Hi all

Here's a small utility to find the resource history of all IE files during weidu-based installations. I was using it to identify edited resources. Just run it in BG2 directory and it dumps all the file changes like this:

OVERRIDE/IMOEN.CRE=XPMOD#0;BPV177#0;D0QUESTPACK#1;BG1UB#16;BGT#0;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN.DLG=BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN1.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;SCS#70;BG1NPC#0;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN10.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;UB#17;SCS#120;BGT#0;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN15.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN2.BCS=BG2_TWEAKS#4010;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN2.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;SCS#70;BG1NPC#0;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN2.DLG=BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN211.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN213.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;UB#18;SCS#120;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN25J.DLG=D0QUESTPACK#9;ASCENSION#0;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN25P.DLG=SCSII#190;ASCENSION#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN2J.DLG=BG2_TWEAKS#1010;RR#7;UB#4;D0QUESTPACK#12;SCS#310;BG1NPC#200;BG1NPC#1;BG1NPC#0;BONEHILL#0;TS-BP#0;SOS#0;BGT#0;BG2FIXPACK#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN2P.DLG=SHARDSOFICE#0;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN4.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;SCS#70;BG1NPC#0;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN6.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;UB#17;SCS#120;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEN61.CRE=SCSII#201;BPV177#0;SCS#120;SCS#70;BG1NPC#0;BGT#0;
OVERRIDE/IMOEND.BCS=BG1NPC#1;

Full sample mega-mod resource history -> SAMPLE HISTORY FILE


How to interpret the dumpfile:
So for example, "OVERRIDE/IMOEN.CRE" was last edited by XPMOD#0; before that by BPV177#0; before that by D0QUESTPACK#1; .... where the #1 in D0QUESTPACK#1 indicates the component.

Couple of instructions:

• Run it in BG2 directory
  
• Set the post-installation directory to the folder where you keep all the post-installation weidu folders.
  
• Rule of thumb is that the program looks for modfolders using the modname in the SETUP-MODNAME.exe files.
  
• However, you can edit MTCUSTOM.ModTracker to specify overrides, the format is based on
  "MODNAME:MODFOLDER/BACKUP" eg "BP-BGT-WORLDMAP:BP-BGT_Worldmap/BACKUP"
  
• In the event that the program really can't find the backup folders, it will prompt you on the GUI, so you got to find the backup folder.

Note: This application doesn't edit any IE files.

Hey, bigmoshi - is there any reason this wouldn't work for non-Megas?

I get an error "weidu.log parse null".

I see the entries in D:\BaldursGateTutu\MTCUSTOM.ModTracker; if I switch those to standard Tutu mods, will the tool pick up, or is it hardcoded to "BGII - SoA" as the install folder?

Hi cmorgan!

Looks like the program has passed the stage where it was looking for your weidu.log. Its prompting cos there's some unreadable format in the weidu log that is unreadable by my regex match. Can you send me your weidu.log file and I'll see which mod is acting up for that to give you a new solution. Thanks!
