Getting started with BGT

05 April 2008 - 08:12 AM

I just bought BG, TotSC, SoA, and ToB as a four DVD set. (One per DVD) I was told about Trilogy and that it would allow me to play BG I using the engine from BGII and that it would provide a transition between the end of BG I and the start of BG II when I get there. I am having a lot of trouble installing Trilogy though.

I posted earlier on a BG and BGII forum and got some good advice but I am now stuck in the dos window trying to install BGT. I reinstalled BG and TotSC in a games directory on the C: drive. Same for BGII and ToB, each in their own folder of course. The dos screen looks like this (with a lot of identical lines removed):

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

Unknown argument: [isle/baldur's]

WeiDU (version 20300: "Autoupdates on Mac!")

usage: WeiDU [options] BAF,BCS,D,DLG,TRA,TP,TP2-files

General Input Options:

--game X set main game directory to X
--nogame do not load any default game files
--search X look in X for input files (cumulative)

--yes answer all TP2 questions with 'Yes'
--uninstall answer all TP2 questions with 'Uninstall'
--reinstall reinstall all installed TP2 components

Press Enter For More Options


The path I use is "c:\games\black isle\baldur's gate" with parenthesis. Is my syntax incorrect or is there something actually wrong? Help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Help getting started with BG

04 April 2008 - 07:45 PM

I just bought BG, TotSC, SoA, and ToB as a four DVD set. (One per DVD) I was told about Trilogy and that it would allow me to play BG I using the engine from BGII and that it would provide a transition between the end of BG I and the start of BG II when I get there. I am having a lot of trouble installing Trilogy though and the searches I've done on the forums and websites, while abundant, have been confusing.

Can I get some simple instructions on how to install Trilogy? I'm using Vista Home Premium. If more information is needed, I'll post it. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.
