View Full Version : Baldur's Gate II for Mac

Hello, I'm having some problems with various aspects of BGII for my g4 mac and was wondering if anyone on sorcerers.net can help me:

- I can't install Throne of Baal; it says I need to do a 'full' install which I've done?

- Where abouts are the patches for the mac version? They don't seem to be on the BG site. (This point could very well be me being very stupid)

- Mods: I've had BGII since it came out (only on the PC) and the only mod I've been able to find that actually works on the mac is the Dungeon-be-gone.

If anyone can explain how to get mods to work on mac I'd be very grateful.

Especially Unfinished Business and the Quest Pack.

Much Love.

I'm afraid that I can't even point you to the Mac fan community for these games any more since they've apparently gone under for good some time ago. :bad:

I spotted this:

MacPlay BG2 support (http://www.macplay.com/support/bg2.php#bhaal3)

which mentions the exact problem you described.

Hope this helps :) .

From the Unfinished Business ReadMe:

MacOSX Installation Notes

If you have previously installed this mod, you must uninstall it before installing the new version. To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your BG2 folder. If properly extracted, you should have a "ub" folder, "setup-ub.tp2", "setup-ub", and "setup-ub.command" in your BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click "setup-ub.command" and follow the instructions on screen.

I don't think Quest Pack has a MAC version, but I could be wrong.

Some Pocketplane mods have Mac links(Kelsey, Xan, and Dungeon-Be-Gone among them, as you've already pointed out).

Mac Community - here's a relevant thread:

(And, no, they definitely haven't gone for good. It just appears that some person hacked the site, and they had to change the domain; it was on their front page).

And here's some installation advice(a Xan Mac user had problems with their unpacker, so I thought it might be useful:) http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,24068.0.html

I was talking about the Balduran's Adventurers' Spa & Grill site. I've never heard of the one you linked to.
