GemRB and 10pp installation guide

[reallyhairydave]

So the first part worked great, I've got all the BCS files in my temp folder. I'm having trouble understanding the decompile step though, I keep getting the unknown argument spiel

[reallyhairydave]

Right, I'm going to call it a night again. Thanks for being patient with me

[lynx]

you need to run weidu on each of those files. If your shell or weidu can't handle that many at once, try with a loop or limiting the glob and doing it in steps (for example [a-k]* then [l-z]*).

[reallyhairydave]

The only command that seems to get any traction for me is "weidu *.bcs" and it returns with things like "resource [*.bcsYUXTHRET.BCS] not found for 'decompile BCS command'". Things like "weidu [a-k]*.bcs" aren't recognised, I really don't get how to wildcard the .bcs files because it seems to double up the command somehow

[lynx]

does it work if you run it on a specific file, eg. weidu YUXTHRET.BCS

[reallyhairydave]

Yeah, that's the thing that really gets me confused. I've done it manually for the first file and wrote a basic batch file in this format that works too:

@echo off
START weidu.exe "01POOL3.bcs"

I'm manually copying the names over from a listing.txt file I made but it's going to take a while

[reallyhairydave]

Done... Looks like all the files are now decrypted to .baf format

[lynx]

If you had to do it manually, I suggest a backup.

Open WSL and move to the same folder, then run this to remove redundant files:

Quote

rm *.bcs

grep -L Player6 * | xargs rm

I'm getting this

"rm: cannot remove '*.bcs': No such file or directory"

and this

"grep: baf: Is a directory
grep: bak: Is a directory
grep: d: Is a directory
rm: cannot remove 'baf': Is a directory
rm: cannot remove 'bak': Is a directory
rm: cannot remove 'd': Is a directory"

[reallyhairydave]

I think it's because I'm running Minimum Install Setup for Kali Linex, I'm trying to find what I need to get it fleshed out a bit more

[lynx]

err, did you run that in the folder with the baf files? If there are no bcs files there any more, then no problem. The other errors are fine as well.

[reallyhairydave]

Oh you're right, forgot to check after running them 

[lynx]

so once you've removed the cruft, it's time to recompile the rest. So again just

weidu baf-file

for all those file.

I don't know how wsl works, but perhaps you can run the same weidu executable as well? Perhaps that way you can avoid the problems you had when decompressing and just do weidu *baf .

[reallyhairydave]

Same problem but much easier to make a quick change to the .bat and run that again

[lynx]

oh wait, we forgot to do the magic! Keep the list though.

Before recompiling the scripts, run this on each baf file (here named the-input.baf):

10pp/wrapper.pl the-input.baf 10 the-output.baf
mv the-output.baf the-input.baf
