Thanks, hmm. I dunno, I may forgo Divine Remix then.

This is going to sound like stupid question, but I assume that all the mods are installed to the BG II folder. Is that correct?

[Chevalier]

Yes.

[Lemernis]

Again, thank you to everyone for their assistance, kindness and patience.

I see that the Tutu store mod Hard Times is not BGT compatible.

As you already know from your G3 thread, the "dragon" from DSotSC...really isn't. Still, it's a good, fair fight; the treasure is very reasonable, and it's a great mod-DSotSC.

If you check the thread later, you'll notice me... and that dragon is a real BG2 dragon, not a wyvern. The baby drago's aren't... but that's not the point.

Jarno Mikkola, you are correct. Tis a dragon, a junior one.

A fully grown one... but still easy enough in BGTotSC+ chars...

Again, can we get a confirm?? I remember from either a walk-thru or even in-game dialogue that the dragon's not full grown. Am I wrong? Tell me--I can take it like a woman. Or maybe I'm remembering the BG1 version?

As I recall it's a big nasty fully grown dragon and I think it's red

It's fully green.
PS, Azazello, take this like a man...

It's in Candlekeep cause I can't get any further just now.

Yes-yes, I know what it looks like -- been there, done that. Looks like a big mutha, but somebody around here knows the definitive answer, if it's a whipper-snapper or grand-daddy green.

I'm at work so I can check the game files.

It looks like a real dragon and it fights like a real dragon and it chops you in pieces like a real dragon so it probably is a real dragon .

Hey everybody! This really belongs on the DSotSC forum, and it's a "Young Forest Dragon" according to one of the dialogues, as I recall... and if for some reason it isn't right now, it will become so...

From DSJAREN.DLG:~I am Jarent, Morninglord of Lathander, and I seek your help in taking care of a problem. You see a young Forest Dragon (that's a whipper-snapper in my book, Az) has recently been on the move south of here. This dragon attacked several village south of the Cloudpeak Mountains and began moving north. It raided one of our temples during one of these attacks. Among the temple valuables it carried away with it was a most holy relic. It is very important that this relic be returned and that is what I am asking of you. Will you help?~

Love it!

Okay, so bascially it's a juvenille grown to (young) adult size. I am really looking forward to this battle. Thanks for posting the screen, Jarno!

Question about Xan. I have the BG1 Friendship mod and BG2 Xan installed. In the BG2 version you have the option to change him to Fighter-Mage. It's very tempting, since it always annoyed me that Xan couldn't really use that Moonblade of his. I may very well do this.

I have Level 1 NPCs installed. So I'll have to change his class to Fighter-Mage for BG1 also? I.e., BG2 Xan only changes Xan in BG2, not BG1 as well?

I'm still not totally sure if I'll do it... I do want a high level caster. He was going to be it for this game. How much slower will his spell table progress as a FM versus Enchanter?

erebusant, to the rescue, as always. Thanks e!

@Lemernis

What ever you do remember that Xan's Moonblade is a dagger in the game that does 1-8 hp of damage. I think it only changes Xan for the BG2 part of the game (I use shadowkeeper to change Xan to a standard Mage and then tweak the Xan for BG2 to match the Xan at the End of BG1 (hitpoints, spells, stats)).

A 'young Forest Dragon' does not mean small, but less powerful. She is old enough to have babies.

[Lemernis]

Chevalier, thanks for the advice. I'm rethinking the Fighter-Mage thing. I really need a high level caster, so I'll probably leave him as he is.

Question:

For Secret of Bonehill, do I need to install the worldmap v.7? I'm not sure what version of the worldmap I have. I just installed the current version of BGT.

Install v7 Worldmap and install this patch: http://www.shsforums...mp;showfile=666 into your game directory before installing Secret of Bonehill.

[Chevalier]

erebusant,

To make it clear for all. Install Secret of Bonehill Worldmap v7 Patch, then Secret of Bonehill, then at the end of the install Worldmap v7?

[erebusant]

erebusant,

Yes. The Secret of Bonehill Worldmap v7 patch replaces the Bonehill/worldmap files with new ones that need to be in place before installing Bonehill. So 1. Extract the Bonehill WM v7 patch in your game directory to replace the files in the bonehill/worldmap folder. 2. Install Bonehill 3. Install Bonehill v225 and v226Patch 4. Install Worldmap v7 at the end.

I really, really, really hope these instructions are clearly stated/stickied in the Bonehill +/- Worldmap announcement threads!

[Lemernis]

Alright, I followed this protocol:

1. Extract the Bonehill WM v7 patch in your game directory to replace the files in the bonehill/worldmap folder.
2. Install Bonehill
3. Install Bonehill v225 and v226Patch
4. Install Worldmap v7 at the end.

Note: I did not have any version of the worldmap mod already installed (eg version 6, etc.)

At step (1) I was not asked to overwrite any files as the blurb states on the patch's download page.

At step (2), when extracting the Bonehill .rar, I was asked if I want to replace existing files (worldmap ones, IIRC) and I said "Yes to all."

Hope I did this correctly!

Imo, wherever else the directions are given, I would definitely have them clearly stated on the download page that has all the Bonehill downloads. That's probably going to minimize installation confusion and questions the most of anything you could do.
