MODS

Sir Mandorallen · 06-10-2002, 06:47 PM

Okay, I have never downloaded a mod before, and I need to know....

Which ones are the best.

Please rank from 1st to last. I want to know which ones are good before I bother to download any.

I wouldn't get one if I were you. I've heard from some people that they gimp up the game

I liked Freedoms Reign. It added a couple items and stores, but nothing over powerful. Some of them even seemed like they should have been there all along. Some were pointless and I wouldn't ever touch them. I haven't tried any other mods though, they're all too dang big to download on my 56k.

OK, well, Kelsey, Tashia, and Solaufien are all good mods with good reputations. They're compatible as well, provided that you install Sola first. If you have TOB, Ascension is a must (look for the WeiDU version of that so it's compatible with the others).

If you don't have TOB now, The Darkest Day isn't bad, especially now that they've got all the bugs ironed out (you have to download several patches tho).

As with everything, there's a right way and a wrong way to go about something, MOD creation included.

The Kelsey NPC mod has been rigorously tested, and is quite compatible.

Similarly, the Solaufein NPC mod is well-designed.
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~weimer/bgate/

Tashia is reportedly quite stable.

(Note that Valen is more for the adventurous and still has a few tricky areas.)

they have been known to stuff up the game.. that is why you make a backup 1st

... but the ones that dont add to the game and make them just a little bit more fun after you've played it through lots of times [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir Mandorallen · 06-12-2002, 08:58 AM

Okay, another question....

Some of these things say that you have to put your files in the SoA installation folder and NOT the override folder.
Well the problem is.....

I don't have a installation folder. I searched and searched for about an hour, and I don't have one.

So can someone tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!?!

Sir Exxon · 06-12-2002, 09:42 AM

Aye, I dont have any installation folder either... But for me, the Nalia romance-mod atleast work in the override. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Helspanth · 06-12-2002, 10:10 AM

I think that your installation folder is the folder where you have installed the game .
For example C/Program Files/Black Isle/BG II.
