I never wanted to do it all again from scratch, so that's why you can pause, fix some files and try again on errors or install the mod that didn't install yourself. I mean, I did a few installs for testing and I had to figure out one or two issues, so starting again from some point was a given (to me).

Does Bws support TUTU? These days I'm considering the chance to try it.

[dabus]

What do you mean? You ever seen it in there? No.

Can you edit the BWS to use it? Could be done. Don't know about some mods dependencies/compatibility though, so I wouldn't go and figure that out now.

 

If you want to, you could trick the BWS. Add a pause in the selection menu before BGT gets installed (see the help on the right side how to do that)

When you hit the point during the install, BWS stalls / get's paused. Exit the BWS. Install TUTU manually. Then edit the WeiDU.log and append the line

~SETUP-BGT.TP2~ #4 #0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core: Dummy

Resume the install and the BWS should skip the install because the mod is already listed as installed in the WeiDU.log.

 

I really don't know if the additional line will cause errors / other mods use the WeiDU.log to check if BGT or TuTu is installed.

 

Another option instead of editing the WeiDU.log would be to edit the BiG World Setup\config\BWP\game.ini. Remove the lines with a :BGT(-) at the end from the [Purge]-section/block. Make sure you remove all BGT-entries from the [Connections]-section.

Also remove the line BGT=0 from the [Save] and [Current]-section and add it to [DeSave]. That way, the BGT mod is listed as not selected while keeping the other mods that depend on it -- just a thought though while writing now, so not tested but chances are high that it should work.

[Sergio]

Thanks a lot Dabus. Sometimes I wonder why don't you make a huge first post with all FAQ, so you don't have to answer these questions ten thousand times.

[dabus]

Nobody wanted to use tutu until 5:32 AM... 

And if I respond nowadays, it's also a bit to kill some time. If quiet or alien want to, they can add my responses to the FAQ that ships with the BWS.

One major source of issues is that forums.gibberlings3.net has become gibberlings3.net/forums

but those obviously aren't the only problems.

Yes, the old php-links do not work anymore. Click on download on the g3 main page and select your packages...

Or try to search and replace the urls in the BiG World Setup\Config\BWP\Mod.ini

So, i am having some trouble with BWS Standard installation unmodified.

 

I guess everyone knows that RPG Dungeon is just gone, and therefore none of their mods are around with the exception of a few here: http://america.iegmc.net/rpgdungeon/

 

The error: The file "bg1ub_v13-2_140924.zip" needed for the mod "BG1 Unfinished
Business" is missing.   keeps coming up, but pocketplane only seems to want to give out bg1ub_v13-2_141026.zip. here: http://forums.pocket...ic,29184.0.html

 

Next, BWS says: The file "Chantelame v5.rar" needed for the mod "Chantelame" is missing. However, i can only find a download on a French sight that has v6 here: http://www.baldursga...ntelame-v6.html

 

The file "stratagemsV28 fix.rar" needed for the mod "Sword Coast Stratagems"
is missing. I can get the mod, but Gibberlings3 does not have the fix. Should i get rid of the base mod?

 

The file "AceAltMusic-v1.exe" needed for the mod "BG2 Alternate
Soundtrack" is missing. Gibberlings3 only seems to have a Lite version for Windows

 

The file "D2pal v0.5.rar" needed for the mod "Diablo2 Kit Pack for BG2 - The
Paladin" is missing. This one points here to Spellhold, where i can only find v0.7. The same is true for Barbarian.

 

The file "bg2fixpack-v10.exe" needed for the mod "BG2 Fixpack" is missing. This one is weird. I have the mod straight from G3, but neither the BWSetup nor install.bat recognizes it and installation fails. Final output is:

The following mod(s) could not be downloaded:

Allison One-Day NPC: The Mod itself (AllisonV18.exe)
RPG Dungeon Kit Pack: The Mod itself (RPG_KPV1.zip)

*  Cannot proceed installation without this essential mod.

Please fetch the mods that are marked as essential first.
Aborting the installation.

 

I can do without the other stuff, i suppose, but the thing with the BG2 Fixpack is catastrophic. Do i need to install it manually or something. i am quite inexperienced with the process. Any advise would be appreciated.

 

[Vandervecken]

I have a good chunk of those saved up from a download earlier this year.  I have everything from RPG Dungeon that was in my list above, and everything else except:

Vendedor DLAN: The Mod itself (VendedorDLAN_v6.1.7z)

BG1 Unfinished Business: The Mod itself (bg1ub_v13-2_140924.zip)
Polytweak: The Mod itself (Polytweak_v2.0.rar)**
Chantelame: The Mod itself (Chantelame v5.rar)
Fade NPC: The Mod itself (Fade v4.0.zip)

 

I have earlier versions of Fade, Chantelame, and BG1 UB.

About the Fixpack, I don't know why your download failed, I succeeded in getting it yesterday.

[Vandervecken]

I just tried again, and I have managed to obtain everything except:

Polytweak: The Mod itself (Polytweak_v2.0.rar)**
BG1 Unfinished Business: The Mod itself (bg1ub_v13-2_140924.zip)
Chantelame: The Mod itself (Chantelame v5.rar)
Sword Coast Stratagems: Additional mods (stratagemsV28 fix.rar)

 

and AceAltMusic-v1.exe, for which the G3 link seems to be dead.

[Vax]

That was me above. Forgot to log in. My question is, can i install the BG2 Fixpack manually before i run BWSetup and do the continue allways option? Or would it be out of sequence and fail anyway?

Edited by Vax, 08 December 2014 - 12:28 PM.

[Vandervecken]

How many bytes does your version of the Fixpack have?

[Sergio]

holy shit, avoid making double posts, and just edit,>.< . The only way to get all those links is download them yourself. Also you are kinda unlucky because the day you tried G3 was down

Dabus I've got a question becuase I'm a lazy motherfucker. Given the fact that I've got the new version of IR and Spell revision, if I force BWS to use those archive, will the BWP fix be applied to the new version of IR and SR? How can I avoid that? Should I just remove the IR/SR part from the fixpack?

Thanks for help

[dabus]

Patches get applied if the original files are fitting to the patch. Else the patch gets rejected.
The patch-utility searches for some lines of text at a certain position of the file and if it's there -> patch it.

If the fix is a files that's just copied, it will still get applied.

And yes, non existing folders in the fix/trim/text-pack result in *drum roll*... no patching. So somewhere between the finished unpacking process and the start of the real install, you can remove those folders if you want to.

[Sergio]

Great to know. Nice job.

[Vax]

Ok i have aquired many of the files that i could not find.Thanks Vandervecken. BWSetup now returns:

I am using the Big World Setup.vbs dated 11/25/2014 from the BigWorldSetup-bigworldsetup-70e1e7a4a5dd package. Here's the rub, i have both bg2fixpack-v10.exe (3.53 MB (3,708,033 bytes) and bg2_tweaks-v16.exe (4.83 MB (5,064,974 bytes) in my downloads folder. Does anyone know why the installer would not recognize them, or if it is ok to install them manually before running the BWsetup using the continue always option? or any other solution? Any help would be much appreciated, because the setup keeps aborting over and over.
