Hey guys, a question -
Using "Import WeiDU Log", PI will read the log, detect mods/components/conflicts, and select components automatically -- but how do you generate a proper weidu log??? I have a log from a previous installation, which lists all the components I chose, but it's in the wrong format and doesn't work for "Import WeiDU Log". Is there a special tool you guys are using to generate these logs?
The "Import WeiDU Log" function doesn't check for "mods/components/conflicts". It only set install sequence data. If you have weidu.log from the previous installation, it should work.
Anyway, using an imported weidu log is an advanced feature for really big installations. If you have small-to-medium install, you should simply select components that you want, expert it as install sequence and install it.

Are you using the WeiDU.log from the root game install directory? (eg ...\Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition\WeiDU.log) That should work to import as long as it's the same type of install etc.
One feature I found to be helpful in PE was the ability to imprt/export your load order .csv. It's funciton is similar to what you want to use your WeiDU log for, but much easier to manually edit and tweak. That way you can save your load order as a file, or several different versions of a file.
If you can't get your WieDU log to work, try manually doing it. If you look at each entry in the log, the comments should tell you which mod and component is installed; just download and extract all those mods into your mod folder, check those component's boxes on the list, set that order, then export the .csv file (click the E). Then go into that CSV file and rearrange all the lines until they correspond with the order given in your WEIDU log. Then you should be able to replicate the install order in your log.
The nice thing about doing it that way, is that you only have to go through and check all the boxes once. Then, in the future, you can load that .csv and get the same setup every time, so much MUCH faster. Comes in handy if you're trouble shooting a load order and want to figure out what's causing your problem too.
EDIT: I just learned you can load a weidu log and export the generated install list as a .csv. Wow, that would be so much easier than what I said above, lol.
is there anyway to easily add a mod to an install sequence? I'm only using a list of about 30-40 mods, and yet the UI lag is so bad, it took over 2 hours to select all the options in the left pane. I've exported my install order, hoping that would be enough, but several of the more "robust" mods in terms of selections have wiped themselves in a refresh. I really don't' want to spend another 2 hours waiting 30 seconds between every tick mark just to add two small mods.
Am I doing something horribly wrong? I feel like I have to be.

Add the mod by itself (uncheck all boxes) then copy and paste the install string into a saved install .csv

That's so simple and obvious I'm fucking ashamed I didn't think of it hours ago. thank you!
@ALIEN I am totally lost with this "occurrence". It is not systematic, it doesn't stop the installation or create a debug error file ... It is almost unoticeable if you don't watch the installation, looking at the right window of PI and pausing the installation for each mod.
I just did a new test on a new BG2EE. That time it happened with the following mods : Endless BG1 Component 8, BG1RE 43,
TangledIsle : 0, : RE : 22, hiddenadventure : 9 ... Basically each of those mods are working perfectly (usually they are installed with success...).
I can join the debug file for each one... But they all show the same sequence operated by PI :

Yeah, so I added the two mods, did as you suggested, and now the InstallSequence is whining that *five* mods aren't present, even though they clearly are.
I give up. I've got a basic install order worked out thanks to the basic sorting rules. I'll just install them all manually. I expect it'll be much faster and far less frustrating.
What I've been trying to get around the massive lag is bunding, so I'm not trying to do more than 30-40 mods, 150-200 components at a time. I've sorted the mods into "Group 1', "group 2' etc folders, load that folder in the "extracted mods" field, load a "WeiDU" log with JUST the components in that group, and that causes the desired mods to be 'checked.' If I'm not making any adjustments, I can just hit "start installation." If I want to add or remove anything, then I'll need to drag and drop to put things in order, but in 'bite-size pieces that's much more manageable.
Of course, I haven't *actually* had a successful install yet. The farthest I've gotten is loading my 5th bundle, when it turned out one of the IWDification components I selected had already been part of Group 1, and the whole job was borked. This is a vulnerability of the piecemeal approach. But if different components of a mod are being loaded at multiple points during an install (for example, if you look at Morpheus562's posted log on Github, IWDIFICATION is loaded in 3 distinct batches several hundred lines apart butchery has components before and after SCS, etc), I haven't seen a better way to do this, with the importing/applying 'sort order' function broken than to make sure they're in different 'batches.' Any way for PI to detect whether a component is already present and ASK before uninstalling it and uninstalling/reinstalling everything in between (and inevitably breaking things)?
Since then, I haven't been able to get "EET" to install. I've deleted by BGIIEE folder and replaced it, I've downloaded a fresh version of the file, and still no joy. If it were any other mod I might just suck it up and go on without it, but that's one's kind of essential Not sure how to fix this, except to try installing it by itself without PI next time I've got a clean base to build on.

Any idea ?
@ALIEN I have been doing a new EET installation without using the PI button "pause-installation" (which i was over using to follow preview installations). I had no issue where PI uninstalls and reinstalls successfully installed mods (i had to check each debug file to look for the identified sequence). Over utilisation of the "pause-installation" could be responsible ?
Okay, I at least figured out the issue I was having with EET installing.
My version of BGEE/SOD that is 'clean' is in E: BGT Backup\Backup\806
The version that has my BGEE mods is E: BGT Backup\806
PI was trying to install EET based on the "clean" version and therefore not seeing the Pre-EET installs.
Another issue I've had is with The Darkest Day being skipped. It looks like it will ignore it/fail to install it if The Darkest Day V1.14 isn't checked, and since it doesn't appear in the WEIDU log it won't be checked unless you do it manually.
Nope. I'm wrong. EET was rolling along fine, then came crashing to a halt: <log>
Please post your BG1 weidu.log and/or the list of mods you're installing to the BGEE folder prior to EET and check if you have a mod installed prior to EET in the BG2 folder. That error is caused by an external mod tampering wrongly with the SPECIFIC.IDS file (the SPECIFIC.IDS entry I see in line 44 of the unmodded SoD would be ALLIES_NEUTRAL there).
Will do if it happens again, but I deleted all the BG games, copied fresh versions, and reinstalled the BGEE items. Then EET installed fine, and I'm rolling through the rest of my plan without a significant hitch so far.
Spend the last 4-5 days trying to set up a load order/install sequence to my liking. I thought I was home free today when I finally pressed install.. but now I get the:
Dude, I totally feel your pain! I'm on day 5 myself!
I've been rolling along today, made a lot of progress. But I just hit an error with the Klatu tweaks mod (the "Drop equipment on petrification/disintegration/imprisonment" components.

The file is in 4 locations in my drive;
override (210 bytes),
weidu_external\backup\d5_random_tweaks\4020 (210 bytes)
sod2bg2_iu\backup\31 (258 bytes)
ctb\items\translate (258 bytes)
So I'm guessing the mod is looking for the larger file, and the larger file is the one that should be in the override folder?
Since a lot of people seem to be struggling with getting this program to run, it would be really, really helpful if the FAQ had a step by step procedure on how to get this to run in combination with Windows Defender:
Q: Windows 10: After downloading, Project Infinity doesn't start up.
A: Open PC-settings. Go to Updates and Security, Windows-security, Virus- and threatsecurity. Under settings for virus- and threatsecurity, click manage settings. Under Exceptions, click Add or remove exceptions. Click Add an exception, Process, and enter "ProjectInfinity.exe". After clicking on Add, Project Infinity should now run.
Note, I run on a Dutch OS, so I estimated the English terms. Someone running on an English OS should verify the terms.

So I started putting together a modlist to do a BGT install, but reinstalled Windows after picking up some new hardware.
When I try to install Project Infinity now, nothing happens. I'm running Windows 10, so I believe I should have everything needed. I've redownloaded it multiple times, but it will not do anything when launching the .exe.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm on a fresh install of W10, vs a 5 year old install of it when it last worked.

you AV program is most likely stopping it from running. Add exclusions.

Yeah, I have an exclusion already in place for Windows Defender. The Defender logs are saying it was restored from Quarantine, but it still isn't running
I suppose I can just disable Defender while I run it....
I have to say, this is one of the most frustrating programs I've ever had the displeasure to use. The fact it takes on the order of four hours just to click a bunch of checkboxes is... fucking crazy, I'll say that. The fact those checkboxes are then spontaneously unchecked after adding a new mod is infuriating.
Then to find out the "export" doesn't take into account any of the checkboxes and just creates pretty much blank file... Yeah, I'm not happy with this software.
I have to say, this is one of the most frustrating programs I've ever had the displeasure to use[...]
I understand saying things in frustration, but I think you are being excessively harsh. You only have to try managing every mod and option by hand to understand the immense added benefit of this app as it stand now. It is, after all, still under development, and by volunteer(s?) not a company of paid developers. Being a developer myself, I have an idea of all the effort and contemplation that goes into something like this. It's easy for things to cause frustration, including angry complaints to volunteers who are themselves trying to make our experience easier and less frustrating. Appreciation is their only wage. I came here to leave a note saying that I have just been getting to understand how to use this app, and that it's made managing mods so much easier for me. Sorry to call you out on this, brother. It makes me feel like my avatar looks.

Any idea ?
Yeah, so I added the two mods, did as you suggested, and now the InstallSequence is whining that *five* mods aren't present, even though they clearly are.
I give up. I've got a basic install order worked out thanks to the basic sorting rules. I'll just install them all manually. I expect it'll be much faster and far less frustrating.
Of course, I haven't *actually* had a successful install yet. The farthest I've gotten is loading my 5th bundle, when it turned out one of the IWDification components I selected had already been part of Group 1, and the whole job was borked. This is a vulnerability of the piecemeal approach. But if different components of a mod are being loaded at multiple points during an install (for example, if you look at Morpheus562's posted log on Github, IWDIFICATION is loaded in 3 distinct batches several hundred lines apart butchery has components before and after SCS, etc), I haven't seen a better way to do this, with the importing/applying 'sort order' function broken than to make sure they're in different 'batches.' Any way for PI to detect whether a component is already present and ASK before uninstalling it and uninstalling/reinstalling everything in between (and inevitably breaking things)?
Since then, I haven't been able to get "EET" to install. I've deleted by BGIIEE folder and replaced it, I've downloaded a fresh version of the file, and still no joy. If it were any other mod I might just suck it up and go on without it, but that's one's kind of essential
@ALIEN I have been doing a new EET installation without using the PI button "pause-installation" (which i was over using to follow preview installations). I had no issue where PI uninstalls and reinstalls successfully installed mods (i had to check each debug file to look for the identified sequence). Over utilisation of the "pause-installation" could be responsible ?
My version of BGEE/SOD that is 'clean' is in E: BGT Backup\Backup\806
The version that has my BGEE mods is E: BGT Backup\806
PI was trying to install EET based on the "clean" version and therefore not seeing the Pre-EET installs.
Another issue I've had is with The Darkest Day being skipped. It looks like it will ignore it/fail to install it if The Darkest Day V1.14 isn't checked, and since it doesn't appear in the WEIDU log it won't be checked unless you do it manually.

Please post your BG1 weidu.log and/or the list of mods you're installing to the BGEE folder prior to EET and check if you have a mod installed prior to EET in the BG2 folder. That error is caused by an external mod tampering wrongly with the SPECIFIC.IDS file (the SPECIFIC.IDS entry I see in line 44 of the unmodded SoD would be ALLIES_NEUTRAL there).

Any ideas?
I've been rolling along today, made a lot of progress. But I just hit an error with the Klatu tweaks mod (the "Drop equipment on petrification/disintegration/imprisonment" components.

So I'm guessing the mod is looking for the larger file, and the larger file is the one that should be in the override folder?
Q: Windows 10: After downloading, Project Infinity doesn't start up.
A: Open PC-settings. Go to Updates and Security, Windows-security, Virus- and threatsecurity. Under settings for virus- and threatsecurity, click manage settings. Under Exceptions, click Add or remove exceptions. Click Add an exception, Process, and enter "ProjectInfinity.exe". After clicking on Add, Project Infinity should now run.
Note, I run on a Dutch OS, so I estimated the English terms. Someone running on an English OS should verify the terms.
I was trying to install mods into BG2:EE using PI and I have some issuies with mods.
How can resolved the issues ?
I'm mostly using this recommendation- https://github.com/morpheus562/Baldurs-Gate-Install-Order-List-Repository/blob/main/user-submitted-weidu-logs/morpheus562/WeiDU-EET-2022-03-19.log
Thanks in advice !
Request: For the main post, add a section on how to disable Windows Defender (or somesuch) from preventing PI from loading.
Thankee!
https://lmgtfy.app/?q=windows+defender+exclusions
When I try to install Project Infinity now, nothing happens. I'm running Windows 10, so I believe I should have everything needed. I've redownloaded it multiple times, but it will not do anything when launching the .exe.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm on a fresh install of W10, vs a 5 year old install of it when it last worked.
you AV program is most likely stopping it from running. Add exclusions.
Yeah, I have an exclusion already in place for Windows Defender. The Defender logs are saying it was restored from Quarantine, but it still isn't running
I suppose I can just disable Defender while I run it....
you need to have exclusion for both the exe and the process (I also add an exclusion for the folder, just to be sure).
Then to find out the "export" doesn't take into account any of the checkboxes and just creates pretty much blank file... Yeah, I'm not happy with this software.
I understand saying things in frustration, but I think you are being excessively harsh. You only have to try managing every mod and option by hand to understand the immense added benefit of this app as it stand now. It is, after all, still under development, and by volunteer(s?) not a company of paid developers. Being a developer myself, I have an idea of all the effort and contemplation that goes into something like this. It's easy for things to cause frustration, including angry complaints to volunteers who are themselves trying to make our experience easier and less frustrating. Appreciation is their only wage. I came here to leave a note saying that I have just been getting to understand how to use this app, and that it's made managing mods so much easier for me. Sorry to call you out on this, brother. It makes me feel like my avatar looks.
