I was so hoping I could spend my holidays (when I finally have time), with Kivan Help, anyone?

If the mod was previously installed, uninstall it before extracting the new version. Please note that this mod is incompatible with Mod Organizer. Kivan of Shilmista is packaged and installed with WeiDU. To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your BG2 folder. If properly extracted, you should have a Kivan folder, Setup-Kivan.tp2, Setup-Kivan, and Setup-Kivan.command in your BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-Kivan.command and follow the instructions on screen.

<SimDing0> Did you know G3 has secret forum rules?
<CamDawg> Yep. They're generally of the nature 'don't annoy Idobek.'

It installs fine for me (Mac OS 10.3.6, not that it should matter).
I do remember an error message saying that the file "may not be executable" (and deciding that it was the lamest error message ever
) while testing some mod , but I don't think it was this one, and that .command file was of course replaced with a working one later on. Not much help. I'm afraid.
I'm sure somebody will figure this out sooner or ater, but if you want to play the mod before that, you can always try to install directly from the command line. It's not as scary as it sounds
If your BGII directory is in a fairly predictable place, all you need to write is
and then
(the backslashes are necessary because OSX doesn't like whitespaces in directory names. Putting a \ in front of it tells it to ignore the following characterm in this case the whitespace. I can't say I figured that out myself, but once I read it, it made perfect sense)
If your BGII directory is on another hard drive or partition (like mine), you'll need to write something like
and
instead.
(if a mod has new areas or sound files, this would not work, since the uncompression tools for files like that are called from the .command file, but that's probably not relevant here)

cd /BGII\ -\ SoA2

"It is difficult to imagine a gibberling social structure. It can be roughly compared to the social structure of lemmings throwing themselves into the sea, or of a school of pirhana in a feeding frenzy. There is no sense, no organization, and no individuality. Though they clearly have a primitive means of communicating among themselves, they have no discernable language."
