THE GREY CLAN EPISODE ONE: IN CANDLELIGHT
Technical Manual – Baldur's Gate Edition, v1.9

Requirements, Levels of Compatibility

The installation package of this mod is WeiDU-based. (In common parlance: "This is a WeiDU mod.")

Requirements:

1. A working installation of Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast is required. You don't have to start a new game.
2. The availability of all, directly or indirectly required original game resources is assumed.
3. The basic functionality of all, directly or indirectly required game resources is assumed as unmodified.

Notes to requirements:
1. No full installation of the game is required.
2. The game installation does not have to be unmodified, but removed or renamed resources that are normally present in the original game may cause incorrect mod behaviour and errors. (Example: this edition of the mod does not work with BG1Tutu or BG Trilogy, and may not work with any total or partial game conversions.)
3. The game installation does not have to be unmodified, but the basic functionality of resources is required. (Example: replaced original travel regions that lead to different areas than in the original game may cause incorrect mod behaviour and errors.)

Compatibility on technical level:

This mod is compatible with all other standard WeiDU-based mods if they meet the above requirements.
A valid filename prefix is used for all installed resource files of this mod. The prefix is registered in the Community Filenames Prefix Reservations database.
