After many delays BWPv14 finally is ready to release. I tried again to improve the install order of the tweaks and took into account all the terms given by the mods. Not all is implemented or tested yet, however, I don't want a further delay.

The new Stratagems is extremly delicate (fortunately!) and chucks at every incorrect file. For this reason I found several errors and typos now in other mods that had been undetected until yet. I hope I have fixed them all correctly.

Now I have included the kit mods from Lollorians Kit-List (and a few more). I have also rearranged the install order of Refinements and the kits. Only a few of them should be installed after Refinements according to their readmes. However, I'm not sure about that. Other than one of the readmes states I got not any crash when installing the kits before. That still has to be investigated by some experienced players. For more details see the PDF.

Although the BWP covers more than 500 mods, that does not mean you should install them all, but whatever you choose among them should be installed correctly, at least with the .bat file.

Now the install.bat file supports a manual install. That means, if you select this option the install.bat pauses at every mod with several components and offers the components in question.

Note: The Install.bat not only installs mod after mod, but also restores continuously missing entries in several IDS files. Without this feature installation of many components will fail (you will get the parse error). As a result of this you may not use WeiDU's re-install function. Because the corrections made by the install.bat are not reported by WeiDU you will not get the same result as before when you re-install.

As a workaround the install.bat changes every existing instances of the wrongly 0x0000 BARBARIAN and 0x0000 WILDMAGE which are added by dozens of mods to the correct 0x40000000 BARBARIAN and 0x80000000 WILDMAGE

The install.bat now stops at every warning and parse error - however, with Lollorian's help, there is none! (exept one with w_psionics_unleashed)
Regarding w_psionics_unleashed: With this kit the avatar stutters and shows wrong animations.

 

If you have any suggestions how and why I should do any changes, please post them here.

Leonardo, what about 1PP High Quality Music mod - is it compatible with BWP or not? Erephine has given some installation instructions at http://www.shsforums...-pst/?p=545144. Wondering if you've tried installing it with BWP.

[Lollorian]

And I've got all of dem mods

 

@majikwheel:

 

The BiG World Project (BWP) is a set of instructions (and tools) that help you make a 500+ mod BGII installation... The BWP Installpack is one of those tools that automate the installation of those 500+ mods. It has boring (and scary) black screens with extremely fast scrolling text in them

 

The BiG World Setup (BWS) is a tool that replaces the BWP Installpack and uses the other BWP tools with a nice GUI interface with buttons and stuff (to click and play with ) You should try it out sometime

 

I use the installpack because I'm hipster and shit

 

@ALIEN:

Thanks for the link

 

Now that the textpacks are updated, the BWPFixpack master link is safe to be used (please wait for a single commit that will happen tomorrow that syncs the current master branch with the v14 BWPFixpack - I missed quite a few recent updates - BGGraphics for example)

 

@micbaldur:

Thanks for the effort man - I got all of them via PM though

[micbaldur]

Thanks Leonardo for this update.

 

Thanks also to Lollorian for maintaining BWP Fixpack.

 

Even though i can't use it for long time.

 

Nice addition to BWP with mods like Jamella's Diablo2 Item Store for BG2TOB v1.3, Crusader Pack v4.3 and Holy Avengers v1.02 (use those or used before). Also great to see comeback of Exnem mod.

 

I noticed thar you have reversed install order of TS and NEJ again. Has something changed like update to either mod or some kind of fix to mod or mods.

 

I wondered about this in PDF-file.

 

TS v7.04is designed to be installed after NEJ!

 

One question about The MTS Crappack v4 why is it deprecated?

 

It has one important component "Install Charlotte sans Menagerie by Sir Billy Bob (BP/SoS)". Without it Charlotte extremely annoying because you can't control her. Is there fix or component somewhere else?

 

Also i'm wondering which is right ArcaneArcher mod (i have 2).

 

"Arcane Archer mod for Baldur's Gate II by Doug Piranha" and "Arcane Archer mod by  aWoundedLion"?

[majikwheel]

Ahh ok thanks for that !=p

[micbaldur]

@ Lollorian: No problem, glad that you get those mods.

 

I'm too missing some mods:

 

Nameless Melody Inn 2
Rukrakia NPC 0.8
Tomoyo and the Underground City 0.9
Umbra of TROW - Arena 1.0
Houyi 1.0
YLItems Pack 1.0

 

But luckily i don't need those mods anytime soon.

Do you tend to speak Chinese? You are not missing much if you don't.
White Agnus posted some links for the new additions if you need them click.

Well actually no, i don't speak chinese but if Nightfarer translate those mods is english then i don't need to.

 

Thanks for the links but i already all those mods. Now i also know which Arcane Archer kit is right one. Thanks for that.

[dabus]

I'd disable @echo off at various places and see what happens.

[new(Mike)]

Replace the first line in BiG World Installpack\config,bat:

@echo off
:: replace off with on
@echo on

With @echo on, there'll be additional output that tells you what's going on.
Maybe your system does not find/contain the tools that it needs or they don't work on your system.
