As been sometime since installing this game. Want it install it again. Only question I have is when you got to update the installers as in shadowtech guide, should I just include only ones mentioned in guide or do I need to include ones like Ease of Use, Item Upgrade, SBT & World Map and have them updated at same time before installing everything?

Only the ones used in the autoinstaller need to be updated before you start installing everything. The other mods can be updated as you try to install each one.

@ ascension64 or SirBillyBob: could someone put up a new sticky topic with the install instructions and lock it. would be also good to put it in the BP, SOS and TDD thread too. Would save alot of copying and pasting everytime someone wants to know.

Doesn't mean they will read it.

I don't rights to this forum to do that.

[ronin]

I know but its easier to tell them to look at the sticky instead of diggin thru 5 pages of posts.

Im confused about this response. I thought that the BP weidu version was unreleased currently. I have just begun a new game, but am using old BP-BGT installs and directions. These instructions seem to indicate that the BP weidu is available. Where would we download these components, and am I confused about the intent of these instructions?

[seanas]

those instructions are for installing a weiduised version of what we once called BP-BGT (or BP-BGT-CtB, to be precise). however, in the new age of weiduised mods, you no longer need BP to play them together. so really, this is an install guide for 'as many big mods as yu can physically stack together', which was one of the main functions of the old BP.

we need a new name for this mess tho, cos as you point out, mildImp, this BP-BGT-weidu install doesnt actually have any BP involved, and it's more than simply BGT-weidu... still, at some unspecified point in the future, there'll be a stable BP-weidu (which will at that point be a tweak mod, rather than a compatibility mod) and thos of us who enjoyed the scripting changes of BP as much as the stacking of all the mods will play it as well, and so you'll have BP-BGT-weidu that actually has some BP components. just not right now. if that makes any sense.

all of the components listed in that install guide are currently available, however: it is a playable install. it just doesn't have any BP components as yet.

[ronin]

In the instructions I posted above there is no BP-weidu because it is still in beta and not released yet. We are still testing it. If you want BP then you have to use the non-weidu version and also the older versions of TDD, SOS, Nej and TS (non-weidu).

The instructions above work but you will have to forfeit BP for now. You can substitute Tactics if you want a challenge.

The original BP brought all the big mods together and also added some more difficulty. The new BP is all weidu'd as well as the big mods so in effect the newer versions can be played stand alone. The new weidu BP will basically be the AI tweaks from the original and improved areas as in the original. As I said above if you want to play BP right now you need to use the old non-weidu version and all the non-weidu big mods.

Do i actually need to have Bg1 to have this all work? I should say, that i really don't want to play bg1, but i'm interested in playing the other mods together.

Hi Deadsoul welcome to the forum. You can play BP only to merge the big BGII mods. You can either run the old version or use the new WeiDU version. I would highly recommend the WeiDU version as the installation is a lot easier and a lot of bugs have been solved by now. BP-WeiDU itself is not out yet but it does look that it will be more enhanced scripting and better AI and such. You don't need BP-WeiDU to play TDD, TS, SoS and CtB together any more. Check the announcement at the top for installation information. And also check the relevant forums.

Have fun gaming.

When BP-weidu is finally released, it will most likely be installed between steps and 9). At least that is what I'm trying today, when I install all of the above (plus another semi-recently-released mega mod; make your own guesses, just don't post them ) for the first time...with BPv170a (attn. workshop crew: you're not missing any files/code for v170a...yet ).

[cheezeegriff]

I wish to apologise for my previous two posts. I thought I was in a different forum and had already registered. Appeared I hadn't:) Anyway, I've downloaded most of the above recommended files, however I have not been able to find Ts-BP 6.04. I DO have Tsv605.exe. Will that work? Please answer ASAP as I'm losing access to this computer in a few days, and will no longer be able to download anything over a few megabytes.

[seanas]

TS 6.04 can be found here. use only the version numbers specified: they're specified for a reason.

[Yazka77]

I very stupid question from noob   , I am not sure where to find that BD-weidu 1.5. Can someone please tell me where to find it?
