Under [Alias], you have lines that start with :
HD0:=
CD1:=
CD2:=
CD3:=
CD4:=
CD5:=

Check that these lines are well suited with where you install the game.
in particular, check that the line beginning with CD5:= is the path where 25movies.bif is (under Movies directory).

Make sure Baldur.ini looks like that
[Alias]
HD0:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\
CD2:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\
CD3:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\
CD4:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\
CD5:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\;C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\CD5\

And copy CD5/Movies from BG1 to movies ong BG2

And copy CD5/Movies from BG1 to movies ong BG2

Are you sure of your example? shouldn't it be CD1:=C:\BWS\BGII - SoA\CD1\ and so on ?

If any of you are worried about the direction that this thread is taking, the recommended mod lists will be seperate from the noob+ guide. Just so you know, and knowing is half the battle.
At this point, I'm not really doing much Baldur's Gate related. More focused on Skyrim modding and the Born of Legend tabletop roleplaying game. Don't expect much activity here.

Ok, I'll admit I missed that post :D
Maybe I was blinded by stupid incoherent rage :lol: (no for the record I wasn't - twas just me being lazy again :P)

In other news, a link to William Imm's modded install.bat in the OP would be great (atleast untll the BWPInstallpack updates) :cheers:

The link for the ToTSC-patch in the guide goes to version 5521, whereas apparently everywhere else version 5512 gets mentioned. Is this relevant?

The BiG World Installpack copies over it's up to date WeiDU - no need to download ya own version.

BG1 Mising Files, well, you'd need a difrerent download depending on your language:

English: http://www.shsforums...attach_id=15886
German: http://kerzenburg.ba...oadlatest&id=10
Spanish: http://www.shsforums...-files-spanish/

Hopefully, that should help.

OK,so i installed BG,TotSC, BG2 and ToB and copied all files from a.) Big World Install Pack to i.) Baldur's Gate Trilogy.
What's the next step? Do i have to download mods which i want? Because the list with mods on the first page doesn't work.Can someone show me the list and where to get them? Or when I start Big World Install.bat then i choose to pick which mods i want?So my main question is: where do i get to choose and check those grey "s" and green "r" mods?Does when I start Install.bat or i need to find them manually?
Thanks a lot in advance and can't wait to play this greatest game again!

Can you give information what country you are based and what provider are you using?? Can you get on to your provider and get to the bottom of this?? It's strange cause kerzenburg only provides links to legitally hosted mods. And as where to get them, they are hosted by several sites where they are maintained, shs, pocketplane, blackwyrm, gibberlings3, sorcerers, igi, . Google your best friend. Regards

Most Brazilian users also can`t access the site as they blocked all access from veloxzone... Velox is one of the biggest ISPs here covering all major states and cities. They just blocked a few million users from acessing the site if they have no idea how to use a proxy or vpn...
