  • "Selected" custom voice lines not working?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 24 Nov 2021
    However, it's so convoluted that it might take you several hours to do this so you might rethink how committed you are to this idea. You want this tool and you need to follow the readme. It's annoying to deal with, you're gonna have to map each sound to text and what is it for. To give you an idea:

  • Custom Sound Sets No Selection Sounds?
    2 projects | /r/baldursgate | 31 Jul 2021
    The "secret trick" is to build a properly installable soundset. https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EE_soundset_tool provides a template and i have a bunch of actual implementations in https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/82008.
  • BG2EE - Custom Sounds Problem

    You want to look at CHARSND.2DA and SNDSLOT.IDS. I am also trying to document this in https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EE_soundset_tool/pull/1 but my PR is outdated, missing half of the info I know since and I had no time to properly update it with a fully useable proposal yet. When I'll get back to that PR, I can come back to you.

  • How to install Rogue Rebalancing?
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 17 May 2023
    Make sure you have the latest version of weidu (249, available here). I grabbed the rr download from github, which does not contain a setup file, and a new download of weidu.exe. Rename weidu.exe to setup-rr and it should work.

    Download WeiDU. (Download the one that matches your OS. Unzip and copy the weinstall.exe and paste it into your BG/BG2 install directory. Rename it to setup-eefixpack.exe and run the program. You may need to run it twice if it doesn't launch with language options.)
  • Need help Installing SCS for bg2ee on MAC!
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 7 Dec 2021
    I'm also not super experienced with Mac, but I know it's a Unix-derivate and *NIX doesn't use exe files. As far as I read that, you need to download the OSX version of https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/tag/v249.00, overwrite the setup-stratagems with the weidu from it (both of these files lack extensions) then bring up a terminal and chmod +x setup-stratagems.command and run the command file.
  • Trouble installing Banter Pack for BG2EE
    1 project | /r/baldursgate | 7 Sep 2021
    What is the WeiDU version of the executable? That error implies that you're using an older version of WeiDU than what the mod expects. Maybe download WeiDU 247 from https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases/tag/v247.00, extract your architecture and overwrite setup-banterpack.exe with the version included here.

    - Open https://github.com/GraionDilach/EE_soundset_tool and on the Code button select Download Zip, and unzip it somewhere.- Open `cd_soundsets\cd_soundsets.tp2` and `cd_soundsets\english\setup.tpa` in your text editor.- Add your lines with the text and suffixes provided. \~This is what I say.\~ [filename] fashion into setup.tpa. Replace bob with your filename. Note that all the filenames marked unofficial have both an underscore and a standard character suffix so your filename is limited to only 6 characters instead of 7. If you don't have a file for a role, delete the line from setup.tpa AND it's corresponding line (the one with the same index in the right coloumn) from cd_soundsets.tp2.- Create two folders called `cd_soundsets\sounds` and `cd_soundsets\wav`. Place all the official files into the `english` folder and all the "unofficial" files (the ones ending with an underscore) to the `wav` folder.- Download https://github.com/weiduorg/weidu/releases/tag/v247.00 (presume Windows-247-amd64), and copy the `weidu.exe` out from it into your game folder as `setup-cd_soundsets.exe`. Place your finished `cd_soundsets` into your game folder as well.- Start the setup. It should prompt you to install the "Soundset Tool" and answer with I appropriately.
