@Ecthelion No need to ask permission for translation, just do it.

Ok so what I do is:

first install every mod til SCS with PI,

then manually install the rest of tactic components 

finally use PI to install the rest mods.

works perfectly for me, and thanks for the help!

Or by exporting the install sequence, manually modifying it, deselecting all mods, importing the manually adjusted install sequence, and preform installation.

Oh, yes. I first tried (but failed) to modify the existing version, so I didn't change the version number in tp2... I'm gonna redo version 2.1 !

Is this what you need for your program or is there something else ?

...

If you want to avoid such trivial mistakes with wrong tp2 version, you can locally use Mod Release tool: ModRelease - create new GitHub Release from commandline — Beamdog Forums

The initial setup is a bit chore, but after it, no more trivial mistakes during releasing new mod version.

Sorry, but I'm confused...

You are talking about this and mean that a new release is better / needed when new commits are added ?

EDIT : You mean don't use confusing... tag to avoid being confused... and to prevent confusing... others

 

Yes, PI need new release (not only ta) if you want to 'release' new version into the wild. Please read Delta Updates for mods hosted at Github · ALIENQuake/ProjectInfinity Wiki , 

The new version of the Ascension mod was released. It brings English proofreading of whitespace, punctuation and such, major update to French translation, minor updates for all other translations, fixes for 3 missing translation lines, compatibility with Stratagems "Start TOB with Watcherkeep" component, and some other minor changes and fixes.

One important thing that I want to mention is that the ability to translate this mod using tra files is restored, while also keeping the translation system: Infinity Engine/Ascension @ BGforge Hive. Now you can choose which method you want to use. In other words, for those who want to use .tra files, everything returns to how it was for the past 20 years, and for those who prefer the translation system, nothing changes.

DLCMerger is the newest version of Modmerge, it's just standard WeiDU mod. It comes without annoying bug where restoring game from backup would still mark it as 'modmerged'.

Congrats on release!

IAP was updated to remove requirements of changing setting for "Workflow permission" since too many people face this issue because of GitHub defaults.

No actions are required from modders as long as the latest version of IAP will be used when creating new repositories.

I found nice tool to help detection of changes inside mod folder during installation:

FolderChangesView

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/folder_changes_view.html

Usage should be explanatory, just add folder to watch and start mod installation with every component.

It's become hard to answer now.

I think when I didn't know the first thing about mods, weidu, components and all that, I would have found a GUI very valuable anyway.

I would probably have ended up trying to hand-modify whatever textual representation PI would have had, if any.

Now... as I said, I made a program just to my tastes (which are certainly _not_ everybody's tastes) so the comparison would be unfair.

But yes, I'm biaised toward text files anyway (maybe because I'm a software developer).

In general, text files are fine. The allow for even more automation and less unnecessary actions from the users. From what i have seen, advanced users prepare initial version of install sequence using PI and then modify/update it later. Since yaml is most difficult configuration file format for average Joe, you could create simple GUI to prepare yaml files and then launching 'modda' to preform final installation. There is definitely, an audience for such workflow.

Motivation: I couldn't use PI because I'm not on windows and I was fed up with borking installs because I forgot some mod or some components or failed at ordering. And I don't like clicking things anyway.

Is that mean that even if PI would exist for Linux, you would still prefer command line?

IAP was updated to remove warnings about deprecated 'node 12' and 'set-output' command . No action are required from modders.

EDIT: When creating a new repository, you might want to check 'Workflow rights' from the first post. No longer needed.

@TotoR Yes, Git is case-sensitive because it was created to maintain Linux and it's also case-sensitive.

Use this one liner:

git config --global core.ignorecase true

IMHO, it should be standard if you are working with Git/GitHub on Windows.

@ChristianWhich version of WoP did you install?

@Nathan82 Hey, if you still have installation on you drive, can you do weidu changelog of ar6200.bcs file?

@mike123

Do you mean the language order after clean game reinstall and using Ascension as first mod:

The first choice is from the mod itself, the second one directly from WeiDU.

Yes, it's possible to match the order but it was like that since 15+ years so doing it would probably cause problems for other people who are used to have English as 0.

The workaround 1: remove "lang\de_DE" folder from you game. Keep in mind that it will be back when restoring game from backup/verifying game files.

The workaround 2: make copy of weidu.conf file and after each clean installation copy it over before installing first mod

The workaround 3: create Ascension.bat file and use --force-install-list along with --language 0  --use-lang 'en_US' command line options

The workaround 4: use mod manager, you won't ever have to select language again

@Aryene 

From where you downloaded this mod? I have no idea how you manage to extract the mod archive and get single quote character at the beginning of the folder name.

Download the mod from this post: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/comment/1103544/#Comment_1103544 and:

1. extract it
2. open karatur\setup-karatur.tp2
3. replace 

   BACKUP ~\KaraTur\Kbackup~

   with

   BACKUP ~KaraTur\backup~

   4. Save file.

Now mod should be detected by PI.

@Aryene What's the "literal" name of the mod folder?

@Ironicus 

For you specific problem: Ascension mod is processing necessary additions of ToBEx but it fails because you have "bgmain.exe" from non supported 'BG2 gold' edition of the game. So reinstall the game and make full backup of it. Since you have 'gold edition', try to apply this patch as first step: http://www.shsforums.net/files/file/1086-saga-baldurs-gate-conversion/ - this will attempt to make "bgmain.exe" into supported version. If this step success, you should be fine to continue to install BG2Fixpack and Ascension and then rest of the mods. Try it and report back.

The bad news: You can't 'reinstall' the game and expect that the save will work unless you installed everything in the same order. Do you have backup of the old installation? So you can read weidu.log and see what order of mods did you use?

While such situation is certainly possible, the key point here is that we have active modder who understand dependences for both mods, so he made the change. I'm sure that there will be a away for him to update the other mod to account for changes either directly by mod author or hosting site maintainer. If not, manual install or ini edit will do the job.

Direct (as opposite to simply showing one install order rule at the time) detection of "circular dependency" by mod manager is possible but given that it only occurred once, it has low priority.

As Graion Dilach said, nothing more to add.

@subtledoctor For WtP and F&P, best thing to do for this particular case is to create pre-release version of WtP, which will take into account changes in pre-release F&P as they eventually become final.
