In order to get the included Mac app (which I was delighted to see!) to work I had to give the actual program binary execute permission: % chmod +x "Morrowind Dialog Explorer.app/Contents/MacOS/applet" After which it fired right up, so I guess it's just a minor packaging issue. Looking forward to seeing what it can do!
Well, I'm so bad at this is even kind of funny. I can't get the load order right, it says "Failed to parse config file: While reading from 'config.ini' [line 4]: option 'c' in section 'load_file_paths' already exists". Could you please give me an example of a working config.ini? Sorry
It would be easier to understand your problem if you share the config file that you get this error for. It sounds like you may have pasted your esm file paths into the ini either without "paths =" on the previous line, or without indentation (four spaces) between the start of the line and the "C:" in a Windows file path.
If you re-download MWDE and then do nothing but remove the semicolon ";" characters and one space at the beginning of lines 11, 12, 13, and 14 of config.ini then it would work (i.e. everything before "path" on line 11, and then the exact same characters on the lines after) - assuming that your files are at the same places. (Which they will likely be, if you installed Morrowind GOTY through Steam with default options.) Possibly, after removing the semicolons ";" and single spaces you will also need to change the paths. When you do, make sure not to change anything else.
Does not work for me for some reason. I have Python 2.5 installed (and working, I use Wrye Mash) on Windows 10. I have set up the .esm paths in the config.ini. When I try to run the .bat file, window of cmd.exe flashes for a split second, and then nothing happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong/what causes the problem?
Hi, I have tested MWDE with Python 2.7 but not with Python 2.5. I suggest updating your Python installation to 2.7, but if that doesn't fix the problem or if there is a reason why you can't update, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
In case you cannot update, or get an error using Python 2.7 also: You can keep the cmd.exe window open and see the error log by typing "cmd" into the file explorer navigation bar while you're in the MWDE directory, the one containing the *.bat file. (I think this works on Win10? Anyway the point is to get a Command Prompt open and navigated to the MWDE directory, which should be easy to google if typing into the navigation bar isn't an option anymore for Win10.) Once the command prompt is open in the correct directory, type in "python src/dialog_explorer.py". Some versions of Command Prompt only allow you to copy text by right-clicking on the window's title bar, but a screenshot or screenshots that show the entire error would work too.
