Exactly. It's just a fancy name for Bytes Per Second.

ok, so from what ive understood, i can get bgt_distro.c03 via mIRC only, but im not familiar with mIRC. how do i download it via mIRC?

Did all that, but it still doesn't seem to work - probably a firewall-problem. I'll just have to wait for it to show up on ftp or something similar, I suppose. :(

btw - the problem with Bittorrent is that it will help with fast distribution only when there are enough seeders - which won't be a problem in the first few days or perhaps weeks, but it's not really all that useful later on. It would work as a IRC-alternative right now, but it's not really a good long-term-solution for distribution, I'm afraid.

I think these files *are* corrupt after all.

Could someone post the exact filesizes for them as reported by DOS?

Halp!

When I run install.bat, it finishes that, then auto-moves on to BGT Installer, which then promply goes BAM and displays a message displaying

(Title at top) prjFormExtract
(Text) Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range.

Could someone perhaps post a step-by-step how to install? It seems I am a moron :(

Running WinXP/Full Install of SoA/ToB Patched/no mods

Edit: The problem was that when I wiped the directory to try again, I forgot to re-unzip the rar.

Baldur's Gate trilogy bug report forum.

so has anyone actually succesfully played this yet? Also what disk do u have to use when playing?

bgt_distro.c03 is up for download on the ftp-server!!! no more trying to learn mIRC...

Steps for a successful installation:
This is assuming you have:
SoA Installed
ToB Installed
Latest ToB Patch Installed (See the FAQ)


1) Download file(s) from Bardez on irc.teambg.net (bgt distro.c03) and either download the other files (distro.c00, distro.c01, distro.c02, distro.ace) from the ftp (Link) or also get them from Bardez. (IRC tutorial at bottom of post)
2) Get bgt_istaller_patch_2.1 (Most current version as I write this) from IRC.
3) Extract the files from distro.ace in BG2 Directory (Standard: "C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA") winrar
4) Unzip the files from bgt_installer_patch_2.1 WinZip
5) Move unzipped files from bgt_installer_patch_2.1 into BG2 Directory.
6) Run installa.bat (Graphic is exe style, may take a lot of time)
7) When finished, run BGT Installer.exe (Note: This has no interface at all. It works entirely in the background. You may check if it is still working by using task manager. Even if it says "Not Responding", it is still working away)
8) When finished, run installb.bat (Much less time consuming than installa.bat)
9) Download the latest patch (As I write this, that is patch_1.1.zip)
10) Move Dialog.TLK from unzipped\patch_1.1 (or whatever the directory you unzipped to is called) to BGII Main Directory
11) Move all other files in unzipped\patch_1.1 (except the readme, that one's optional =) into BGII - SoA\Override
12) Copy the trilogy-src music into the music folder of BGII - SoA
13) Run XP Patcher (Included in Distro.ace) and find BGMain.exe. Then, set the starting XP at 0.
14) Have fun!!

If any of these instructions were unclear, or just plain wrong, let me know, and I'll be glad to change them. I decided to make this post since I had a lot of trouble last night figuring out how to do this [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: I forgot the IRC Tutorial, oops. Also, the FTP apparently have .c03 now

1) Download mIRC
2) Go up to connect. Server: irc.teambg.net Names are up to you
3) Go to channel #BGT
4) Type !BGT or !BGT3 in the channel
5) Go up to DCC Options, turn off the autoignore (DCC Options is near the top of the screen in the middle)
6) Type dir
7) Type "get name", (You must insert the bgt part at the start)
8) Select destination of the file
9) Wait ages

Raistlin: My distro.c03 file is far larger than 78MB (about 200MB or so)
