Hi.I have a question about mods and translation.In the "selected translations" BWS window("On the right side,you can see the already selected languages.The mods that are available for choice are limited to those providing one translation matching your selection.If you have several of them in one mod,the one with the higher priority will be used",I choose 1)italian and 2)english and mods that match this configuration are only 132,with the order,1)english-2)italian,mods are 558,("Show matching mods:To have an overview which mods are available with the currently selected language,click on an entry and then on "Show mods shipping with the selected translation".The mods that match your selected translation will be shown in the lower part of the window").So my first question is if with first language selection(1ITA-2ENG) i am not able to download and obviously install all mods that haven't an italian traslation?And if i choose second order(1ENG-2ITA) I can install all mods i want(i think because all BG mods are in english language)but noone in italian.There isn't a choice to have the possibility to choose among all mods for my BG2 installation but install the italian version-translation?Second question:if i choose to download and install mods versions with italian translation if the mod latest version has not an italian translation BWS download and install a previous version that has my language?.Sorry for my english,it's so harsh for me write in your language and many thanks first for BWS tool and his builders-mantiners,etc(its a very well made utility easy to use )and second to all who kindly reply to me.If someone dont understand some words i have written(very possible)ask to me and i'll try to be more clear in my writing.

What a great Forum!,2 useful replies in so little time.Many many thanks guys

Hi to all and sorry for my bad english.I decided to play Baldurs 2 after many years(I have the original copy buyied in 2003)because i recently finally added an internet connection to my pc,so i would mod the game.After reading many topics and downloading various mods i have 3 questions:1)what is most stable Ascens....

If you are a Windows user, Use the BiG World Setup program to make the install you wish. Get it at here, by pushing the "Download repository", which will download a ~8.3 MB .rar -file, extract that archive to a random folder, not the game folder, and then run the BiG World Setup.vbs from that folder, and select the options that are given to you, give the game folder, download folder etc things the program asks you.

You only need the game you probably have, SoA + ToB +this patch, aka a clean and patched game. Nothing else. And definitely no mods installed yet. Ouh, and you should run the game so it works ... the program also noted these facts and plenty of other stuff.

 

During the setup process you get to choose mods to include if you choose the "Full Custom" option in the setup, mods can require other mods and the BG1 game install, but none of those are required for the basic setup, the BWS will download all the mods for you and do everything from extracting the mods to installing them after you have gone through the setup steps, you don't need to worry about the weidu.exe's nor what mods are compatible with each others as the conflict resolving section before the download and install will resolve those things, you can use it to install 1 or 500 mods.

 

The quote, it might be unclear to you, but all the setup-*modname*.exe files are just a version of a weidu.exe just renamed as the setup-*modname*.exe's, so updating is done usually before you run even one of them, and the BWS will do this for you during the mod extraction process, that you get to follow while it's runs in the background while you might do something else, as the setup'ed-install will take it's time, but it's far shorter than doing any of this by hand as there's no pauses (unless you set there to be those).

Thanks Imp for the fast reply,i read about BigWorlSetup and I didn't use it because i am always a little worried about bugs in mods manager like it,however now i try to use it.Hi

Hi to all and sorry for my bad english.I decided to play Baldurs 2 after many years(I have the original copy buyied in 2003)because i recently finally added an internet connection to my pc,so i would mod the game.After reading many topics and downloading various mods i have 3 questions:1)what is most stable Ascension Mod Version for my game(not GOG,not EE but the old,original Black Isle version)-2)according to yours do I have to install Big World Fixpack(I dont want install the BWP but only some mods) and if yes when in the order(I downloaded BWP Installation Order PDF File and the author say:Although it is made for the BiG World Project, it can be used with any other installation.Unpack the BiG World Fixpack.7z file in your BGII-SoA directory and start the batch file BEFORE installing the mods.The batch file checks for mods that are already in the main folder and copies the needed files into the predetermined folders)but i read that is better not to install it or not at the top of installation order-3)the mostimportant question:how to update weidu.exes of old mods.I read this:"They can almost all be solved by updating all the WeiDU.exe's to the most current version of the WeiDU.exe, which can always be found in here(the Windows Binary archive),you first do the auto update by running one of the setup-*modname*.exe's, and after it has succeeded to update most, you need do the manual update to know what files you need to update manually, and you do that by searching the folder by size, all the up to date setup-*modname*.exe's are about 655Kb's in size(that version is/was v22600), the outdated are smaller, so you delete the old setup-*modname*.exe, and then you copy the new WeiDU.exe from the archive to the game folder and then you re-copy it to the same folder so you have many of them, and then you rename one of the copies as the deleted one so you can run it." but i don't understand where to update,do i have first install all mods in the baldurs directory and then make the update or first i have to extract mods archives in another folder(ex.Baldurs Mods),run the latest weidu.exe version and after install these patched mods in game directory?Thanks to all who reply to me.Hi.
