That's the error I'm getting after creating a new character, latest BWS using the "Recommended" loadout. Was there something else I needed to do after BWS setup and BiG World Install.bat?

I didn't even realize that existed, thanks. I went with "Baldur's Gate 2 / BiG World Project (BWP): Install.bat only" on my first try, should I have picked "Baldur's Gate 2 / Baldur's Gate Trilogy (BGT) Customization" instead?

Yep.
Nearly everyone shoul...

OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

hey,
was installing BWS. I've got a few tips:

> 'Goo the disembodied npc' should go under the 'smaller bg2 npcs'. It has only a single banter. Or maybe you could add a 'troll mod' alert if you wish to leave it in the current place "bg2 npc mods".

> weimer soulafein npc if I remember well is an 'unbalanced' mod rich of tactical fights. So I guess you should under it under the tactical content.

> The spell revision 4 versions includes all the other fixes from what I know, but you'd better ask Demiurgus. I'm talking about
' Mirror image fix' and all the other stuff under Spell revisions. From what I know, just installing the main mod is enough. No need for it to be overwritten by other stuff.


> I'll be back tomorrow with more, because now I gotta quit


Low hung brow, dazed look on your face..... It appears that you are correct, my friend. You are indeed a complete imbecile.

If you mean that those components have been merged with the main component, that's not the case.  They are still separate.

@ anybody working on BWS

 

Pls, remove "kreso's selection". This I never picked, I don't know the mechanics of BWS or how this got to be, but these aren't mods I selected for a pre-set install. I've browsed it and seen it contains  crap which I wouldn't reccomend to anybody. 

Whoever want's a reccomendation for a 1st playthrough from me - install everything available. Next time you'll be smarter. :P

@ Alien

 

I don't remember exactly what I sent you, but I surely didn't pick "Big Picture" and I surely didn't skip neither non-BP Ascension nor Refinements.

So two things: first, I made a pull request on bitbucket, so check it out when you can. Also, the .TP2 files for the pre-release versions of Fishing For Trouble and cdtweaks wouldn't extract correctly (maybe they were placed in the wrong folder?) so I had to move them (manually) out to where all the other TP2 files are. I would have fixed that on bitbucket, but I don't know how, so I just did it for my own installation.

.tp2 files don't have to be moved to the game folder. (I assume that's what you mean by "where all the other .tp2 files are.)

These days, generally, each mod has a mod folder, and the .tp2 file should be named identically to the mod folder and placed inside that mod folder. Some few mods have their .tp2 files at the same level as the mod folder, but that is old/busted practice and should not be encouraged...

EDIT - why does this forums software suck so bad when I use my phone??? Removing the BBCode and adding HTML I never typed, and then not even parsing/displaying the results of that HTML?? I hate it so much

Hey there,

since I lost my private BGT project which I had been working on for almost a year I want to ask you about the state of BWS BGEE & BG2EE modding.

 

First and foremost, should I wait until Dragonspear is released or do you guys think that I could start modding the EE versions now? I don't really care about Trilogy anymore because both games now use the same engine and I suppose that it will take at least another year to have every important mod ready for a BGEET version with Dragonspear included.

 

Also, is it possible to create seperate megamods for BGEE and BG2EE or are there still too many mod conflicts / errors that hasn't been sorted out with BWS for EE yet?

 

Would be nice if someone here who has been playing with BGT and is now playing BG1EE and BG2EE with mods installed (a lot of them) could share some light.

what you call BGEET exists, but is called EET.

EET works perfectly, but will be "officially" out when Dragonspear will be out (few days to go :) ).

About your other questions, sorry, I am not a modder but Beamdog's forum could be a good spot to start .

Vendedor DLAN - English Textpack patch updated.

 

Unzip it inside BiG World Textpack ENGLISH, Vendedor_DLAN subfolder (overwrite the existing patch) before installing.

 

This one should hopefully work. Anyone performing a new install please let me know if it works.

 

Uploading it here as long as the new Textpack ENGLISH is released.

Hello!

Any news about Eternal Imoen mod? I read there was some pending compatibility verification.

In your next BWS update, can you please remove the various parts of the Sandrah mod - it does not exist anymore for BGT (it will come out in revised form when EET will be released).

various parts or entirely ?

Means entirely, as all the parts are depending on each other. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello, I tried installing BGT today, got errors:

 

ERROR: illegal 2-byte read from offset 61562 of 506-byte file CDPP26.ITM
ERROR: [CDPP26.ITM] -> [override/CDPP26.ITM] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("CDPP26.ITM: read out of bounds"))
ERROR: Failure("CDPP26.ITM: read out of bounds")
Change Magically Created Weapons to Zero Weight (Tweaks Anthology (pre-release)) was not installed due to errors.

 

I continued, then

 

ERROR: illegal 2-byte read from offset 61562 of 506-byte file
ERROR: illegal 2-byte read from offset 61562 of 506-byte file
ERROR: [CDPP26.ITM] -> [override/CDPP26.ITM] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("Read out of bounds"))
ERROR: Failure("Read out of bounds")
Initialise mod (all other components require this) (Sword Coast Stratagems) was not installed due to errors.

 

then i quit.

 

I used reccomendation preselection without any changes. I'm using GOG versions of BG1 and BG2. Thanks.

 

P.S. Also name of archive of "Tweaks Anthology (pre-release)" downloaded from link doest't match name used by BWS, so you need to rename it manually during installation. (Not much of a problem though).

It hasn't been enabled in the master, as you can go look, the EET isn't even officially out. As that will most likely be after two weeks.
