This is an app for easy, double-click launching of WeiDU on OS X. It should make mod installation even easier on a Mac than it is in Windows. Here's the download link:

HOW TO USE THIS - FOR MODDERS:
You don't need to do anything, this should work with normal Windows-based WeiDU mods just the way the are (i.e. with a "setup-xxxx.exe" file and a data folder containing a .tp2 file). If you want to include Mac WeiDU with your mod, that's great (follow WeiDU naming and file structure conventions, or just name the Mac version "weidu" with no extension). If you want to include this app with your mod go ahead, you have my blessing.

HOW TO USE THIS - FOR PLAYERS:
(if you already know the basics of installing mods in BG:EE, skip to step 4 at the bottom)

Step 1: Find your BGEE "Resources" folder. Usually, your install is at Applications/Baldur's Gate-EE/Game Data/00777/. You should see an app there, named "Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition." (Remember, it's the app inside the 'Game Data' folder - not the launcher.) Right-click on that, choose "show package contents," and go into /Contents/Resources/. Put this app in that folder.

Step 2: Get a copy of Mac WeiDU here:

Put it in the Resources folder. (It should be named "weidu" with no extension, if it isn't already.)

Step 3: You need some mods! After downloading, uncompress the .zip/.rar/.7z file and copy the mod files into the Resources folder. (See a trend here?) **Please note, when unzipping the mod download, sometimes all the mod files will be extracted out at the top level, and sometimes they will be inside a folder. Look for the "setup-xxxx.exe" file; then move all of the files at that level into the Resources folder.

Step 4: Just double-click this app. The first time you use it, it might ask you what language you play the game in; this must match the language you use in the in-game menu. Then, choose which mod to install from all the mods you've downloaded. It will open up the Terminal and start the WeiDU installer for that mod. From here you just follow the prompts.

To install another mod, run this app again and choose that mod. Just use this app every time, for each mod you want to install - simple!
