Help! Tons of questions about BGT! Options

[Salk]

Hello! I am pretty new to the forum and have no knowledge of modding so I ask your help with some questions. To what I had understood, both BG1 TuTu and BGT let the player play the whole saga using the BG2 (or ToB perhaps ?) engine for Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. The difference that makes me want to play BGT is that it would let me give a marvellous sense of completition by merging the two stories and the two worlds into a single experience. Here I come with questions: is BGT enough bug-free to play the game without major problems ? Would you recommend installing it ? I think I have understood BGT is a TeamBG production and that their website has been down for a long time. Can you tell me why and what happened to the main coder of this great project ? What are the main differences between BGT and the mods BP-BGT / BP-BGT-DSOTSC which are hosted in Forgotten Wars ? Do they include more stable versions of BGT ? Are Wei-Du mods all compatible with BGT ? What are the system requirements for BGT ? Is there any valid documentation on the net which explains in the details how BGT works (installation and configuration) ? Can I take advantage of Dudleyville's fixes for Baldur's Gate 1 if I install BGT (or BP-BGT / BP-BGT-DSOTSC) even if they're not written in Wei-Du (they are installed in the Override folder of BG1) ? Please help me if you can. I am really interested in opening new horizions for Baldur's Gate and BGT seems what I do need to have the best experience possible. Thanks!

It still has some annoying bugs, but definitely isn't as bad as certain people say or imply (due to the fact their mods are compatible with - in fact usually work ONLY with - BG1Tutu).
Some people get disappointed after trying BGT while others fall in love with it. My advice: it worths a try.

I think I have understood BGT is a TeamBG production and that their website has been down for a long time. Can you tell me why and what happened to the main coder of this great project ?

I don't know much information about Bardez, the author of BGT. Before TeamBG was closed, I remember seeing him, he had been working on BGT bug fixes if I remember correctly. I haven't followed the development of BGT (and Big Picture) so I'm not sure what the current situation is.

What are the main differences between BGT and the mods BP-BGT / BP-BGT-DSOTSC which are hosted in Forgotten Wars ? Do they include more stable versions of BGT ?

I don't think they contain more stable versions of BGT.
BP-BGT contains Big Picture (Big Picture is a mod for BGT, it does not work without the Trilogy). I don't know any details about it, neither about BGT-DSOTSC (hopefully this version of Dark Side contains less bugs than the original one...)

Are Wei-Du mods all compatible with BGT ? What are the system requirements for BGT ? Is there any valid documentation on the net which explains in the details how BGT works (installation and configuration) ?
Can I take advantage of Dudleyville's fixes for Baldur's Gate 1 if I install BGT (or BP-BGT / BP-BGT-DSOTSC) even if they're not written in Wei-Du (they are installed in the Override folder of BG1) ? 

Its forums at FW should contain answers to these questions. If they don't, I suggest you to ask them there. I really don't want to tell invalid information on anything.
