Who thought one of the most memorable quests would pose such technical difficulties and ways for exploits? This quest was a funny one and I remember lmao when I did it.

The link to the appendix has a typo: the uppercase A should be lowercase:

A major reason to think about reinstalling or at least partially updating is actually the recent update of Shadows over Soubar. The changelog looks rather impressive. Perhaps either @AL|EN, @Roberciiik or @Weigo could offer a quick line about if it's safe to do an in-place update, like there were no additional entries added to dialog.tlk? (Sorry if tagging all of you was considered impolite, no offense meant.)
You can assume that such a huge update won't be compatible with old saves. While this problem (having to restart the game because of the mod update) is much more common these days, I'm not aware of any method of how to avoid it.

Hmm I may have missed a step
- install the 2 components of fishing (the portrait one is dependant on the first component)
- weidu uninstall
But I saw no error in the output

And TIL weidu doesn't append to debug files when uninstalling (missing an option maybe?)
Maybe that's a language thing? I'll try again with "en_US" in weidu.conf...
EDIT: didn't change anything
If you are on linux, add "--log ff.debug" when uninstalling and then you will see it inside the file.

@mickabouille I have confirmed your findings, I've replaced "/.~ ~override/.~" with "~ ~override~" and it seems that fixed the "ERROR: error copying [....tis]" uninstallation errors.
Now, the only one that remains is:
Unable to Unlink [override/spell.ids.fishingfortrouble.tp2.1.marker]: Unix.Unix_error(20, "unlink", "override/spell.ids.fishingfortrouble.tp2.1.marker")which makes no sense to me. It disappears when I disable/do not install the "portraits" component.

@JohnBob Thanks for the report, I was able to fix both cases: EXTEND_TOP instead of overwrite · InfinityMods/FishingForTrouble@1796d4d (github.com)
I've tested it and now the BCS files contain changes from both mods, regardless of install order. Please double-check it and report back so I can do a new release.

Thank you for all your work over the years. It has certainly been exhausting so don't worry about life forcing changes. Good luck!

I'm a bit puzzled by the posts that appear to have been made while the forums where down, like the top 3 topics in http://www.shsforums.net/forum/268-infinity-engine-modding-news/
Those posts are from bots so the date might be misleading.

I've expected that you are facing some kind of non-trivial issues with this, thanks for letting me know.

@argent77 What's the story with macOS lacking file association? Can't you use CFBundleDocumentTypes or so: Core Foundation Keys (apple.com) ?

When I'm installing the new version, this should not be necessary.

The short response to this is that if people want the spells earlier they can get them from IWDification. There will be some more to address this when v35 releases, but one thing I won't do is just remove the IWD spells from SCS entirely - plenty of people would not know about them and would miss that content, even though IWD spell use is a significant part of the mod content and most SCS players use it. (It's worth noting that plenty of people play SCS-only, or SCS+Ascension+Tweaks Anthology only, or other very small boutique installs - I want to cater to them as well as people doing PI megamods.)
SCS IWD having globally unique labels would provide strong fundamentals for dealing with this challenge in the future.

I wasn't aware that NI is using an ancient build system, if this would take too much effort then forget about it. Still, worth a try.

Thank you for providing a portable version of the application, that doesn't require java to be installed. If only the same could be true for NI...

Multiline support is currently only enabled for "Description" strings, but that restriction can be lifted if needed.
Nah, it's not needed for any other keys, better to not open this cand of worms
When I handle this on PI side, I will update the metadata template with the info that the "Description" key is allowed to have multiline so 'copy & paste' from txt/html/other won't break it.

So even after seeing the recent shit regarding the install order that you are facing, I see no way to move forward with AppleScript. It's just too limited if you want to do something more than "a list of items" even with shenanigans and workarounds. The amount of time that would be required is far greater even when rewriting from scratch by learning and using popular tech like Python+QT, Electron etc. So if you ever questioned yourself about "Should I try to add yet one more tiny feature" and your answer was 'Nope', it was the correct answer

The PI's ini is based on Windows INI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file with a few changes:
- the single line comments are determined by # (hash) character instead of ' (single quote)
- additionally, since some modders confused the Infinity Engine ini files, the // (double forward slash) is also used as single line comments determinerSince WIT already can handle multi-line key values for ini because there is a high probability that this will happen again, I will try to do the same for PI also since this limitation has no valid justification. There might be some edge cases discovered later but for now, let's support 99% valid usage.
P.S. I see no problem sharing the source code for PI ini parser if you still want it.

it seems that WIT can't download weidu on the newest macOS unless it's moved into "Application" folder in Finder:
This is how Apple is doing things: an application downloaded from the internet must be moved by the user, otherwise it has not access to it's 'Package content' aka files laying directly where the executable is.
I suggest you add some folder check during extraction: If macOS version of the app is trying to launch itself from the "Downloads" folder, display a dialog asking to move the app and relaunch.
