If your interested:

Looks like this time around it only said that on that mod,...

 

"When you exit the "BiG World Setup", the "BiG World Install.bat" will be

started.
 
To prevent problems during the patching process, close your additional
security programmes. Before doing that, close all open Internet connections for
safety reasons.
 
Thank you very much for using the "BiG World Setup"."

It's currently (attempting) to install… Lets see if it actually gets anywhere.

Yes, I could see those settings from the BiG World Debug.txt.

I could not see what you selected here:
[1] Do you want to choose a preselection?
or
[2] Do you want to filter the mods according to various parameters?
or
[3] Do you want to pause at mods with several components and select them
yourself manually?
(Use this feature with caution! Don't complain if the components
you have edited ruin your installation.)
or
[4] Do you want to use an installer changed by your own and skip the settings?
WARNING: This option should only be used by very experienced and keen on
experimenting players. You probably will run into problems and therefore
you should be able to use NearInfinity!
or
[5] Do you want to install all you can get? (not recommended)
If you use 3 it would be possible to end up in installing nothing at all if I read the script correctly. The selection is saved inside the file BWP-settings.txt.

Picked 3, no errors noticed. picked choices on mod conflicts, etc.

 

here's the newest .txts with install.bat etc included in case there's some coding typo or something

Ok. So as thought, that was a little buggy.

Rightclick > Edit the BiG World Install.bat
Scroll down to line 75 ([CTRL]+[G] usually does the trick):
%IFN% "BiG World Project.installed" %IFN% "BWP_Install_started.nul" goto :STARTINS

Call ".\%BWIP%\service.bat"
goto :EXIT

:STARTINS
Call ".\%BWIP%\config.bat"

Append this underneath:
findstr /I /M "InstQ" %SET%>nul
if %errorlevel%==0 (
	SET INST="%BWIP%\Install_q.bat"
	SET INSTI="%BWIP%\Install_q.bat"
	call ".\%BWIP%\individual.bat"
)
(The next line would be findstr /I /M "process allyouget" %SET%>nul).

If your install exists and you want to continue, remove the first/upper code-block that I quoted, save the file under a name like BiG World Install_continue.bat and run that file to continue right from point where the configuration was done. Beware that it does not check if the game is modded, skips file-checks and so on but just runs though the install.

No idea it thinks it [megamod] exists but there's no actual megamod installed.? :lol2:

 

tried the coding fix not sure I got right, sigh… My brain's half-asleep don't understand what it wants sometimes… Can understand normal Install.bat though.

 

Could someone provide a fixed version? I don't mind if there's somehow added/editted code to replace/overwrite files  :ermm:

Eh, apparently it [BWS] downloaded and installed Ascension even though I had it unselected. Still prefer Longer Road. Has these been updated enough or is there still going to be issues between 'em?

 

Edit: ahhh good, it didn't actually install.

 

Edit2: Did above quote copied into a .bat, although it kinda got stuck on a Fixpack endless looping until just used space for "none"

hmm...

Eh, you selected:

 

 

3] Do you want to pause at mods with several components and select them yourself manually?
(Use this feature with caution! Don't complain if the componentsyou have edited ruin your installation.)

 

 

So the Install.bat calls the individual.bat which loops through the setups / components that are usually installed and calls the install_q.bat.

This one asks for the language, then should display the available components and asks for the components that you want.

BG2fixpack for instance will look like this:

So it's not loopin but waiting for your selection. If you are ok with 0 and 3, you press enter, if you want 0 only, delete the 3 and press enter. If you pressed space here, it seems like you just skipped the installation of the (bg2)fixpack. :whistling:

 

Edit: By the way,

 

Edit BiG World Installpack\install_q.bat and search for Setup-%~1.exe --list-components "%TP2_PATH%" 0 --no-exit-pause and replace it by Setup-%~1.exe --list-components "%TP2_PATH%" %TRA% --no-exit-pause

(You just delete the 0 and replace it with %TRA%)

This will show you the components in the language that you selected.

More awake now.

 

So uh when it asks on certain mods for Language but doesnt say which numbers for which language, do I assume 0 for English? - no list at all even, just awaits my input. (Although one mod I noticed it was 1 for English)  :ermm:

Soo…? Also, has the Ascension/Redemption(/Turnabout) been updated enough to not cause compatibility problems with Longer Road? Install.bats don't mention any conflicts with but I'd rather be sure.

 

Also what's Birthday Mod and anyone possibly have a copy?

 

 

 

That's install..bat not install_q.bat. Use this one:
http://dabus.bplaced...r/install_q.bat

 

Just put it in folder where previous resides? Launch it or?

 

 

---

install that lets install without the checks seems to stop after BG2Fixpack/1pp4? Does have more mods than that, here screen short BG2 folders next spoiler:  Sorry, screenshots tricky/may be awhile. Would it help to have size of file beside name just in case?

Guess you put the install_q.bat into the BiG World Installpack-folder and went ahead with the BiG World Install.bat.

Don't know about the problem here... Oversight seems to be installed quiet at the end of the install.
If you cannot post screenshots, you can copy and paste the text from the cmd-window. Right-Click on the window, select mark, use the mouse to select the text, press enter and you got the text in your clipboard and can paste it here. Think that's better anyway.

VM froze-crashed during an install try. Anyways, the above somehow seems to just end/cut off early the BGT Megamod installation; "press enter to exit" and nothing else happens so it's likely missing the whole BGT megamod..

Dunno what's up with that. Dare to try the BWS install since it managed to get the files extracted?
