In Topic: Now that BP-Weidu is released...

You mention a list of mods that need to be installed after BP. Can you provide a link to that list? I couldn't find it with a search.

My system has plenty of space. It's the friends I want to play multiplayer with that have issues (i.e. terminal cheapness).
I'm using the new generation mods and I know that all the files are biffed. (Empty override forlder is the first clue ) I have hard copies of all the mods I use and I'm not afraid of a total install if I need to change something (I do it all the time). What I need to know is if a finished install needs these files for any reason. From my experiments it doesn't seem that they do. They seem to only be nessissary for the install/ reinstall process.
My plan is to have each of the other multiplayers to setup a clean install of BG II (to make all registry entries and shortcuts) and then cut/paste overwrite a fully moded intstall directly into their game directory. This saves me the time of doing the mod installs and/or having to teach them how to do it. I have the adavantage of a killer computer and a hefty home network so that kind of mass file slinging isn't that big a deal. The challenge is shoe horning BG into their not so killer computers.
I'm basically just looking for anyone who can tell me why this won't work.

Thank you for your quick responce.
Another thing I was thinking of doing to save space was to delete the install files for my Weidu mods. By that I mean the setup tp2 and exe files and the large folders that are unzipped into the game directory (such as the TDD folder). I was assuming that because the files are in the biffs I wouldn't need these anymore. I would leave the backup files and the weidu log so if I needed to modify anything later I could just rezip the files into the game.
I've done a little testing of this but is their any problem I should know about?
Thanks again.

Thanks for the quick responce.
Second Question: Since all the Weidu mod's files are now biffed I'm assuming it's safe to delete the weidu setup files and folders that unzip into my game direcory (such as the "TDD" folder). I plan on leaving my weidu log but deleting the setup exe and tp2 files. I realize that this will make the mods unable to uninstall unless I rezip the files into the directory. I've done some testing and this doesn't seem to kill my game. Are there any problems I don't know about with doing this?
