Just the widescreen-3.07 should work.

so BWS will probably run fine if you start it with right mouse button -> "Run as administrator" but it's still a major annoyance. If it's possible I would suggest switching current Big World Fixpack code entirely to weidu commands and run the patcher executable with AT_NOW.

Is it possible with WeiDU commands to do a recursive iteration and apply conditional actions for every file and folder in a particular directory (fixpack top level), without copying them?  I guess you could do it with an INNER_ACTION inside a COPY of the whole fixpack folder with an IF expression that is never true...?

to be honest I don't know what "recursive iteration and apply conditional actions" means (I'm not really a programmer and my English is basic) but if you post here what exactly has to be typed in order to force the patch.exe tool to do it's job than I can write universal weidu code that will do the patching automatically no matter what is placed within directories. Code that will work with windows, MAC, Linux, and can be unistalled. Batch files implementation is wrong approach, imo.

Simple case.  We have these files in the following folder structure:

 

C:\BG2\Fixpack\

C:\BG2\Fixpack\bg2_tweaks\

C:\BG2\Fixpack\bg2_tweaks\setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2.patch

C:\BG2\Fixpack\bg2_tweaks\faster_start.tpa.patch

C:\BG2\Fixpack\bg2_tweaks\movie02c.baf.patch

 

C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\

C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2

C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\lib\faster_start.tpa

C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\baf\movie02c.baf

C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\

 

For each patch file, we need to run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i PATCHFILE" in the folder that contains the file we want to patch.

 

The Fixpack script doesn't try to figure out which folder contains the target file.  Instead, it just runs the patch command for EVERY patchfile in EVERY subfolder of the target mod.  Each patch file contains the name of the target file, so the patch command has no effect unless the target file is there.

 

Here is an example of what the Fixpack currently does:

 

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2.patch" // will patch the file

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i faster_start.tpa.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i movie02c.baf.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

 

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\lib\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\lib\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i faster_start.tpa.patch" // will patch the file

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\lib\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i movie02c.baf.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

 

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\baf\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\baf\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i faster_start.tpa.patch" // will do nothing, no matching file here

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\baf\ run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i movie02c.baf.patch" // will patch the file

 

This is the minimum that we need to do:

 

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\ we need to run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i setup-bg2_tweaks.tp2.patch"

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\lib\ we need to run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i faster_start.tpa.patch"

In C:\BG2\bg2_tweaks\baf\ we need to run "patch -p0 -l --no-backup-if-mismatch -i movie02c.baf.patch"

Great and thanks Imp.  In my downloads directory I have three files that might be what I'm looking for:
widescreen-latest.zip
widescreen-master.zip
widscreen-v3.07.exe
Any or all? 

Just the widescreen-3.07 should work.

Yep.

Here's some code that will give you all of the .patch files in a directory, searching recursively.
 

DEFINE_ACTION_FUNCTION ~PATCH_ALL_FILES~
  STR_VAR
    dir = ~~ // the directory to start searching for files
BEGIN
  OUTER_TEXT_SPRINT file_arr ~%dir%_files~
  OUTER_TEXT_SPRINT folder_arr ~%dir%_folders~
  
  GET_FILE_ARRAY EVAL ~%file_arr%~ ~%dir%~ ~^.*\.patch$~
  GET_DIRECTORY_ARRAY EVAL ~%folder_arr%~ ~%dir%~ ~^.*$~
  
  ACTION_PHP_EACH ~%file_arr%~ AS ind => file BEGIN
    // patch ~%file%~ here
    PRINT ~%file%~
  END
  
  ACTION_PHP_EACH ~%folder_arr%~ AS ind => folder BEGIN
    ACTION_IF (~%folder%~ STRING_MATCHES_REGEXP ~^.*/\.\.?$~ != 0) BEGIN // exclude /. and /..
      LAF ~PATCH_ALL_FILES~ STR_VAR dir = EVAL ~%folder%~ END
    END
  END
END

LAF ~PATCH_ALL_FILES~ STR_VAR dir = ~Fixpack~ END

Mike was faster, so no work for me. I'm looking forward for a new BWF than

Thanks!  I will add this to the to-do list...

 

I hadn't realized before, but the WeiDU documentation that comes up first on Google is outdated:  http://www.weidu.org/WeiDU/README-WeiDU.html
