Hi @DraikenWeAre, just looking at what I have missed during my absence (been a slave to RL...). Just wanted to say that what you have done here is very impressive. Looking forward to trying it out when a little more time is available.
@Sidney Okay I'm going to give you a possible solution to this issue and also an alternative to avoid the whole centralfix thing if you feel it's tedious, (since I personally don't do that anymore.)
1.For the direct solution related to the centralfix It seems you have not entered into the proper file environment.
Cd storage
Cd shared
Cd.......... wherever you kept the lang.zip and so on
2. Alternative to centralfix is just paste the files into the obb as so:
So you can avoid needing to do Centralfix.
PS: I just do this now and mod the game directly from the OBB ( cd storage, cd shared, cd OBB , cd com.beamdog.baldursgateenhancededition or com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition) or just copy from my PC into the OBB if it's a mod that takes too long to install on android as some do.
(Though as you can see from above you might run into issues using this method if you're on Android 14+, I need to get a mew phone before testing what to do and I don't want to buy a new phone until next year)
@jack_spar00w looking back at your original screenshot, I realised you haven't navigated to the instsll folder itself with termix. (Didn't motoce because it's early here atm honestly)
@jack_spar00w Your Chitin.Key might be the issue, the one I have for BG2 on Android is 861kb while looking at yours in the screenshot, it says 857.43kb , try copy it out of the main.5826.com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition.obb again.
@jack_spar00w that's how it's supposed to be, the chitin.key only exists in the main.... and the two obb files are extracted into the main folder.
I want to suggest to you to start over from extracting all the files, but don't use zarchiver , use WinRar because I used to use Zarchiver but after an update , the thing would always do somthing weird to the files which made installing have issues, which is why I crossed it out of the guide and said use winrar.
Unfortunately Winrar isn't as fast as Zarchiver and can't access obb, so you will have to extract them outside Obb android and then manually move them back with whichever file manager.
Zarchiver is still good for moving and copying but just don't use it to extract any file you want to mod.

I found someone on Reddit who might be able to help us.
He said:
There are no problems with using Perl itself, cpan, or Perl packages if everything is set up properly.
Are you talking about https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgate/s/XrFJyL7e6y
comments/1fkl9f5/perl_path_fix_help/)? Then this is not Android security restrictions. You are hitting general Termux design quirks explained at
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux
Edit your software to use Termux paths; all must begin with /data/data/com.termux/files/usr. Otherwise, use termux-chroot from the proot package.

he put the link on Reddit where I mention this problem we are discussing and said:
"Then this is not Android security restrictions. You are hitting general Termux design quirks explained at"
And put this link https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Differences_from_Linux
Maybe now we are closer than ever to finally correcting this mistake.
Great job

I'm having a problem with the weinstall lang-en_US.zip. I followed the tutorial 3 times but still I have this error:
P.S.: Don't mind the weinstall command :P

So basically Gamefolder/ModFolder/Tp2 of mod folder.
Or com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition/stratagems/Stratagems.tp2 is how it would appear on mine.
Use your file manager to makesure this is all correct as it's not an issue from your termux setup.
Is there a chance the mod files are not the right ones?
Type:
Cd android
Cd Obb
Cd com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition
Then start the install.
Where should i put the chitin.key file
Thing about my obb folder is that it has 2 obb files
And just in 1 of them there is chitin.key file
