BG1 UI for Big World Install

02 September 2012 - 09:06 AM

Hi everyone

I've just tried installing the 'recommended' mods for BWS with a few extra mods, mostly extra quests and such. Two times now that I've done it the game starts with the BG1 UI, which seems to work fine but is quite ugly. Am I doing something wrong here? Every time before this I've ever tried an install I always get the much prettier BG2 interface with sword wielding Elminster and such, even when things are quite borked up. Is this a result of the newest version of BGT, or am I doing something wrong with my custom install? Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone has any fixes that they know will work for the current version.

Thanks

Big World install instructions, getting it straight

25 December 2011 - 12:40 PM

Hi everyone.  A new season, a new computer, and about a million times installing the megamods.

Let's see if I can get this all straight:

After assiduously following the install instructions, I use BWS to do everything up to the point where all the mods are downloaded and extracted.
After that, and the cursory check to get the most updated versions and such of the mods, I cancel out of BWS and use the install program
to do the actual installation work.  According to the instructions, I execute the trimpack and fixpack after the extraction of the mods but before I use the install.bat.

Is this about right?  Like I said, I've done many, many installs before this, and I know what to expect, but I want to make darn sure I know what I'm doing.

Thanks to all in advance
