Basically I need someone to walk me through the process as if I were a toddler.
So I have a mac running 10.5.6 and have BGII installed along with TOB and the latest patch. I played them years ago and loved them more than I love taffy (and I'm a man who enjoys his taffy </Adam West). I've been hearing all this great stuff about all these mods so I decided to give it the 'ol go 'round. I was able to install WeiDu for mac just by clicking the installer.command file but I can't get any mods to work. I'll give the BGII fixpack as an example, but it's the exact same dance with every mod I try. I unrar them in the BGII directory, and when I click on the .command file (as per the readme instructions) it says I don't have permission, even though I do. After a bit of research, I learned how to chmod =x it to make it an executable file but then when I try to execute it, terminal gives me this :
Last login: Sat Feb 28 22:33:25 on ttys000
/BGII\ -\ SoA/install_bg2fixpack.command ; exit;
rons-macbook-pro:~ Ron$ /BGII\ -\ SoA/install_bg2fixpack.command ; exit;
/bin/sh: /BGII - SoA/install_bg2fixpack.command: Permission denied
logout
[Process completed]
I read somewhere else to copy and rename the weidu-mac file and replace the setup-bg2fixpack file with it, but when I do THAT I get this error:

rons-macbook-pro:~ Ron$ /BGII\ -\ SoA/setup-bg2fixpack ; exit;

The Dialogue.tlk file is right there in the same BGII folder in my HD and everything I read on this process says I'm doing what I'm supposed to. My guess is that there is a simple "smack myself daftly on the forhead' answer to all this but damned if I can find it. I'm brand new to the world of modding and I've never used Terminal for anything before so I'm feeling a bit out of place here. I'm in India for work for a year with very limited options for entertainment so I need this. I REALLY want to start playing with some mods as they look like a BLAST! Please help? Pretty please?
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. Please excuse my ignorance.
