Mod Merge still required?

BelgarathMTH

Quick question - In the current version of BG:EE with SoD installed, is the Mod Merge utility that alters the chitin.key file still required to install Weidu mods? What about BG2:EE?

Will the upcoming update to IWD:EE also break Weidu mods and require the altered chitin.key? If so, is there a way to refuse the update or keep my IWD:EE 1.4?

If I can get a copy of BG:EE 1.3 working, will Weidu work on that as it always did before?

Thank you for your help.

BGEE + SoD requires modmerge. (Steam or Gog version)
BG2EE never did.
IWD does not require modmerge.
What modmerge does is to add the separate SoD key references to the one key that is used by Weidu, thus it is only needed for SoD.
Do you mean BGEE 1.3 or 2.3? We are currently at 2.3.67.3 if I'm not mistaken. The Weidu actually doesn't care...it is the mods that install with Weidu - most of them are designed for the current game version, so you may always have problems with using older versions + mods.

ModMerge is still required for installing mods onto BG:EE+SoD from Steam and GoG only. it's not required for BG:EE+SoD from Beamdog.

You can copy your folder with IWD:EE (or any other our game) and it will stay there untouched when you update the main folder. You can have different versions of games this way on your PC.
