I got a mac, I did max install of SoA/ToB - had a problem early on. turns out when you want to go to Umar Hills, the game is looking files from the wrong CD directory. They messed something up in the index tables, so ToB is looking for CD4 data files in the CD3 folder. It was suggested to me on another forum that I just dump all the contents of the CD folders into the main game directory and alter the Baldur.ini to direct the game to look for the contents thusly -
[Alias]
HD0:=:
CD1:=:
CD2:=:
CD3:=:
CD4:=:
CD5:=:

well, there are many files with duplicate names, so that solution seems off. Meantime someone gave me another work-around. Problem is, I thought I had saved the original Baldur.ini with the original code. But of course I didn't have a backup. Can anyone let me know the way it was on the original install.

Well, I dont' believe you have to point towards specific files, the contents of mine is:

[Alias]
HD0:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\
CD1:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD1\
CD2:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD2\;d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD2\
CD3:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD3\
CD4:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD4\
CD5:=d:\games\BGII - SoA\CD5\

I think CD2 is an accident (the address repeated) but that's how it was in my file, so you can always take it out.

You were right to ignore the advice to dump all the contents of the CD folders in your main folder, the .bif files in each folder (CD2, CD3 etc) have the same names and would be overwritten.

I'm not 100% sure of what you're asking, but if you want the whole file, follow this link:

Hope that's of some use..
