Honestly I would let the BWS run until it had extracted all the files as normal and pause after it starts to install mods and then edit the .tp2 file. And then unpause.

Okay, I did your nice sidestep method for now, and it appears BWS installed it just fine. No errors in the BWS log for the Kit Tomes install. Thank you very much!

What file are you referring to which needs to be edited?

The mods .tp2 -file of course... "setup-kittomes.tp2" to be exact.

I think I found it. Hopefully this is all. Do I just need to change this file size entry in the mod.ini? Or are there other edits needed?

Thank you. And, if the BWS installer complains and won't install the mod because the file size of the mod is changed, is your opinion that I should try and install the mod (manually) after the BWS install, or would that pose likely risks?

Edit:  Yup, the BWS installer doesn't recognize the mod because of the changed file size. I'm obviously now curious about how I can set the BWS installer to recognize the changed file.

OK, found it... I think, see this:

//Dialogues
COMPILE EVALUATE_BUFFER ~kittomes/dlg~ ~override~

Is good, until it begins to evaluating and compiling the whole override folder.

So change it to:

//Dialogues
COMPILE EVALUATE_BUFFER ~kittomes/dlg~

And it should be good, cause the command doesn't need into target folder, as the override folder is assumed by the command.

What file are you referring to which needs to be edited? I ran into this error yesterday and would like to fix it myself. Better yet, can I install this mod alone after a BWS install, or would that tempt issues with it being loaded out of order?

@CroMagnon: You sure used the old 0302 download with the error, master/... works fine. I checked it and it's really ok.

2. and 3, package are marked as download only, so those get removed from the current selection so an extraction of those files does not happen.
The main package is still in there and gets extracted.

In the old download 2015-03-02, there was an error / misunderstanding in ini-files by Alien.
It contained two additional downloads with the same key(name). Since ini-files only contain one key with an unique name, only one file got loaded and so the download was screwed (missing one file).
Since additional download also get extracted (they usually contain fixes), the second file was extracted and thus failed since the first part of the splitted archive was missing, making the extraction fail all the time.

The error was fixed on 2015-03-06 ny Quiet, so if you just would have found the master download, you could have saved yourself some trouble/time.

@Yovaneth: Sorry for the trouble. I'll ask Alien if he could delete that BWS download / or maybe he can just fix the file.

Thank you for the reply. The mess is making sense now. I don't mind the time spent trying to figure it out the other day. I enjoy the process of modding games. It was only by the last couple hours that I started going nuts, which made me amused at myself going nuts.

I have no idea what you mean by "master download". I only saw one download for BGEE Graphics Overhaul. If you mean BWS, I had no idea there was also a master download, whatever that means. Is that term referring to a version which works on all systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc)?

I had stopped relying on BWS to download the file and was attempting to have BWS install the graphics mod from in the game directory using the provide and extract options in the BWS install process. Which is when I became convinced the archive was corrupt due to two separate softwares appearing to both confirm it was corrupt. Therefore, thinking I should have known to go find a "master download" of either the mod or BWS, whichever you mean, would have come after posting here to seek verification if I was or was not really onto a problem, anyway.

I seriously appreciate the response though, because now if anyone else happens to do what I did they have helpful information here.

P.S. Your entire link now shows in the quotebox, so now I know to go get that. I'm about to reinstall all the mods again. I'm getting the errors another person posted about where character dialogue text is showing up in menus. I just purchased the pack mule, and when speaking to the mule to access its inventory, the erroneous dialogue appears in the inventory table title parts.

P.S. again:  Nevermind, I now see you linked to the .ini. Upon trying to find a master download on bitbucket, the only section labeled "master" I found has no downloads. The download section I originally found has no file version past 0302. I've never even been on bitbucket before and I haven't played Baldur's Gate since the late 90's, so, to make explicit what I'm illustrating in this whole post, some things are counterintuitive or do not arise so immediately in troubleshooting these issues. It's a reminder to keep in mind that what you may think will be intuitive for a new person may only seem that way because this is all familiar to you. It's no problem, and it's common for communities of people working on these things and providing them for free to be stuck with that tricky balance between communicating how it is efficient for them, and communicating in a way efficient for new people.

P.S. yet again:  Okay, found the master download. If you notice here:

http://www.shsforums...am/#entry562070

between the two downloads it says "or", implying both are the same. Also, the filename of the master download does not include 0306. Its filename made me suspect it was perhaps a source code download, so I opted for the first link instead. With no date in the master filename to compare, and since that link is a direct download, I had nothing showing it was a newer version. Thus, I had no sign I should have got the master download instead.
