they should be installed in a specific order?

Go through your BWP folder and look for any mod that has an .exe but not a .DEBUG file. Those haven't been installed. You can install them manually in the order listed here. If you've already installed biffing though, you might get some serious lag depending on how many mods there are.

Same thing happened to my last two installs. Random mods all of them on both installs, though most are larger ones (SCS2, Tweaks, etc.) near the end that got skipped (not all though, so it's not like it just stopped at some point). I think it's some weirdness with the installer and/or WeiDU and slow drives or something.

Go through your BWP folder and look for any mod that has an .exe but not a .DEBUG file.

Ah, it might be easier to just open the WeiDU.log with Notepad, and compare that list to the list of mods he wanted to install...

If he has such a list still anywhere. I don't know if the BWP saves what it was *told* to do vs. what it actually did (the WeiDU.log) but maybe it needs to do some post-install validation, not just pre-install.

The big world installer debug log will list everything that ran thru the cmd box while he was running the .bat. He could open that in notepad and see the modlist at the beginning and end of his install process again.

Jarno Mikkola, Miloch and Darpaek, thanks a lot for your answers! They are very thorough and explained a lot. Nice to post a screenshot as well. Thanks again!
This will make it possible for me to "rar" my "modded" installation and sending it to my friend. Hopefully it will work lan, Maybe not. Well I will see about that anyway
Baldurs Gate genre has a helfull and great modding community.

Well, if it's exact copy(so you archive the whole game directory, and extract it to the same exact folder as the archive was made from) it will work, at least in theory.
Yes, we all try to be helpful... in our fights.

Don't forget to modify the [Alias]-section if needed and start the game with bgmain.exe, not with the baldur.exe (at least if you have not installed the game or imported some registry-keys).

[Jarno Mikkola]

one more thing - Is there any no-cd compatible with the BWP?

Well, there is one in the NEJ2v42b.exe... it's an expert mod, but you can use the noCD.exe without installing the mod itself, and it should work.

I just want to say, I havent played BG1 or II in years. I found this site and have only recently got around to installing the BWP, and im literally bowled over in total awe for the work thats been put into this and truly impressed by the pure excellence of the project as a whole, what a awesome way to revitalize what imo is one of the great classics.
Ive not really had a chance to properly play through it yet but from what i have seen, it is jaw dropping. So Thank You to all the people in this community who have had a hand in this project or any of the mods, black isle would be proud

Also, so far its all been working pretty trouble free. minor issue with the wild mage npc, but nothing exceptionally troublesome. so a success story

Hi all!
I have a problem - BG running too slow and choppy.
I tried to change settings but nothing seems to work.
strange thing is that game runs normally at the very begining but after clearing nashkel mines it becomes too slow
other strange thing is that this glitches somhow connected with the items in my inventory - if I drop all containers (bags of holding, boxes for scrolls etc) it starts to run faster.

Looking forward for some advices

Try to setup "Generalized Biffing". I think that problem is 'too large size Override folder'

Look in your WeiDU.log for a GENERALIZED_BIFFING line at (almost) the end (it doesn't matter if the folder is there, it doesn't do anything unless it's installed )

[Lollorian]

Ok then Have you tried everything in point #5 of the awesome megamod FAQ??

[Miloch]

This can also happen if you container capacity is set too high. Unique Containers should fix this, unless you install other mods that mess with capacity after it like Mix-Mod and BG2 Tweaks.
