**** (a copy from BP developer's protected forum) ****

So, I cant exploit your (and my own ) patience anymore...

ENJOY, Folks!

1) BDash-WeiDU v1.5. Intermediate, but still useful version. I'm starting now a BG2 spell system revision, so the next version will contain an update for the entire spell system. The current one contains a small part of the upcoming release.
Install it first, before SoS, TDD or BGT-WeiDU.

2) Big Picture Detectable Stats, v1.1. WeiDU reincarnation of Detectable Stats. Something like CamDawg posted about, made absolutely independently and at the same time while he worked on his version, so I've decided not to bury it but to release to the publicity to choose the best . It contains some innovations for installation techniques... B)

3) SoS-WeiDU-v1.04 .New update, 'coz a previous one still had too many major problems.

4) And finally... TDD-WeiDU-v1.04!!!
Now its fully compatible with BGT-WeiDU and SoS-WeiDU so you already can create a perfectly large installation.
Install BGT before TDD while Ascension64 has not implemented TDD-compat section into BGT.

ATTENTION! SoS and TDD mods still contain BUGS! They can be located and fixed only by playing the mods through. I've tried to fix everything that can be seen outside a real playing so don't blame me too much if you'll encounter something.... But I hope there won't be any missing stuff like areas, animations, creatures, items etc. etc. that can cause a game to CTD.

There're some unfinished stuff for TDD and SoS like several incomplete items, texts etc. Everything will be included later, when there'll be time to implement some bugfixes. May be with a BP1.7 release....

Oh, yess.... Look at my signature


P.S. One small note. New SoS and TDD versions are designed to biff everything. So, any other "old-style" mods that check for some "placeholder" files in \override\ to determine if SoS or TDD are already present will fail that. It's necessary to check if SoS or TDD BIFFs present - not any other small junk in \override\....

I would also like to thank KD for all the time and hard work he put into these mods. Remember he is doing this on his own so if there are still some bugs dont be too hard on him. Remember .... its free and he dont get paid nothing for doing us this favor.

Honestly, the only thing I'm worried about is that we don't fracture DS into 817 versions like we did last time. I'll withdraw the DS I posted because I don't want it to happen again.

Drop cirerekk a line so he can release this as an official version.

[Arturcic]

Is the SoS-BGTWeidu-Compatibility-patch still needed?

[King Diamond]

Is the SoS-BGTWeidu-Compatibility-patch still needed?

No. Everything is included....

[King Diamond]

VERY URGENT!!!

If anybody plan to stat a new TDD/SoS game with new mod versions please DON'T DO THAT for a while - I've encountered a big problem connected to wrong/screwed animations that they produce....

So please wait a little - I'll post a fix soon....

[Radier]

I beg with all my heart King Diamond, that you tell us exactly how to install this wonderful Bigpack with BGT. This is my first post on the forums, and I don´t know much about your project, but the mere second I found it I realized that this would be the best project ever in the history of computergaming!

There are atleast two other instructions on how to install, but now, with new, updated files, please tell us newbees what to do.

Keep up the good work.

Regards. Radier

Patience, my friend...
In time all will be in place

Look at my signature - there'are 2 extra links to absolutely necessary patches for SoS and TDD versions 1.04. Please read README.TXT from the archives.

My preferable installation order:
BDash-WeiDU v1.5
BGT-WeiDU (latest Beta)
SoS-WeiDU v1.04
TDD-WeiDU v1.04

Just install them one by one....

If you want to install some other mods - plz do that on your own risk, but BEFORE mentioned above. There could be some incompatibilities (yet ).

I do not recommend you to install currently available version of Check The Bodies though....

P.S. I'll go to see Ronnie James DIO tomorrow!!!

Forgive a newb, but...

IS this BP-weidu? Or will that be coming out some time later?

Because... well... since SOS, TDD AND TS are all WeiDU now, can you simply install NEJ first, followed by the others, and still have them fit?

This is the mega-modification you are talking about. BP-WeiDU is a mod within itself that horred the plague is still developing, so check later for that one. As far as I know, TS and NEJ will currently not work with SOS and TDD so you can only really install one pair, or the other pair.

On another note, BGT-WeiDU status update: check the BGT-WeiDU 0.99 BETA 4 known bugs thread in that forum for further information, but TDD-WeiDU v1.04+ compatibility has been implemented for BETA 5, which will hopefully be the Polish translation version (among with other bugfixes of course). Note that when that arrives, older version of TDD-WeiDU will be rendered incompatible with BGT-WeiDU, and the installation order will change to:

BDash-WeiDU v1.5
SoS-WeiDU v1.04
TDD-WeiDU v1.04
BGT-WeiDU 0.99 BETA 5

But that is ONLY for BETA 5. Use KD's previously posted order for BETA 4-.

[Radier]

http://www.shsforums...showtopic=10924

That is an old installationorder. Do you think I shall go with that or shall I wait till you have made the newer versions (1.04) of TDD and SoS compatible with everything else?

And what is this BDash-WeiDU 1.5? What does it do?

Thanks.

[NiGHTMARE]

Baldurdash is basically a large collection of bug fixes. Think of it as an unofficial BG2 patch.

@ Sunset

King Diamond has done an amazing job ( ) on TDD-WeiDU v1.04, SoS-WeiDU v1.04 & BDash-WeiDU v1.5. These will eventually be part of BP Weidu.... some time later. It's worth waiting for.

@ Radier
BDash-Weidu is the Baldurdash Fix pack a la Weidu.

If you want to play the Big 3 in the not to distant future - stick with the install posted.

[ScuD]

Yes, there's a question on TS compatibility. Especially the latest 6.03 version released by Vlad not long ago.

[Radier]

My preferable installation order:
BDash-WeiDU v1.5
BGT-WeiDU (latest Beta)
SoS-WeiDU v1.04
TDD-WeiDU v1.04

Just install them one by one.... 

But what about the Detectible stats-thing? Where in the list shall it be installed?

And forgive me for asking, but what are you working on right now King Diamond? TS?

[King Diamond]

But what about the Detectible stats-thing? Where in the list shall it be installed?

It has meaning only in BP (or any other "smart" mod) context, so it's not necessary yet...

And forgive me for asking, but what are you working on right now King Diamond? TS?

Yep. I wanted to look at CtB but have encountered that nasty issue with animations. So it's necessary to continue with TS and NEJ....
