GoG version of the game and Mods (macosx)

Hello,

 

First, thanks all the community and moders for all this work. I have replayed BG 1 and 2 with great pleasure thanks to you.

 

I just buyed the GoG version of the game for my mac book air (Mavericks). The game work but I can't seems to install the mods (tweak pack, fix pack and unfinished business).

 

First, I'm not sure where to unzip the file. In windows it's simple, but in mac I'm not sure. Is it in the same folder as the game or do I do a "show package content" on my IWD folder and unzip somewhere inside (likely in the same folder as icewind.ini) ?

 

Second question (and the bigger one), the readme say i just have to click on setup-g3daletweaks.command to install the mod. But when I click on it i have a message sayong that the file couldn't be executed because I don't have the permission rights (not sure it's the good term, I translate the error message from french) even if a) I'm administrator and b) permission are on read and write for me.

 

If someone can help me, I would be very grateful.

Assuming this is IWD and not IWD:EE (both are available from GOG for OSX), what you have is the Windows version inside a Wineskin wrapper. The wrapper is an app that "wraps" a version of Wine around a Windows app to let it run on OSX.

 

You need to "Show Package Contents" on the app, then navigate to "drive_c/GOG Games/Icewind Dale" (something like that, I forget the exact folder name). Find the folder where the CHITIN.KEY file is. That is the folder to install the mods into.

The permission you want is execute permission (+x to read permission's +r). Bear in mind you will likely also need to set the same permissions on the file setup-g3daletweaks.

 

While we are on the subject, does anyone know what the deal with .command files are? An executable shell script that runs another executable in the same directory seems rather redundant.

arkhos94 - FYI, you can't set the execute permission from the Finder. You need to use the Terminal.

 

Open Terminal, start the command "chmod a+x ", drag in the first file, and press Return. Repeat for each.

 

 

wisp - The .command file can be launched via a double-click from the Finder. The .command file changes the working directory to the game directory before running WeiDU.

 

Double-clicking on the setup-MODNAME WeiDU binary doesn't change the working directory to the game directory. It runs it from the home directory, which results in this:

$ /Applications/Baldur\'s\ Gate\ -\ Enhanced\ Edition/Game\ Data/00777/Baldur\'s\ Gate\ -\ Enhanced\ Edition.app/Contents/Resources/setup-bg1npcmusic ; exit;
[/Applications/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition/Game Data/00777/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition.app/Contents/Resources/setup-bg1npcmusic] WeiDU version 23700

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.

FATAL ERROR: Failure("Not a game directory")

Press ENTER to exit.
