I can't blindly delete (or hide) these files - while dw#ranged.bcs is obviously unused (and should and will be moved away, since it introduces bugs), removing marker files (or the IDS files created by commands like ADD_SPELL or GET_UNIQUE_FILE_NAME) could introduce bugs when trying to install a new mod on top of gen_biff.

Hopefully done. Can you download the beta version of gen_biff (git link in my sig -> bigg_misc_mods -> Download button around the top right) and see if that solves the problem for you?

Indeed, there is a dw#ranged.bcs file in the override (an invalid name both for the engine and for biffing, being > 8 chars). Would that not explain it?



Aha. Can you do a changelog for me? It's not on my local SCSII install.

Thanks, I'll upload a new version of gen_biff soon enough.

OK, it's obviously some kind of bug in SCS, one which is probably harmless until and unless you BIFF, but which then causes trouble. Will chase.

I just completed a multimod install run (see attached weidu.log) on my Mac, and am about to very briefly playtest. The only mods that failed to install were Ninde and Xulaye. Irritating, but I'll skip them until I learn how to solve the issue, whatever it is. If playtesting suggests a playable installation, I'll install Generalized Biffing, and report the results.

Happy modding,
Eric

I have no reason to suspect that the current version of gen_biff requires testing on OSX (or any other platform) - it now uses a better algorithm for listing and moving files, which is OS agnostic (unlike the one I was using when I first released the mod).
