Yes, I'm just asking which other mods need to be installed after BP Ascension to avoid being overwritten by BP Ascension per Lollorian's post earlier: http://www.shsforums...ogram/?p=587321

Even for Bioware NPCs those with xxxxxRomance mod add-ons, BP will restore the original Viconias, Keldorns Anomens etc but most of the original cast have their own Romance mod (or even more than one) by now

A few problems I've encountered after I've used BWS 5133511e1977(SHA).

 

1. Open Debug doesn't do anything. At the end, the program errors out as it complains that it can't open the debug logs.

2. Diff Tweak download link is a 404.

3. The Picture Standard process hangs in the middle:

 

SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED      Main -> Vanilla
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition>Main -> Vanilla (The Picture Standard for BG2:EE) was installed successfully.
### 2000: Followers -> Vanilla ###
Ready for installation
### 10000: Rogue Rebalancing -> Vanilla ###
Ready for installation
### 13500: T'was A Slow Boat -> Lore Alternative ###
Ready for installation
### 15000: Gavin -> Vanilla ###
Ready for installation
### 15500: Gavin -> Alternative ###

The following process could not be started:
Setup-thepicturestandard.exe --no-exit-pause --noautoupdate --language 0 --skip-at-view  --force-install-list 2000 10000 13500 15000 15500 --logapp.
This may be caused by several reasons.

The Setup-thepicturestandard.exe -file is likely missing, just copy one of the other Setup-*modname*.exe's and name it as Setup-thepicturestandard.exe... and.. I don't know.

Yep, Jarno Mikkola. my Mega Mod FAQ. Use of the BWS, and how to use it(scroll down that post a bit). 
OK, desert dweller, welcome to the sanity, you are free to search for the limit, it's out there, we drew it in the sand. Ouh, actually it was still snow then.. but anyways.

Also one more thing, "Your Selection" mod selection remembers NPCs and NPC related mods correctly, but it doesn't remember BG2 Tweaks or unselecting Diff Tweak or The Picture Standard.

Thanks for the attention :)

Thanks for the reports. Will look into these tomorrow.

The Picture Standard install problem might mean that we have incorrect numbers in BWS for some of the components you selected.

I deselected all modded NPCs and deselected the pictures of them in "The Picture Standard".

CAn you consider the chance of subbing the current item revision and spell revision with the beta versions that can be found here?

By the way, Agb1 are you the new mantainer of BWS?  what happened to quiet and Alien?

And what about Lollorian? Is he still in these shores?

Low hung brow, dazed look on your face..... It appears that you are correct, my friend. You are indeed a complete imbecile.

agb1 joined the team recently, but no, but Alien has been active recently as well, quiet has been Silent for a while .. still contributing. And Lollorian has been in and out, mostly fixing his fixes. But things creep up the install order, so being the last mod to try to effect fixes has it's work cut out.

Haven't checked this yet.
2. Diff Tweak download link is a 404.
The Dropbox link has expired. I've requested a new link on the Beamdog forum thread.
3. The Picture Standard process hangs in the middle
Found a mistake in BWS (invalid combination of components was selected by default). Should be fixed with latest BWS update.

The Enhanced Edition game types use the latest v4 beta already. For BGT, we are still using the old v3.

We can't easily support a choice of v3 or v4, but we could switch BGT to use v4 exclusively like we did for the Enhanced Editions.

Any objections?

Revised installation order for 1pp and for Baldurdash item restoration components, updated Item Revisions and Spell Revisions to v4 pre-releases for BGT, added warning for aTweaks' Dimension Door (thanks Liz), corrected various rules (thanks Greenhorn)

Well, duhh, I have an objection. Newest Item revision v4 is missing halberds can slash and pierce ( probably because this is EE compatible and this tweak is already included in those games ) which I always use in BGT even if I don't install component 0. Not that my opinion is likely to change something, relevant and asked for though...  :P

When you run the BiG World Setup.vbs program, it should automatically update itself to the newest version.

 

If not, you can download it manually from the link in my signature.

Thank you, it worked!
Another question: i see some many portraits in mods that i have installed, and my override folder it's strangely half-empty. When i have installed mods manually, it was much fuller. Why?
