Although there are about twenty persons, who test the mod and report bugs - this suggest it is being tested right now
The new install guide looks very fine. Nearly all known bugs from my current mega-mod are solved - and this suggest that there is a new instruction that they are using but i might be mistaken

[Leonardo Watson]

some problems are solved, others occur...

I have installed the new versions of TDD v1.12, SOS v1.12, CTB v1.9, TS-BP v6.10 and ROT v2.1 togehter with NEJ v2v42b + NEJ2v602, BGT 1.04 and BGT-NeJ2 Compatibility Patch, then the great BG1 mods DSotSC, NTotSC, SoBH, all went fine without any warnings and then...
...Drizzt Saga no longer installs.


The installation failed because of error:

BIFF may be in hard-drive CD-path [C:\Programme\Black Isle\BGII - SvA\/DATA/TDD-RULE.BIF]
[C:\Programme\Black Isle\BGII - SvA\/DATA/TDD-RULE.BIF] 471255 bytes, 219 files, 0 tilesets
ERROR: illegal 8-byte read from offset 42928 of 42800-byte file WORLDMAP.WMP
ERROR: [WORLDMAP.WMP] -> [override] Patching Failed (COPY) (Failure("WORLDMAP.WMP: read out of bounds"))

I had done exact the same installation with the previous versions of the big mods some days before and all went fine.

Marvin is right: when I'm ready, I will release my instructions in both languages at the same time. My purpose is not only to install the big mods, but to bring together most of the quests, NPCs and tweaks to one huge mod... and that lasts its time.
All I can offer you at the moment is a part of my logfile as far it seems to be really stable. Note, you must install BP-BGT-Worldmap-v6.6 at the end. Also note, I had to correct some files to be able to install NEJ after Fixpack. Without these files you can install NEJ first, then fixpack, then all the other mods.

I just tested installing the Drizzt Saga and there is a conflict with NeJ2. It installs without NeJ2v42b + NeJ2v602.

[King Diamond]

A Clue.
New TDD version doesn't install WORLDMAP files when older one did. So, with older TDD you had overwritten NEJ's worldmap and then Drizzt's Saga went well.
Now you have WMP from NeJ2 that DS can't patch.

Das ist grossartig Looking forward to 3 edition.

But:

31.3. Chloe V12

How does it refer to: [Chloe] Conflict with BGT?

and which solution you suggest?

[King Diamond]

After NeJ installation delete its WMP from \override\ and continue with other mods... That may help.
Or, if biffer packs it in some .bif - copy original SoA WMP there...
Or try to install DSaga after Worldmap mod...
Or look inside the matter more deeply and find out what's wrong with NeJ WMP or DSaga's map patching procedure....

But would this also solve the problem, that TDD doesn't copy Worldmap files?
I mean, if TDD is the problem, how can deleating the NEJ Worldmap files be the solution?

TDD is not the problem. Problem is that DS can't patch NeJ2's worldmap file.
With previous versions of BP mods, they replaced NeJ2's worldmap with their own (that we shall call "correct" or "valid"). And DS could patch WM when you install it (DS) at the later stage of Mega Install.
Now it's a different situation. None of BP-family mods replace NeJ2 WMP, so DS tries to deal with it (with "invalid" one) and fails.
When you delete NeJ2's WMP (or overwrite it with original SoA WMP) you will force DS to deal with original SoA WMP file (which would be the LAST of WMPs in stack of installed stuff 'coz nothing changed it). And I hope DS will patch it without errors.

P.S. ...and to clear all confusions about TDD's role in this situation. You received an error stating smthg about TDD-RULE.bif because TDD is the first mod that's been installed after NEJ2 and it's biffed all remaining resources from \override\ finishing its own installation. If you'd install any other mod after NEJ2 you'd receive another message concerning that particular mod.

ANother thought. If Drizzt Saga does something with WMP I would not recommend you to use it at all because ALL worldmap modifications will be overwritten (and lost) when you install Worldmap Mod later.

The only chance that it will work if you will install it AFTER WM mod, at the very end of your Mega Install.... In this case you don't need to do anything with NeJ2 WMP.

The Drizzt Saga works just fine with wm v6.5 and installs just fine with your new versions without NeJ and wm 6.6, but have not played them yet.

pro5 did a lot of WM patching to make Drizzt Saga compatible w/Tutu & Easy Tutu & BG1. There's a seperate component in the TP2 to add WM6 compatibility so it will be OK to install along with all the other BP Family mods, as long as they are able to get around the choking on NEJ's wmp problem that occurs before you get there.

[Leonardo Watson]

I have just installed DRIZZTSAGA after BP-BGT-WORLDMAP as King Diamond told and it seems to work. I went a little around in some areas and they show up in the map. Thank you all!

Hi

Just wanting to check how the testing is going. Is there a long way until the new pdf install guide apears?
I would also like to thank all you modders for all your work on these great mods and I would like also to thank you Leonardo and your great team for you work and dedication to try to put all these great mods together and create the greatest game of all time with infinite replayability potential.

Thank you again and have a great day

[pro5]

Actually, the WM patching code was borrowed from the BP-BGT Worldmap mod itself. The current WMP is patched in core mod component just in case players don't want to use DS with larger worldmap.

Before you ask - I have no clue why NEJ worldmap would refuse to be patched this way.

A .bat file is nothing but an executable text document that uses a particular language to accomplish a task. You could write one yourself by just typing the code into Notepad and saving it with the .bat extension instead of the .txt.

As for the particular language used for .bat files, I am afraid I cannot help you. All I can suggest is to look at existing .bat files for a clue to the language. Any mod with an audio component will have one. You can view the file by right-clicking on it and selecting "edit."

Here is another example of what a .bat file looks like.
