EE 2.5: EET_End Refused to Install. Wuh?

[Endarire]

My EET_End isn't installing and I'm unsure why.  EET is 1.0 RC12, the newest one for 2.5, and I'm installing onto 2.5.

Is it a WEIDU 2.47 version problem?  Seemingly not because I reran Setup-EET_End while offline using Weidu 2.46 and got the same result.

weidu --log nul --change-log _!mg1.dlg > _!mg1_dlg-log.txt

This community prefix doesn't even exist, where did this one came from anyway.

It's from dimension Gate .. http://www.shsforums.net/topic/61056-mod-dimension-gate-or-how-tv-bunny-searched-tv-remote-control/

Hm, I never used that mod nor do I remember any EET logs I've seen mentioning it but this error suggests that it has a bug and that crashes EET_end. I'd report it there and omit that mod for now.

If you remove .... _!mg1.dlg and _!mg2.dlg from override, eet_end is allow to install...

Put them back after and you will see in game if everything work!

If the name of the dialog file contains the symbol "!", its name in * .d files must be enclosed in "~". Otherwise, there will be an error. EET_end doesn't seem to do this when generating * .d files.

it seems to be done in .d files.

Only _!mg1.dlg and _!mg2.dlg show error

 

_!ACHLP.D _!DTRDR.D _!MG1.D _!MG2.D _!OLDWMN.D _!PRirn1.D _!DTRDR.dlg _!MG1.dlg _!MG2.dlg _!OLDWMN.dlg _!PRIRN1.dlg _!ACHLP.dlg

I was concerned the problem was with Dimension Gate.  How should things be fixed so the mod is truly EET compatible?

The problem is not with exclamation symbol "!" or with _! prefix, reason why _!mg1.D mg2.D compiles with errror is, WEIDU removes or does not use ~~ after EXTERN so if value has negative symbol - it will give error

 

when weidu decompiles "_!mg1.dlg" file -1 value remains without ~~ so possible fix is change value -1 to positive eg. 0 or Termination dialog is also possible so replace whole EXTERN ~None~ ~-1~ with EXIT

 

Original _!mg1.D ~-1~ is enclosed by ~~

 

when weidu decompiles dlg

 

replace files _!MG1.D _!MG2.D in the folder and uninstall/install mod:
...\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\Dimension_Gate\NEW\DLG\
