Wow, outstanding that we'll get that all - BGT+megamods, and now in Weidu! Thank you modders, for doing this.

I decided to have all of the Weidu'd megamods(TDD,Sos,CtB,TS), BTG-Weidu and couple smaller weidumods. I followed the stickied installation order:
1. BG1+TotSC+patch 5512
2. BG2+ToB+patch 26498
3. Baldurdash-weidu 1.5
4. SoS-weidu v.1.05
5. TDD-weidu v.1.05
6. CtB-TDD fix
7. CtB v.1.6
8. TS-BP v.6.04
9. (uninstalled GUI's x 4)
10. BGT-weidu zeta v.0.99
11. other mods:
* Ascension v.1.4.21
* Lure of Sirine's Call v.4.1-weidu
* Tactics v.23
* FR/RoV v.3
* Itemp Upgrade v.32
* Kelsey-SoA v.21
* Kelsey-ToB v.20
12. BP-BGT worldmap v.5
(13. fixes for TDD, SoS, TS and CtB:
* TDD-fix v.6
* SoS-fix v.5
* TSBP-fix v.2
* CtB-fix v.1)

I managed to get almost to the top on the process, where I'm supposed to install fixes for TDD, SoS, TS and CtB. But then it crashed. I installed TDD-fix v.6, it went through but I noticed several unix errors all the way of the process:
"Unable to Unlink [override/ARU008.bcs]: Unix.Unix_error(20, "unlink", "override/ARU008.bcs") Deleting [override/ARU004.bcs] (to restore original game condition)". SoS fix didn't intall at all, having same unix errors and rest of the fixes I haven't even touched yet.
I fear the whole installation is fubared, because the modlist in TDD-fix debug, before installing TDD-fix was as follows:

---So BGT isn't there anymore?! Did the TDD-fix uninstall it or what? I have no clue what could've went wrong...help me, please!!

EDIT: I noticed cutecat's post earlier. So this is propably GUI problem, they didn't uninstall correctly, right? I'll try again and install everything from scratch (well not exactly, thank god for vanilla BG backup...).

[horred the plague]

There is GUI code in the fix packages. It needs to be ripped out by its gnarley roots.

It is also 'possible' you did not uninstall enough times (are you sure it said everything from the GUI was uninstalled?)

I've reinstalled everything except the fixes, and currently running TDD-fix v.6. At the end I got a question if I want to install GUI (BGT GUI's or other megamods')..I didn't get that part at all last time so I think it was the GUI part which blew my installation. So am I supposed to install taht GUI now, or with the last fix (CtB) or after the fixes (by running setup-GUI.exe)?? It's a bit confusing...

EDIT: problem solved. For some odd reason almost all mod and fix-folders lacked backup and/or copy-folders so I had to create them manually. Now everything installed fine.

Oh crap. Nevermind getting it all straight - I'm getting error from the very start of the game: ChSound.cpp failed at line 4905. I read that it's supposed to happen only if your songlist.2da is overbooked (over 99 songs). I have Kelsey (SoA+ToB) installed but I deleted his songs from the songlist as instructed, and the last music on it is #99 BP4.MUS. Am I supposed to delete music from somewhere else too?

This is usually caused by your unRar/unZip program. WinAce and others don't create directories that are empty (no files in them). Since the Backup folder is always empty, this can be a problem. Most of the mods usually stick a file into the Backup folder just to avoid this problem. Sounds like some of yours don't have this.

Do you have a line return in SONGLIST.2DA. Make sure you have deleted all [Enter]s and [Spaces] at the end of .MUS.

I used TugZip 3.3, and just now updated to 3.4 to see if it would create those empty folders. Still nothing... guess I'll have to start looking for good (and free ) alternatives.

That was it, I had two Enters after the 99. Deleted those and now it works. Thanks, Ascension!

I got the same problem, and I did not install Kelsey. Please bear with me, but I had no idea what you meant by a 'line return in SONGLIST.2DA'. Actually, I could not find it either. And how would I remove [Enter]s and [Spaces] at the end of .MUS
What I actually tried (without success) is to delete all MUS files from BG. Guess I will have to re-install again, but I really would like to know why I got this error. The huge number of mods I installed were as follows (if it is of any help):

Ascension
BaldurDash 1.5
BGT Weidu
BGT Tweak
Bonehill
BGT Worldmap
BP Detect Stat
Ctb-TDD Fix
d0quest
d0tweak
DoS.25
DruidSorcerorKit
DSOTSC
G3Tweaks
NTOTSC
Oversight
Planar Sphere - Return
Quest Pack
Redemption
Refinements (very small part)
Sirines Call
SOS
SOS Fix
TDD
TDD Fix
TS
TS Fix
Tutu Tweaks
XP Mod

Of course, not in that order

If you open up a word processor and immediately press Enter when it is ready, you will get the cursor on the second line of your text. The first line is empty. A line return tells the processor to start a new line. Get rid of the new line or new lines after the line: 99 BP4.MUS.

Thanks for the tip, seanas. I'll use that next time.
