Searching in the WeiDU documentation I found


Version 76:
        * Also look in GAME/CDx/Data/ instead of just GAME/Data for BIFFs.

Does this mean that WeiDU doesn´t read the baldur.ini to find the CDn subfolders?

To explain: I (and perhaps many others) have more than one BG2 installation on the same harddrive and all these installations share the same CDn subfolders (just to save disk space).

WeiDU does not (currently) read baldur.ini to find the CD paths. If this is vastly annoying you, or if this is moderately annoying you and you can get one other person to chime in, I will fix it.

Well, I know a lot of people having more than one BG2 installation on the same harddrive sharing the same CDn subfolders to save disk space.

BG2 runs perfectly but now it seems that WeiDU mods doesn´t install properly on these installations.

If 'vastly annoying' is the magic word, then yes, it´s vastly annoying me .

No, I think to fix this problem is a good idea, because

- it´s a bug in WeiDU
- it can prevent bugs that no-one will ever find. (Have you ask someone reporting a bug if his CD folder are inside the bg2 main folder or somewhere else?)
- it´s easy to fix (I guess)
- pleeeeaaaase

Just asking: Wouldn't you have noticed already? I thought you've been running your hundreds of simultaneous installations <_< for a while now?

It's on my todo list.

Well, I haven´t *played* BG2 for a while and I don´t know which files are in the CDn subfolder. I allways thought it was music and graphics only, but then I saw in the Setup-RtW.debug that WeiDU tries to search for biffs in the CDn subfolders. RtW has still a lot of bugs but perhaps my installation has a few more?

@weimer: Thx .

- it´s a bug in WeiDU

I don't actually believe the old behavior to be a "bug" in WeiDU. Applying a cheap heuristic was exactly what I intended when I wrote the code. Regardless, WeiDU 92 checks the ini files and uses the values in them.

- it can prevent bugs that no-one will ever find. (Have you ask someone reporting a bug if his CD folder are inside the bg2 main folder or somewhere else?)

Actually, the log file would have made it clear. :-)

Sure. Anyway, for a quick fix you can copy WeiDU 92's EXE file over Setup-Foo and reinstall. Let me know if there are any problems.
