'Disable Startup Movies' tweak

Baldurdash Fixpack for ToB (already includes SoA fixpack)

-- FixPack v1.12

{Ha! Classic Baldurdash has a bug! CLASS.IDS has duplicated lines at 202 MAGE_ALL. Change one of them to 202 LONG_BOW, and all will be well. CLASS.IDS should be in the override folder (Of course, after having installed Baldurdash).}

Wow, a pinned thread, and my post made number 1!

FYI: It was not my doing!

A moderator closed the original thread due to spamming, and moved my post in it to here. Thanks!

Don't know how they're gonna prevent spamming in this thread, but, then again, I'm not a moderator.

Now, if they can fix the RSS feed problem...

I was looking in your batch files for installing the miniMega and mega mod and noticed a bunch of personal fixes for stuff. Is there any way you can zip or rar them up and send them to me, I am interested to see what your fixing.

Thanks

I'm currently playing with Biggius as a ranger -> cleric, Amber, Imoen, Chloe, Auren and Nalia, for the ultimate party of love
Ubuntu/Wine handles almost perfectly my 440 Mb, 15000 files override with 512 Mb of RAM. Sound is laggy, but that's unfortunately the lower common denominator of all Wine apps I tested.
BTW, I didn't even install RtW this time - all my party members would stop talking once in ToB, so I'm not probably pushing this game into ToB, and I don't feel like translating the complex RtW bat files for ToB

I was looking in your batch files for installing the miniMega and mega mod and noticed a bunch of personal fixes for stuff. Is there any way you can zip or rar them up and send them to me, I am interested to see what your fixing.

It might be easier for me to post them, as some of them are fixes made by G3 Fixpack that I'm using in a Baldurdash environment, or fixes that haven't made it yet into current version of certain mods. Also will force me to better document where I got some of my "fixes."

Will add more over the coming days.

------------------------------------------------------
fixes / customizations
------------------------------------------------------
-- the EXTEND_TOP corrections
-- been experimenting with a biffing and an unbiffing script, each is simply a personalized version of what's included in the larger MegaInstall mods {not gonna post these yet}
-- cannot save in Ust Natha tavern (not needed if using G3 BG2 Fixpack)

Ashes of Embers changes
-- TP2: [link]

BGT changes
-- TP2:
-- oAR0602.baf NEJ2 Compatibility fix: [link]
-- allow certain NPCs to transfer from BG1 to BG2: now an official option in BGT Tweaks version 5. Modified ARAM00.BAF no longer needed.

BP changes
-- TP2:
-- pro5's corrections to BP
-- conflict with CtB 'holly the elf' quest

Check The Bodies changes -- version 1.8 ONLY
-- implemented: [link]
-- CTD just after entering the area "brimstone bridge" / close to home quest bug: [temp fix]

DSotSC/NTotSC changes
-- implemented: [link]

D0-QuestPack changes
-- ronin69hof's corrections: [link]

Reign of Terror changes -- version 2.0 ONLY
-- buglist (one of two) with some corrections/fixes: [link]
-- corrupted BAM: [link]
-- "Weird Arlax CTD, Entering Brundor and Pip's Smithy": [temp fix]

Shadows Over Soubar changes -- version 1.11 ONLY
-- not yet implemented: [link]

Tactics changes
-- modified TP2, so that some components can be installed in a Big Picture game: [link]

TDD changes -- version 1.11 ONLY
-- not yet implemented: [link]
-- the TDD version of MONTAR13.CRE is a straght Assassin (I think). Don't know why, because the lower level versions are Fighter/Thief. BP, for some reason, had the correct version. Copy \BPv176\CRE\MONTAR13.CRE to \TDD\CRE
-- SPVIND3.spl: something was wrong with the original version. No fix available yet.

Kewl, just make sure you dont piss someone off by posting part of their mod.

ronin

[Azazello]

Yeah, I know who you're talking about...

[AnnabelleRose]

Kewl, just make sure you dont piss someone off by posting part of their mod.

ronin

Yep, I'm angry now, grrrrrrrrrrr............

Oh wait, not me.

[Azazello]

MTS, put your list in here, or link there-to.

[AnnabelleRose]

Well since I was nudged both on the boards and PM...

I don't like to post what I am playing with during an install unless I encounter bugs.

In my opinion these lists always lead to someone's feelings getting hurt. Example; "Why is no one playing my mods?"

This is why I do not post on lists like these or on "reccomended mod" threads.

[Azazello]

Sim, how come you never log in anymore?

[ronin]

I was going to ask that same question. I dont know what he is worried about his mods are a couple of the most highly recommended mods to install and are a part of my "must install" mods.

ronin

[Chevalier]

Who is that masked man???


Well Sim we all know you by your style!

[SimDing0]

Except it logged me out when I posted that, so maybe that was why. Who knows.

I think that's counterproductive to an extent though. "Why aren't you playing my mod?" inevitably leads to one of two responses: "Because I didn't know about it" or "because it isn't very good". The former is useful to the player, the latter to the modder. It's absolutely no use at all to me if everyone stops playing my mods without saying anything, unfortunately, because nothing's going to get improved.

Well Sim, as usual you are correct.

I agree with you in part only though.

I tend to hose my own installs, so I rarely know if I did something wrong, or if it is the mod itself. So at most I might ask a question to a modder about it. I realise that not everyone has the same taste in mods, so me saying pepsi is better then coke is only true if the person has the same taste as me.

I guess I will be nice and list a few mods I won't play without.

1) Quest Pack - Possibly my favorite mod ever.
2) BG2 Tweak Pack - Much better then EoU (which in it's day was nice as well).
3) The Teleport Spell - I get tired of constantly going from area to area on a fed-ex quest at higher levels.
4) Dungeon be Gone - This one probably makes me miss out on some great things in Jon Bon's dungeon, but I would rather poke out my own eyes then play though it again.
5) Baldur's Goth (Including a few unreleased Portraits I saved though email) - Gee, what a shock, eh?

Honestly outside of two mods (not counting newer non-weidu which are never worth the time imo), I have probably played around with everything that has been publicly released at least once.

P.S. Good to see you back in your pass Sim.

Hey! Azazello,
That is one hell, of a long list.Detailed in every way(the dummy in me asks),.Is this your list of mods that you have installed,and play, with in this order at all times?

Yes. There are two installs: Mega, and miniMega. (Plus, a list for Icewind Dale) The latter is simply a regular BG2-ToB install with Reign of Terror (easily one of the largest mods around).

In future, I plan to have just the MegaInstall list. Every new mod will have to work with it, or out it goes.

Why not the fixpack instead of the baldurdash?Is this your personal favorite, one baldurdash?

Sentimentalism. A final goodbye to Baldurdash, and a final hello to G3-BG2-Fixpack.
I do not have a preference for one or the other. Since Fixpack is being actively maintained it is the recommended fixer for any BG2-ToB install.

Com Incounters and and Never Ending Journey and aVENGER Rogue ReBalancing Pack, these will work, if they first, in the install order before the standard install order of the mega mod list thats you can find all over this forum?( BG2 Fixpack v1; BGT v1.02; SCSBGT v4.3; SoS v1.11; TDD v1.11; CtB v1.8; Chores v2.0; TS-BP v6.09; RoTerror v2.0; DSotSC for WM6 v1.85; NTotSC for WM6 v1.45; SoBH v2.05; BP-BGT_WorldMap v6.4)

NEJ: the last MegaInstall collection that works is [NeJ v4.2 + NeJ v6.02 patch + BGT-NEJ2 v1 Compatibility patch], together with BP v176. (I think BP v177 does not work, but may be wrong.)

aVENGER's Rogue ReBalancing Pack: works with several modifications to both the TP2 and a "re-install" of 3 CRE files at the end of the install. It is placed at the beginning of the install to ensure it will not conflict with other mods.
ronin69hof made an update to the entire mod, but the mod's developer asked that the original be maintained and unaltered. We respect aVENGER's wishes.
Still, I believe ronin is willing to share his results, but only via Personal Message (PM) -- that is, not within the forums.
I am willing to document my changes, but I think it is best to do so via PM. (Unless there is consensus that we can do so on the forums.)

COM Encounters: supposedly "will break about 16 different things in BP".
OK.
I haven't been able to find what exactly it breaks, as there are no distinct keywords to query in the Search function. Still, I believe I made a few minimal changes to some files, and have placed the mod near the beginning of the install to ensure it will not conflict with other mods. So far, no problems.
I will document the changes, if any, in the posts above.

Say i want to follow your install order.I see most of your mods you have listed have been upgraded.Can those newer mods work also?Or do i need to find the same older mods you have listed in your install order?

My two installs are pretty funky. There, I admit it!

The MegaInstall-a-la-Baldurdash has the most recent versions of mods possible.
The miniMegaInstall-a-la-G3-BG2-Fixpack has the least recent versions of mods possible.

Why? Mwahahaha, because they called me mad!
Call it "for fun", call it madness. Whatever.

Still, I recommend you follow a MegaInstall -a-la- G3-BG2-Fixpack -a-la- most recent versions of mods. It makes logically sense, and it makes it easier for us to advise and troubleshoot installations.

Wonders why these other modder don't show their weidu log list.

I'm not a modder. I'm a script-kitten. Meow.

I'll probably never make a mod myself, but hopefully when I grow up I'll be able to significantly contribute to the development efforts. For now, I'm a playa', a fixa', and a testa'.

When are you going to add to this list of your personal fixes and stuff?

Continually. Like today.

Also i see you skip alot of install stuff on most of the mods you have installed.Is there a good reason for this?I mean Other then reinstall the same stuff over and over again.Could you add more of the options of install,per mods then what you have listed, and the order still work?Or this that new frontier for another to work, on them selves? Is what you got the best and only way to mix and max the mods so they work together?

If I understand your questions, I don't try certain types of mods simply for personal taste. I don't particularly like NPC mods, and the ones I have installed I don't always use; not big on romance or flirts. Kits I avoided for a while, but with the project to allow NPCs to have any installed kit, I will be trying these in the future.

For advice on the order in which mods should go, follow the various installation threads.

And finally, in no way are my install lists the best. But they do work.
