"biffing" the override?

[Guest Guest]

Hey all,

 

This is in relation to the 'restore SoA logo' from cosmetic tweaks for BG2.

 

It states that:

 

This component will not work if you have biffed your override folder, a common practice for many large mods.

 

How does one know if the override has been "biffed".

 

As you can no doubt tell, i have no idea what it means to have it biffed.

 

What kind of mods are considered 'large' so i know roughly?

 

I think i'll be having maybe as many as 14 mods installed (at least for BG2), the largest being tower of deception at 18 mb...the rest are mostly from here and ppp, which seem a lot smaller...is that a mod i should avoid if i want this component? (Although in that case i'd obviously go for the mod rather than a logo that appears on every load screen only!)

TDD and SoS are usually considered large. For good reason.

 

Biffing is a way of compressing a certain type of file, so as to try and organize your override folder.

There is a override.bif file inside the <game>/data/ folder.

There isn't a real 'large' mods that biff themselves anymore, if you use the latest -WeiDU mods, as it has been though that is a bad for mod compatibility.

 

It's a common practice for some players to biff once override folder, if it is about 1GB large, as it reduces lagging, the IE has...
