Ok I think I know how to do a biffer routine but I'm not sure. I've make two batch files with the info that was in "Bonehill_and_PreBP_Biffer_Code.doc" that I found (don't know were). Do I simply run those two batch files?

I have two questions regarding the mega install:

1.) 38. While the TDD .tp2 is open find the beginning of the ?append spell.ids? portion of the file. After the listing for the spell which is numerically identified as 2226 COM_STEAM, press the enter key and edit in ?2227 COM_CATS_GRACE? following the same format as the previous and subsequent lines. This will eliminate a TDD parse error during BPv176 install.

Does this mean I just have to replace 2226 COM_STEAM with 2227 COM_CATS_GRACE in the file?

2.) This may be a bit newbie but how do I run a biffing routine?

1. No. Insert 2227 COM_CATS_GRACE in the line after 2226 COM_STEAM

2. That's correct. Copy the pertinent info from the doc into an empty batch file. Then run the Bonehill.bat once you have your Bonehill install completed (including any patched files that may need to go into the override directory). Run the other batch file just before installing BP v176.

(I'll be updating the install instructions for all the new stuff, including WM6 when it comes out soon)

Open the document and "save as" the info you want to use as "Text Only". Then open the text only document and "save as" (select "all files" in the file type pull down screen, and in the file name line, call it what you want it to be named but finish the name with the .bat extension.

Install it where you have room to install it. Just be certain it is a clean installation and you know the path where it is because BGT will prompt you for it so it knows where to look for the data it imports.

BG1 patched to 5512 or

BG Original Saga . As long as you didn't do any other patches or mods, you should be fine.

Ok thanks for the reply! I've had a computer for 7 yrs and I just learned how to make a batch file.

Is RoT compatible with the MEGA install, if so, were and when do I install it? After SoS, TDD and TS and before BGT or some place else?

Edited by Kyoma, 07 June 2006 - 04:34 AM.

[radish_hoedown]

should be. i've installed it, but not tried it yet. this should probably be added to the list. also the two tp2 edits for the gui switcher are un-needed anymore. also versions have updated. possibly add link to the harder to find files? well done though, i'd have been screwed without this thing.

[Kyoma]

Sorry guys, but now I have another question. With the new vesion of CtB (1. do I still need to edit Setup – CtB.tp2 (like I had to do with Setup - TDD.tp2) and install CtB17Fix1.rar, cause I checked all the files in the CtB17Fix1.rar and they are exactly the same size as the files in CtB 1.8.

No. They are all updated with the new releases. Just went through last night with everything except the new WM v6. It's supposed to all work together, except as we all know once the new WMv6 is released and installed, a new game MUST be started for it to take effect.

I'll update the install instructions with any changes (lots) and all the links to hard to find items, and post my new WeiDU log tonight after work.

[Kyoma]

ok thx, and then I'll wait with playing the game untill Wm v6 comes out

[Kyoma]

Erebusant, you gonna add RoT instructions as well, I hope?

Make sure you put a date on the install doc so we know that we have the latest version..... please?

also... excellent work on the instructions, keep it up.

I have question regarding the "small mods". I plan on installing:
Feedom Reign - Reign of Virtue v3
Unfinished Business v15
Ease of Use v32
Item Upgrade v32
Spell 50 v6
Tactics Mod v23

When do I install each mod (before or after BP), cause some sites say the a mod has to go after and another says it has to go before, so can someone tell me what I sould do.
