HEJO !

Is there any way i can help ?
I don't have powerful enough unit @ home, but at my job i have PCs, which can work for days and nights. Ideal for testing purpose.

Sure, use the "BiG World Setup", choose your own selected megamod, install and play it. We can always need testers to find out, if there exist more bugs or compatibility problems. If we have special things to do, I'll come back to you.

I'm on it !

Hejo !

Thanx for clearing that for me guys, and sorry for bringing it up. I hope i didn't offend anyone.  

It's just BG Saga was released around here many times, and for laughable price, so i just kind of forgot it is still legal thing.
Ha ! I own 4 copies of it - i couldn't resist buing it, since last release was comparable (in price of course) with one big pizza

All i'm thinking here is some way to speed up whole process.
Idea of waiting 24 hours for compilation is a little scary.

Thanx kind sirs !  

Jarno : Are You sure ? I was convinced BG adds some information into Windows registry.
If so, then... - hell - i'll strike :
Maybe someone here is able to create such installation, compress it, and hang on some remote server ? I am more than sure i saw MINIMAL version of BWP somewhere, but that's not enough for me.

Hejo !

First of all : hats from heads guys ! By creating BWP You did something so important, that i can compare it only with... f*ck, there's nothing i can compare it to... Even Large Hadron Collider pales in comparison
It may sound stupid, but i already think about separate Linux distro created only for purpose of playing BWP  

Then again...

I tried to install Standard version and failed. Why ? Here we go...

- After 8 hours (!!!) BWP was still doing it's WeiDu magic, and i didn't had time to continue. I don't own powerfull machine - i run on 2+ Ghz AMD processor with 2-4 Gbs of RAM. I know it's not too much, but frankly...

- Speed was one thing. Another was hdd space. With free 18 Gb on my hdd i had to free additional 15 Gb during compilation. When i halted whole process, there was only 4 Gb of free space ! 29 Gbs ? And installation wasn't finished yet !

- After first OGG decompilation installation freezed for good 15-20 minutes, and processor wasn't busy. I CTRL+BREAKed it, and BWP un-freezed itself. There was no error, no warning, no prompt for ending DOS session.

- After every 3-4 mods installs, widescreen setup would start and do "some stuff". Like in infinite loop. Is it normal ?

So my questions are :
- Is there any way to check how advanced installation process is ?
- How long whole BWP installation should take ? Approximately, on standard, modern machine.
- How much space every version of BWP needs for installation ?
- How much space every version of BWP "weights" AFTER installation ?
- Is there any way to make whole process continuos ? Of course i want to select my version and mods, but after seeing DOS window for first time i don't have time nor patience to guard it for hours and hours. I don't care for errors, i don't care for problems, i am determined to try it anyway.
- If i'll do installation on one machine, would i be able to just copy everything, install BGI/BGII on different machine, and paste everything on top of it ? Will it work ?

Once again : THANK YOU !!!
Silly as it sounds, i have now something to wait for !
