Hello Leonardo, Hello @all, I'm using your BGT-Tool for more than a decade now and, on first hand, want to say: Thank you, mate! You're the man! ;) But.... this time, first time in 3 years i think, i was not able to install the mods with the Installer :( Everything went fine (unzipping, choosing Language and mods, admin-permission, conflicts, etc...) but after that: freeze! The last Info Windows gives to me is the amount of my RAM and Virtual Memory. And thats it, even after 30 minutes.... and i have to end the Window. :(

Hi All;

 

Some suggestions with getting the 'preview' ( [1] Display the preview? (strongly recommended) and a typo in 'individual.bat'.

 

Place a PAUSE statement before the line 'Call ".\%BWIPI%\close1.bat' in individual.bat and your preview will pause after Section 20.  Gives you time to examine the preview for errors. 

 

In Section 18 find the following:

 

%IFNS%btweak.exe (
                    Call %EINSTI% btweak_lite "0 1 2"
                    findstr /I /M "AoE_Restr" %CON%>nul
                    if not errorlevel 1 (
                                       Call %EINSTI% btweak_lite "3"
                    ) else (
                                       IFS%btweak_lite.exe %TXT% | findstr @418 | Call %C% >> %E%
                    )
                    Call %EINSTI% btweak_lite "4 5 6"
)
 
Note the line starting with IFS is missing a "%".  It should start with %IFS%.
 
TOM

@Telperion
That is really strange. At the moment I have no idea what is the cause for this.
In the SoA folder you will finde a file BWP_IP.log. This file reports the already completed tasks. Wath is the last line there?
I also need to know the last lines from the batch file where the program stops. At this stage you can start the install.bat without worries. It will only start there where you have stoped it.


@tomkaz
Thank you for your report. I will update the installpack next weekend.

Hi All:

 

When I went to download Unfinished Business v27rc1, the file was not available.  In its place, was Unfinished Business v27.  This does not install with BiG World Installpack c18.2.1.  Is Unfinished Business v27rc1 still available.  If not, can I alter BiG World Installpack.bat to install Unfinished Business v27.

Hi All:

 

I had three games fail.  The installation goes very well.  The problem is that I can start the game, but I cannot save the game. I do not know how far I could proceed without saving the game.  Any suggestions?

 

I did have a problem with aTweaks v453.  The windows version had some malware and caused crashes when I tried to make another game.  I think Microsoft Security Essentials got rid of the malware because I can now download the windows version of aTweaks v453 which I could not do when it had the malware.  I am now using the platform independent version and it loaded aTweaks 453 in the last game.

 

Even with the good version of aTweaks 453, I cannot save the game.  I have 245 mods in my megamod game and all but five do not install.

 

Tom

BWP Installpack is now v18.2.2


@Telperion
There was a wrong jump label that is fixed now. The Pogramm should work now correctly.
I am astonished about your data "You have 1 GB RAM installed." This numeric value is read from your computer. Is it true? Is it no typo?


@tomkaz
I have added a pause after the preview.
Occasionally I also noticed that I could not save. I thought it was a conflict with my old computer. However I could save shortly afterwards.


When I leave the game I get the message: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if solution is available". Nevertheless I can continue the game where I saved it. I don't have any idea what causes this problem. This does not harm, but it is annoying.

Hi Leonardo:
 
Thank you for all your help.  I especially like your WeiDU.Log.
 
Earlier, I played several v18.2 games. The mods I used were minimum for game, Section 1, Section 1 to Section 6 (BG1), and Section 1 to Section 13 (BG1 + BG2). I did not include NPCs.  These games started without any problems.  It is only when I added mods from Section 14 and onward that I had troubles.  The more of these I added, the more trouble I had.  The trouble I had with saving games began when I added Stratagems v31.  These tests were run on two different computers with the same results.
 
When I tried to make a megamod game with v18.1, I found that I had success when I only included either Big Picture or Stratagems.  Adding both mods messed up the game.  This could be because I included conflicting components and did not carefully check them  so they did not interfere with each other.
 
Right now I only add components that I find in BiG World Project WeiDU.Log.  I assume that you use as many mods as you can and if the components worked for you, they would be safe for me.
 
Starting my 10th v18.2 megamod game with a fresh individual.bat.  The eighth v18.2 game use Big Picture for AI and the ninth v18.2 game used Stratagems v31 for AI.  Both had those two mods and failed when I tried to start them.
 
Thanks again for all your help,
 
TOM

@tomkaz, did you install the SCS's NPC alteration parts ? Aka the component that allows one to edit the NPCs proficiencies alike they were a BG1 character(as the component sets the character to be at level 1, and so effectively you can choose hteir proficiencies).
Especially if you install that with the Level 1 NPCs, it sets the game so that both mods don't work correctly as they do almost the same thing ... just a lot differently. And this at least once produced not able to save errors.
PS, and by the by, we DO NOTHING WITHOUT YOUR weidu.log except make bad guesses, even when you install things with BWP. It's easy to put one to a spoilers tags.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
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.

Hi The Imp:

 

I am only using Stratagems v31.  I was sure I did not alter any NPC parts.  I checked SCS v31 for them, but did not find any component.

 

As I said earlier, I have a problem with aTweaks v453 Windows Version.  Microsoft Security Essentials tells me I have "Trojan: Win32/Zpevdo.B in that file.  MSE cleaned it out of one computer but it appears I have some damage left over.  I dread having to reinstall Windows again.  The trojan is now in my other computer.  I wonder if that has messed up BWP.

 

I have a game installing now.  I will post the WeiDU.log in about 6 hours.

 

Thanks for you comments,

 

Tom

Well, if you just read the readme and scroll down that list to this part "Allow Player..." you'll find one.

It's been there the last 7 years...

 

The Trojan you detect with Windows Defender is a FALSE POSITIVE. It has no impact to your computer !!!! The only reason that the Windows Defender doesn't detect ALL the other weidu.exe files as the same Trojan is that they have a flag noted in the program to know that the files are not infected. It's that badly programmed anti-virus program.

Hi The Imp:

 

I am trying to get WeiDU.log into a Spoiler.  I hope this works.

 

Spoiler

 

When I configured this game, I did not get confirmation of the colors.  When I open baldur.exe, it has the delete icon in the upper left corner.  There were four minor errors that I see with games that worked.  Stratagems was left out intencialy to see if Big Picture and Stratagems were conflicting.

 

I hate to admit this, I am 76 and my memory is fading.  So please forgive me if I mess up sentences.  I usually need to write these notes at least three times.

 

If the Spoiler did not work, please give me instructions,

 

Tom 

I do not know what happened, but some thing has disabled Baldur's Gate and BGII - SoA in two of my computers.  So I will be busy reinstalling Windows on them for the next 3 or 4 days.

 

What ever it is it just keeps my games in the mode to uninstall my games when I open the baldur.exe disk and it prevents the colors from working.

 

Tom

Hi All:

 

My computer just crashed.  It could be the power supply, the mother board, or something else.  The Windows 7 mother board would be the hardest to replace.  My question is, will BiG World Project work with Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 did.

 

I would appreciate any comments from those using a Windows 10 computer.  If some brands of Windows 10 computers should be avoided, I would also like that information.

 

TOM 

 

Sometimes things go in your favor.  I took it to Best Buy this morning and they got it fixed in ten minutes.  I am back to installing windows and BWP games.

 

Tom

1) When trying to install Vlad compilation you find in Black wyrm lair forum (here: http://forums.blackw...?showtopic=5424), there is a component named "my compilation" that seems to be made of:
Tortured Souls
Keldorn Romance
Third path

In your BWP.pdf you refer to an edited version of Vlad compilation that actually has these components splitted.
Where is this "edited" vlad's compilation? Or are the informations on the bwp.pdf old?

2) In the refinements topic in beamdog forum, https://forums.beamd...Comment_1100011
subtledoctor actually suggests using Refinements v3 with classic edition. Would you agree or not?
The fact that refinements v4 patches rather than overwriting makes me think that v4 is still superior. Do you think the HLA issue will ever be fixed or the problem found?

@new(Mike)
There are no changes from BWPv18.1 to BWPv18.2 that could cause that. From time to time I noticed similar behavior. Reason are wrong registry entries. That was the reason why  you should restart your computer before installing

@Sergio

The BWFixpack makes the necessary changes.

You should do what the author suggests. I will change Installpack at weekend accordingly.
