Well, I decided to to a complete re-install of everything. Three other things I noted in the install:

1) For scs-II: I get the following error:
Unknown argument: [Files\Black]
WeiDU (version 20600: "Oops")
usage:.........

Then it prompts me to press <Enter> a bunch of times to scroll through command line options, and quits. I'm guessing that the path to BG-II wasn't properly quoted somewhere when the installer was called. (looks like it could be part of "C:\Program Files\Black Isle\....")

I also noticed that this install ran simultaneously with the BGT install (it was still copying a bunch of files over when BGT started installing, before it got to that error message). Is that how it is supposed to work?

(NOTE: I just noticed that "Setup-scsII.exe" is run later on toward the end of the install, and it appears to run fine there, so maybe this error is OK?)

2) BPseries: I get a whole bunch of the following error on different lines:
[codebox]Compiling 1 script ...

[bpseries\baf\gMinionM.baf] PARSE ERROR at line 277 column 1-21

Near Text: )

[Heard] argument [HELP] not found in [SHOUTIDS.IDS]
[/codebox]
3) During Setup-GUI.exe: Right after Tortured Souls, the console window closes, then a new window comes up that is just titled "c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" and has a whole bunch of "The system cannot find the file specified." errors and nothing else. After that closes, installation is complete.

And just so you don't think I'm nothing but a complainer: :whistling: Thank you BigMoshi, Erebusant, and everyone else for your hard work with this! I never finished BG1 (got as far as raiding the bandit camp), and never did BG2, so I've finally decided that since I can't afford a new rig right now to play Mass Effect, I would try my best to do a complete run through of Baldur's Gate, and see if I could play through as many community mods as possible!

Thanks again guys! :cheers:

2) When I start a new BG game, I can't talk to anyone! I get "You can not initiate dialog. Gorion appears busy." Substitute Gorion with other names, and you get the idea. This, of course, is a major show stopper bug. I did a search, but almost nobody seems to have ever come across this problem, and nobody had a solution (one person in 2001 on the BW boards said, "ToB fixes this bug, install it!!! :blink: Oh and before anyone asks yes I have ToB v2.5.26461 installed)

Be sure you're using the 26498 patch

Aieeeee.... I have the "Baldur's Gate II Collection" and I thought it was completely patched out of the box.... :crying: Do you know if I can install the patch with everything else that is on there, or am I screwed and I have to blow everything away and do a fresh re-install of SoA/ToB and then apply the patch?

EDIT: Ah, Crap, that's why.... it appears that the "Bonus CD" I got includes this patch, and on this last install I applied the bonus CD before the ToB CD. Grrrr.

Help, I just installed using 1.25 of the MOD_SOURCE, BIG MISTAKE. Two problems with it:

1) Some of the files are no longer available at the link locations provided, or there are later versions of the mods only available. To the best of my recollection:
  • RoTv2.1 link location downloads RoTv2 (I manually located 2.1 and installed that)
  • RR_V382 is not available, I could only find RR_V39
  • scsII-v4 is not available, I had to download scsII-v6
  • scsbgt_v4.5 link is broken, someone else posted the correct link in this thread
2) When I start a new BG game, I can't talk to anyone! I get "You can not initiate dialog. Gorion appears busy." Substitute Gorion with other names, and you get the idea. This, of course, is a major show stopper bug. I did a search, but almost nobody seems to have ever come across this problem, and nobody had a solution (one person in 2001 on the BW boards said, "ToB fixes this bug, install it!!! :blink: Oh and before anyone asks yes I have ToB v2.5.26461 installed)

Can anyone help? If nobody is providing support for v1.25, I strongly urge that you take it down, as it does not work, period.
