As stated in the BGT-Weidu forum, this should be the place to ask things about a combined installation of BGT-Weidu and other mega-mods. So here it goes.

I'm going to install most of them, but I have certain doubts on the order of installation, so I'll just drop mine here so some1 can critizise it. Thx for the criticism:

1.- BD-Weidu
2.- CtB-Weidu
3.- SoS-Weidu
4.- TDD-Weidu
5.- BGT-Weidu
6.- DSotSC-Weidu
7.- NSotSC-Weidu
8.- NSotSC-Weidu 1.41 patch
9.- Sirines' call
10.- Indira NPC
11.- BG1NPC 11.1
12.- Item Upgrade
13.- Underrepresented Items
14.- Sim ding0's Quest pack
15.- Unfinished bussines
16.- Saerileth NPC
17.- eSeries 1.5
18.- Freeedom Reign - Reign of Virtue
19.- Ease of Use
20.- BGT Tweaks
21.- ding0's Tweaks
22.- BP-Weidu
23.- Tutu Tweaks
24.- Yacomo's Worldmap


All versions are the latest and I'll skip incompatible components of various mods (e.g. EoU) so, will this work? Or should I change the tweaking mods' order (BGT Tweaks, d0's Tweaks, etc.)?
Thx in advance.

EDIT: Sorry for topic title, didn't notice the Caps Lock.

On my own install, I put G3Tweaks after BP, right before TuTuTweaks. The better parts of EoU (IMO) are in TuTuTweaks, so I entirely skipped it. I put BGTTweaks after BP as well, but it was by mistake (so many mods!). I don't think it matters either way. D0Tweaks was before BP, where I think it belongs (probably doesn't matter anyways).

Other than that, it looks fine. There is still debate on when TDD, etc go in relation to BGT (before, or after?)--but I don't think it's a game-stopping issue at any rate.

[seanas]

the order looks good (or as good as anybody's guess is at the moment... ); the mods look compatible (except maybe the eSeries: i haven't installed it for some years - does the latest version work with BGT?) so go for it, and report back on what sort of success you have...

I tested eSeries on my last install, right before BPseries. After I made sure all the innate spells in-game were set to level one, both seemed to work "fine" (you know my scripting plans well enough, seanas ).

P.S: I'm in IRC chat currently (both Spellhold and Pocket Plane), if anybody wants to debate this in a quicker fashion.

@Horred: I'll go with u and exclude EoU in favor of G3 Tweaks, but that raises another question: Should I skip the Tutu Tweaks components that are included in G3 tweaks (Cast in Armor, Thieving in Armor, etc.)?

@seanas: Ascension lists eSeries 1.5 or above as compatible, and, except some other mod makes my companions more intelligent, the eSeries mod is the only one which allows my NPCs not to behave as pre-BP kobolds. I'll give it a try and report any weird behaviour.

Thx for the fast replies.

I'm "on the job", sice this is such a new gig...no worries.

If you install a component from one pack, don't double up (good rule of thumb). I don't think it matters which package you choose from.

[Arturcic]

Thx. Wished I could go to the chat room, but haven't mIRC installed, perhaps some day I'll install it again.
I know this isn't supposed to be here (probably), but I'll throw it anyway: Are d0's Tweks ALL compatible with BGT-Weidu?
In the ReadMe, there are various which are not compatible with Tutu, so I don't know if they apply here, too.
Thx.

Don't know about that. The installation order looks fine, just remember to activate the GUI at the very end appropriately for BG1 music, not anywhere in between.

[Arturcic]

I'm confused. I've been waiting to install/play, considering the posts in the BGT-Weidu forum, regarding incompatibilities between BGT and CtB ( http://www.shsforums...showtopic=19636 ). Should I wait for a new BGT-Weidu version addressing the music problem? Now that BP has been fixed with Horred's two patches, I don't know if I'm waiting innecessarily. I'm confused.
Anyway, thx for ur great effort.

[Arturcic]

Plz, could some1 tell me if this problem between CtD and BGT regarding the music is game-killing? I'm waiting for this answer to install everything or to wait for a new version of BGT-Weidu.
Thx.

Check songlist.2da. If it has less than 100 entries then the only problem you might run into is if a part of the game wants to play a song file and the entry in songlist.2da is blank. If it's crashing your game you could temporarily just fill in the entries in the 2da (with notepad) with other entries from other parts of the 2da. If there are more than 99 entries (or 100, I'm not sure) you would just delete the extra entries. Keep in mind, however, that both of these are very rough solutions and will most likely result in wierd music or no music playing in certain parts of your game.

Edit: you would check songlist.2da after you install everything.
