Confirmation Complete and the results

[Harkoliar]

im going to install my good old bg2 again [img]smile.gif[/img]

now im abit stuck on the installation of the mods part (and ive got heaps).

just need a small confirmation regarding compatability of 4 mods

unfinished business
darkest day
shadows of soubar
gibberlings anniversery mod

can all be installed? reason im asking regarding shadows of soubar is because of this comment "Travel to new areas in SOA and play with a torrent of new quests, items and NPCs. Recently updated to WeiDU format"
link:http://www.pocketplane.net/modlist/i...list&cat_id=22

so im thinking its weidu compatible now?

the rest i know are pretty compatible bec they are all wiedu

EDIT: Conclusion in my Last post Below

Yes. The old huge TeamBG mods have been converted to Weidu, but you still need to install them in the correct order, as well as use a BD-Weidu 1.5 (http://america.iegmc.net/baldurdash-weidu/) instead of traditional Baldurdash.

Install them as follows:
BD-Weidu
Darkest Day/Shadows of Soubar (any order)
Unfinished Business/Gibberlings 3 Anniversary (any order)

Basically, the huge mods still need to go first. You will also need Yacomo's BP Worldmap for all of the new areas to show up in your worldmap (http://america.iegmc.net/worldmap/). Install that last.

so BD means baldurdash 1.5 then weidu mods first before installing the bid mods D. Day/ Shadows??

i thought it was the other way around?

edit: sorry was not reading it correctly..

so its baldurdash 1.5
then the big mods you suggested
then the map
then the weidu mods

so how about the old baldurdash and the dialogue English-Language Game Text Update v1.2? will it be overwritten with the new baldurdash 1.5? another thing is i encountered for Shadows of Soubar a patch, so do I install that too?

edit 2: thanks heaps btw, i didnt know that 4 big mods are now compatible with one another.. yay!

As far as I know, Baldurdash-Weidu has all of the old Baldurdash and Game Text update, along with some other fixes. It will append to the dialogue.tlk and the files it fixes, but you can uninstall it like any other Weidu mod.

Switch, in the install order, the Weidu mods and the map mod, and it should work fine.

thanks heaps moose! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dance2.gif[/img]

Now last question then I am set [img]smile.gif[/img] . If anyone can answer this, regarding the Shadows of Soubar, do I need to install the patch? I have obtained the 1.00 and the patch of 1.01 (I presume to make it weidu compatible)

EDIT: i found the answer.. turns out there is a 1.05 version.. doh! Those links need to be updated there

When looking around.. i recently stumbled into the BGT (baldurs gate trilogy) where you can play bg1+ expansion then straight to baldurs gate 2 and TOB with a great story line (wicked).

So here I am dusting off my good old baldurs gate 1 with expansion.. now here comes the hard part. Installation once again

looking at the readme:

BGT-WeiDU requires the following: - A Custom Install (with all checkboxes ticked) of Baldur’s Gate I and Tales of the Sword Coast, patched to version 5512 (clean install - DO NOT INSTALL BALDURDASH ON YOUR BALDUR’S GATE: TALES OF THE SWORD COAST INSTALLATION, or anything else on it for that matter) OR - A Custom Install (with all checkboxes ticked) of Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga (clean install - DO NOT INSTALL BALDURDASH ON YOUR BALDUR’S GATE: TALES OF THE SWORD COAST INSTALLATION, or anything else on it for that matter) AND - A Full Install of Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, patched to version 26498 (can have existing modifications installed; see FAQ section for details)

so what is my sequence of events for installation this time, do I install bg1 and expansion, patch it. Install bg2 + tob.. patch it

install all baldurdash 1.5, big mods (mentioned above), weidu before install BGT+ dark side of sword coast+ nothern side of sword coast?????

so the warning earlier saying :
(clean install - DO NOT INSTALL BALDURDASH ON YOUR BALDUR’S GATE: TALES OF THE SWORD COAST INSTALLATION, or anything else on it for that matter)
means i should not install baldurdash or any mod on bg1 only right??

Use this topic to help you with the install orders of the big mods. On the same forum (BP + BGT on Spellhold Studios), people have posted various examples of what they got to work. I go by the process:
1) BG2 + ToB + Patch
2) BG1 + TotSC + Patch
3) BD-Weidu
4) Big Mods (as described in the thread)
5) BGT
6) Various Weidu mods (usually older ones go first, but update all of them to the latest Weidu)
7) The miscellaneous mods that need to, for whatever reason, go later.

/bows .. thanks true_moose. Ill do it by tomorrow and check out the result with all these installations . :bow

[Harkoliar]

okay here is my final list which I am now going to do installation (cross fingers hope everything works out). Note: this is just for a good helpful suggestion if some other people wishes to do the same thing as I am doing. Please just read some readme's namely the big mods, and BGT. There are some options in some weidu mods that may be incompatible with some of the big mods.
A big thanks to BigMoose and websites which include
