Download: DLC Merger (beta 1)

Mods or expansions that are distributed as DLC archives (such as the "Siege of Dragonspear" expansion) cannot be easily accessed or further modified by present modding tools. Similar to modmerge, this mod attempts to solve this restriction by merging DLCs with the main game. However, unlike modmerge, this mod is platform-independent and fits seamlessly into the stack of other WeiDU mods. Moreover, it is not limited to merge only the SoD DLC into BG:EE. It can be used to merge any DLC with any EE game, and the merge operation can be reverted simply by uninstalling the mod. It can be seen as the counterpart of the DLC Builder.

This mod provides three options to merge DLC archives with the game:

1. Merge "Siege of Dragonspear" with BG:EE (BG:EE and the SoD DLC required)

Merges the "Siege of Dragonspear" from any of the supported DLC locations with Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.

2. Merge a user-defined DLC archive (Enhanced Edition game required)

Merges a single DLC archive with the game. The mod prompts for the name of the DLC archive, which can be located in any of the supported DLC paths. Supported DLC paths are (in order of application):
- Documents directory of the game
- Installation directory of the game
- "dlc" folder in install directory
- "workshop" folder in install directory (requires DLC files with .mod extension)

3. Merge all available DLC archives (Enhanced Edition game required)

This option scans all supported DLC search paths of the game for available DLC archives. Each DLC will be merged in the same order as it would be loaded by the game, so that multiple DLC archives may safely override files from other DLCs without causing issues.

The mod is currently in beta. It has been mostly tested on Windows and briefly tested on macOS. However, more tests are welcome, especially on macOS and Linux, to sort out remaining bugs and compatibility issues.
