It would help if you tell us what OS you're running, and which antivirus (if any) you have

It would help if you tell us what OS you're running, and which antivirus (if any) you have

I'm running Vista and Avast. I used BWP before (a couple of months ago) without any problem (I don't run it in the main partition), I wanted to update the mods. If you confirm me it's an unnatural behaviour, I can try with a fresh install. I think it has something to do with the Trimpack or the generalized biffing (that I didn't even select). Thanks for the help.

[Lollorian]

Maybe the Vista users around here might wanna help with the Vista part

But one thing about Avast, you need to turn off the Standard Shield (in v4.8 or less) or the File System Shield AND Behavior Shield (in v5 and above) for the .exe patches at the end to work properly

Wait a sec, are you trying to upgrade a previous BWP into the BWPv9?? That, unfortunately, isn't possible because of the way megamods do stuff (even in the old versions ) you'll need a fresh reinstall to enjoy the (awesome awesome) benefits of the ToBEx and the W_GUI and updated megamods and stuff But wait till some Vista advice comes along ...

Do not install WGUI if you want scrollable mage and priest-spellbooks.
Taimon said that WGUI seems to changes the length of some arrows and thus the math behind the clicking is likely to be screwed up. At least we had an issue over at the Kerzenburg where a player was not able to scroll.

So if you installed some mods that provide amounts of new spells, it might be better to not use WGUI.

[Vlar]

Thanks very much for your help, the problem resided probably in Avast, because now it works .
I'd have another question even if probably this isn't the right place. Why isn't there in BWP the option for Weidu-Ascension? What should I do if I want Ascension? Is BP-Ascension exactly the same thing? Is in this case BP-A compatible with SCS-II like Weidu-A? Thanks if you can answer

[dabus]

If you want the Ascension-mod, you will have to put it the batch where you think it belongs or install it manually. Ascension is only supported through BP since the other mod had some issues. Don't ask me which...

[Lollorian]

@Vlar: The original Ascension overwrote some files (which is BAD!!! ) so it was replaced by the BP-Ascension (which patches stuff rather than overwriting)

According to the install.bat, the Ascension part can be installed with the SCS AI (but some dudes have said that BP is needed for BP-Ascension to work properly ) And you shouldn't try installing both BP and SCS AI unless you want problems ... of the crashy kind

Personally, I stick with BP AI (just because of the fact that BPSeries needs it )

[dabus]

@Jess:

Some files cannot be downloaded with the "BiG World Setup".
Do you want to try to load the mods again or open the links in your default-browser to try it yourself?
Enter [y]es, [r]etry or [n]o.

So BWS offers to open the download-locations for these missing files.
You should do just that and answer y.

[Lollorian]

Would I just simply copy these four files over-riding what's in the BGII main directory and then run the v9.0 installer?

It's not simply overwriting the current folders, you have to delete and then copy the backup (the override folder probably contains TONS of stuff that aren't in the backup override )

[maximus2001]

What you do is run the setup again. It tells you mods and files are present in your BG2 folder and asks do you want to delete them. It then asks you if you want to restore a clean backup which you select yes, and then the setup erases everything and downloads the mods if they are not still present in the BWP download folder. Just make sure you select restore clean backup and its all automatic. I've done this about 10 times now.

[maximus2001]

Well the new expert install of BWP 9 (with a lot deselected) worked fine except for two things.

1)Kontweaks refused to install again. I probably messed up the install.bat, but now can I add it to the end of install without problems?


rem %IFNLS%KonTwk%IFNIF%aTweaks%S%KonTwk%L%0%SK% 9 | %M%
%IFNLS%KonTwk%S%KonTwk%L%0%SK% 9 11 13 14 15 --logapp | %M%


I did it this way because I preferred the KonTwk version of paladin patch over the Atweaks one. KTweak gives holy smite and immune disease to all paladins, and Atweak only to two of them. I guess the "rem" canceled it all out.

2)TOBEX beta 2 also didn't install. No clue there, have posted in misc mod section for more info on that.


After a little testing saw that Kim npc mod has the soundset only in French (a nice voice though), but it looks like a well done npc.
Fade npc has only 2 sounds when selected, otherwise no soundset.
Ninde npc has no soundset.

Is it possible to use BWP without BG1 installed?

Sigh... sorry for the redudancy guys. I read all the info text in the setup program, just needed write a minus- in the bg1 directory slot.

I must have moar METICULOUS!

[Suslik]

Hello guys. First of all, thanks for the great work. It was a shock to know that there is still a community interested in my favourite game, it is alive and kicking.

I've read the installation part of your manual "BiG World English v9.0.pdf", followed the instructions and now i can't go any further:
I use "standart" installation, and when the program checks availability of downloads, in summary it says:

-Summary-
These selected downloads are defect:

Baldurdash (BD-WeiDU) v1.6.8
Kiara-Zaiya NPCs (with translations) v1.6

What do you recommend me to do?

[dabus]

Both mods are available and false positives in this case.
The first is caused by a server the BWS cannot handle, the second my be cause by some other issue.
You will be asked if you want to fetch missing mods manually, which will open the download-page in your web-browser, which should fit in most cases.

So just go on.
