Fixpack - Linux Install Instructions


Recommended Posts

*Cast a resurrect spell on this topic*

Sorry for bothering you but I found something unclear in the installation instructions for Linux. It is said :

Linux
The BG2 Fixpack for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.

To install, run WeInstall bg2fixpack in your game folder. Then run wine BGMain.exe and start playing.

There's no mention of 'tolower' to be copied in /usr/bin and I had to think twice before understanding what I had to do, as weinstall bg2-fixpack went stuck.

Maybe it could be added that you need to copy tolower in /usr/bin as well :)

Thank you for your work !!! :goodwork:
