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;

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.
