Hello,

I've been doing a mega-install without the Big Picture . Now, I know references have been made to install SOS version 1.12, Darkest Day(TDD) version 1.12 etc. However, none of these mention the patches for these mods on the Dragon's Hoard(Black Wyrm Lair?) download page. This download page also includes extra patches, specifically The Darkest Day Fix 5, Shadows Over Soubar Fix 6 and the Check The Bodies TDD-Fix. Now, I know not to install any thing with the word "original" in it, as this presumably refers to the old non-WEIDU downloads placed further down each entry, but should I install these 3 extra patches or not?


So far I've had one CTD after trying to install the game the previous time, but I suspect this is due to putting an "all-alignments allowed for all classes" code into the Overrride folder - it hasn't happened at other times.

If you download the latest versions of the BP family mods from the SHS download page you do not need any of those patches from others sites. SoA + ToB + 26498 Patch + SoS 1.12 + TDD 1.12 + CtB 1.9 + TS-BP 6.10 + RoT 2.1 + Small WeiDU Mods + Tweaks and Fixes + Worldmap 6.6. Don't use any of those old versions anymore, as a good majority of the bugs have been resolved in the new releases.

Thanks very much for clarifying this. One last question:- I'd assumed from the readme that Worldmap 6.6 was already included as a mandatory install for any of the big mods(ie TS-BP/TDD/SOS/CTB/ROT). If I do have to do a separate install of worldmap 6.6, where exactly is it? I looked and could only find a readme for worldmap version 6.3, and no download link.
