Proper way to install on linux?

The font you are looking for is called Sherwood. Here is a quick render you are welcome to use. Tomorrow I'll either try a macOS install or play around with case-sensitivity. If you need help with the linux instructions, let me know. This was just an eet-only install. Going forward, I want to try adding some pre-eet mods to see how things go.

thanks, it's now included in the package. It looks like this font is actually not the one used by Beamdog. All title texts are attached to this post in case someone will be able to recognize the font name.

 

At this point, is there anything another interested Linux user (me) could do to help?

nothing right now :)

@K4thos you may want to consider moving Argent's chitin.key fix into _end rather than _core. While I was working on my mega-install today, I realized that having it in the _core install phase means it's done before other mods that could potentially edit chitin.key as well... And of course, that's exactly what happened! The standalone chitin.key fix I packaged from Argent77's code does indeed work when I installed it as my last mode. To anyone else reading, that fix is in the the Linux Guide that I linked in my post above.

Just a small note: chitin.key in Enhanced Edition games is *always* using forward slashes as pathname separators, regardless of platform. Luckily backslashes are working on Windows as well, but that can change in any of the future patches. I would remove the IF condition completely that skips the fix on Windows systems.

I think I found another bug. Not sure if this is an issue with weidu or the installer, but in _end, the installer creates the stuff that is meant for the the user's profile folder in the root of the game folder instead, Including baldur.lua. This has the consequence of causing mods, in this case Lefreut's UI, to not detect that EET is installed, and thus not show the correct UI when starting the game. The linux version of the game puts the user-specific stuff in ~/.local/share/ ("~/" is the equivalent of "/home/name_of_user"). As you'll see in the log attached, Stuff is going into:

./Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy/

when it should go into

~/.local/share/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition Trilogy/
