How to do a Full Install by Jake
[17/Dec/2009] Update for those having the DVD version of Planescape: Torment: Instructions below can still apply. Each CD is mapped to one folder in the DVD. Copy the folders off of the cd's to your system locally. Then edit the torment.ini file that is in the torment directory. The top part should look like this: [Alias] HD0:=e:\Torment CD1:=F:\CD1\ CD2:=F:\CD2\ CD3:=F:\CD3\ CD4:=F:\CD4\ CD5:=F:\CD5\ If you copied the folders from the cd's to the following directory: c:\torment\ Then your ini file should be changed to look like this: [Alias] HD0:=e:\Torment CD1:=c:\torment\CD1\ CD2:=c:\torment\CD2\ CD3:=c:\torment\CD3\ CD4:=c:\torment\CD4\ CD5:=c:\torment\CD5\
UPDATE:Got this from a reader: hi, i think i found an improvement to the 'regular' full-install, which
minimizes loading time.
this change should make the game use the files without copying them first for caching. Thanks go to Christof for the hint! MORE UPDATE (Added By Ganesh):This was posted in the Bootstrike.Com Forums by Jason: For anyone running Torment on a newer machine (I run it on an P4), you can make the game run better.
This was posted in the Bootstrike.Com Forums by Jor:
If you don't know how to hard link, you can use Hard Link Magic (link broken, you can use Junction, Same Files Assistant or NTFS Link) to do this. Still More Update..From Northlander: Hey, a few notes on the full install, that many would find helpful. These are all -after- one has edited the proper paths into torment.ini: However, if you do this, to load a game saved in an area where cd3 or above is required, -even with using the crack-, it will ask for the CD. Because of how the cache-check works, the workaround for this is to select 'New life' in the main menu, and then load the later save file once in the mortuary.

Because it's not working for me, I keep getting these error messages, and I'm probably doing something wrong.. Just not sure what exactly.
In one of the mod installations (the widescreen mod or ui mod im guessing) i was asked to insert my x and y co-ordinates, which I took to mean my monitor resolution, so I inserted 1680 and 1050 (on a 20" widescreen).
Anyone tell me if this was the wrong thing to do, or is it some other problem you can help me with...?
Copied the DVD onto my c: drive through Explorer. I can now see folders for cd2, cd3, cd4, dx and the manual, plus a load of files. There is however no folder for cd1 (I'm guessing that the loose files from the dvd are effectively cd1), but more importantly there doesn't seem to be a torment.ini file.
I am new to this sort of business and don't know if I've done something silly, but hoping you can help.
Cheers guys

to the guy who said he couldn't find the torment.ini file: it will be wherever you installed to, in my case c:\black isle\torment. obviously you'll need to install the game as well as copying the disc contents across.
