Aha, the initial copying of files uses the current working directory, not the scripts directory. The attached version supports that now.

Hi Nendur, thanks again for this fix. Could you include this fixed install.sh in the main download please? I tried updating my install of BLG but encountered the same problem I had before installing on mac. I tracked down this fixed version of the .sh file you uploaded before and it solved the problem.

Are there any new errors?
The changes have been included in the recent versions.

Bearing in mind that this is a pre-update save, I've got a permanently bald shieldmaiden (I can open the Customize Appearance window and go "previous" and "next", but she has no hair at all) and my imperial garb as Kaiser is not appearing (I'm displayed as a generic German courtier).
 
On another note, how do I customize attire of my own character? If I right click anybody else I see the customize attire button, but not for my own character.
Fixed in next version.

Was it a helmeted or bare-headed shieldmaiden? The Kaiser was probably humble, I added customizable attire overrides to that now.

Okay, never mind, it looks like that was an error from not reinstalling the mod after the update. My bad.

I removed all the old files to make for a fresh download since the jade update. I'm not the most knowledgeable about placing mods so this may seem like a dumb question.
I did not use the workshop.

If I choose Run on the exe file I get this

From there, am I supposed to find the path to the mod folder?

Nevermind...I think. I just tried extracting it all into the general mod folder, and then running the exe and it seems to be working. I just didn't think to extract it all right into the mod folder. If that's not correct please let me know.

Even though I make the base DLC, I always look forward to the next release of this.
 
CK2 crashes immediately whenever I start the game with the mod enabled. I'm using it in conjunction with the agot mod. I made sure to downgrade to CK2 version 2.7.2 and downloaded the BLG 30-20-17 version. I also have all the needed DLC for this mod. Please help!
