My apologies if this is a somewhat newbish question. I am not at all familar with game mods and am aiming to do as full an install of them as possible and replay them.

I had already done an earlier BP install, but after reading some of the stickies here realized that I can likely get a much more inclusive install, although I'm sure it will take me hours to figure it all out.

Anyways, my question was that assuming I go through the extensive Mega Install guide and install everything I can get my hands on. Would the bonus cd merchants likely end up in there? If they don't, is it possible to simply get those files from Baldurdash and then copy them into the override folder, or would that cause any problem? Also, the files such as 'Improved Original Demogorgon', after completing an installation can these files be copied into the override folder as well?

I had used those files on my original play through the series, and enjoyed them a lot so I would like to be able to do them again if possible but did not see any mention of their compatibility anywhere that I could readily find.

Thanks for any help in advance.

More appropriately, it will take hours for you to install it.(one version, downloads not included)

But to your other questions, if you take the right rote that's right mods, you can get what ever you want in the game. The question really here is, WHAT YOU WANT TO IT ? As most of the WeiDU installs work perfectly with each others, unless they modify the same stuff.

My concern with it is that the specific tweaks I am referring to modify what I think is the area file for those encounters, i.e. placing the merchants in copper coronet/adventurer mart, or the area you would encounter the ToB boss, and whether or not that area modification would screw up other mods because I don't know enough about the mods in general, or scripting/etc, to know whether or not that matters or not.

Figured I would go ahead & register, same poster as above.

I do not know if the tweaks in question qualify as Weidu mods, when I had installed them before all it was was a manual copy into the override folder for the appropriate files. So that is why I am not sure about any compatibility issues.

Depending on the mods you install, the bonus merchants will get include without you having to add anything to override. ToB apparently adds Deidre automatically.

The original Demogorgon is a separate component in both Ascension and Big Picture.

Be sure to start with the stickies in this Mega Mod forum to start your installation research.

Yeah I've been checking into them a bit so far, rather overwhelming, lol. I noticed that many of the Baldurdash fixes are included in a variety of places, but hadn't seen mention of the tweaks, such as the harder bosses, so wasn't quite sure how to determine if they would work or not.
