GemRB and 10pp installation guide

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

 

So this is the pearl bit I take it. Am I running this in cmd or the linux tab?

[lynx]

I guess it should work in either, but I now see that you'll have to fix the path either to the files or wrapper.pl, since you're running it from a subdirectory, not the game one like I indicated above.

btw, in bash looping is done this way:

for file in path/to/your/folder/with/baf/files/*.baf; do
  10pp/wrapper.pl "$file" 10 the-output.baf
  mv the-output.baf "$file"
done

Just change that path as indicated when looking from the top game dir.

OK, looks like it needs to run out of cmd but it's asking me what to open wrapper.pl in (what program)

[reallyhairydave]

So I'm putting this into bash

for file in 10pp/temp/*.baf; do
  10pp/wrapper.pl "$file" 10 the-output.baf
  mv the-output.baf "$file"
done

and the files are coming out blank after this error message is generated for each

Are you sure this is a script file?

Oh, for windows I guess prepend perl.exe, so perl.exe 10pp/...

The bash error doesn't mention enough to be useful. Run it on a single file that you know is ok to check if everything is alright. Maybe perl isn't installed and something else ran.

I've been running Pearl from a cmd window after running state tool. I couldn't find a download for it

01pool2.baf remains the same.

"mv the-output.baf 10pp/temp/01POOL2.baf"

01pool2.baf is completely empty

This is where the player reference is in this specific file

It's Perl, not pearl, make sure you have it installed. There's a link in the readme.

perl -v

... prints the version or it will complain that the command is missing. Might be already included in WSL.

[reallyhairydave]

Looks like I do have perl "This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 1 (v5.28.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread"

Don't know if this helps but it's the first thing that isn't what I've already posted (from the cmd window) "perl 10pp/wrapper.pl 10pp/temp/01pool1.baf the-output.baf"

Argument "the-output.baf" isn't numeric in numeric le (<=) at G:\Games\GOG Galaxy\Games\Baldurs Gate 2\10pp/extender.pl line 235.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

[reallyhairydave]

No, that was my fault. Missed the "10". Now I'm back to 

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

[reallyhairydave]

Just spotted something while trying to mess around with the syntax, I have a file called "the-output.baf" in the folder I'm running it from, I checked and it has the extended code for the specific file I was testing so it looks like it works with cmd but not the linux tab. Decided to try the weidu setup again but still hitting an error, I saw it was creating extended scripts in the temp folders though while it was running

[lynx]

This all just reminds me why I stopped using windows 20 years ago. But good that you found another workaround ...

[reallyhairydave]

I have heard that Windows is like a virus compared with Linux but I've never had the experience to switch, I feel that I may be getting to the point where I could comfortably do it 

[reallyhairydave]

So I've got the extended code in the-output.baf for the file, how do I give it's contents to the original?

[lynx]

once you've done that to all the files, rerun weidu on them, so you get new bcs versions. Then just copy them to the override.
