SCS:
Upsi, yes, when rereading the "no no", I realized you were right.
Thanks for the hint.

Level 50:
Ok, yeah, right again, but ROT and TDD come first, then BP and BG2_Tweaks.
BP will not get installed at its time if others are installed, and when it comes to BG2_Tweaks, it has

REQUIRE_PREDICATE NOT FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME ~bpduearc.spl~ @16      // non-BP
REQUIRE_PREDICATE NOT FILE_EXISTS         ~data/rot-rule.bif~ @16 // non-RoT
REQUIRE_PREDICATE NOT FILE_EXISTS         ~data/tdd-rule.bif~ @16 // non-TDD

So it won't get installed either.

Catch the old release that was current while the guide was made and you'll see that is was consistent back then. Will need to be updated nevertheless.

SCS and SCSII have some new (?) components which are not in the manual nor in the batch file.

SCSII has more of them than SCS.

Example of new SCS component:

~SETUP-SCS.TP2~ #4 #3110 // More realistic wolves and wild dogsS: v17

Example of new SCSII components:

~SCSII/SETUP-SCSII.TP2~ #4 #2150 // Make spell sequencers, spell triggers, and contingencies learnable by all mages: v17
~SCSII/SETUP-SCSII.TP2~ #4 #2160 // Add an extra copy of some hard-to-find spell scrolls: v17
~SCSII/SETUP-SCSII.TP2~ #4 #2170 // True Sight/True Seeing spells protect from magical blindness: v17
etc...

I also wonder why BGT-NPCSound mod is omitted in BWP. The difference in volume between the BG and BG2 main-char-voices is clear (i.e. I assume it also adjusts the main-char-soundset-volume).

[dabus]

SCS I & II are new.
BGT-NPCSound is only used in German installations...

BGT-NPCSound is only used in German installations...

Why only? As far as I can see, it's language-independent.

[Davor]

Here is an adjusted install.bat file I used to install BWP manualy in French. Each time "BiG World Install.bat" requests an component install, the language and component numbers are shown, so the user can adjust them.

For adjustments, it uses a DOS utility which you can find here.

To make it work, you put it in the "BiG World Installpack" directory, and adjust "BiG World Install.bat" to use it:

::SET INST="%BWIP%\Install.bat"
SET INST="%BWIP%\Install_q.bat"

Maybe someone finds it usefull...

That's a nice little tool.

Some minor things I'd do:

I'd use %TRA% to get the components description in the language you selected.
If you don't understand the output from language 0, you still need to get the components descriptions.

I'd also use the -n switch to enforce numeric input, maybe in both cases if spaces are allowed.

If no language is selected and you press <ctrl-c> the installation gets aborted.
If you do the same with components, it still installs.

To get rid of that inconsistency, I'd suggest to either use a line with

IF "%errorlevel%" == "4" exit

to interrupt the BWP batch or copy and paste the solution from the language-selection

IF "%errorlevel%" == "4" (
	echo Skipping %1: No component selected: aborting
	pause
	exit /b 0
)

to interrupt the installation of the setup/component.

Quick question...

The the install .bat file, after I choose my version selection (standard, tactic... so on)... I get a message below saying "System cannot find the batch labeled specified - KITSELEC..."

I tried to look around for documentation... but failed.

What is it?

The installation goes along file... but it still irks me. Any ideas?

It's a file the BiG World Setup put's into you game folder... it probably has something to do with your Kit selection.

                                =============


    You have done the following settings:

       Game:             entire BWP with BG1 and BG2
       Version:          Standard without Tactic
       Mod Deselection:  no mods deselected
       AI Selection:     SCS (standard)
       Rule System:      Full Plate Rule System
       Language:         english only
       Language:         english only

======>>> Не удается найти указанный файл. <<<======
       Some of the selected mods include adult content!

selected line means "system cannot find the file specified.", and afaiu is caused by one of following lines in BWI.bat:

%NMAC% %IFN2% %IF% BiG_warning %TXT%@78 | %M%
%NMAC% %IFN2% %IFN% BiG_warning %TXT%@79 | %M%
%AD% %TXT%@130 | %M%

don't know if it have any impact on the main part of installation, but...
Also - why language section is printed twice?


PS. Already posted it yesterday, but from guest account. Message vanished. Previous spam-post about books remains in thread even now. That's some really strange spam-protection

BiG World Clean-Up.bat isn't working! Shows up with this error "Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden."

[dabus]

That's already discussed/reported here.
You have to edit the batch-file a little bit with the text-editor of your choice.
Please note that it kind of lowers your options when debugging the game.

All BWP files must be extracted in game root, so in your case C:\BWP\Black Isle\BGII - SoA
