I just downloaded the newly compiled Weidu for Mac and tried again to create some biffs. This time, it compiled them into the data folder correctly, but I'm still getting the assertion errors any time the game tries to access the new content.

Update:
When Weidu creates a biff, it doesn't set the permissions right (could just be setup). I did a chmod on the biffs and gave full permissions - voila!

What permission does it create the biff with?

What chmod command do you use?

My knowledge of Unix is extremely limited, so I don't know exactly what this means, but here goes:

[Jeff-Martins-Computer:Baldur's Gate Series/BGII - SoA/data] jmartin% ls -l
total 951144
...
-rwxrwxr-x  1 jmartin  admin   1166390 Sep 12  2000 Spells.bif
-rwxrwxr-x  1 jmartin  admin    156344 Sep 10  2000 Stores.bif
----------  1 jmartin  admin      9686 Nov 21 01:31 testbiff.bif
[Jeff-Martins-Computer:Baldur's Gate Series/BGII - SoA/data] jmartin%

If I understand correctly, this means there are NO permissions. If I do a chmod 755 testbiff.bif, it fixes the problem. I'm guessing any permissions are better than none... :rolleyes:
