The EE Mod Setup Tool (for windows) Overwiew EET installs get more complex now that more and diverse mods are available to enhance the basic game. K4thos, the EET author recommended BWS for save installs when he started the project. However, original BWS has lost the supporters it had in the past and slowly decayed. This tool is aiming to provide similar functionality to mod EE games in large scale. The BWS-EE is a fork from Big World Setup (BWS old) which was originally created by dabus. BWS-EE is streamlined to serve EE game installations in a way that is up-to-date and maintainable still. While the tool was mainly intended to support EET, it also can be used to mod other EE games as listed below. Features: - assistance for creating your own customized game with any number of mods - downloading current versions of selected mods - easy mod installation for EET - correct install order of mods/components - merges SoD DLC with BGEE if needed - handle mod and components conflicts and dependencies - apply interim fixes when needed. - use players' tested compilations - save your own compilations for re-use or sharing Supported games: - Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (standalone game) - Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (standalone game) - Enhanced Edition Trilogy EET( BG1:EE + SoD + BG2:EE ) - Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition - Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition Supported mods - All actively maintained or properly completed ones!

The first issue I have recently figured out. There's a way around it, so I'll skip on to the second and last issue right away. The second issue was that in IWD:EE they had removed the original IWD art from SCROLLS and VARIOUS ITEMS (weapons, armour etc.) and replaced it with the faaaar inferior scroll/item art from Baldur's Gate. Preposterous !!! A farcical decision . The esthetics, the menus, the art, the music, the sound, the atmosphere, the mood, and the feel of the original Icewind Dale game far outshines Baldur's Gate in every single area. Everything about it was so inviting and so atmospheric that I felt like I was physically there, setting foot in Kuldahar and standing face-to-face with undead wraiths in ancient tombs!! Why did they destroy part of that by replacing the art that is part of the IWD game's identity Anyway, my question is whether there has now come a MOD that fixes this problem and returns the original art to the game in EE ?? I've looked at gibberlings3.net and Beamdog forums to look for such, but I've been unable to confirm whether such a mod exists or not. I'm starting to fear a mod/tweak like this may not exist… So I ask you, fellow players.... I cherish Icewind Dale above any other game, above any other story, and I cherish the places the game took me to above any others. I love it. I was 13 years old when it came out in 2000, first time I played it, and the game introduced me to the whole medieval fantasy genre. It left a profound impression on me. I really hope there are ways to fix the above issue, as I really want to return to the Dale and play it *one last time*. I have the the original box at home with CDs and stuff, but they were meant for Windows 98. They don't work no more... So I reckon EE is my only chance to return to the dale a last time.

Hi, I'm using Big World to install some mods for Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition and I'm getting this error when I try to install the component "Loosen Item Restrictions for Multi- and Dual-class Clerics" Installing [Loosen Equipment Restrictions for Cleric Multi-Classes] [v4] Copying and patching 2059 files ...

I can't find any info on it. Thanks!

Edit: This applies only to INI files which are used for ARE spawns. I found the current description of this resource a bit confusing so after observing in-game and observed script references to these files in IWDEE I wanted to add some clarification. Under [spawn_main], 'enter' and 'event' are different in that 'enter' is triggered each time the player enters the map, while 'event' may happen instead of or in addition to that. Both can be controlled by variables, both use the interval to determine a delay before/between spawning critters (with 1 meaning spawn now if possible) and both can specify multiple entry/event definitions separated by commas, as critters can. The Interval itself is Real Time Seconds * 15 AI Updates/Second. Example AR3000.INI specifies a [3_Mins] section with an Interval of 2700; 2700 / 15 = 180 seconds or three minutes Real Time. For the creature definitions: // this can specify targeting info [EA.GENERAL.RACE.CLASS.SPECIFIC] or a script name spec = [255.0.0.0.150] spec = thief_12 // When present, the observed value is always '1' spec_qty = 1 // Script assignment at time of spawn; multiple scripts can be assigned (see scrlev.ids) script_Default = gnMMgSG // The Specifics value assigned to the creature at time of spawn; ai_specifics = 150 // Specifies how many instances of this creature to spawn create_qty = 1 // Might control checking if player's viewpoint is over the creature? (0 = don't care) // Update: testing shows no change to Actor/Creature fields with this flag set to 1. check_view_port = 0 // Determines if a party member has to be in the creature's LOS? (1 = no) // Update: testing shows no change to Actor/Creature fields with this flag set to 1. ignore_can_see = 1 // Defines one or more spawn points to use for determining the creature's spawned location // Orientation is optional spawn_point = [595.583] spawn_point = [595.583:14] spawn_point = [595.583:14],[787.562:14],[859.757:14],[1204.924:14],[1353.1135:14],[1638.1260:14],[1573.1349:14],[537.492:14] // Only has meaning when multiple spawn points are listed for the creature // R = pick a random spawn point from the list for the purpose of spawning the creature point_select = R // When present, specifies the Area Actor name, which is used instead of the creature's script name // If not present or the value is blank, Area Actor name will be copied from creature's script name script_name = thief_12 // Disregard this note as per Avenger's post below. // Finally this oddity used only in AR8012.INI; not sure what 'script_area' refers to. // All static Actor references to the script (ldIdiKil.bcs) in this example are in the Actor Race script level script_area = ldIdlKil

spec = [xxx.yyy.zzz.vvv.qqq] xxx, yyy, zzz, vvv, qqq - integer numbers - I have no idea what do they mean These numbers are the ID values. (IDs targeting, EA/General/..etc). If there is a creature fulfilling the 'specification', then the spawn won't occur. It should be set to the ID values of the creature, or infinite spawning will occur.
