Question about BiG World Fixpack

21 November 2018 - 08:24 AM

Esteemed ladies and gentlemen,


Having very little experience with such matters - and against all advice - I am still trying to manually install a modded BGT-WeiDU game using Leonardo Watson's installation guide (BiG World Project Baldurs Gate v18.1, English).

From this guide, I understand that I should run 'BiG World Fixpack.bat' in my main game directory after copying all relevant files and folders into that directory and that, after this, I need to run several patches and fixes provided by the fixpack at various stages of the install.

Take, for example, step '1.11 astScriptPatcher' on page 23 of the installation guide, where the author says: "The BiG World Fixpack copies the file Setup-astScriptPatcher.tp2 into your main SoA directory. Double-click the Setup. The DOS dialogue appears:".
From what I understand so far, "Double-click the Setup" means that I should double-click an 'exe' file and not, for example, a 'tp2' file.

After extracting the archive 'BiG World Fixpack v18.1.7z' into a dummy folder, I can only find the following 'exe' files in it: 'tee.exe', 'find.exe', 'patch.exe', 'acm_upsample.exe', and 'tisunpack.exe'.

Question: What "Setup" must I "double-click"?

So far, I have not yet run 'BiG World Fixpack.bat' anywhere. Does running that file in my main game directory - or anywhere else, for that matter - create the "missing" 'exe' files?

I haven't been able to find an answer to this question and I would greatly appreciate anyone providing it or pointing me in the right direction.


Regards,
