BWS wasn't updated to support Baldurdash 1.75 because this problem: http://forums.blackw...=5337&pid=54810 but I will update it for the last time soon.

 

Ah, okay, that makes sense.  I'll look forward to once BWS has been updated for it, then.

 

 

There should be is Ascalon's Breagar (but only for german) available for classic games. But if you didn't select Ascalon's Breagar, why on earth you selected Portraits for it?

 

Wait, there isn't an english translation for Breagar?  Even though there's one for the older 6.09 version of it?

 

 

There is no more "MTS Crappack 14. Install Azrael and add the scroll to summon him to Irenicus' Dungeon." in BWS, I can't find any info why it was removed, but surely there was a reason for it and I won't add it again only for finding out that it broke something  ;)

 

As the Smiling Imp option for Azrael + Shar-Teel is available, I assumed that the lack of MTS Crappack was a mistake; if it would break something in the installation, though, then I can certainly remove the related Smiling Imp component.

 

 

PaleMaster is only for EE so this dependency should not be active when there is no PaleMaster, fixed now: https://bitbucket.or...2350299b6dc59b9

 

Awesome, thank you!  Also, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me, you've been really helpful!

Well, I've been trying to setup a BGT installation with the GoG versions of Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga and Baldur's Gate 2 Complete, if that's what you mean.  I will say that I have performed mega-mod installations before with Baldur's Gate, both 1 and 2, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing, though it's true that I've never performed an installation on the scale of the BWP before.  

 

I admit that I didn't know that the Blood and Tomes mod was an Enhanced Edition exclusive, though that begs the question as to why it's included in the regular, non-EE options, if it's only for EE games.  Are there any other mods (other than the Scales of Balance weapon styles component, which I already made sure not to include) which are likewise EE-only, yet provided as legitimate options for a regular BGT/BWP installation?

Well, so I went through the Full Customization option, and the setup at least made a lot more sense. . .however, in trying to actually install all the mods, I've encountered a lot of difficulties.  For starters, even though BWS recognizes the presence of Baldurdash during the download and extraction phases, it then fails to notice it during the installation.  Whether I put the .exe into my BGII - SoA directory, extract the contents of Baldurdash into said directory, or do both, BWS simply refuses to recognize that Baldurdash exists.  What's more, if I try to manually run BDash175.exe while BWS is paused to install it, that fails too, saying that it can't find the BGII - SoA directory and has to be present in it, even though that's exactly where it is. . .so I have no idea what is going on with that.

 

However, Baldurdash hasn't been the only thing causing me problems.  With some of the mods included in my BWS setup, specifically Tome And Blood, NSCPortraits and Smiling Imp Banter Pack, BWS says that they have dependencies that simply don't exist in BWS.  For example, Tome and Blood says that it is installed at the same time as PaleMaster, but PaleMaster is nowhere to be found in BWS.  Likewise, the alternate NSCPortraits for Ascalon's Breagar naturally requires Breagar, but one cannot install Breagar as there is no option for it in BWS, and the Shar-Teel w/Azrael component of Smiling Imp requires MTS Crappack, but it also has no installation option in BWS.  Now, I could try pausing the installation at the points where the missing mods would normally be installed, but considering as any mods that I've tried to manually install while BWS is paused have resulted in the same kinds of errors that I mentioned above with Baldurdash, I don't think it's possible for me to include those missing mods.

 

Now, another option I've considered is just trying to install BWP by hand (not recommended, I know).  With that, though, I made even less progress; when I tried to run the BWP Trimpack after extracting all my mods to my BGII - SoA folder, the command prompt stated that it was processing the necessary changes.  What actually ended up happening, however, is that as soon as the command prompt would display that message, another prompt window would pop up, yet it would be completely blank.  Then, both windows would just sit there, doing absolutely nothing until I close the blank window, then bringing up a message in the first window asking if I want to skip the processing.  If I say no, the blank window pops right back up, and if I say yes, it then says it's processing the next mod, yet the exact same things happen as with the first one.

 

I don't know why BWS and it's associated files are being so weird like this, but I really want to be able to use it to set up a mega-mod installation, so if anyone has any useful information/tips for me, I'd really appreciate your help!

 

P.S.

I tried to upload the BWS-Selection file for what I've been trying to do with BWS, but the website wouldn't let me, saying that I'm not permitted to upload that kind of file, so that's why I haven't included it here with everything else.

Ah, okay, so THAT's what I want to select, then.  I wish BWS or it's instructions were a little clearer on the differences between the options, but it's good to know which one I'm suppose to go with, now. Thank you so much for informing me of this, especially what with the botched formatting job I did in my first post.
