EE Keeper for OS X via Wineskin -- UPDATED to 1.0.2.4

$

Hello all,

I've created a Wineskin wrapper for @Troodon80's EE Keeper, and I'm happy to share it with other Mac users out there.

Link to the main EE Keeper thread: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/16497/ee-keeper-updated-to-v1-0-2/p1


Download links for OSX versions: I used the following paths in Wine for the games, which are the locations for the Beamdog installer. If you have a beta version or Mac App Store install, your installation directories may be different.
* BGEE: Z:\Applications\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition\Game Data\00777\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition.app\Contents\Resources\
* BG2EE: Z:\Applications\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\Game Data\00782\BaldursGateIIEnhancedEdition.app\Contents\Resources\

To get EE Keeper working with a Mac App Store install, please see the directions in the spoiler tags:

[spoiler]
Go into EE Keeper.
Select "Settings -> Installation Directory" from the application menu bar (not the OS X menu bar).
Click on "Browse BG:EE" or "Browse BG2:EE", depending on which game you want to set up (if you have both games, do both).
This should bring up a "Browse for Folder" window. Click the "+" symbols to expand the selection tree to "Desktop -> My Computer -> Z: -> Applications".
Then, find "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition.app" (or BaldursGateII-EnhancedEdition.app") and click the "+" symbol to see the folders inside the app package.
Find the directory "Contents -> Resources" inside the app package. Select the Resources folder and click "OK".
These screenshots may help.

For saved games, EE Keeper is looking in the following location: "Documents\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\save"

The Beamdog installer creates a link to the directory "\Users\USERNAME\Library\Containers\com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition\Data\Documents\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\" in your Documents directory, letting EE Keeper find the save directory. Unfortunately, it looks like the Mac App Store version doesn't do this.

You can tell EE Keeper to use a custom save directory. There's a selectable option when you bring up the screen to open a save game. See this image:

Select the Use Custom Save directory option and then click the Browse button. Navigate to:

Z:\Users\USERNAME\Library\Containers\com.beamdog.baldursgateIIenhancededition\Data\Documents\Baldur's Gate II - Enhanced Edition\save\

and then click OK. Don't try to pick a specific save. Just point EE Keeper to the "save" directory.
