I've been reading about all those different mods you guys play and as so I figured that I too might try to renew my BG2 replayability.
So my questions to you guys is:

1: What mods are there that will run when I have ToB installed. (Please link to download file and all other necessary files)

2: Are there any of the mods that wont run together, if so which ones.

1. Ascension is usually the most famous. Try checking the complete list of mods available from here.
2.Anything weidU won't run with anything non-weidu. They crash the dialog.tlk key, so if you install, copy that file onto another part of your computer for backup!

Kaltia's exaggerating a bit, it IS possible to stack WeiDU and non-WeiDU mods, but the non-WeiDU mods always have to go in first, and they tend to have more exclusivity problems.

I don't care much for the B20 list because it's falling quite a bit behind the times.

Here are a pair of lists, one of in-prograss mods, the other of completed mods:

While I'm sure B20's list is just not aggressively updated, TeamBG's list is deliberately exclusionary. They refused to list Dungeon-Be-Gone, for example.

Kaltia 02-06-2003 03:52 PM

I'm not even going to ask why :( , especially seeing as how you FW guys are so helpful ;)

Isn't there somewhere I can download the whole lot in one big install file.
There's so much I cant decide.

Micah Foehammer 02-07-2003 09:18 AM

There's no place I know of where you can download ALL of the mods in ONE download. It's highly unlikely that you will find one, given that the two BG mods I am most familiar with are over 300 megs each (The Darkest Day and Shadows over Soubar). Both of those are downloadable from fileplanet - but unless you have a high speed connection, downloading those two is going to take a LONG time.

StigTC 02-07-2003 10:35 AM

I have a 1024 download, so that wont be a problem.
Oh and just a second question. Is TDD still as buggy as it has always been. I dl'ed it when it was brand new, back then it was unplayable.

Here are the links on fileplanet (you need to be registered <free>):

The Darkest Day

Shadows over Soubar

Good luck. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Here are two other mods that are intersting:

Tortured souls v1.2.1 for Throne of Bhaal:

Dave Gaider's Ascension:

Have fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Micah Foehammer 02-07-2003 11:05 AM

LOL

Here's ONE more for SOA:

Epic Endeavours:

jcompton 02-07-2003 11:28 AM

Ack! No, no!

Nobody should be downloading Ascension Classic anymore. It's needlessly large, needlessly incompatible with other mods and, while not a "bugfest", certainly has bugs that have long since been eliminated.

Get WeiDU Ascension instead from

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~weimer/bgate/

WeiDU Ascension is less than one-third the size of Classic and has the major benefit of being installable at any time, and installable with virtually any mod out there.

Also, there's a new version of Epic Endeavors that is MUCH smaller than the original (24 megs vs 55+) here. It should be identical to the original.

The original authors walked away from TDD almost immediately after its launch but a group of caretakers have done bugfixes and patches and the result, I'm told, is better. They're up to version 1.0.3a.
