Hmmm, I took a llok at 09_Install.au3 and here is what I found (line 117) :

FileCopy($g_BG2Dir&'\WeiDU\WeiDU.exe', $g_BG1Dir&'\Setup-bg1tp.exe', 1)
If $Success = -1 Then
_Process_Run('Setup-BG1TP.exe --force-uninstall-list 0', 'Setup-bg1tp.exe')
If StringInStr(FileRead($g_BG1Dir&'\WeiDU.log'), @LF&'~bg1tp') Then
_Misc_MsgGUI(4, _GetTR($Message, 'T1'), _GetTR($Message, 'L6'), 1, _GetTR($Message, 'B1')); => cannot remove old TP
Exit
EndIf

I think I have understood : this is intended !
I have probably remove the wrong mod

Edit : I personally think it's bad idea to change something to the BG1 directory

Leonardo views that as essential and Leomar told me they to add that mod in the BWS-installation.
So I just did the same with other text-corrections that were included in the BWP.

If you want to remove that, delete the lines from 165 to 178 (just looking for French might have brought you there ).

[Fouinto]

RIGHT ! thank you ! I didn't think to look for "French"

Full story : I have just found that there is a problem with the current version of BG1correcFR and BG2correcFR : they use the same name for setup.exe and tp2 file... That's why I tried to remove these mods
I will find the authors to tell them.

Thank you !

[dabus]

Well, as long as the one for BG1 is put into the BG1 and the other into the BG2-folder, I don't see a big issue.
As you said, renaming one would make the difference/meaning clearer though.

[dabus]

Thanks to Silent - arcanecoast.ru, the BWS has a Russian translation now.
Reworked descriptions in the download-/extraction-process, fixed some glitches and added a few things here and there.
Get it from this page as usual. Click the archive-link for a more or less complete change-log.

[dabus]

Read the help that's written in almost every window of the user interface?
Understand what's going on.
Start anew.

Ok, lets sum it up:
-it downloads mods into the download-folder that you selected by selecting a pre-selection or selected by yourself.
-it extracts into the BG2-folder
-it installs those components that you selected and are still available (if download or extraction failed)

[Beleg33]

I have installed many BWP manually from the time BWS was unsupported so I already have a folder full of mods I regularly use. I have repackaged some for easier extraction (like IA to include all available packs, or one of the Imoen mods that contain an extra folder layer).
I want to know if I can just use the BWS to create a custom batch file without manual editing?
Will it require me to re-download the whole IA + packages?

[dabus]

You can't create custom batches with the BWS cause it's not using the BiG World Install.bat during the custom installation . The batch is used as the reference, but it's not executed if the predefined bwp/batch-install is not used.

You can save/load or export/import a selection from the component-selection screen. So you'd go with the export if you want to save your selection.
You can customize the mod.ini and select to not update mods and do link-updates and skip the download.
Put the name and size of your IA-package into the mod.ini and remove the save-key from the IAContentXX-packages..

[infinityanimations]
...
Save=myinfinityanimations.rar
Size=1242956978

Normally you could also force the BWS to use a package that does not fit with the given name or size or insert Manual as the name. It would just skip that download and extraction. But since IA is special and needs the content-packages as a dependency to install some components, they either need to exist (you could use an empty file as a dummy and force the BWS to use that) or you need to remove those dependencies from the Setup.ini and skip those file.

Alright, thanks. If I understand this right, I'd still have to manually edit the batch file to, for example, add new aTweaks components (I don't know if latest installpack has those yet) ?

BTW the latest BWS download is somehow corrupted and fails to extract 7z.exe. Here's error message :

Spoiler

From pop-up box :
Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation.

And the other message in "log" :
CRC failed in BiG World Setup\Tools\7z.exe
Unexpected end of archive

So I extracted previous version saying "no to all" when asked to overwrite

[Beleg33]

Holy s...! The BWS has quite evolved since I last used it around 2010~ This is really nice, now the install commands are ran in BWS GUI with preselected mods/components

But you aren't prompted with the questions that the batch file had, like no AI selection? I found it weird some SCS components - Smarter Illasera I think -required dependency with BP's similar component - Improved Illasera in this case - which requires BP main component to be selected, while I also picked AI enhancement from SCS~ Has the BWS now overcome the incompatibilities between both AIs?
Why do you now coerce the player into using BGT even if they don't want to?

About previous question I guess I'm gonna go with the regular archives and let the automated extraction deal with them.

Great stuff anyway, I didn't expect that after many manual extractions and tedious batch file editing.

1. Seems like a script issue, be it from dialogue, shout script, area script... depends how that fight is triggered. The soldiers are not innocent so you can attack them without reputation loss. They should turn hostile as soon as you start attacking.

2. I haven't installed SCS2 AI components in a while because of this. I'm currently playing with BP AI and the game still sometimes hangs when I pause at the exact moment the contingency/triggers are applied. Also currently installing SCS2 AI in another megamod to see if it's playable.

3. WeiDU.log located in your game main folder. Whenever you have an issue with megamod install you should provide it, either its content in spoiler tags or as an attachment if you use a registered account.

PS : You could/should have started a new thread instead but now is too late I guess. Make a new one if you have further questions & issues.

The BWS does not have those questions since it's got the component selection.
If you'd select some components and then have a set of questions that go in another direction would be a bit wired. So I tried to include those connections between the mods as always and since the batch includes a mix with both mods, I ended up with nothing being excluded.
You can select the AI by selecting the items from the treeview or using the groups-menu. Adding SCS AI that way should be as simple as using the add-menu>special>Normal SCS AI.
But I guess you guys know better than me what to select if you want a tactical install.
If the pre-selections are missing some aspect in your opinion, I'll include your exported selection if you attach it to a post here and write a little description like this one:

Arkenor's Adventure Picks - Adds the maximum amount of adventure while leaving out items and mods that make the game just easier, unbalanced or more unstable. It uses the BiG Picture AI rather than SCS and some strict XP reduction. Thus don't feel bad if you may want to bump yourself a level at the beginning.

The components Illasera and Yaga-Shura need some files from BP to work. Some guys posted installation-errors here because those files were missing and I searched and found them in the corresponding BP-components.

[Sai]

Does this meant he BWS has be revived? Are there any download links?

[dabus]

No, it's not revived. I'm constantly linking to my porn stash.

[Beleg33]

The components Illasera and Yaga-Shura need some files from BP to work. Some guys posted installation-errors here because those files were missing and I searched and found them in the corresponding BP-components.

Alright here's how I believe it works :

These tactical components from SCS2 : "Smarter (Illasera/Yaga Shura/Abazigal)" require either Ascension-WeiDU (not installed by BWS/BWP) or BP "Improved (Illasera/ Yaga Shura/Abazigal)" components, which require BP-Ascension to be installed, >> not BP Core. <<

Smarter Gromnir/Melissan only require Ascension-WeiDU or BP-Ascension. BP Improved Gromnir not required for Smarter Gromnir.
BP Improved Demogorgon requires BP-Ascension, not BP Core.

Going to test it to confirm after fixing dependencies locally.

EDIT : Change made to setup.ini at line 189 from

Improved fights/scripts need AI=D:BPv180(3|17|18|19|20|21):BPv180(0)

to

Improved fights/scripts need AI=D:BPv180(3|21):BPv180(0)

The reason is that BP components 16/17/18/19/20 install the few BP scripts they use without need of BP Core.

Example with installation of component 19 Improved Illasera in Setup-BPv180.tp2, line 28545
