G3-packaged Mods

[Salk]

Hello!

 

I have a weird problem: all the mods packaged with the G3 installer (Divine Remix, P&P Celestials, GMinions) seem to be giving me the same error.

 

The WeiDu won't even start. I get this error message (roughly translated from my localized Windows XP system):

 

"An error occurred in <namemod>.exe. The application will be terminated."

 

What is funny is that if I unzip it in another directory where it can't start and then I copy the single elements back to the BGT directory, it does work flawlessly.

 

Strange...

 

My computer hates me and the feeling is mutual...

Anyone else having these problems?

I am not having this problem on a Win XP SP2 install. I *do* have two potentially related side issues, though;

first, Macready's .bat auto-updates and then immediately auto-launches the setup-mymod.exe. Some of our mods do not do this; they follow the older pattern of having to rerun setup-mymod.exe.

second, for some reason The BG1 NPC Project, Divine Remix, BG2 Fixpack(not the latest as I have not had a chance to download it yet) et al seem to leave the WeiDU window open when displaying the ReadMe, requiring both ReadMe and WeiDU to be manually closed independently. I remember this behavior as "open ReadMe, WeiDU closes".

 

so if you are doing any tweaking of the template package, I would love pointers on these, too Probably not our .bat, but just to make sure...

WeiDU 199 delays "Press ENTER to exit" until after you ran AT_INTERACTIVE_EXIT ~VIEW xyz~ et cetera, to allow people to copy DOS errors and whatnots.

Acually i have same problem i think, always has too. All mods gives same error as topic-starter. Strangely, portrait and fixpack has installed anyway. But Anniversary mdo wont. All Gibberling mods give this error exept widescreen mod.

Remove the "setup-*modname*.exe" from the directory and copy the latest "WeiDU.exe"(v210, from this package here) to the game directory, and then make a copy out of it, which you'll rename as "setup-*modname*.exe", and then run it ... that's manual an update of a WeiDU.exe, the samething the Autoupdate does.
