Oh dear, I read that thoroughly, too.  I'm so embarrassed.  Thanks for the answer.

Unlike traditional Tutu, EasyTutu is not dependent upon Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate 2 being installed after setup is completed.  Both games only need to be installed for the EasyTutu setup process itself.

So yes, uninstall away  :)

I recently re-installed EasyTutu, after a run with another game (my HD space is limited so games have to come and go for everything to fit).  I have the old 5 disk installation and I'm lucky that when I bought TotSC, I had to buy BG1 again (it was all packaged together) because area 2400 (on disk 4) is corrupt on one version.

Due to the oldness of my computer, I've never had a problem with green water (2D graphics) and luckily enough, never had a problem with Beregost even after repeated visits to the town.  I also keep the BG2 interface because I like it but I'm in love with Ghrey's map.  I haven't really modded Tutu this time except for the G3 BG NPC Project. (No, sorry, I didn't install Finch, even though she's a hero ... and a librarian.)

Finally, many, many thanks to all involved in Tutu-ising BG1 - both the original Tutu and EasyTutu.  The whole idea was a work of genius.  The BG2 engine is so much easier to play.

Following all that waffling, my question is this:  Can I uninstall/remove the original BG1?  I don't mean the Tutu version, I mean the original install that EasyTutu copied from?  As I said, HD space is at a premium and I've effectively got 2 versions of both BG1 and BG2 right now.

Hello -

I'm not sure what is going on, but I am fairly sure it is not an EasyTutu issue.  Was your BG2 installation modded prior to installing EasyTutu?


No, it was a fresh install. IIRC, that was the order I install the mods too, if that makes a difference.

Hello -

all the icons on the left of the main game screen displayed the " N " from the map I think it is.

Hi,

Dunno if this has been reported before, ( too lazy to read 6 pages ;) )  I DL'd all the latest versions and installed them, then went to play and all the icons on the left of the main game screen displayed the " N " from the map I think it is. Then I installed the BG1 GUI for Tutu, and now it's fine, though in BG1 style not BG2.

Mods used - Easy Tutu, Baldudash fixes, Tutufix 17, ET Degreenifyer, ET kits, BG1 NPC Project, Spawn Randomizer, Slime Quest, IronModder pack, SoBH, Finch NPC, BG1 GUI

Cheers,
Davryd

Re my Beregost problem, it took a re-install to fix it. Before, no matter what, the moment I tried to enter the city, I crashed. Saving didn't matter, I couldn't crash in or after Beregost, cuz I couldn't get in to the city. Since the re-install, it's only happened once. Might want to add something about that to your FAQ.
It's just the same bug in different form.

Hello -

good to hear, and one more: if a bug is found and corrected in new version of easytutu, will I be forced to start a new game to get the fix? If, let's say, I haven't reach the part of the game where it occurs yet?

Very few reported bugs these days would even be worth a restart.  In a sense, EasyTutu is even less buggy than BG1 itself, as many of the bugs I've been fixing can be traced back to there.

Where appropriate, I will release fixes as "hotfixes," but I really wouldn't sweat it if some little issue comes up.  It's just not worth mucking around with a game in progress.  Just make sure you've read the "Known Issues" section of the EasyTutu page so that you don't get tripped up by Beregost with no fallback save.

Hello -

Two questions: does easytutu use tutu4 or tutu6 type spawns? And will easytutu installation automatically use bg1 music/casting sounds?

Regarding spawns: neither.  Tutu 4 spawns are just the normal BG1 ARE spawns, which don't work properly in the BG2 engine.  Tutu 6 spawns are a laughable study in inefficiency and unnecessary complexity -- IIRC the whole of the compiled Tutu 6 spawn scripts amounts to something like 70 or 80 *megabytes*.  Ick.

EasyTutu uses a lean, easily customizable spawn system that was, I believe, originally designed by CamDawg.  I ended up redesigning it some before actually implementing it across the game.  I believe that this final design, used in conjunction with the "Spawn Randomizer" add-on, yields what is by far the most robust and configurable spawn system available for playing BG1 in the BG2 engine.

EasyTutu will automatically use BG1 music.  It will *not* automatically use BG1 casting sounds, but I am fairly certain a mod exists to do just that.

Hello -

Just curious about this - its not really a big issue for me...

When I minimize my Easy Tutu game while playing in windows mode it almost always crashes after a few minutes. Playing BG2 however I have left the game paused and minimized overnight without any problem. Any idea why this happens??

I'm not sure -- I don't use windowed mode.  FWIW, I've always been able to ALT-TAB out of fullscreen mode and then resume later without issue.

Yeah, but I can't get in even after I save or restart the game or reboot the computer. I simply cannot enter the city at all. I just crashed trying to get into Nashkel.  :(
