Ok, so with help from @Jalily I was able to get my mod to the point where all the files are named and I believe pathing correctly, but every time I run my setup (a .bat file that tells WeiDU how to find the right .tlk or something like that) I get a, well this:

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    What text editor did you use to make your tp2?

    @Jalily Notepad

    That should be fine. Could you post the tp2?

    @Jalily Here it is. I did some copy-pasting to make it because I'm lazy. Would that cause any problems?

    Your tp2 is encoded in some funky way. The first three bytes are 0xef, 0xbb, 0xbf, followed by the ASCII of the textual content (BACKUP etc.)

    I can only assume Notepad sucks more than it is normally credited for. You can try encoding the file differently. If that fails, do yourself a favour and get yourself a real text editor, like Notepad++ or ConTEXT.

    Slashes and backslashes are completely interchangeable.

    Edit: ah, it is the UTF-8 signature. Yeah, WeiDU doesn't like "invisible" bytes like that. Saving the file with pretty much any other encoding should work (depending on the vagaries of Notepad).

    Oops, yeah. I selected that accidentally when I was trying to figure out how to convert the file type. I'll see if I can fix it... Yes that worked. Thanks @Wisp. It works now.
