Hi, I've got a couple of questions: I was using BW 8.2 and everything worked fine, but my AV software deleted some files on his own, and so I did a complete reinstall of BG+BG2+BW, now, the problem is that with the latest version 8.2.1 Big World Setup when Link Testing it doesn't find files already present in the Download folder (backedup before reinstalling), the same happens during download process (and there it seems to be unable to interact with shs links), any clue? Just 1 hour before everything was working fine with BWS8.2 (UAC in W7 and AV are off).

[EDIT]
Mmmmm I think I've sorted out the problem, I've downloaded Installpack 8.2.1, unzipped the content in BG2 folder, and then I run the BWS, and it didn't work; I did a reinstall of BWS 8.2, and now everything work fine.... so we're not supposed to manually unzip Installpack 8.2.1 before running BWS? I think I'm dumb

Nope. I think your system has problems closing TCP/IP-connections to the shs-pages.
After you hit the limit, it takes a while to get them closed automatically.
I also remember only a few guys reporting that -- and a bit of waiting always solved that.

I have a solutions for that problem but not the time to implement that.

I'm playing the BWP, and am in BG2 right now. I checked a walkthrough for The Darkest Day, and realized that when I talked to the kender at the City Gates, he should have dropped a map to Eshpurta. He didn't. Does anyone know the CLUAConsole code I could use to get that map, so I can do that part of the game? Thanks in advance!

Everytime I reinstall the BG series and all the mods with Big World, I feel the urge to say "Thank you!!!" because you did an amazing work with your project, you made the life of us BG fanatics really easier .

I apologize if this has been posted before.

I'm in the middle of an install and get the following:

The following mod(s) could not be downloaded:
Ashes of Embers v27: The Mod itself (refinements_windows_3.20.exe)
Rogue Rebalancing (RR) v4.33: The Mod itself (lightmaps1.3.zip)
Item Revisions v2: The Mod itself (BP_BGT_Worldmap_v7_1.rar)
BGT Graphical User Interface (GUI) v1.08: The Mod itself (W_GUI_v0.2.rar)

It appears the URL for all 4 items is '-'. I've tried searching, and can't find the files on the internet at all. Where can I find them, or are they included in other mods and I should be fine?

[Lollorian]

Wait a sec ... the modnames and mod-filenames (in the brackets) don't match at all

Nope, I was wrong...

Your message looks really weird.

Stop your installation and exit the "BiG World Setup". Start the "BiG World Setup" again and do all the needed stuff until you're in the mod selection screen. Then look into your "BiG World Download" folder. There must be the following files with exact these numbers:

BWS_Programupdates-2010-01-10.7z
BWS_Linkupdates-20100203_0.7z

If you have them, then go on with your installation.

Greetings Leomar

I really don't want to miss out on a fair portion of TDD...
Does anyone know how I can get Eshpurta to show on my map? The kender didn't drop the map... Please???

Well, you could try to console him or the item in with:

CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("ddkend01")
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("ddmap01")

First off, I'll start with a thanks for updating to 8.3 As always, the string of applause will continue:

Spoiler

I see the install.bat got a MAJOR overhaul (kits, IA (), a new fun-mods section <points to Miloch> )!!!

And now, some nitpicking The cleanup.bat doesn't clean these mods:

Spoiler

HardTimes
IAAurFix
Mystigan
VampireTales

and it will also skip 3 folders with spaces in their names (Mod backups, NSC Portaits, BWL Contest)

All in all, thanks a lot again!!!

Application Name: BGMain.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.1

That's the plain BG1... do you have the TotSC addon? If you do, you need to start the BGMain2.exe, not the normal BGMain.exe...

1) Start the Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account Control on or off -> Uncheck the box next to 'Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer', and push OK, then restart the computer.
2) Install the BG1 into a directory called "C:\Games\Baldur's Gate" ... DO NOT INSTALL IT INTO THE DEFAULT FOLDER !! Or if you are going to, then put it into another drive, like the D...
3) Install the Tales of the Sword Coast addon.
4) Install the patch v(1.3.)5512.
5) Play the game.
6) Modify the game to your hearts content, and then you can enable the UAC again.

Or this could help...
