Hi Guys,

Just two quick questions.

1. Can I add more mods after I did the BWS install, I made the miastake of thinking they were included and they werent. (I did wonder when the install only took 15 minutes!)

2. Is there some way to change the res again. I installed G3 widescreen and changed it and worked fine, then ran it again and changed it to another res and worked fine, then ran it again to try another res and it wont work at all now and im stuck on 1024x768.

Game runs fine, adult content was installed and all the basic standard build. Just wanna know if the two above can be solved.

Cheers

Drechana

Did you use the BiG World Setup.vbs thing? It seems to still have some issues with downloading/extracting from reports I can find around here, which might be the reason you are missing mods. You can these steps manually, while the BWS should provide for custom batch file with the components you picked (This is what I think it does, not 100% sure as I don't use it) Here's a guide for manual installation of BWP : http://www.shsforums...newbies-and-up/

As for Widescreen I've had troubles with reinstallation as well. I'd advise copying your unmodded BG2 folder to some other place and (re)installing widescreen on that one until you find the resolution you want to use (Launch BG2 from bgmain.exe to test resolution settings, baldur.exe will launch the unmodded one, finding the path through registry entries). Then enter these settings when running the BWP batch on the game you want to mod.

Thank you for the reply but all that went right over my head. Sorry

[dabus]

You selected the BWP install-method, which has currently issues when loading the player-made compilations.
If you want to use that, either use the recommended to expert-preselection or enter the mod-selection-screen and select the mods you like there.

If you want to use the component-based pre-selection, select the BWS-install-method and you'll have no such issues.

@Drenchana

The Wiedu.log shows up what mods (with its modules) are installed and in what order.

Also how did you go through installing the BWS:-

a. Did you run the .bat file from "BiG World Installpack v11" pack?
b. Ran the nice look menu installer from the german/EU site?
c. You ran each mods manually, one after the other following a guide?

-

1. Can I add more mods after I did the BWS install, I made the miastake of thinking they were included and they werent. (I did wonder when the install only took 15 minutes!)

This is a bit complex, I always did a complete (fresh) installation if I did any mistake with mod installation.

With your Wiedu installation and if the game is running currently, you can just check up where the mods you want fit up in the installation order and install the ones you want manually. (if you have like 5-9 mods you want to install)

But you will need to make a list of how the mods are arranged and make sure weidu has that order, for that you need to uninstall any mods below the ones you want to install and which come up inbetween other mods in the order.

Also @Beleg33 mentioned that you can
.Copy and paste the game folder for Baldurs gate 2 (its expansion and the required patches) after you installation, in some other location so that you can always have a backup of the game without any mods installed if you did some mistake and want to start over again by copying/placing it back. <- its faster than re-installing the game

.Also the mods in BWS needs to be installed in certain order, else the mods which are installed later either works partially or not work properly at all.

2. Is there some way to change the res again. I installed G3 widescreen and changed it and worked fine, then ran it again and changed it to another res and worked fine, then ran it again to try another res and it wont work at all now and im stuck on 1024x768.

According to your installations, you can just run the "setup-widescreen.exe" file in your BG2 folder (if its there) and change up resolution without any issues.

---

Also don't install every mod from BWS, it totally spoils the game. if you are confused with BWS and unable to proceed from the link @Beleg33 provided, just list out the mods you would want..we could suggest alternate ways (if the mods you want in the game are less in numbers).

I am playing at the moment as well and really dont want to start again. So I have the core that I need, the rest is just extra stories and smoother integration and such.
