Hey. I successfully installed a BWP megamod in my BG/BG2 setup. I'm currently playing through BG1 and I've come across a handful of NPCs speaking German. The first one I noticed was in Candlekeep and I've seen them in almost every major area. For instance, there's a smith named Breagar in the Thunderhammer Smithy in Beregost. According to Google, he's part of a mod called Ascalon. I did a Recommended mod selection and added a few BG2 mods I was already familiar with. I didn't realize the default included foreign mods. I'm an english speaker with virtually no knowledge of the German language, though noticing some cognates I was able to blunder through a couple inadvertent dialogues. I don't think I can uninstall the mod as I've come pretty far in the game and thus there are undoubtedly references to these Ascalon creature and script files in my saves. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Is there an english version that I could patch dialogue lines from?

My first attempt to use the BWP Setup/Install suite was in a wine system, but that ultimately failed. I've since been running the setup on my Windows 7 x64 machine. I disabled UAC and installed BG/II in a directory outside program files, etc. The installation was progressing fine, but during the BAT script process, the system started making a rapid beeping sound. The CMD title said "ToA\mp3\ZNOMOR59.mp3 - mpg123/w32 0.59s-mh2 (Not Responding)". The CMD window was filled with gibberish text. The debug log, however, was still being updated with progress from the WeiDU mods. The CMD window is frozen but as long as I don't have to do any more interaction, I think the install will complete fine. I guess CMD somehow crashed. Unfortunately, before I thought to check the debug log I did open Resource Monitor and killed one of the child processes (setup-kivan.exe) that was spawned by CMD. I don't know what that process was in the middle of, or whether or not it was done by the time the system killed it. Would it be possible for me to uninstall or reinstall just that WeiDU mod? I'm guessing I shouldn't just remove that mod through normal WeiDU use because I remember reading that the BWP system doesn't jive with the regular WeiDU backup and install order control. I suppose if it came down to it I could manually remove any scripts or creature files related to the Kivan mod, as to prevent encountering him and possibly running into a bug. Any suggestions?

I typed a long descriptive post of my problem, but then the forum software decided to fark up and lose it, so I'm going to be concise now. I'm running the BWP setup in wine-based crossover on a Mac system. I know BG and BG2 work, I've played them on it. Everything is relatively smooth until the bat file is run. The install procedure makes use of referencing text files with @ symbols in their names for language localizations. For some reason, the cmd in wineconsole is not parsing those symbols as part of a filename and are thus erroring out. POSIX systems should allow an @ in the filename and presumably windows does too, so this is probably a bug. Even so I need a workaround to get the script to run. I could potentially use a RegEx to replace the relevant @s in the bat with another safer character as well as write a bash script to rename the files, though I'd rather just escape the characters in the bat, if possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

Edit:
Right so I used a script to rename all the localization files and properly altered the scripts with a regex

\@[0-9]|\@[A,B,C]

It still doesn't work. I replaced the @s with x's and now it says

Path not found
Failed to open 'BiG World Installpack\English\'

File not found
Failed to open 'x0'

(or some other number)

Perhaps it's not the symbol in the paths. Any suggestions? I might try expanding the variable defines to represent full paths from the C drive.
