Hello fellow adventurers,

I heard about this wonderful project just some days ago and i threw myself over my computer and started to read and install...or atleast try to install. Im on my 3e installation and i cant make heads or tails out of this anymore.

First off, i think i used an older version of BW (BiG_World_Setup.exe, couldnt find the version nr, but it was a big white window). I tried this installation 2 times, the first time i got stuck at the CD5/patch bugg, but i got past that after the second installation. However, i always ended up stuck at some part with the mods, where BW asked "do u want to discard these mods? you can, just press NO or CANCEL. I pressed NO to get past it but nothing happend, so i pressed Continue, and at this point the program just closed. "Ok, its done" i thought and tried to find the TobExLoader.exe file. I could only find a folder called TobEx and the exe file under this directory just gave me a small error window. And from what i understand, it should be clear .exe file under the SoA directory. 5h wasted :)

After this missfortune i started to look around your page and found the newest BW file and DL. Reinstalled BG1 and 2, saved and in copy/pasted CD5/Patch into BGII - SoA and then ran the .bat file.
Everything seemed to work ok, but then i got stuck right at the start with this error:

I have no clue what to do now, i have search your forums and i cant find anything about "echoBG2, cechoBaldur´s or echoTxtMusic".
I also installed the BGT-NPCSound-WeiDU v3 to see if that helped but it didnt.


I would be very greatful for any assistance, i feel like such a nuub :( Im sorry if i missed to attach any debugg files or other, i dont really know what might be needed or where to find them. Any advice here would also be appriciated (if needed).

It wants to have setup-bg2fixpack.exe, setup-BGT.exe and setup-TxtMusic.exe in the install-directory.
So go and fetch/unpack these essential mods.
THINK! - It's not illegal.

Use the BiG World Setup beta (it's the v9_20110501) to setup the installation, not just the BiG World Install, as for that you need to follow the instructions that are written in... no where really... well the updated once are not written anywhere...

Hello again fellow adventurers,

Everything sorted itself out when i got the BETA file. Thank you for your help and your excellent work. Atm im plowing BG1 and even though it has been around 12 years since i last played it, it feelt like it was yesterday. That's what's makes a great game.

Thanks again, and good job with this project <3
