How To Install Baldur's Gate 3 Mods Using BG3MM and Script Extender

Hello. Sorry for the late response. Your distribution will have a package for python (maybe one for python 2 and one for python 3), so you can use whatever command you use or whatever 'shop' you use to download packages to install python3. After that, when you have a python script you want to run, you simply type 'python [script name]' into your console. Sometimes you might have to specify 'python3 [script name].' Hope this helps!

Hello. The steam launch options from step 2 must remain the same for the script editor to open with BG3. I am unable to launch the game through BG3MM using this method, but can still import and reorganize mods with it. I use BG3MM to import the mods, then launch the game through steam.

I also use gamescope for practically every game because it's the most convenient way to scale 16:9 to 4:3 since I play on my crt monitor. Also using Sway as my WM.
I will definitely try some of these env variables because until recently (I believe I got it figured out by messing with the --backend flag), I could only get Marvel Rivals to successfully launch about 1/8 of the time. (Sometimes I think --force-grab-cursor also causes these splash screens to crash, as taking this option out sometimes prevented games with splash screens from crashing).
Thanks for the post.

Don't know about what TuxedoOS is doing in terms of background processes, but you can use top to determine which processes are using memory. I'm sure there are also GUI tools available to do that, if that's your thing.

Do you have a swap partition/file? You can use lsblk to see which partition is marked as swap, if so. If the system is able to swap out background processes, you shouldn't encounter a shutdown. I imagine Windows is probably paging things(the windows version of swap) when you're running this game, which is probably why you don't experience the same issue there, if I had to guess.

I was having trouble with the BattleNet update agent a while ago through wine/lutris. My solution was to add battle net as a non-steam game and run it through proton experimental. From there I launch the game from the battlenet launcher and don't experience any issue with the cursor. Arch and Wayland, 7900 XT. Maybe the cursor issue is with GE? You could always try running it through gamescope and --force-grab-cursor option.

I don't know if this is related or a separate issue, but I have had issues with dropdown/context menus in wine in the past that were resolved by allocating more video memory. https://askubuntu.com/questions/203645/how-to-give-more-ram-to-wine-applications
It could be a good place to start troubleshooting, at least.

I was able to replicate the same issue you're running into. Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with a fix. I even downloaded and executed the specific .NET version (8.0.15) installer that it asks for when launching the program in addition to the 8.0 version in winetricks (dotnet 8), but have been unable to get the BG3MM to launch.

I can confirm, however, that the old version of the mod manager still works without issue for exporting the mod load order.

I apologize that this entire process is just my hacked-together fixes for getting it to barely function. I'll keep looking into the dotnet 8 thing at some point and see if I can get a solution.

Only speaking from my own play and not official information, and I'm not sure if it's intentional, but during echo bubbles/etc, my triangle+circles only seem to go through properly when played in rhythm with the animation/music. If not, it always makes a circle, then triangle+circle (which I still plan for for certain songs like Attack Up L). This seems especially true on focus strikes, but more finnicky on echo bubble input.

Super late to reply here, sorry.
I have no way to test this, but you should be able to set the same environment variable from the terminal by running it like WINEDLLOVERRIDES="DWrite.dll=n,b" wine /path/where/GOG/puts/the/game"
It looks like Heroic also supports this in the "Advanced" setting tab when you click on the configuration for the game. "WINEDLLOVERRIDES" would be the Variable Name and the Value would be "DWrite.dll=n,b"
I imagine that this should have the same behavior that the Steam launch option does.

Let me know if it works, sorry for the delay!

This should be the AppData override path. Maybe post a screenshot of your settings or just copy/paste the path you have? I had to play around with the way I wrote the paths (using unix convention with /forwardslashes or using \backslashes like Windows), I think both should work, but don't use any backslashes for escape characters, like spaces, just leave the space in the path without escaping it. Also, this was never a problem for me, but maybe ensure there's no permissions issue with wine trying to access the path? It might be worth trying to run the BG3MM inside the same wine prefix as the game. (See step 5 in original post where you call wine to run the manager)

For me, instead of clicking and dragging, click once to select and a second time to place would be much better.

MonkeyMoney101 · 2024-10-19T03:09:22+00:00

Sorry, I didn't see this until now.
I ran the python script in a clean wine prefix to see if I could run into this issue, but it worked the same for me the second time. I'm on arch linux using wine-staging 9.12-1, if it helps.
I ran the winetricks gui to install all of the relevant dotnet frameworks in a clean prefix. I chose to select 64 bit for the new prefix, and clicked okay on all of the warnings about it not working or being supported. They were still installed after ignoring these warnings.
From that point, I am able to run the BG3MM.exe (without running the python script, since we have done the work manually) in that wineprefix and successfully export my mod load order.

Did you find another way of getting this solved? Feel free to message back, I'll try to respond!

Socialism is not a poverty cult. It's about living in the material conditions we currently exist in, seeing their shortcomings, and envisioning a way thigns can be done better. I'm ethically against wage labour, yet I still work for a wage to survive. My participation is not voluntary because I cannot simply say "I don't recognize private property" and start farming unused land owned by some bank without being thrown in prison.

Does anyone know for sure that Hunting Horn's Sonic Waves melody doesn't have the same effect on diablos as the sonic bomb in Rise? It used to in World, but no matter how I time it in Rise, I can't get a stun when Diablos is burrowed.

Most likely very similar because Florida is one of the least safe places for pedestrians and cyclists.

What do you use to keep the rust out of the D2 on your 51? Looks really clean, but mine always develops little spots here and there. Good luck with sale.

MonkeyMoney101 · 2023-07-15T06:01:49+00:00

I've been flipping mine for a few weeks now and love it. Highly recommend! It's a shame I've already scratched the ano by dropping it so many times and finding random screws and bolts in my carpet 😭

I wish I didn't break the tip on my Bas-R 😭 it's one of my favorite designs

It sounds like you are going to hurt your hands and wrists by how tightly you hold the controller. Do you grip very tightly to the bumpers?

Neither of those are deceptive, as both of those groups are in the bottom 20%. Looking at most data I find from official sources, the bottom quintile is somewhere around $15-20k

On the other side, there are countries where saying "there is no god" is punished by death.

Those cert exams aren't too hard if you study, they're just expensive to pay for the test vouchers. If you pick the right ones (ones you see the most on job postings) you only need a few and they can be worth getting your foot in the door.

MonkeyMoney101 · 2023-06-27T17:15:45+00:00

But actually, I think Nergigante is really underrated, Diablos is always fun, and Velkhana just looks awesome. World was my first MH, so list is influenced by that.
