SOLVED - 'BiG World Install.bat' does NOT automatically download and install mods, as I mistakenly assumed, so if you don't wish to install a mod, rather than needing to modify the batch installer, simply don't download the mod! Also, for those confused, as I was for a bit, BiG World Fixpack =/= BG2 Fixpack. They are SEPARATE mods.



Due to lack of an updated BWP Setup, I'm stuck modifying the BiG World Install.bat manually, and it's confusing me to no end. It says, and I quote:

How to delete mods from the install.bat?

In both the Standard as the Expert version you can deselect mods just by typing "rem " before the mod without the quotation marks but with the space.

...but what lines specifically do I "rem "? There's no example to look at and learn from. If someone could show me how to do it to this section, I might be able to grasp the concept easier. Do I "rem " the whole mod section, or just particular line(s)?

EDIT: Solved. Patch 5512 can be safely applied to the Original Saga, as explained by Jarno in his reply here: http://www.shsforums...post__p__500544

I know this has probably been asked before, and I'm fairly sure I was one of those doing the asking at least twice, but Search is returning no results when I put in 'Patch 5512'. I have the 3-CD set for Baldur's Gate, which I'm fairly sure is the 'Original Saga', as it is called. Post-installation without patches, it's v5521. Without modifying the BiG World Install.bat, other than to change the three instances of C:\ to E:\ (my Windows XP drive), running the BiG World Install.bat returns a loop at the BG1-Patch-Check, saying I'm missing patch 5512. So...what am I missing? Installing 5512 would -downgrade- my version from 5521, and break things, wouldn't it? I thought BG 3-CD came pre-patched...
