@argent77 That patch worked like a charm. All seems well up to game opening not tested beyond that. Many Thanks for your assist.

All the Best

Hi Argent, thats a great help. I will certainly try that. Many thanks. 

HI Argent77, unfortunately I cannot use the latest versions of EET (13 and up) as they are designed to work with OSX 10.15 and my dusty old machine won't run anything beyond 10.13. But thanks for your input.

Graion, I know little about modding so a lot of what you said is beyond me, I'll try the version in your link later. Whatever the outcome I truly appreciate your efforts.

I am not sure if this makes a difference but I have managed to install EET V 12.2, I had to edit the tp2 file so that it would recognise the  proper exec. file, but when I launch the app I do not get the menu option to select a campaign. All I see is the usual BG2 EE main menu offer SoA, ToB, and the black pits. 

Thanks all, Ill report back once I have made another attempt.

Well my edits to EET.tp2 allow the installer to finish and install (with warnings) but for some reason i cannot  fathom i simply cannot begin a new EET campaign. The main menu loads up with Standard BG2 EE options (SoA, ToB, etc,.) but I just get this weird loop from main menu to new game so i give up.

EET does not want to work on Mac OS high Sierra. 

Hi Subtledoc, 

Sadly that didn't work. It does allow EET to install but when I open the game up to start a new campaign there is no option to start BG EE from BG2 launcher and if I try to start a SoA campaign I just get a weird loop where selecting new game takes you back to the main menu, so who knows. Clearly the stage I commented out is important to make this work. Oh Well thanks for your help. 

Just noticed that the executable file its looking for is named differently in the EET.tp file than it is within the application itself, For some reason the exec file is named BaldursGate-macos not BaldursGateIIEnhancedEdition which is what the installer is looking for... so I've changed the name of the exec...

... and that does not work either. Gonna try editing the EET.tp file to match the naming conventions and file path of my system and see what that does.

Regards

If I'd known my question was gonna cause a dust up I'd never have posted...

Anyway thanks to Subtledoctor for your idea. setup is running as we speak so i'll let you know if it works out. If it does maybe it will of use to other poor beleaguered macOS users, poor fools that we are.  

Hi there 1mac

Just wondering what version of OSX you are using? I am using High sierra (older mac can't update anymore) and your method of placing the relevant files and installers within the enclosed resources folder does not work. If I place them in the main folder within my applications directory it all goes swimmingly until about 5 mins in to the installation of EET when it craps out because it cant't find  "baldur's Gate II executable". Any Idea what this file might be as it's clearly not the obvious one that i'd click to launch the game or surely EET setup would find it as they are in the same folder?

Any help appreciated, thanks
