Oh btw, any new english NPCs added? I took a quick look through the guide and the list of new mods, but I didn't notice any.

Yup, there's my Rose NPC mod, but she's in an early beta stage since she has only five or six banters. I'm working on it.

Oh right, but I already have Rose added to my NPC list guide thing. I mentally ended up skipping over that since I'm just looking for new things for my list.

i think there is an error in the 'BiG World Install'

%IFES%LongerRoad%S%LongerRoad%L%1%SK% 0 2 | %M%


this should be

%IFES%LongerRoad%S%LongerRoad%L%0%SK% 0 2 | %M%

Hello,

I've been trying to get the Big World to install a few mods for about a 2 weeks now. Mostly I want to run TDD, SoS, RoT, ToD, the banter packs, romance packs, and a few NPCs. I was trying to use the BWP 7.0 to install them but was never able to get a install that incorporated all of the mega mods together. Now that I have downloaded BWP 8.0 whenever I click on the bat file to start the installation I get the error saying that:

Minimum requirements are not met.
The listed mods are not present in your BGII - SoA directory

Baldurs Gate Trilogy
TxtMusic

Press any key to continue.

When I would try to install with BWP 7.0 I got options asking if I wanted to do a recommended install, expert, etc.. with 8.0 I only get to choose my language before the install problem. I have been using the BWP to select the mods and download the ones I want to use, but I am still unsuccessful.

Should I just run the fixpack.bat and then try to manually install them?

I appreciate your help

I think you missed the third post made by Leomar in this thread.

Well, the BWP needs the few mods to be installed, BGT being one of them, now you can wait for the BWS v8 to come out and provide you option that doesn't require the BGT as dreamer2007 implied, or you can install the required mods, or you can install the BG2 only; by removing the lines in the BiG World Install.bat by adding the 'rem ' to all the lines before the code(in the code box), you can do the BiG World Install.bat editing with Notepad:

%IFH.%	archivo antes. ­Lee la Gu¡a Big World sobre c¢mo editar este archivo batch!
%.%
%.%
%.%
pause

goto :BGTFULL
:: Although this tool is prepared for a BG2 only install as requested, this step will be skipped.
:: There are unsolved problems (i.E. Worldmap requires BGT) and some incompatibilities I have not checked (and maybe will never do).
%.%
%IFE.%						  G A M E - S E L E C T I O N
%IFE.%						  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 
%IFG.%							S P I E L A U S W A H L
%IFG.%							ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
%IFH.%					  S E L E C C I à N   D E   J U E G O
%IFH.%					  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
%.%

...

%.%
%.%
if /I "%X%"=="B" goto :BGTFULL

So it's starts with:

%IFH.%	archivo antes. ­Lee la Gu¡a Big World sobre c¢mo editar este archivo batch!
%.%
%.%
%.%
pause

rem goto :BGTFULL
rem :: Although this tool is prepared for a BG2 only install as requested, this step will be skipped.
rem :: There are unsolved problems (i.E. Worldmap requires BGT) and some incompatibilities I have not checked (and maybe will never do).
rem %.%
rem %IFE.%						  G A M E - S E L E C T I O N
rem %IFE.%						  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 
rem %IFG.%							S P I E L A U S W A H L
rem %IFG.%							ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
rem %IFH.%					  S E L E C C I à N   D E   J U E G O
rem %IFH.%					  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
rem ...

Or actually, you can just replace the 'goto :BGTFULL' with 'goto :TOBCHECK' and go with:

%IFH.%	archivo antes. ­Lee la Gu¡a Big World sobre c¢mo editar este archivo batch!
%.%
%.%
%.%
pause

goto :TOBCHECK

:: Although this tool is prepared for a BG2 only install as requested, this step will be skipped.
:: There are unsolved problems (i.E. Worldmap requires BGT) and some incompatibilities I have not checked (and maybe will never do).
%.%
%IFE.%						  G A M E - S E L E C T I O N
%IFE.%						  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 
%IFG.%							S P I E L A U S W A H L
%IFG.%							ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
%IFH.%					  S E L E C C I à N   D E   J U E G O
%IFH.%					  ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
...

But that skips few more checks...

No, don't do that.

Sure, you need

goto :VERSION

If you look at the code, the line you are stuck at is between :TOBCHECK und :VERSION.

[amazinggameguru]

dabus, do you have any kind of eta for BWS? Just trying to set aside some time for setup

[Lollorian]

*sigh* Please read the third post. The BWS is being updated for v8, using BWS7 WILL lead to problems

Cheers,
Lol

[Leomar]

Hey, thanks for all the nice feedback and yes, it was much work to get the BWP v8.0 running.

ScuD, thanks for your fix and that you reported this.
Lollorian, thanks for both mentioned fixes.
Hoppy, thank you for the CtB news.
new(Mike), thanks for the typo in the Install.bat.

All your help is very appreciated. Thanks again.


We try to release the "BiG World Setup" this weekend.

Greetings.
First of all, thanks for the new megamod variant.
Secondly, has something been done with sorcerer/cleric not seing all spells from the list? Well, apart from the shadowkeeper variant (just thinking of playing sorcerer).
And for the last (though not quite in topic), what's wrong with rosenranken.org , where to the links for part of the mods lead? Whenever I try to enter the site, it gives "Gast, Sie sind aus diesem Forum verbannt! " which gives the impression of me being banned. The strange part, is that I have dinamic IP plus haven't visited their site apart from downloading mods for one of the previous megamods.

They used to block certain Internet providers (which I presume they get from reverse IP lookup or something) - I don't why though. Maybe yours is still on the list for some odd reason.

Sorry, no changes. It is hardcoded. The best is, to select your spell mods which you want to install, so you don't overload the spell choices or use shadow keeper.

I'll inform Jastey about your problem, perhaps she knows, what the problem is.

I know that it is impossible to add a scrollbar or anything similar, but has anyone looked to see if it might be possible to schrink the size of the icons so that you can display several times as many?(so cut it in half and you could display 4 times as many)

Leomar, Miloch thanks for the reply.
