An easier way IMHO to run the --change-log command line feature of weidu or any other command line feature for that matter...

This is for Windows (I don't know Mac or Linux)
Follow the other instructions regarding making the results directory and ensuring that you have a copy of weidu. Then open notepad and type or copy/paste and then modify the following line to suit your needs: weidu --change-log ar6704-are --out results --out results/log1.txt Save the file as change_log.bat inside your game directory. Then in Windows Explorer double click on the change_log.bat icon/file name. It will automatically run weidu with the --change_log feature without you having to press enter a bunch of times...

If you need or want to examine the changes of multiple files, you can paste the line again as many times as needed. Just change the file name to look at (i.e. ar6704.are) and increment the log number (i.e. results/log2.txt) so you don't overwrite the previous logs


Thank you for the help.

Okay... got the change log to work.

It popped out a file... AR6704.0002.ARE and the log said:

[WeiDU.exe] WeiDU version 21000
[WeiDU.exe] Using scripting style "BG2"



Mods affecting AR6704.ARE:
00000: /* from game biffs */ ~SETUP-BGT.TP2~ 0 0 // Baldur's Gate Trilogy - Core
00001: /* from game biffs */ ~BG2_TWEAKS/SETUP-BG2_TWEAKS.TP2~ 0 3190 // Rest Anywhere (Japheth)
00002: ~SETUP-BGTMUSIC.TP2~ 0 0 // Full Baldur's Gate and Tales of the Sword Coast Music


I placed the file in the override. Didn't help. Still crashed when I enter the Jovial Juggler.
So that means it must be a creature in there?

Is there a way to run the log for the creatures in there or did I mess something up or should I do something else?

Thanks for all the help.

Did it with the quotations and now get: System cannot find the specified path

Yeah, cause you didn't do the path specification first like it was said in the link...
"cd c:\games\BGII - SOA\"
For example, again with the quote marks. <_<



I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

I type in cmd in the run command

I typed in this: "cd c:\<install path to SOA>\"

in quotations, as it said in the link.

and I get: this is not recognized as an internal or external command

Should I be doing something else?
Thanks

Can you post the textual contents of the baldur.err file?
(If there is anything useful in there.)


uhh... sure.

Which file is that?

I have a baldur.err file how do I get the textual contents of that?

You're dealing with someone kind of clueless about the ins and outs of various files.

Looks like something went wrong when converting that tileset. Could you attach your Setup-BGTDOS.DEBUG (not Setup-BGT.DEBUG) here? Fix is usually a re-install, but if that's a nuisance, then you don't really need the Jovial Juggler to finish the game.


Sure thing.

I could re-install everything but would rather not.

thanks for the help.

When I try to do the change log I get this:
'--change-log' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Did you go to the link... And type:
"--change-log ar6704-are --out results --out results/log1.txt"
With the quote marks to the cmd.exe... as in, it needs to take the whole line...
