I tried to install BP-NEJ, CtB, and redemption

When i start a new game, right in the middle of the load screen  it will show me my desktop with a huge black square blocking the upper left portion of my screen, and the game will freeze, forcing me to ctrl-alt-del out.  Also, I don't even know if i installed redemption because I cannot figure out how to use setup-redemption.exe (it has a bunch of different options but I can't even figure out how to try to uninstall it).  Im so frustrated, ugg.

wiedu.org has information on installing wieduized mods. And try reading the options it gives you. It says "u" for uninstall. Slow down and read, buddy.

And...this has nothing whatsoever to do with CtB. This problem is likely caused by BP, which can be very buggy. And it looks like you have a corrupted file, if the game can't even start. Perhaps your BP download messed up?

I'd try a full-reinstall, but likely someone else can suggest something.

Oh, and what order did you install these in? It should be:

BP+NEJ

CtB

Redemption

thank you, but I think I'll just start over with a fresh install.  Any other weidu mods I can add in later after redemption right? I mean compatible ones of course.

And I'm a little confused about installing CtB.  What I did was download the corefiles and v150gamefiles self extracting exe files.  I double clocked on corefiles.exe first, and after that was done, i did the same to gamefiles.exe.  I couldn't make out exactly what to do based on the instructions from the ctb website, so I just improvised.

Please forgive my ignorance, I am but a mere cat.

Do not insult cats!

The instructions are actually very clear...just slow down...calm...calm...no rush.

And a full-reinstall is the same thing as a fresh install. Sorry if I confused you.

As for other mods:

Unfinished Business

SimDingo's Quest Pack

Ease of Use

Ascension is REQUIRED before you install Redemption. And if you really like Jon Irenicus, get The Longer Road (you have him for all of ToB, he has tons of banters, a new quest, etc. Really good mod in my opinnion).

All of these are wiedu, but are very easy to install (it tells you exactly what to do, just read the instructions). My little brother can do it, so you must be able to.

I love cats! My name means "Cat Mage"

ok sorry for asking so many questions but the manual install guide says I should install 1.0 of redemption, but I have 1.2.  1.2 is ok to use, right?  Also, I dont have to worry about Ascension if I use BP, right?  I just don't wanna screw this up again

Nothing to worry about, as long as you've followed the instructions. Relax. Make sure you have the complete BP+NEJ package. It requires TDD, SoS, TS, and NEJ, but you know that already. Use the auto-installer. After BP+NEJ is installed, then install CtB. Then install all other smaller mods.

From what you've told me, nothing should go wrong unless you stick your hand through the CPU whilst installing.

Good luck, Cat Mage, and let me know if it works out for you. If it doesn't, PM me all the mods you are installing, and I'll walk you through it.

Merry Christmas!
