<font color=green>In my newest BG2/TOB game i have decided to try out some of the mods that everyone talks about on IW. I have chosen some and now wondering what order I need to install them in and how to activate them or whateva the mods i have chosen:
asension
ease of use
items upgrade
tactics
under represented
banter packs
flirt pack
imeon romance(yes i know, sick but i always thought she was kinda cute in a half-sisterly way.....) [img]smile.gif[/img]


if some one can be bothered detailing me on anything that needs to be done it would be apreciated(sp?)</font>

Basically you install all non Weidu Mods first then all other mods after that.

<font color=green> im having some trouble installing the banter pack, it says to close and run the setup program again but when i click on it the same message comes up.Is there another program I have to run? </font>

No, that sounds like a WeiDU auto-update error.

Basically, lots of mods use a WeiDU installer and new versions of WeiDU come out every so often (I think the most recent is 164). So when you install a WeiDU mod, it checks the WeiDU versions of all the mods in your directory and updates them to the most recent.

It sounds like this update procedure isn't quite working properly for the banter packs.

I'd suggest trying to install another mod for now and see if that helps?

Alternatively, take one of your other setup-mod.exe files and rename to replace your setup-banterpack.exe, though this might be tricky if you're not too familiar with mods. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Incidentally, you might try the Gibberlings Three community (link in my sig) for some other mods - since you've got Flirt and Banter packs I assume you already found PPG!

Enjoy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hm, I had the same problem with my banter pack...is there no non-technical (as in, idiot's guide) kind of way to fix it?

I'll direct JC here when I see him and see if he knows what's up.

In the meantime try going to http://www.WeiDU.org and downloading the latest version of WeiDU (164 or something).

Unzip and you will find in the package a program called WeiDU.exe.

In your BGII folder there will be a similar program called setup-banterpack.exe or something; the thing you are clicking on to install.

Delete it, copy WeiDU.exe to your BGII folder, and rename that setup-banterpack.exe (or setup-banterpacks.exe or just banterpack.exe; whatever the original thing was called). [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=green>Alright ill try that then im not entirly sure if I understand but im willing to try please come back in a few days and ill post whether it worked and if it didnt what went wrong. Thanks. </font>

<font color=green>I just tried again and found that I was installing them from the wrong directory. when I downloaded and unzipped them I tried to install them from the window that appeared, this was wrong I tried again and found the BG2 folder tried to install them from the and lo and behold it worked! thankyou to all that posted and helped.
especially Andyr </font>

I didn't see Unfinished Buissness on your list. Your not considering it?

I've got banter packs and flirt pack too, but sorry I can't help, I had no difficulty installing.

Edit: Oh you got it fixed, must have missed that.

<font color=green>yeh i actually did have UB installed but i musta forgot toi put it on the list </font>

The problem you were probably having was not carefully following the instructions WeiDU gave you.

When you see those messages, you must go into the Baldur's Gate 2 directory and run Setup-Banterpack.exe. You were probably re-running the banter pack installer you downloaded from PPG, which is not what it says to do.

Oh good! UB is very importaint (the Minsc quest alone is worth it). [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=green> But as you will read in another post the mods are playing up for some reason, all these people are giving me really good advice on how to fix it but i dont have the computer knowledge to do it so i guess ill just have to uninstall all the mods bar UB since thats the best one its really shit but oh well im gonna spend some time researching mods and stuff so hopefully ill be able to do it right on my next game (which will be straight after i finish this one)</font>

Oh I'm sorry that sucks... well goodluck! Have fun when you do get to them.

Hey if you get the Immy romance to work let me know cos the time I tried, it didnt work out. I must have chosen the wrong conversation options earlier on eventhough they were all the nice ones
