WeiDU 237 do not detect IWD:EE Steam version on Linux
« on: January 25, 2015, 05:32:01 PM »
Game owned: IWD:EE Steam, on Linux

Code: [Select]
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition $ weinstall atp
weidu --log setup-atp.debug  atp.tp2 setup-atp.tp2 atp/atp.tp2 atp/setup-atp.tp2
[weidu] WeiDU version 23700

ERROR: Unable to find DIALOG.TLK in:
./^dialog\.tlk$

Please run this program in your Infinity Engine game directory.

FATAL ERROR: Failure("Unable to find DIALOG.TLK")

It works correctly on a Beamdog version of IWD:EE ran with wine.

I also have the 64-bit weinstall crashing at startup (using 32-bit version for now). OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Did you try calling WeiDU with the ``--use-lang en_us '' flag/arg? Also, please do an ls -l on both Beamdog IwD:EE and Steam IwD:EE (i think there's a file difference between those two that's causing is).

Edit: you'd rather see the next post  :)

The Linux version of Weidu only finds the game files when the filenames are all lowercase.

However, the Linux version of the game itself only finds them when they have their original case.

(See here for a work-around to satisfy both.)

When you run the Windows version of the game (or of Weidu) in Wine, all file system access goes through Wine's case-insensitive translation layer, so it doesn't suffer from that problem.
