EasyTutu: Info, FAQ, Mods, etc.

[ithildur]

So, returning to the question regarding Dudleyfixes, if I have my BG1 install fixed with Dudleyfixes, and I install Easytutu,

You have just F'ed you install.
You need to have a clean BG1 and BG2 install for EasyTutu, as the EasyTutu will make the Dudleyfixes to the EasyTutu game, not to the BG1.

If you read the older posts in this thread by Miloch and MacReady's response you'll see that not all of Dudleyville's fixes have been implemented by Easytutu.

I realize the usual instructions for a safe Easytutu install calls for a clean install of both bg1 and bg2, but I thought I'd ask about this anyway - since Easytutu is a more modern mod and uses weidu, likely appending files in the override that it copies over from bg1 and bg2 rather than outright replacing them, or creating it's own versions of the override files, I thought there might be a chance that Easytutu and dudleyfixes might play together nicely.

I haven't started the installation btw, would rather wait until I have an answer/suggestion from Macready or possibly Miloch. Mods like UB for BG1/tutu may also cover *some* of the fixes from Dudleyville so that may be the way to go.

The point is, browsing through Dudleyville's website and documentation, there's a TON of fixes (and tweaks too) that are quite sensible, over 700 changes, that I would install in a normall (non tutu) bg1 game; as excellent of a mod as easytutu is with tons of fixes, I'm guessing there might be at least a few things aside from the lone hobgoblin mentioned above that Easytutu did not implement/fix, and from the sounds of Macready's response, he has no plans to include in any future updates.

Got the reply I was looking for over on the G3 forums, thanks to CMorgan! Looks like for now, pending completion of the project Miloch and others are working on, Unfinished Business will have to do (and it does do a nice job of patching up quite a few things Eastytutu doesn't fix - between the two I would imagine a good portion of Dudleyfixes' work is covered)

Just do note that it's the UBforBG1 that you need to install, and not the Unfinished Business(for BG2).

Hello -

Actually most of that is false.  Although I'll only support installations from a clean BG1 / BG2 base, in practice the presence of Dudley fixes probably won't have an adverse effect.  And, EasyTutu does not include Dudley's fixes, although I've certainly done my share of fixing things over the years.

May I suggest you have a look at the FAQ linked in this thread.
