Gah, some trouble again...

Installed the BWS-Mod on my notebook (for my underway D&D fix) and chose a custom tactics install.
I omitted most of the lesser NPCs and some questpacks.

Installed without a hitch, but My Mage is useless cannot read nor use Scrolls. Daggers and Slings appear red.

Really not looking forward to another reinstall.

But any hints what might be causing this!?

@Nimrod: You're right.

PS: Yea, I know this sounds too stupidly obvious and I'm sure you guys already thought about this thing before but still ...

I don't think it's stupid ! I think it's a good idea.

Lol I didn't mean to say that the idea was stupid but that the fact that it was kinda obvious that this feature should be present (ever since IA got into the BWP )

You've just got to port that part back from the beta (available since end of June).

The beta should've been stripped off its beta tag waaaaaay back I knew you guys had prolly thought of this

A proper BWS update is really overdue non??

BiG World Debug.txt would help.
Try to pause the batch using [Ctrl]+[c] and tell us about the lines or add some pause-lines after the Call %INST%-lines to pause the install and enable further investigations.
If those tell you something wrong, try to replace @echo off with @echo on in the first line of BiG World Installpack\Install.bat. That would show you all "internals" of the process.

I recently bought these from GoG.com and they are designed to not require a CD, i tried using The Big World to install all my mods and it is telling me that i dont have a full installation of Baldur's Gate II, which i do...and that a file CD5\Movies\25movies.Bif but it exist in the data folder.. i dont know if its the GoG version or what is up..any help? I followed all of the instructions in the Big World pdf..anyone can help me?(kingcrowley6969@gmail.com)

Well, the "25Movies.bif" file is in here: "\BGII - SoA\CD5\movies" so I would suggest that you move/copy-paste it there... it's only 96,894,976 bytes on your hard drive.

I think the BWS checks for the file called BG2-ToBPatchReadMe.txt to check for the 24698 patch ... dunno but I can be wrong too

[dabus]

If you look at the BiG World Instll.bat, it's indeed

%IF% CD5\movies\25Movies.bif %IF% BG2-ToBPatchReadMe.txt GOTO :TOOLCHCK

, so it will continue if you got both files. Make sure you don't created BG2-ToBPatchReadMe.txt.txt. If you know everything is ok, just skip the test by editing line 290 from

GOTO :NOTEST

to

GOTO :TOOLCHCK

.

Hello,

Would anyone help me with a crash please? I've just started the game (via the first option "Baldur's Gate") and have yet to speak to Garion. The crash happens whenever I go to the world map (I've tried twice).

I heard about the Big World Project from this link: http://www.reddit.co...ldurs_gate_and/

I followed the directions and installed it. I'm on WindowsXP, I used the Recommended option and yes to everything (except foreign language mods) after that (I also disabled anti-virus during install). I'm using the CD version of the game (not GoG).

Here are the contents of my Baldur.err:

Edit the batch-file before it is starting to install the stuff or use the Beta to do that using a graphical interface which assists your approach in doing that.
When editing yourself, have a look at the readmes in the BiG World Installpack-folder and at the BWP guide (pdf).

Im using Big word to merge bg and bg2, Is there a way to configure the bg2 tweak pack the big world setup installs, it ommits things I like, like stackable arrows and gems, as well as true grandmastery

There is somewhat a lot of that in the Mix Mod too, so make sure that the one changes you wish to last, are installed after everything relevant...

[Jarno Mikkola]

Just to clarify, the Big World installer installs everything correctly, and the game is playable. One of the mods that is installed has a lot of parts that you can configure, BG2 Tweak pack, when it installs this mod it auto selects some pre-selected parts, is there a way to go back and install some of the other components?

Yes, just run the setup-bg2_tweaks.exe and you then need to skip the already installed components. Take NOTE, that you have then the ability to brake the game horribly...
