I've installed BG2+ToB on my Ubuntu 13.04 system and I want to take advantage of all WeiDU seems to offer. I'd like to install the G3 tweaks as well. Any idea as to how to proceed correctly ? I haven't been so succesful at WeiDU installs so far

Well the BGT-weidu is a PC only unfortunately, among the hurdles is the fact that the BG1 data needs to be transferred... and the only Linux BG1 is the EE, which the BGT won't cover so far. Ascension64 would need to make that compatible and that's a try he hasn't said a whisper about. Well as far as I know.

This assertion by The Imp, I think, is incorrect. BGT-WeiDU is not PC-only. It has compatibility to install on both Linux (Wine-tested) and MacOS (unclear if tested). It is noted to install fine on Wine.

However, a linux user would be most appropriate to chip in here and say whether other Linux OSs support BG1 and BG2, because I don't own and test on a Linux system, I cannot say. I'd not jump to conclusions as The Imp has over this.

Not really. Just wait for the next version.

Disable Saving Throw Fix.

The 26498 executable on a vanilla install should be used as the starting point for installing mods.

If the guest has already installed a huge number of mods, then re-installing from scratch is painful, sure, but to directly answer the question - no, I am not going to remove the bytes check from the TobEx installation.

One other way is to take the 26498 executable file form the ToB 26498 patch, which is still widely available.

I haven't much of an idea about how to implement plugin support, but given that code changes from multiple sources have a high potential of conflict, it seems quite dangerous to me.

Yeah, you can easily just code a .patch file, chuck it in the ./TobEx/patch folder, and off you go.

Note there may be issues with calculating bonuses from launchers, as a bunch of functions will try to detect the launcher of ammo type, which would only ever return the first launcher of that type.

I'm getting multiple attack texts (e.g., "Gnoll attacks Player") that don't at all match the animations...or anything even remotely likely, for that matter. I'm pretty sure a single gnoll doesn't attack 6+ times per round. (Using latest versions of EasyTutu and TobEx. A few other mods, but nothing that should modify the attack sequence at all.)

Second, any chance of putting the feature to correct experience reporting back in? The way I look at it, the 10% bonus to XP is part of 2nd ed, it's just that it's only supposed to apply if you have suitably high stats. I suspect Bioware just got lazy and, rather than actually coding it, just assumed that everyone would create characters that met the 10% bonus requirements. (And, in truth, I usually do.)

Hmm, well Beamhaul got rid of it entirely. You are still entitled to use the old mod if you want to. Just don't use it with TobEx Disable Experience Boost component.

Another thing I just thought of, though this would clearly fall under new issues rather than revisiting older issues, is the concept of bashing chests and the like. I'm pretty sure in BG2, this is either buggy or hard-coded to never work, where in BG1, I believe it was possible.

Pretty sure means not sure or definitely sure? I don't have the time to find evidence for or against for you.

Yep, has been requested and is on my list. Too many potatoes in the list for my weight, at the moment...

All the usual stuff (OllyDbg, IDA Pro).

No, it isn't.

Found the cause, missing EFF file. Have added check and warning to TobEx, but you need to report at SpellPack forums that JUJUANI2.EFF is missing from the install package.

Thanks, will have a look.

Have you run out of disk space? Looks like the installation had a problem with the BIFFing process near the end of the installation.

Sys_error("No space left on device")

No idea just from that snippet, post your entire DEBUG file please.

BGT-WeiDU v1.18 has been released! Just fixed some final issues with the previous update.

Previous release notes

Glad to hear you worked it out.

Thanks for the update.

Have you confirmed it is TobEx by disabling TobEx?

Also, which spells specifically?

Ah well, another time.

Weird, the previous versions box displays the new file, but it still downloads the 1.16 install. I am re-uploading now. Must be some weird SHS DC bug. Possibly due to me not removing the previous file in the upload box and/or pressing Update Submission before the upload was fully finished.

BGT-WeiDU v1.17 has been released! Minor maintenance release fixing the installation process only.

Previous release notes

Must be having a bad typo day. Fixed, thanks.

Cool, thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, there should be a characters folder, which BG1 installation do you have? If not, you can recreate all the files in the characters folder with empty files to allow installation to succeed. There are:

cleric.chr

fighter.chr

mage.chr

multi.chr

thief.chr
