I have a suggestion for this thread. Since it is unreasonable to expect the modders to verify all combinations of installs, maybe those players who are mod ambitious could post their install list. If you have had reasonable success with installing a bunch of mods, it might save others a bunch of hassle to hear about it. Or it might just give people some good ideas. You could also tell everyone about any bugs you run into. Does anyone think this would be worthwhile?

[Ascension64]

Here we go...an entire thread dedicated to posting working install lists! I wanted to keep the compatibility thread on topic to BGT-WeiDU compatibility only, hence the move.

[Azazello]

There's sort of a thread like this already, just not for BGT-WeiDU versions. It's a more generalized listing - http://www.shsforums...?showtopic=9383

[J Beau]

There have been a huge number of releases and updates since that thread's last post. A fresh start seems appropriate. Anyone want to start us off? This would probably take some stress off of the modders also since it will handle some of those "Does this combination work?" questions.

Truth be told, I'm one of those people and I'm trying to get some ideas for my next install. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I thought this thread was to reload the issue. If so, it should prob'ly be moved to more-general forum 'Baldur's Gate I and II' (unless you want install orders specific to BGT-WeiDU).

I am looking for successful installs with a fair number of mods that revolve around BGT-WeiDU. I know there must be other people who are interested in this as well.

Maybe searching for WeiDU.log in the BGT-WeiDU forum might help out. Anyway, I'm too lazy to do anything with this thread at the moment. Let's see what happens...

My first post . This is my weidu log.  WeiDU.log.rar   5.16K   169 downloads
I am just about to finish chapter 4 and everything went just fine so far . I also changed kivan's kit to archer and Imoen's to swachbackler.

Tip: With ALL those mods u should biff up your override in order to avoid slowdowns. Also if you experience these slowdowns try to disable ambient sounds.

Something which might seem stupid and i just can't give an explanation why but it worked for me. After some point I started to have strange slowdowns which could not be solved with the above "solutions". I tried everything I read in all IE game forum's with no luck. I tried to see if this was an area related problem so i clua transfered my party to a different area where there was no slowdown. Strangely after finding such an area and reloading the save game i made prior trasfer the slowdown disapeared.

Excuse my english its not my mother lang.

~SETUP-NEJ.TP2~ #0 #0 // Never Ending Journey v1.3h
~SETUP-NEJ.TP2~ #0 #2 // Now for the decompression of area .tis and sound files. You MUST install this for the mod to work. This will take a while so don't panic!
~SETUP-NEJFIX.TP2~ #0 #0 // Never Ending Journey v1.4 Patch

This is old nej, buggy, author not supporting and is known to uncompatible

~SETUP-REFINEMENTS.TP2~ #0 #10 // Revised High Level Abilities
~SETUP-REFINEMENTS.TP2~ #0 #20 // "SwashImoen" -> "SwashImoen", full revision (suggested)
~SETUP-REFINEMENTS.TP2~ #0 #31 // Shapeshifting fix -> Heal on shifting to animal (by Borsook)
~SETUP-BGT-MAIN.TP2~ #0 #0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core

I think refinements should go after after bgt-weidu (assuming it is compatible not sure tho)

~SETUP-BGT-MAIN.TP2~ #0 #0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core
~SETUP-SOS-FIX1.TP2~ #0 #0 // Shadows Over Soubar, v105 WeiDU - PATCH #5
~SETUP-TDD-FIX1.TP2~ #0 #0 // The Darkest Day, v105 WeiDU - PATCH #6

Fixes should go last

~SETUP-UB.TP2~ #0 #9 // Corrected "Xzar's Creations"
~SETUP-D0QUESTPACK.TP2~ #0 #4 // Alternative Harper/Xzar Plot
~SETUP-TDD.TP2~ #0 #0 // The Darkest Day, v105 WeiDU

These components are likely conflicts each other

Anyway good luck. If you encounter any problem ps share.

[SimDing0]

The last three do not conflict.

his is old nej, buggy, author not supporting and is known to uncompatible

where can i find latest version? I think i d/l this one from wizard.

edit: If u mean NeverEndingJourney-weiduv13i is the latest version this is the one i used it seems that they
didnt change the text in weidu query (h should be replaced with i)

I think refinements should go after after bgt-weidu (assuming it is compatible not sure tho)

it works fine. I tested HLA and shapeshifting fix and everything works ok .
There was a problem installing it after bgt weidu in a previous attempt. The same with the fixes. Trying to install them last produced an installation error. This installation order stayed as it is cause after many tries (i mean MANY) was the one that accepted most of the mods I found. I hope that installing the fixes before other mods will allow me to play through the large mods normaly. Ctb starts correctly with the chores etc and entering the portal at irenicus dungeon starts NEJ normaly too.

Wrong. The first edition is not supported, is not available, and is far away from the second edition.
You are not supposed to get correct answers about NeJ2 here at SHS. Please visit our forum boards at BWL.

[SaKiS]

Ok.

Just some thoughts-comments for the game so far.

My party:
protagonist: SaKiS-Inquisitor
Minsc-Ranger (Use him as fighter/tank, he also holds a bow using it rarely)
Kivan-Archer(Sniper-scout)
Imoen-swashbackler (wanna dual her at lvl 10 to mage)
Jaheira-figther/druid (healer-buffer-figther)
Garrick-skald(always wanted to have a bard-type in my party)
I also added zone of sweet air, and harpers call lvl 3 and lvl 5 priest spells to jaheira
** Note: I miss finch
I expected my party to become really powerful fast since the xp comes in, really fast and the items added by some of the mods (e.g Bonehill) were not designed to be used against <9 (at least) lvl creatures. Thats why I used mixmod difficulty setting +125+25% hp etc, tactics, tougher sarevok e.t.c. Till now (start of chapter 5) I encountered a good challenge against trolls in firewine bridge and skeletons (casting priest spells *tactics). Game is only a little bit imbalanced but it's fun. Next time I think I am gonna use simdingo's xp mod. I don't know if its necessary though cause I expect battles in bg2 part to be really difficult with the mods I used.
**Note: I play the game in insane.
The only item i decided not to use at all is a ring that gives immunity to arrows (I concider it to be a cheat). All the mods seem to work just fine, (I killed doomsayer the archeologist gave me the firewine quest, found cave near Beregost completed vampiric sword quest, got will's items and upgrade the flail..).
Bug wise there seems to be a problem with dialog (maybe bg1npc v 11 problem). After a while kivan starts conversing like crazy. Another guy had the same problem with imoen http://www.shsforums...showtopic=19048
What I did was clua create a new kivan killed the talky one and clua give him the exact amount of xp he had prior the dialog thing appear. It would have been a little more complicated with a mage since lvling up a mage also cosists of learning new spells... For an archer giving him the xp just makes him identical (I want to believe ) with what he was.
About NEJ version. From what I read in bwl forum I have a weidu version of nej1 or something. Dont really care about that I expect some bugs but I really believe it will be playable. I really have a lot of fun playing it untill this point.
Sorry for the long post. I love this game :**

[SaKiS]

You definately need Defjamv3 for reducing xp. It is highly recommended for bgt-weidu.

"Next time I think I am gonna use simdingo's xp mod" . this was taken from my previous post. I really believe you are 100% right.
This is the first time I play this installation. It is also the first time I will play the large mods. Already seen some things that I will change in future games. I ll continue as it is now. I am looking for bugs/conflicts between the mods.
It is really not that easy insane difficulty and added thac0, AC, HP for the creatures + tactics mod already gave some nice battles. I still insist that bg2 part will be a good challenge. We 'll see.
I tried to go down the stairs in firwine bridge (NToTSC), battle against vampires once again finished with me reloading previous saved game . Mind controled and lvl drained party against 167 hp -5 AC vampires (5 of them) doing double dmg (insane) is really challenging still.
