i Entire installation instructions for the Baldur's Gate Mega-Mod

GREETING OF AUTHOR
Baldur's Gate is a game which absorbs me since I have played it the first time. Over and over again there is new to
discover or other play variations are possible.
When some years ago internet was absolutely new for me and I had established an internet connection for the first
time, I have searched of course also for a walkthrough for Baldur's gate. On this occasion, I came on the page http: //
www.baldurs-gate.ch/ and found a tip to the Mod DSotSC for the first time. Later I tried to install BG1 together with
DCotSC and TGC1 - and crashed sometime to the desktop. Since then I was again and again in search for solutions
for the conflicts and found thereby more and more mods - TDD, SoS, CtB. All of them had been in English only and
mostly unknown in Germany and I longed for playing these mods in German. Hence, I began in the year 2005 with
translation of some of the big mods and then brought to life the Baldur's Gate Trilogy Translation Project.
Sometime I stumbled upon a clue to BP and BGT (non WeiDU). When these appeared then in a WeiDU version, the
conditions for bigger megamods were created. After erebusant has published his first megamod instructions, I began
after careful analyses of the single mods with the development of my own megamod with reproducible instructions
whose most current version you have now before yourself.
Most of the other megamods have always failed up to now because of the fact that the players have thrown together a
few mods haphazardly. However, decisively for a functioning Megamod the right combination is the Mods. Also it is as
important to solve a problem at the root and not only to remove the symptoms as it was mostly done before. See in
addition also this contribution:

Now, with a clearly structured and uniform composition it is possible that also other experienced players with knowledge
in programming are able to develop patches that can be used by all the other players that play the BiG World
Megamod.
The BiG World Project is an extensive package with instructions, downloader, installer, bug-fixes and text-patches
(only in the German edition), that allows a smoothly and faultless installation.
However, the BiG World Project is (still) not perfect because also the mods are (still) not perfect. But a basis on
which all necessary improvement can be carried out efficiently is created.
Thanks all modders, cooperators and players who have contributed by your many tests, vigorous support, advice and
bug-fixes to the advancement of the BiG World Tools to his current form and have encouraged me over and over
again to go on working in this mammoth project.
I wish you a lot of fun with your BiG World Megamod,
Leonardo Watson
