Anduin Shadow Mantle

Have seen some great posts from other players doing there bit by posting any errors they have found during play and letting the modders know.

This is my contribution

First the important bit. This was for a tactics install. The only eXperienced rated mods I allowed through were Fairy Dragon and Multi-Clerics mods. I also did some minor changes to tweak difficulty and xp to my liking, but on the whole a pretty standard tactics install (Others may still disagree!)

For those who want the exact details please see below.

I will post when I find an error. I will also try and post a solution if I find one   Nearinfinity is useful!

Lets see what happens...

I like to read the fixes thread now and again... and lolloriian seems to do a whole lot of work (Thanks by the way )

But how do you use the fixes that are zipped up from time to time?

Are they for players to fix problems in a game?

Or are they just for modders to nose at?

Any links or info gladly recieved!

Just a small issue. Can't seem to install the Auror kit.

The Virus checker does seem to go crazy at it... and yes you need to take it out of the folder after unzippin...

I feel I have resolved those issues above

...but then the install.bat can't find it.  

Don't really need it, but you got have EM ALL!

Any success or disaster stories out there?

Since the demise of that excellent installation tool BWS, and dabus now taking a well deserved retirement (May all two storey vehicles be named after him in his honour!), I have few questions that I could not find answers using a search. I know similar questions have been asked before by new users... but I have done this before so I should be able to narrow my questioning a bit

What is the difference between Leomar's BWS and Leonardo's BWS? And does it really matter?

Can I still use BWS to download most of the non-updated mods (from may I believe) onto my comp?

BWS is useful as it will give me a list of the mods it could not download or find. This may be due to Gibberlings3 being down or new versions of the mod being available. Super! So I can use the list, download these myself ( a link to the list of all the mods can be found on the BiGWorld Guide, yep, I've read it!) and then I just extract them into the BG-SoA folder, making sure I shut down any DOS boxes if they appear... Now I just need to use the BWinstallpack.

But aaargh! Doesn't BWS modify this so it matches your settings? i.e. Change the settings in Auroras boots mod to get more gold than the standard BW settings for instance. or maybe a better question should be... Do I now need to make all changes by changing the BWinstall batch files?

And can we add the packmule mod to the next version please. I know nothing to do with the rest of the thread but fit it in where I can . Gonna add it myself anyway for now

And if this has all been answered before... Don't slap me too hard Jarno!
