and it's Weidu.exe and not the Linux one...

Running Windows-WeiDU through Wine is a bad idea. Linux-WeiDU is there for a reason.

"Guest", have you tolowered your game? Can you post a few samples of some files that aren't being biffed?

[Wisp]

Guest, can you apply this patch, reinstall the mod and post the new debug file? It's just some simple debug output to see which files are picked up by WeiDU.

Is there a way of getting a scrollbar for this? code tags don't seem to work. :/

You can use spoiler tags for the next best thing.

It's only a guess, but WeiDU is probably encountering an error while traversing the file list. The way the relevant function is currently coded, the error is silently discarded and WeiDU breaks out of the traversal and carries on with applying the patch list to the files it did obtain before the error.

Can you post a debug of only trying to biff tis&wav&bam (option 0), as well? Edit: Actually, if you could just compress and upload your override directory, that should be enough.

I was asking on the BWS thread and directed here - I just finished a mostly successful BWS install, but it failed on two things - the SCS smarter AI and the generalized biffing. I tried biffing again after the install (both all files and just tis & wav) and no joy. I'm attaching my logs, any advice would help. I won't lie, I'm pretty sketchy on what the errors even mean.

Use WeiDU 235 or later (this was installed with WeiDU 234).

[Alan Wiggs]

Well, it's certainly doing... something... now. Hopefully that will finish up and fix my lag problem. Thanks for your wisdom, Wisp!

[Alan Wiggs]

Done and done! That worked perfectly and the lag is gone. So relieved.

[subtledoctor]

Someone told me somewhere that WeiDU v236 + Generalized Biffing = bugged. Is that true? Is it, or will it be, addressed anywhere with an update or patch?

I needs me some Biffing!

[Argent77]

WeiDU up to v236 didn't biff certain kinds of TIS files (only found in BGEE/BG2EE) correctly. Only a small number of mods are using files of this type however, so it's quite safe to biff anyway. The issue has already been solved in the current WeiDU beta 236.02.

[Wisp]

Since subtledoctor is on Mac, there was another issue affecting biffing on OSX/EE which was also fixed in 236.02 (I think; I'd appreciate confirmation).

[Lollorian]

Argent77 posted a TP2 patch with support for the EE fileformats here

[The Imp]

Is there any reason for this mod to put '*.ini' files inside bif ?

Nope. And it doesn't.

[Lollorian]

Argent77's patch does

[The Imp]

... nothing to see here. Never mind.

Well it's based on this... except when I made the suggestion in the github, yes, that was me, I made a mistake of adding/(not editing it out) the wrong folder name, as :
-MKDIR ~generalized_biffing/prod/0/biffs/0~
...
+MKDIR ~Improved_generalized_biffing/prod/1/biffs/0~

 

Will lead to logical errors.

And you'll also notice that the suggested version uses my and Lollorians file name prefixes instead of the Bigg's. So the Improved Generalized Biffing could be installed into the same game as the regular Genbif... it also kinda needs a new tra -fication and translations for the Italian and French ... but it's just a few lines.

It also has the Argent patch in it. It would lead to the installation not taking manual entries as the GenBif today takes, but just component numbers, and you could actually add the component zero to be installed after the media(mods that contain .mve .wav .bam .tis .wbm or .pvrz -files) heavy mods are installed but before the BWS installs customization, mods that might want to be uninstalled, or mods that edit very few specific files such as the Level 1 NPCs editing just the one given NPCs .cre files.

The component 1 could be the last installed mod, as people can uninstall that, but you don't have to unbif all the media files while uninstalling the single Ajantis NPC customization. It should take a few minuted out of the uninstall process, if it takes a lot of time.

[Arm-chair]

Hey, when I enter the Cromwell's home, my game crashes and gives that error:https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing

I think I have problem with  bif file from original game and my game, because they are same. They are here:

1) from game with mods: https://drive.google...NXdMN1dFRWlhTGc

2) from original: https://drive.google...NXdMN1dFRWlhTGc
