Version 9 of Unfinished Business for Icewind Dale Now Available

[CamDawg]

Like its predecessors for Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II, Unfinished Business for Icewind Dale aims to restore content and quests that were omitted from the game as shipped. The additional content in this mod is based on what I can piece together from various game resources and from talking with former developer JE Sawyer on the Obsidian forums. Later, through my work with Beamdog, I was able to secure some of the original quest design notes and further refine the restorations. Version 9 features a new Brazilian Portuguese translation from Felipe, four more items for the Minor Item Restoration component, and a small compatibility fix for the new IWD Fixpack release.

Experienced "not win32" problem with setup-ub_iwd.exe ( from v9) (using XP).

Used setup-ub_iwd.exe from v8 (had v8 downloaded before) with ub_iwd folder from v9.

Seemed to do the trick (at least Portuguese translation, ELFGLOV.ITM etc. were mentioned during install).

@Greyjungle While you can use different weidu setup-modname.exe for another mod, it has to be the same version. By taking it from older mod version, you have downgraded WeiDU 249 to 246. This time you were lucky because  "Unfinished Business for Icewind Dale" mod can be installed with version 246. The general rule is to always match weidu version.

Why this is happening? The 64-bit version of WeiDU has been using OCaml with Unicode support long time ago. Since WeiDU 249, the Unicode was 'enabled' also for 32-bit architecture. Unfortunately it means that it doesn't work on Windows XP. Workaround is as I said above to use special Windows-249-x86-legacy build.

P.S. If you are still on Windows XP, you need to regularly check for WeiDU release page: https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/latest and use the latest "...-legacy.zip" every time when there is a new release. Please do yourself a favor and update to atleast Windows 7 SP1. You can do "windows xp to windows 7 in place upgrade" to keep all data/programs/settings etc
