1. No, you don't need any weidu logs. People often use them because it's the fastest way to do massive installations as it overrides the mod tree's install order. Also, it bypasses the mod tree entirely in terms of install order and 'checked' state. So it's like 'batch mode installation'.

2. While it's possible to manually install DLCMerger into SoD and use it as a base for EET, PI requires a clean SoD game. The easiest way would be to select BG2EE game (or EET which is just BG2EE-For-EET) and "put those mods into Enhanced Edition Trilogy - BG:SoD mods installation category". When it comes to EET, PI has a rule: everything before EET is installed into the SoD game. You can test this setup like this:

//[EET-BGSoD-Phase]

DlcMerger:1;"Siege of Dragonspear" DLC
bgqe:0;Slime Quest

//[EET-BG2EE-Phase]

EET:0;EET core (import zasobow);
A7#ImprovedArcher:0;Ulepszona podklasa Lucznika
EET_end:0;Standardowa instalacja

3. See 2, but PI won't sort any mods.

4. Yes, the install order does matter, PI doesn't have any built-in install order. But it has many ways of using community-created ones. If it's a simple EET install, you could just move mods at the mod tree and you should be fine.

5. Like this:

This is how you do it:

setup-stratagems.exe --language 0 --force-install-list 2050 2060 2080

@Yovaneth Bending Weidu? Did you mean IE?

I have also successfully installed the Talents of Faerûn Beta 5 using Windows 7 Simplified Chinese:

@lzw104522773 Please try to install ToF using clean BG2EE.

@WanderingScholar VSCode + BGForgeMSL + unicode-Substitutions - Visual Studio Marketplace would detect this problem instantly

I can confirm that there are no issues on Windows 10/11 Simplified Chinese:

Environment: Clean BG2EE, Talents of Faerûn Beta 5

@lzw104522773 Hi,

What Windows 7 version do you use: 32-bit or 64-bit? I'm not negelecting those problems but there is one error in the log: (Out of memory) that might indicate 32-bits.

I’m afraid I only treat the actual release as canonical. I don’t make any promises about its synchrony with GitHub uploads.

Well, if you want players to have one-click, bulletproof updates, it's required to make it work. It also protects you: you will never get a false bug report because of corrupted archive extraction/malformed files/leftover files from previous releases.

I hate GitHub with a venemous loathing, why did I ever let you all persuade me to start using it?

@Incrementis

I remember that there was some trouble with the slashes at the beginning of the BACKUP, remove "./" just to be safe.

Avoid ACTION_READLN unless you want to force players to babysit the whole installation for many hours.

As for the issue: the ALWAYS block will be re-executed a second time when component 2 is installed.

@DavidW You have released v35.8 and day later, you have pushed this commit, which is newer than v35.8 tag and it's not part of the release. Then the release packages were manually created with different content and added into the release. So now when PI is downloading the mod, it uses v35.8 tag that doesn't contain the actual v35.8 code. Same if people are updating the mod. While git allows for certain things to fix this in a hackish way, the proper way to fix it now is to increment the version and create new release.

In the rush of new changes, bug reports, and fixes, things like this can easily get missed. Both IAP and Mod Release tools allow either for avoiding this problem or quickly spotting it.

@Kriznick Either wait until it get's fixed or manually download the latest package and do not update the mod untill the fix.

You're welcome.

ERROR: Failure("resource [ui.menu] not found for 'COPY'")

You can fix this by editing sfo2e\lib_sfo.tph, line 874 from this:

		ACTION_IF !lefreut_ui BEGIN

to this:

		ACTION_IF !lefreut_ui && enhanced_edition BEGIN

ERROR: Failure("ERROR: charsets were not converted because iconv could not be found in lang/iconv")

It's because SCS has an old version of charset_wrapper.tph. Replacing stratagems\sfo2e\charset_wrapper.tph if via the one from this topic: [tutorial] Slightly streamlined handling of tra files via HANDLE_CHARSETS - Modding How-Tos and Tutorials - The Gibberlings Three (gibberlings3.net) will fix the above issue. 

But then there is a new issue:

Ascension 2.0.28

• Update Infinity Auto Packager
• Update Simplified Chinese translation
• Fixed swapped encodings for Chinese and Traditional Chinese

Note to translators: This is the last version that require ANSI tra files, next version will switch to UTF8 tra files.

Thanks, I will make new name so those two won't be confused.

Understandably, you write code to suit your preferences. I'm dealing with many mods from many different authors, I have to constantly be aware if I'm checking the right folder. This is also for convenience: it's easier to check everything inside one folder for every mod instead of constantly getting back to two levels. Now, let's say a modded who uses"BACKUP ~weidu_external/tod/backup~ adopted the function. Now the mod-related files are placed in two different folder schemas. The 'standard' matters to make things easier for debugging.

I'm nitpicking here, I will gladly make some tiny modifications to this lib to cover my use case. Can I?

@DavidW I wonder if you could add an option that places converted translation into "weidu_external/%MOD_FOLDER%/lang" instead of "weidu_external/lang/%MOD_FOLDER%" ? While my wish would be to have one standard for the weidu_external directory, it appears that people already prefer the former for their mods, so it could make function adoption easier.

Use "--noautoupdate" or " --update-all". 

But if I add it to the classic BG2 ToB file, does the engine will know how to translate STRING TWO_TURNS into INT 120, for such baf code:

SetGlobalTimer("VA#StartPart2T","Global",TWO_TURNS)

?

TWO_TURNS is only for EE: https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/files/ids/bgee/gtimes.htm

What would be an equivalent that can be used on a classic bg2tob engine?

First-time launch is confusing:

- application is launched
- instead of the main window, the user is present to select a file, at macOS default settings the required file extension (tp2) is hidden from the user interface until the 'kind' option
- no main application window is displayed and the 'file selection dialog' is not always topmost

My suggestion would be first to show the main window to match standard GUI application behavior and then either show the 'file selection dialog' or leave it to the user to click the button.
