Arledrian,

Here is what I found out:

It looks as though the TOB installation simply copies the necessary files into the SAME file directory and/or subdirectories that SOA was installed to. So if your installation path was:

/program files/black isle/soa

the tob files simply go into that file folder OR the appropriate subdirectory within that main directory

the short cuts accessed thru the start up (lower left) now lists BG-Throne of Bhaal instead of BG-SOA as the short cut and should point to the NEW TOB executable in the main directory (BG-SOA) which is NOT renamed.

I can not tell what dialogue/script/item files have been replaced / deleted or copied over without doing a complete file listing dump. You should be able to tell which files go where by looking at file types and file names though. For example, the AREXXXX.bif files all go into the /BGII-SOA/cache/data subdirectory but not ALL of the .bif files go there. Some are associated with Creature animations and those go into the /BGII-SOA/data/ directory.

If you have any questions let me know! I hope this helps!
