This is ironic... So erhm, what did I do wrong now?
Edit:ZimageZ removed.
Cause I know this is the right directory, cause it's the same in the CD5. And the description is wrong, by the way, as it needs to be in CD5\movies\25Movies.bif, not CD5\Movies\25movies.bif... at least for the 4+1 CD version of BGII - SoA + ToB + patch26498.

Mystery solved... typo I'll kill kilos fro this.

Well, either you missed the trailing backslash in the alias-section of your baldur.ini or vista does some funny things again.

Well I managed to make a bit stable insatllation of my BG big world. It crashed randomly -only one time so far. And yes I did a manual install. Is there any guide how to use the BWP installer tool? I screwep up when i tried use. I mean I put the uncompressed files to to the download folder and the program took a lot of 0 kilobite sized stuff there too then it gave me some error message.

What kind of knowledge you wish to have?
And what do you mean that it crashes randomly? Cause it doesn't do that... believe me.
And more info on this 'manual install' method you say you have done, would be good. Are you intending to make automatic Setup using the BiG World Setup.vbs or a manual Setup using yourself as the downloader/extractor, and automatic install using the BiG World Install.bat, or do it all yourself?

You'll probably have to start the whole process from the start(as you said that you did a manual install), just keep/move the downloaded content into a folder that's not in the game folder, then uninstall the game and remove the game folder... then reinstall it from the beginning and remember to patch the game to the latest official version, not to the 26499beta.

What you do with the extracted files is you put them into the game folder, when that's all done, you run one of the setup-*modname*.exe(this is for safety reasons), but do not install anything so all the setup-*modname*.exe get updated to the latest version(v21300 yesterday). Then you check that all the setup-*modname*.exe's file size is the exact same. And if they are not, you remove the once that are not, and replace them with copies of the others that have been renamed as them(that's called: manually updating the WeiDU.exe's, for reference). And then if you do not wish to continue into the manual install, you start the BiG World Install.bat...

Running around a bit in my BWP standard installation... can't remember that being lvl 1 was quite so hard Got my ass kicked badly by a single bandit

Well anyway, what bothers me more is that I can't find Viconia in Peldvale anymore. And as so often of late, the search function here is out of order... So, does anyone by chance have an idea if there are some prerequisites to be met due to a mod or something in order to be able to see Viconia? Haven't found a clue with NI so far. BG without Viconia in my party just isn't the same

...

She was moved by a couple of mods to the road leading from Beregost to Naskeln. Such as BG1NPCs, SCS ...

[Lollorian]

I'd be happy to help in making a list of purist safe mods if you're interested in making this part of the install process.

I offer help with that too (although I'm no purist, the standard install is getting rather bloated innit?? ) ... I mean - Teddy, Roar, Questor?? One-day NPCs?? No hurt meant

[dabus]

That's why the good mods are in recommended and the bug-free ones are in standard (except the big mods).
And I don't think you should adjust this in the current batch if you want to pic on component-basis.
Otherwise you could just upload your BWS-export-file and others can use them as a basis.

Cheers,

I want to report how my stutter(which I've been suffering in bwp 8.3 tactic; really nasty and made the game unplayable)disappeared after I've moved all the containers(for scrolls,gems,etc.)from inventory to a chest in some area; now, the game is better than ever....and the stuttering wasn't because of my low specs pc which I tended to believe.

About the "Stone of Recall" which teleports your party to a small area ... what mod introduced it?
(The real nice thing with this item is that I can store my NPC's in that area and use them when needed whith their inventoy stuffed with items, cuz' if you leave items on the ground they vanish after some time; and another thing is that you can teleport in the middle of a fight and organize)

That's suggested in my Frequently Answered Questions for the Megamods thread.

Read your WeiDU.log, it has the Salks Cursed Items mod which has a special component that gives the item... you should also know there are a bit of minuses the teleportation introduces, like few minus Xps etc.

Kiitos Jarno!
Now adding Edwin for some bickering and my party is ready to go

Er... could someone kindly answer me about that edwin romance message ?

Thanks to he/she who has the time

[Lollorian]

"Stone of Recall"

There's another mini-pocket-plane item from Konalan's Tweaks (and it has containers!!! )

Er... could someone kindly answer me about that edwin romance message?

If you mean the one you get at the start ...

Illegal creature file [edwin\cre\tknight.cre] (file size is < 724 bytes)

It's known and will be fixed in the next version of the romance (there's a thread in their forums about this ...)

[Himself]

Heya lollo, its about this one:





I wanna know if the contents of this file should be put somewhere ^^

Checked the forum and tried a search (still not working?)

But since you mentioned that knight, yeah, knowing whats wrong with it so as to fix would also be great, the edwin forum just says "it will be on next release" (the post is months old btw), er... the whole reason I started messing around the editors was to not be dependant of "waiting lists" anymore

Edited by Himself, 06 March 2010 - 10:43 PM.

[Lollorian]

Oh

If you wanna do what the mod (tried to do) does, use an editor (NearInfinity for example ... check out Jarno's FAQ's last point for using it in a BWP install ) to open EDWIN.bcs and search for the block in EDWIN_DEGARDAN.BCS (from the mod's edwin/bcs/ folder) and replace that block with the block in EDWIN_DEGARDAN_ROMANCE.bcs (from the same mod's folder)

You'll have to open the mod's bcs'es using NI's File->"Open File" box and then drag the mod bcs'es to that box

Checked the forum and tried a search (still not working?)

Still broke unfortunately

the whole reason I started messing around the editors was to no be dependant of "waiting lists" anymore

I'm with you on that one Helps the BWP dudes as well
