Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 ok I looked into the stuffit expander but it was buggier than my version so I didn't dl it. But after moving the files and double clicking on the command file a new terminal layout happened. here it is: Welcome to Darwin! /Volumes/Mac\ Disk\ 2/Games/BGII\ -\ SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command; exit dialup-4:~ mikey$ /Volumes/Mac\ Disk\ 2/Games/BGII\ -\ SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command; exit /Volumes/Mac Disk 2/Games/BGII - SoA/Setup-bg2fixpack.command: line 3: ./Setup-bg2fixpack: Permission denied logout [Process completed] Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 It is saying now my permission to do this is denied. How do I fix that so the terminal will let it complete. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 If you right-click and get info for the file "Setup-bg2fixpack.command" and look under permissions, what does it say? Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 It says that I have read and write access. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 How about the "BGII - SoA" Folder? Where did you intsall it? Home, or in the Applications Folder? Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I installed it in a game folder on the 2nd drive. I adjusted all the access privileges on all the drives and folders. I deleted and decompressed and getting the not executable message again. I think there is something wrong with the .command file. Everything I do with this ends in failure. It is frustrating. Now I can't save my game progress unless I reapply the old updates. But it crashes frequently. I was hoping this new update would be better, but I can't even install it. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 There are two issues, really: 1. The setup file isn't extracted with it's executable (which you already know how to fix). 2. You are lacking permission somewhere; although it sounds like you have installed other mods, so that leaves us with the setup file. If you can look at the file "Setup-bg2fixpack.tp2" and tell me what line 3 says, that might provide a clue. Link to comment
Wizardboi Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 YYYIIIIIPPPPPPPPIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE! I installed the patch! I downloaded stuffit patch 8.0.2 and applied it. Then deleted and decompressed the archive and it worked. It was stuffit 8.0 like you initially said. This is the first time I ever had this version fail. Thanks for all the ideas and help. That allowed me to try every possible solution that I would not have thought of. Thanks a million. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hey, that's great. See, persistance usually pays off! Link to comment

Wanderer Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 yep, it does unfortunately my patience is kinda low. Patch worked but the saving game failed is still occurring. any ideas on this problem? Thanks. 1. Look in your BG2 folder and check that "temp" = an empty folder, not a file. 2. Set the BG2 folder as an exception under Spotlight options, if you're using OS 10.4.x 3. Double-check that the permissions for the BG2 folder are set so that everyone can read and write, and apply to enclosed items. Link to comment
