@Sam. Yep, it's exactly what I wanted to do: disable startup movies by replacing them with empty mve. My approach would be different: coping whole bif is not optimal so let's unpack bif, replace files and pack bif again. Thanks man!

Hi, How I can create an empty but valid MVE file? It could contain zero or one black/transparent frame etc.

The Longer Road: The Longer Road version 2.0.0 was tested against all possible cases and outcomes of the finale and should not cause any more problems.

@Gwaihir The PI metadata is correct because it reflect recent Iylos 2.7 updates. The Ascension readme is outdated and I will update it.

@Greyjungle While you can use different weidu setup-modname.exe for another mod, it has to be the same version. By taking it from older mod version, you have downgraded WeiDU 249 to 246. This time you were lucky because "Unfinished Business for Icewind Dale" mod can be installed with version 246. The general rule is to always match weidu version. Why this is happening? The 64-bit version of WeiDU has been using OCaml with Unicode support long time ago. Since WeiDU 249, the Unicode was 'enabled' also for 32-bit architecture. Unfortunately it means that it doesn't work on Windows XP. Workaround is as I said above to use special Windows-249-x86-legacy build. P.S. If you are still on Windows XP, you need to regularly check for WeiDU release page: https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/latest and use the latest "...-legacy.zip" every time when there is a new release. Please do yourself a favor and update to atleast Windows 7 SP1. You can do "windows xp to windows 7 in place upgrade" to keep all data/programs/settings etc

Ascension 2.0.21 russian translation of 1-8 lines from tougher.tra

I'm also against using mod categories for this particular list as it's is not it's main purpose.

Guide was updated to reflect recent WeiDU 249 changes, thanks @Wisp. AUTO_TRA is now fully supported.

@Dan_PPR was accepted,good job!

@Mordekaie The "or above" is default for all mods on the list.

@Tygaran It's probably because PI was already blocked. Try to open WD main panel, see history of the blocked items and try to use 'Action > Allow' for PI. Also try to use 'Process' when setting the exclusion. It should allow PI without disabling AV.

I've tested it and it's Windows Defender latest update. Please exclude ProjectInfinity folder from you AV.

I can confirm that this is no longer an issue for WeiDU devel branch. Can you confirm too?

@Graoumf I'm assuming you are viewing the (a github hosted) file via web browser? Then this is expected results as the file is not using UTF8 encoding. The solution is to convert this file from "Windows 1252" encoding to UTF8 locally and then replace inside mod repo an this extra repo for documentation.

@Mahatmah Ascension is fully compatible with BGT, it should be installed after it. You don't have to test alternative install order.

@Mahatmah Please update Ascension to the latest version. There was 12 releases since 2.0.8 with many fixes.

@Hack'n'Slash Use 100% scaling or workaround: set Windows Enhanced scaling on app compatibility option FYI, you poke wrong account

That's currently impossible.

@Bartimaeus Speaking from player perspective, I disagree that "a spell description is not the place to point out differences in behavior between the mod and the vanilla experience; that should be in a Readme." If a mod changes some spells mechanic and the description is not updated to reflect that, for me it's a bug. I rather had proper English description explaining altered spell behavior than translated 'vanilla' description. Having to have side-by-side the game and readme to read spell description is nonsense. Even if I read such readme once, the next minor update/bugfix could alter how the spell is working -> I'm noticing the difference vs old behavior -> I'm assuming that it's yet another bug. Please continue to do whatever description updates you want.

Replace 'day' with 'years'

Huh? I'm on vacation and there is yet another 'modding list' project? WoW. @UMNiK I have skeptical views about such kind of project because the success of it depends on the things that you have no control of it. Please look at previous attempt: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/72166/gitlab-megamod-project-all-the-mods/p1 Now, quoting one of your own GH question: You can't. There is ZERO benefits at the cost of double the work. It's how it is. Face it, accept it and make peace with it. Then try to live on. To be more precisely: most of the modders uses 3 main forums for announcing the mods: BD, G3, SHS while some modders use other regional forums: forums.blackwyrmlair.net, baldursgateworld.fr, baldurs-gate.de etc. Some other modders even use their own, personal forum/site. When the new mod is published on those forums, that's where people know about new mod, not by monitoring some unknown to everybody GitHub List. Adding new mod into the extra list means twice the work and no benefits <- this is the reason why this wont happen. It's very simple: 1 actions is less than 2 actions. Relaying only on community contribution is a road to nowhere. IMHO, the only way how such 'mod list' project would success would be to have combined effort of all those forum owners towards this goal and establish automated way to report newly published mods. So individual community contributions could be needed only for some corner cases (mods as attachments etc). And a dedicated webiste with a lot of features for modders that all old websites are lacking. Basically, a nexusmods.com for IE community, without ads and premium. I"m not expecting you to stop doing what you want but I have no intention of contribution to this project or similar ones that lack strong foundations.

@CamDawg Hi, noone except Dabus can be called 'BWS author' as he was the one who wrote 17000+ lines of code, me and everyone else were contributors.

@prowler Thanks, I've added the 8 lines. You know that positing files not gonna work for Ascension so next time please use translation service for such minor updates.

It's not.
