Mod Installer

dark0dave · October 7, 2023

I have put together a very very rough mod installer, which installs mods (given a mod directory with .tp2 files) based on a previous saved weidu.log. This is very much a work in progress, but I would appreciate any input or thoughts. The intent with this mod is to optimize the install experience if you have a long log file then it can take a considerable amount of time to install mods. This tool should help that.

Here is an example:

mod_installer --log-file /home/x/projects/bg_mods/current_bg1_weidu.log --game-directory /home/casefold/bg1--weidu-binary /home/x/projects/bg_mods/tools/weidu/weidu --mod-directories /home/x/projects/bg_mods/mods (you can browse my layout here)

Here above I am using my bg1 weidu log, I have given my game directory as /home/casefold/bg1, my weidu-binary from my tools folder and some mod directories to search.

The tool traverses folder structure (4 levels deep) until it finds a .tp2 file, which it attempts to match to an entry in the weidu.log file. From there it executes weidu with the following:

weidu {mod_name}/{mod_tp_file} --quick-log --yes --ask-only {component} --use-lang {game_lang} --language {mod_lang}

This is executed from rust as a separate process, if errors are detected the process exits, if prompts are detected user input is asked for, otherwise the mod is auto installed. Re or Already installed mods are skipped.

Hello Dave, I will be trying this. Not sure when, and the recent release of Argent77 makes me happy because it seems we are now getting many alternatives to projectinfinity.

I should add that we are up to version 3.0.1, now for the mod installer. More features are coming watch this space!

@dark0dave

I've tried this, because none of the other tools I'm aware of, has the option to take an existing weidu.log into consideration and skip already installed mods/components.
So, I've tried the option '--skip-installed', because I want to add some mods/components to the end of an existing install.
Unfortunately with this option set, I always get a fault from the first existing mod component, in my case:
...
thread 'main' panicked at src\mod_component.rs:30:32:
Could not find tp2 file, from: ~TOBEX/TOBEX.TP2~ #0 #100 // TobEx - Core: v28
...

I'm on Windows 10.
My batch file to launch mod_installer:

Spoiler

@ECHO OFF
SET GAME_PATH=D:\GOG Games\Baldur's Gate BGT Test
SET RUST_BACKTRACE=1
REM SET RUST_BACKTRACE=full
REM SET RUST_LOG=DEBUG

SET GAME_DIRECTORY=%GAME_PATH%
SET WEIDU_BINARY=%GAME_PATH%\weidu.exe
SET MOD_DIRECTORIES=D:\03_Games\IE\Tools\PI\Downloads
mod_installer
PAUSE

This is my current weidu.log (the install was created using mod_installer):

Mod_installer seems to can not install BGT, probably because at some point this mod expects the input of the path to the BG1 install.
So, I want to install it manually and than continue with the rest from this log file:

Any help on whether and how this can be achieved would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @MikeX,

Sorry it took me so long to respond. This error:

thread 'main' panicked at src\mod_component.rs:30:32:
Could not find tp2 file, from: ~TOBEX/TOBEX.TP2~ #0 #100 // TobEx - Core: v28

Is caused by:

~TOBEX\TOBEX.TP2~ #0 #100 // TobEx - Core: v28 <- this is formatted for linux

~TOBEX/TOBEX.TP2~ #0 #100 // TobEx - Core: v28 <- this is formatted for windows

Notice the / to \ difference.

I have fixed this.

For installing ~BGT\BGT.TP2, I'll add a handler for that case, it looks like its structured differently to the mods.

Thank you for the issue on github as well.

I have been busy (its a bad excuse I know). But I'll try to fix this.

@MikeXI have a new release which fixes your issue. Should be fine to proceed whatever formatting you chose for mods. Ie, windows can now parse linux format and linux can now parse windows.

I also now have a fix for BGT and EET

This release should fix both of your issues:
