Near Infinity Editor

25 July 2005 - 09:28 AM

I need a guide of some sort on how to use this editor. Is there some sort of word document or pdf file kinda thing? Shadowkeeper cannot be used in BP_BGT_NEJ thus I must resort to this Near Infinity which is, unfortunately, not nub friendly.

I made a mistake when creating the characters but have gone far enough that I don't wanna restart again, so any help will really be appreciated. :D

some question regarding BP-BGT-NEJ

22 July 2005 - 06:59 PM

the BP-BGT-NEJ guide was written really well so I was able to follow 99% of the stuff correctly there is just a couple of things I wasn't sure of.

Here in shadowtech's guide,

6. When it asks you for your BGII "BGMain.exe" file browse to your Black Isle\BGII-SoA Directory and select BGMain.exe. It will then ask you to adjust your starting Experiance points, I typed in 100, then update, it will ask you if you want to make a backup of your BGMain.exe, I chose yes (cant hurt)

I did not receive this msg. Later on when the whole installation is complete I ran the xp program manually and tried to follow the instructions but it gave me error msg, something like 89000 cannot be found (Don't remember exactly what it said).

I've already downloaded the COMDLG32.OCX file and have it registered.

Here in hlidskialf's post it says

9. When TSv50 (Tortured Souls) installation begins, choose the directory ?PATH\TS-Install? where PATH is your main game path
(C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BG II ? SoA is default). Do the same for the TSv503 installation.
Any directions for copying and pasting or running BAT files should be IGNORED. I?m having the BP File Handler do all that work for you. Everything should work fine as long as you?ve set up the files and directories as above.

I don't understand what copying and pasting or running BAT files should be IGNORED means. Can someone explain more clearly?

When I install TSv503 patch I am asked if I want to overwrite some files, should I do YES TO ALL? I am ask this several times. Everytime I should do YES TO ALL right?

Also I am supposed to add Force Dialog Pause=1 in the baldur.ini file. Which one do I add this line to? The Baldur's Gate one or the one from Shadows of Amn? I assumed it was the Shadows of Amn one, am I correct?

Also I read so many things on the forums saying something about the world map having problems, the solution was to download

""""Revised World Map for The Big Picture + Baldurs Gate Trilogy v3.0b *New*""""

correct? When do I install this world map? Do I do it after having run the Setup-BP-BGT-NEJ_PATCH313.exe (weidu)? Or after?

Also there is a Big Picture s and h patch Version 7 out there. Should I install this or not? If I am supposed to install it which step do I do it? After the map? Or before? And is it before or after the Setup-BP-BGT-NEJ_PATCH313.exe (weidu)?

None of this is mentioned in the installation guide so I just wanted to make sure since I am gona be installing it for the third time and I REALLY want it to come out right this time....

Also I noticed that shadowkeeper does not work on BP-BGT-NEJ. Is there some way to make it work? I mainly use the editor to do some cosmetic changes to my characters, I really need it to work...

Finally, when I get every part of this monster installed correctly which mods are safe to install. I mean NPC mods such as valen, and random stuff like flirt packs, imoen romance etc. Will those be ok if I install them, or will it totally screw BP-BGT-NEJ up?
