projectinfinity Ulb's PI Install Order

[Ulb]

Okay, so I'm going to do a new install and I'll try to do an install order list.

If possible I'd like to get some feed back before I start the installation (if anybody is able to spot glaring mistakes).

Note please: I haven't figured yet out how to export an install order list properly, other than copy&pasting it.

(If AL|EN doesn't want this kind of discussion in this thread, please jsut remove it or move it somewhere else)

@Ulb You could consider adding the crossmod banter mod to see crossmod e.g. between Aantis and my Solaufein.

For what I can judge, I didn't spot anything obvious.

[Ulb]

Aura NPC for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition somehow got in the above list and can be ignored.

Btw, here is a simplifyed listing with just the mod names (unless I only install a distinctive component then I still mention it) for easier reading:

EET
Ascension
A7-Test Your Mettle!
Baldur's Gate Mini Quests and Encounters
Ascalon's Questpack
Adalon's Blood
A7-DjinniCompanion
Eilistraee
Ooze's Lounge

SirinesCall
Trials of the Luremaster
QuestPack
TGC1E:0:Normal edition
Unfinished Business
Tower Of Deception
WhiteQueen
Wheels Of Prophecy
Glam's NPC pack
Solaufein's Rescue: Jastey's Solaufein NPC for BGII
Isra for BGII
Sir Ajantis NPC for BGII
Evandra NPC
The Beaurin Legacy
A7-ConvenientEENPCs
Song and Silence - Add new bardic store and thief items
Thrown Hammers
c#sodtweaks
HiddenGameplayOptions
EET_Tweakss that don't have BG:EE variants
EpicThieving
NoSoDSound
A7-SkipChateauIrenicus
Tweaks Anthology
EET_end
Stratagems
Atweaks

 

Btw BG1 only has

BG1NPCProject, Unfinished B., Finsh, Isra, Coran friendship

 

[Ulb]

@jastey Right, that's a good point!

 

[jastey]

And it is advisable to install bgqe:Brage's Sword before BG1NPC Project.

You will miss out on reply options to bring Brage to Oublek if some NPCs interject, otherwise.

[Ulb]

Just now, jastey said:

Wait, but how? BG1NPC Project still needs to be installed on BGEE/SoD, right? So it gets importet by EET core before I even have a chance to install BGQE?

[Ulb]

@jastey Help, you left me all confused and now I don't dare to start installing. :O

Btw PI is not supposed to offer an 'EET' installation, i.e. allow to assign mods that need to be installed on BG1 as well as BG2 at the same time, right?

[Ulb]

@A|ien

Is there a way to 'force' PI to install all available components of a sorting order list?

Right now it seems whenever you close PI all mod selections will be unchecked (though the group order is preserved) and you have to manually re-check every single box?

That seems very inconvenient.

You already have full control over which mods you want to actually install by just removing/adding them to PI's mod folder. I don't see why you would ever need PI to not simply install the currently set sorting order.

How it should be in my opinion: Importing a sorting order re-orders all available mods in said order and checks/unchecks them accordingly. Afterwards the player can then adjust that setting as usualy by checking/un-checking and re-ordering mods manually.

 

PS: Plas change your name to something that is easier to tag. :D

@Ulb Sorry, it wasn't my intention to leave you confused (I just went to bed..).

For bgqe, it's no problem to install it to BG:EE/SoD before the EET transition. The component "Brage Sword" should be installed before BG1NPC (and any other NPC mod that would add interjections into Brage's original dialogue) so the new reply options won't be lost.

The only disadvantage of installing bgqe to BG:EE/SoD prior to the EET transition is that you cannot change the installation once you made it into EET.

Out of curiosity: the bgqe quests you didn't chose are not to your liking or is there another reason you did not chose all of them?

[argent77]

@Ulb I'd recommend to install the Djinni Companion after QuestPack, Unfinished Business and Golem Construction, so the mod can take advantage of the additional content. (Although the current order works fine in your specific case, since you leave out the relevant mod components.)

Ah, alright. I wasn't sure if there would be issues when installing fully EET compatible mods on BG1.

If that's possible though it is actually my preffered method since unlike BWS/EETIT PI allows to keep the same BG1 installation over multiple EET installations.

So it's less work for me!

Out of curiosity: the bgqe quests you didn't chose are not to your liking or is there another reason you did not chose all of them?

Well, for starters, there is not a single component in your mod that I didn't enjoy. It's just that some of them don't really entice me to re-play them in every installation.

I didn't look at any documentation for setting up this first draft and I didn't remember what each component does so I might have left out some I actually want though.

The ones I actually don't feel like replaying/having in every installation are:

Family Treasure Quest: Feels just a bit tedious to go through if you already know the story/outcome

Monster in Nashkel: I distinctly remember feeling a bit of frustration about that one (which speaks to its quality, since I think that's the intention) but maybe I should replay it since my memory is a bit fuzzy about it.

A Warm Place for Noober: I admit, I haven't played that one yet. I just really don't like Noober or rather, the idea of expanding on what should in my opinion be just a short bit of comic relieve.

Babysitting in Nashkel, including Carnival Encounter: I thought I had seen it all but going over the documentation it mentions a women at the carnival which I do not remember at all, so its back on the install list.

@argent77

Alright, thank you. I'll have to look into that to see what content I'm missing out though.  :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[argent77]

I missed the "Wheels of Prophecy" entry in your list. That one must be installed before Djinni Companion, or you'll encounter serious issues with the mod.

[Ulb]

Alright, I'll compile an updated list later today:

So far that will include:

- Remove Aura (she was only in there by accident)

- Remove (move to BG1 part, before NPC Project) BGQE

- Add crossmod content for @jastey's Solaufein/Ajantis mods

- Move Wheel of Prophecy before Afaaq

- Move Afaaq behind UB, Questpack, Golems (and check relevant cross mod content)

 

[Ulb]

Btw, I'm not feeling to happy about spamming Alien's thread quite that much, maybe someone with mod powers could just split this of into its own topic?

PI: Install Order Discussion or something like that?

[jastey]

Done EDIT: I chose a different title, if you want it changed just say so.

How dare you?!

Sorry, I didn't have the triplicate request form at hand.

Just one more note in self-promotion: The Noober component is about Noober not being able to talk, so it should be quite different to how he is experienced the first time.

Monster in Nashkel: just because I feel like defening my mod: the feeling of frustration (of being framed?) should be eased at the end and leave the feeling of the idiot getting his punishment.

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity.
