Hi Dabus, I've got a doubt.

If I write a - in the line where there should be the folder of my bg 1 install (because I don't have BG1 )

and I choose the "recommended" version to be installed, will it automatically cleanse the compilation from the BG1 mods?

2) Also, I wonder. Is there a way to export the selection I've made inside BWS if I still didn't install it? I exported the file, but it is* kinda unlikely anyone is able to read this:

[...]

And I would like to have some suggestions about my compilation...

I exported the file, but it kinda unlikely anyone is able to read this:

Hi hi hih... Well, I can tell you that that compilation doesn't have any BG1 mods, and it has various things... You might want to add in the Widescreen mod for example... yes, I can interpret that, and you can too if you if you can associate the shorter names to mods and then look them up in the BWP PDF file, you know exactly what components are to be installed. Funny thing, the .bat file kinda would almost look the same.

Interesting. I'm still tweaking my mod configuration. As soon as I'm done I will post it on the BWP forum. Thanks for the insight

Hi Dabus,

there are two new mods worth being added to the Big World Setup

Sarevok Friendship

Ninde Tob

together with Atweaks.

wonder what should I tweak to add them?

[dabus]

Read docs\Faq.htm. You should get the information you need there.
Or (easier) pause at some point during the installation of NPCs and install the mods then.
(At least I guess that's where it should be installed.)

Thanks Dabus . I know how to do it, but I'm a lazy bastard

You didn't fall in my trap

Anyway, happy new year! D:

Hi!

 

I just started new BWS install after 2 years, and I must say this setup grew great. Well done Dabus!

Everything works like it should be and I really enjoy selecting mods and installing.

 

EDIT: Tested some more and found out that new version of BGTNEJ2 breaks old one. So my mistake, sorry. I'm a bit rusty. :-)

 

And those Chinese mods that Test Person searched for, are on this page: http://trow.cc/forum/index.php?act=idx

I had to register to download them. Nameless Melody Inn is now version 2.1

 

To register you have to go on this page: http://trow.cc/forum...act=Reg&CODE=00

It is in English now. After registration and login, files for mods are on these links:

 

Nameless Melody Inn 2.1 (it is called Traveler now)

http://trow.cc/forum...ads&showfile=43

 

Umbra of TROW - Arena

http://trow.cc/forum...ds&showfile=303

 

NMR Happy Patch

was in this thread: http://trow.cc/forum...showtopic=15430

but download link don't work and I can't find it anywhere else, but it seams that Leonardo has translated version.

Hi Dabus, I want to play Ninde Tob.

I wonder and how I can manage to make BWS download the new version
(the Tob part seems to be integrated into the Soa part).

should I just put the archive when asked in the download folder, to avoid all the problems?

Thank you

After you do the next link-update, the url should be replaced by the new one and v2 should be fetched.
The component-description might still be wrong, but as you said, it would still install the same component number with new content.

[dabus]

You could use this block:

	If FileExists($g_BG2Dir&'\dsotsc\setup-dsotsc.tp2') Then
		$Text=FileRead($g_BG2Dir&'\dsotsc\setup-dsotsc.tp2')
		If StringInStr($Text, Chr(0)) Then
			$Handle = FileOpen($g_BG2Dir&'\dsotsc\setup-dsotsc.tp2', 2) ; Open for reading binary
			FileWrite($Handle, StringReplace($Text, Chr(0), ''))
			FileClose($Handle)
		EndIf
	EndIf

... to replace this block:

	If FileExists($g_BG2Dir&'\dsotsc\setup-dsotsc.tp2') Then
		$Text=FileRead($TP2)
		If StringInStr($Text, Chr(0)) Then
			$Handle = FileOpen($TP2, 2) ; Open for reading binary
			FileWrite($Handle, StringReplace($Text, Chr(0), ''))
			FileClose($Handle)
		EndIf
	EndIf

Or reload the setup, unpack it somewhere else and copy the BiG World Setup\Includes\07_Extract.au3 to replace the existing one.
As you can see, it would fix the problem with BWS and the DSotSC if I just didn't do something stupid (like replacing $TP2 and leave the variable in use later...

Thank you. Always helpful.

Mr. Dabus- thank you for the assistance.  I'm finally fully installed BWS tactical however Imoen doesn't appear after Irenicus leaves so the game never starts.  I've researched and found the NEWGAME.bcs file, dropped it in my override, however she still does not show up.  I can't find any other ideas.  If you or anyone knows, I would really appreciate any thoughts, thanks as always for this amazing product.

Did you install the bugged BGTNEJ v1.1's Imoen component ? Its corrupted, the current v1.2 should be fine, I just have no idea why the BWS still holds to the old one... perhaps Dabus just didn't ever see this.

Edited by Jarno Mikkola, 20 January 2013 - 04:16 AM.

[dabus]

You linked to the BGT NeJ2 Compatibility Modification 1.2 (Setup-BGTNeJ2) - which is included in the BWS. That's not BGT NEJ2 1.1 (Setup-BGTNeJ.exe)
At least that's what Leomar told me back then.

[Walter]

Jarno- thanks for the assist but no dice. I downloaded your link, installed but she still won't show up.  Maybe she's just shy...

 

Any other thoughts?  Maybe i should just do a reinstall. Thanks again.

And the difference is ? Ahh, the "DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD" -hahahah.

[dabus]

Eh?

First is the compatibility for BGT.

BGTNeJ2
@0=BGT-NeJ2 Compatibility Patch
@1=Custom Portraits For Imoen and Jaheira
@2=Boo - Minsc's Familiar Fixes
@3=Custom Firewalker Kit and continuity for Shar-Teel
@4=Merchant League Store

Second is an extract of the "optional" components.

BGTNeJ
@0=Continuous and Custom Kit Imoen
@1=New Imoen Portrait
@2=Priest of Sylvanus (Druid) Kit and Improved Character Jaheira.
@3=New Jaheira Portrait
@4=Boo - Familiar of Minsc (This component is not available in BG1!)
@5=Various Enhancements for BG1 (BGT required!)
@6=Merchant League Bank (BGT required!)
@7=More Items from BG1 (BGT required!)
@8=Tougher Black Talone Elites (BGT required!)

Okay, this quite weird and I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to modding so bear with me if I'm being an idiot:

 

I installed the straight "Tactic" version of the BWS, and during the install process, quite near to the beginning, I noticed I was having to skip a few mods that were missing different dependencies from Sword Coast Stratagems II. Now I am about 70% through the install, and it says it's installing SCS II! Has something messed up the installation order?

[dabus]

Usually not since it goes as BWP and that's used quite a bit, but it also depends what message that would be.
Could also be some other mod wasn't installed and by dependency you got another mod involved which is needed by scsII and - bang! - you got some messages about SCSII.
