It's actually in the latest BWS update already, you just need to select it from the customizing menu when you make your compilation:

i'm aware of that, but when does it install it and does it get installed without any conflicts?

 

By the way, does the item revisions hotfixes do anything about the issues with the shields and helmets?

It's like you can't try and find out ... or ? As in; What's the trouble in finding it out yourself ?

The BiG World Textpack GERMAN contains a Setup-Turambar_fixes_tweaks.tp2 which is bound to fail during installation due to the line

 

   ~Turambar_fixes_tweaks/German/setup-%WEIDU_OS%.tra~

 

While the folders for italian and russian language do provide an OS-dependent tra-file

those for german and english do not. It's just setup.tra.

Well, its that time of the year when its time to make a new BWP install . Thank you very much for the new version, Leonardo!

 

The install went smoothly, with just two exceptions. The first one is just a confusion made by one of the starting settings, at:

 

"Do you want to pause at mods with several components and select them manually?"...

What do I write here? No? Or just press enter if I don't want to select them manually. Its not clear, but pressing enter seemed to work fine, like the other options which enter worked as a skip. Maybe a little clarification here would be helpful.

 

The second problem was an error during the install, at the BG2 Tweak stage, ERROR Installing [Enemy items shatter], rolling back to previous state...

 

I've uploaded the setup BG2 Tweak Debug...  Setup-BGTTweak.Debug   3.18MB   257 downloads

I can't get the "Recommended BWP" install of Icewind Dale 2 to go through without immediately running into "Checking iwd1tra: The entry for this mod is faulty." to show up. Not sure what is wrong. Everything seems to be downloaded correctly. Methinks it's not supposed to be in the recommended installation. Also, I seemed to have "m"oved every file that I didn't need and I absolutely cannot find them. No message appeared telling me where abouts they were moved; I'm pretty sure they were deleted.

No big rush, though, I still have Icewind Dale 1 to run through first. Knowing myself better than anyone else, it'll take many months.
Oh, and this is my first post. Hip hip hooray.

edit. this is using bws_20140524

would there be any problems in using the latest versions of a mod? I want to reinstall BWP, and also make sure to use the latest version of this mod: http://www.shsforums...ation-project/.  Will I run into any problems? The latest version adds encounters during the planar sphere quest and some areas related to the Slayer Change dreams.

I guess this is as good a spot as any for my problem with BiG World Project V14.

 

A new mega-mod game which is similar to the game that installs and runs with BiG World Project V13.  The difference is V13 has SCS and SCSII.  V14 has SCS v28.

 

Here are the error messages at the end of the install:

 

Ding0's Tweak Pack was not installed.
The system cannot find the path specified.

 

Drizzt Saga was not installed.
The system cannot find the path specified.

 

'Sith' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. [2 times]

 

NPC Tweak was not installed.
The system cannot find the path specified.

 

SP Items was not installed.
The system cannot find the path specified.

 

Tortured Souls TS-BP was not installed.
The system cannot find the path specified.

 

 

 

BIG World Install.bat V14 was modified similarly to BIG World Install.bat V13 which works.

 

When I start the game, TobEX Console opens.  Works normally until the screen appears where you choose between Baldur's Gate and Throne of Bhaal.  I choose 'new game' and screen turns black.  TobEX Console stays open and music continues to play.

 

Perhaps some typos in the coding.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Tom

I have to say that I was forced to make a new install, because there seems to be some sort of incompatibility with the GOG BG2 version.

 

When casting some spells, the game slowed down to a level that made the game unplayable. So I had to return to my old five CD's of BG2 to make a new install, which works perfectly.

I had the same problem with GOG BG2 version, lagged like crazy, in game and in menu , using old backup of 5 cd-s it was lag-free.

Maybe you can change the manual to add/remove this info.

Thank you! Good Job!

Could be that someone used a different version of the game to base their mod install on and a file is missing form the other while the one has it and it causes the good old sounds lag problem that you probably can only fix by desolating everything slightly related and continue without the missing file. Yes, the game is checking your game library file and your override folder for a reference 30 times per second of that one file that is not there, of course it lags.

Are you both serious? I admit that I've played with SCSII but it lagged a lot, no matter what I did, with SCSII - and now you tell me it could be because I do not use the 5cd version?

It's doubtfully as simple as what they say... say you don't biff and use the SCS... the scripting is so huge in game that it can't load fast enough and thus causes the lag, as by default the scripts are read 15 times per second, that's 30 MB/s for one creature. Or you have two or 100 gnolls in the screen and have not disabled the ambient sounds(as there can be a sound file missing), and you have tons of lag cause of it. Or you have a so called virus protection program inspecting your entire hard drive and infecting it while you ignore it.
ONE HAS TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM and then fix it.

I've tried with many different computers, even with the recommended BWS install and I was never and I mean never able to have a lag-less experience if I had SCSII installed, no matter which guide I followed (I'm referring to yours, in particular) or which pc I was using. I now wonder what's the cause of the issue.

K, let's utilize this thread and see, put the weidu.log's content to it, then the baldur.ini's content to it and then if all else fails, install the LSTest mod and run the game and see what it gives you, yeah, the game will be unplayable while the mod is installed, but so what.
