"PLEASE email the file SETUP-MYMOD.DEBUG to" message
« on: February 03, 2008, 05:52:40 AM »
I've noticed that more and more often, modders tend to indicate the mod's forum in the AUTHOR tag, and it's a good thing*; I think I'll eventually do so in my mods, as well.

But the error message reads as

Quote
ERROR: Parsing.Parse_error
PLEASE email the file SETUP-MYMOD.DEBUG to (author)

... which is confusing, if we are using AUTHOR ~http://forums.pocketplane.net/~. Perhaps "Please report this error at (AUTHOR)", or something else, better phrased, will be more convenient?

* Unfortunately, the same modders also tend to use GROUPS and "README: yes or no?" tags to make my install more lengthy and difficult, which is obviously an Evil Conspiracy, but that is another matter.

All of WeiDU's prompts, including this one, can be customized. Take a look at prompts.tra in the WeiDU package you downloaded, particularly:

Code: [Select]
@-1004= "PLEASE email the file"
@-1005= "to"
The Gibberlings Three - Home of IE Mods

The BG2 Fixpack - All the fixes of Baldurdash, plus a few hundred more. Now available, with more fixes being added in every release.

Thank you. However, since the author explicitly says that it is NOT his goal to have every string in WeiDU be replaceable, I decided to "bug one of the GUI-people if you really want a better UI", as advised.

This one is replaceable, so I don't see what's your problem.

If you say it's all right and won't break anything, I'll use it. Thank you.

"it is NOT [Weimer's] goal to have every string in WeiDU be replaceable" = you can't customize lines like "XXX parsed" or "copying and patching XX files", what is customizable is, by recursive definition, customizable  :D
