I've been trying to install a BP-BGT mega-installation using BiG World, but the installation comes to a crashing halt with BGT. the Setup-BGTMusic.debug file asks me to please post its contents to this site. Can you please help? I'd really like to try BGT. Thanks.

You don't have to attach the file, as you could just open it with Notepad and copy paste the text to a post and ...

Now, you don't have to install the BGT-music at all, it's just an addition feature t the mod that rearranges the played music files in the game... but the error you have comes from not having installed the ToBEx, how it's related I don't exactly know, but the check is there, so ...

BP-BGT mega-installation using BiG World

You should use the BiG World Setup beta to actually create that, not try manually install each component.

I've been playing BG & BG2, along with DSotSC and a few other mods, on and off since the very beginning. I thought it would be fun to create one immense installation with both games and lots of mods, sort of a BG complete. I started by trying a BWP mega-installation, but it never installed correctly, and after searching through the 80,000 line debug file, I decided to try to install everything manually, which has the benefit that you can watch the individual command windows and catch errors as they occur. That was when I noticed that BGT-music was failing, and - when installed at the very end as BWP was trying to install it - also didn't uninstall correctly and basically corrupted everything. But even trying it at the very beginning, as I did in the install I sent you - basically immediately after the BG2 fixpack - it won't install. I know that I could just skip the music install, but I tried that and then the music is very wierd. Call me a traditionalist, but there's something very soothing and satisfying about the original music and hearing the music from the Irenicus dungeon playing in a city or some Irish jig in the middle of the forest is disturbing and throws me out of the game. Is there any solution? Am I the only person inthe world who's having trouble with BGT-Music? Also, I read the ToBEx line, but it doesn't make any sense: I'm not trying to install kits and I'm sure there aren't anywhere 256 kits in BGT alone.

On another note, while playing the BGT installation with the wrong music I've encountered a blue screen of death several times. It asks for a BG1 disk. It's happened with NPCs from BG1NPC, Bonehill, and BG1UB, which leads me to think that this, too, may be a problem with BGT. Is there a simple fix? What BG1 file is the game looking for and not finding?
