Troubleshooting (or: 'My PC is on fire help')
Back shit up all the time. You should do this all the time for everything. Seriously, hardware dies and stuff is getting more and more expensive to replace. Protect your stuff.
Also, read the usage instructions first. If you did everything they said correctly, you'll never need to see this page.
Windows is a whiny little bitch. Click the More info link in the window, and then Run anyway. I am not paying money I don't have on a free tool to prevent this from happening. Better explanation below for people who care.
Seriously shut up SmartScreen I don't care
Open Settings and choose Divine.exe, or set LSLIB_DIVINE.
Choose the folder named Baldurs Gate 3. Do not choose Data, bin, or the Steam library parent folder.
Check the GR2 path in the converted LSX or use the legacy Bounds Calculator plus LSF Patcher.
Skipped files are usually not VisualBank files, cannot be converted, or do not contain usable GR2 references. Check the log for the exact reason.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. Close the Toolkit and inspect your files. If the Toolkit overwrote the output, restore from backup and run the patch again with the Toolkit closed.
Well, shit.
If you are asking for help, open up an Issue ticket, and make sure you include important information like:
- Which tab/tool you used
- The relevant log output
- The selected source path
- Whether a
.bak-*backup was created
The more information you give me about an issue, the better. I can't fix things if I don't have all the information needed to figure out the fix.
Do not upload private project files unless you are comfortable sharing them. I'm never going to do anything with them but still.
Too bad. Issue tracking is hard as it is and I don't want stuff buried in Discord also stop using Discord for issue tracking jesus christ. If it's not reported here in the repo, it's not getting fixed.
Windows chucks a wobbly and shows “unknown publisher” because the exe hasn't been digitally signed with a recognised code-signing certificate. Code signing is a paid verification process costing upwards of a couple of hundred dollars a year which I do not have, so I have not used it for this small tool it's the curse of anamnesis wooooooooooooooOOOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOoooooo.
SmartScreen is a reputation-based warning system. It doesn't mean Windows found malware; it means Windows doesn't yet have enough trust signals for this exe or publisher. Basically, the more people press Run anyway on an exe, the less Windows will whinge about it. This goes for most indie dev tools, not just this one.
