Greetings, cheers and regards to all you folks who have the heart to fight off hordes of evil users like me, who keep knocking on your forums with their problems. :blush:
Haven't managed to find any existing solution for exactly this problem, feel free to kill this post if I haven't dug deep enough, will try harder))

Okay, I've played BG1Tutu quite a while ago while it was still buggy quite alot but haven't made it to the end of the game 'cause my boss seemed not to like the whole idea... oh well, a pity :ermm:
Now I thoght it may be the time to finish the great game again (at last?)), so, loading it up with all the nice mods I can gather seemed to be a good idea, great thing there is a BGT, BP and WeiDU... so, skipping many lines of thanxto... here is the installation order:

1. BG (5CD ver, NorthAmerican License, all checkboxes), TotSC (Remembering BG1Tutu I've tried to copy contents of Data and Movies folders on CD to HDD too), BGTalesUS5512.exe
2. BG2 SoA (4CD, Full Install), BG2 ToB, BGII-ThroneofBhaal_Patch_26498_ENGLISH.exe
3. Launched both configs, just in case...
4. BG 2 fixpack beta v3
5. SoS v1.11, TDD v1.11, CtB v1.8, Tortured Souls for BP v6.09
Everything fine thus far, no errors and... 6. Here comes BGT! (:ta daa:))

...unpacked it to BG2 dir (c:\Games\BG2, Total Commander), no files missing (double-checked *.bat ones)).
"cmd":

.DEBUG file attached, hope it clears things up for someone, if not for me.

I've also tried to run FileMon to see if it really does all the things it should and... well, it does!))
Don't think there is any real need to attach the log, WeiDU looks honest enough, but then, why not?)

Hope there is some trivial solution for this that's just a bit beyond my imagination, but well, it just is :)
Sorry for any spelling errors, english is not my native language after all, and thanks in advance for any help.

I think there are some problems with your BG/TotSC installation. Try to make a full reinstall of BG1.

I think there are some problems with your BG/TotSC installation. Try to make a full reinstall of BG1.

Tried it today, no improvements.
Now I think the problem lies in one of the mods I've installed prior to BGT, because last "File Not Found" errors in filemon log seem to be caused by files in override dir, BP forum states that all the mods I've installed should install (and work) correctly in this particular order.
Okaay, lets reinstall BG2 now...)

Edit: Same problem with a clean BG/ToSC & BG2/ToB install. Prehaps someone can generate a list of files from BG1 dir, so I can check that they all present, please?

That error occurs in three scenarios:

1. The file 'Input' isn't created properly. This doesn't seem to be the case, since your BG1 directory is detected and things are extracted
2. 'BGT\bg1.tra' doesn't exist. This also does'nt seem to be the case, unless your dialog.tlk in your BG1 directory is missing.
3. 'BG1CRE/D2ISL.CRE' is missing from your BG1 installation. This seems to be the possibility that is most likely true. Either the file 'D2ISL.CRE' doesn't exist in your BG1 installation, or more generally, you don't have ToTSC.

Could Not Find c:\Games\BG2\BG1CRE\D2DOP.CRE
Could Not Find c:\Games\BG2\BG1CRE\D2DUR.CRE
Could Not Find c:\Games\BG2\BG1CRE\D2KIE.CRE
Could Not Find c:\Games\BG2\BG1CRE\SKELE2.CRE
Could Not Find c:\Games\BG2\BG1CRE\WOLFCHAR.CRE

This also suggests you don't have ToTSC.

Unfortunately, BGT-WeiDU requires you to have ToTSC (unless you haven't installed it correctly...).

Thanks, Gort. I've verified the files and TC found 30 wrong CRCs, including spells.bif, SFXsound.bif, scripts.bif, MovieCD6.bif and alot of others, but I guess ToSC is the source of it, thanks to Ascension64 for pinpointing the problem. ScuD suggested in PM that my BG distributive is somehow corrupted too.
Strange thing that it always worked, with BG1tutu too, nothing complained, so I've tried to install it all under MS Virtual PC with WinME to the same result... guess its just some rare incompatible version of ToSC then, nothing that a few hours of downloading won't fix anyway)
Thanks again for all the answers and the great mod. :Bow:
