Overview

WeiDU Install Tool (WIT) is a graphical front end for WeiDU to install modifications for Infinity Engine games, such as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale or Planescape Torment. It is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS.

The tool offers all the functionality of the WeiDU command line tool as well as many usability improvements and convenience features to help with the mod installation task. It is meant as a replacement or alternative to the setup executables that are included in most mod archives, but can also be used for more general WeiDU operations. It is not intended to be a full-fledged mod manager such as Project Infinity.

 

Features

Tp2 Mod File Association:

The installer versions of the WeiDU Install Tool automatically associate* tp2 mod files with the application which allows you to quickly and conveniently install mods from the file manager without having to deal with setup executables. Alternatively mods can be opened directly in the application.

* Not available on macOS.

Drag and Drop support:

This feature allows you to drop tp2 files or the mod folders themselves onto an open WeiDU Install Tool instance to initiate the mod installation process if no other mod is currently being installed. It is available for installer and portable versions.

Customizations:

The application provides a number of customization options, which includes:

  • Displaying UI text and messages in the user's native language if available
  • Toggling between light and dark mode UI on-the-fly
  • Setting output text size and character encoding
  • Showing visual hints about the installation state
  • Warnings about potential mod conflicts
  • Customizing the mod installation process

More features are planned for later.

 

Installation

The application is available as installers for Windows, Linux and macOS which set up start menu and desktop icons as well as file associations* with tp2 mod files. Alternatively, it is available as portable zip or tarball archives. A Flatpack version for Linux is planned for later.

* Not available on macOS.
