This would probably be easier if Big World had its own forum I could find this crap in, but since the last time I installed the BWP was years ago nobody seems to have had that idea in the meantime yet.
Anyway, last time I used it I had this awesome GUI that downloaded and installed everything for me. Which no longer works and now we're back to the stone ages and downloading / installing mods is like a two-day process now.
Just curious but what happened that rendered the program violently incompatible? I keep hearing a whisper about a 'resurrection' but don't see any 'work in progress' threads so can't see much about that either.
Sorry, but uh... what happened to the BWS?

Whoever was maintaining it decided to not maintain it anymore. It was too much work. Now you have to follow a longer set of instructions and download/install everything manually using this guide: http://www.shsforums...newbies-and-up/

That's not correct Usuper 
The Ressurrection is ongoing and there is a working Beta. You may use it and post possible errors here in SHS or at Kerzenburg.

The other side of the story - I'm working on a completely independent project of reviving the BWS from Tim and the other Kerzenburg members - with several key modifications (including porting it to Java) that would hopefully make it better than the AutoIt3 version.
(It's not done yet because I'm a busy guy)

At this point, I'm not really doing much Baldur's Gate related. More focused on Skyrim modding and the Born of Legend tabletop roleplaying game. Don't expect much activity here.

I'm getting a 403 forbidden error from that link. I've read other people that have problems with baldurs-gate.eu because they have a very liberal blacklist on that server I guess. I won't ever be able to use that sadly enough.
